Thanks TF. This is my first dairy, so I am just hoping I don't experience a catastrophic disaster and loose everything!-While everyone watches LOL.

The bottoms need trimmed so bad. I have some work ahead of me this weekend...

Right on man. I say post the good and the bad. We are here to help, not to laugh at someone who is putting it out here to learn better ways to garden. Sometimes posting your biggest problems lets you learn the most.

Don't worry. I bricked two batches here for everybody. Live and learn. Now I just had two awesome runs back to back. Good stuff man.

Keep up the good work.

Day 8 Trim

What up Farmers? Today was my first major trim. They were getting out of control. I had branches and leaves resting on the tops of my rockwool blocks. I was only able to start one tray and almost finish it, but it ALWAYS takes much longer than I anticipated. LOL Tray B, the side with the topped plants. I trimmed underneath most plants but I still have a bit more to take off on the plants along the back wall. I've been sick for a few days, so today was the first time I was able to get in there and do some work. :puke

Below are some pictures before and after the trim.

Thanks for checkin in. I agree, Its crazy how fast they took off. GDP is such a leafy plant. "Ah, how they grow up so fast" haha. And good or bad, I will keep posting. I am here for the long-haul. Hopefully, no too long though… In the past my GDP went about 70 days. Last time was 72. My target this run "69." LOL just cuz. The trichomes will let me know when they are ready.

Yeah-They really needed that trim, especially for the airflow. Plus, I've gotten knat/fruit flies when they all brushy and the leaves are resting on the cubes. After I trimmed, I put a few of those yellow sticky card under there too. I haven't seen any flying around but I saw a few on the existing cards.

GDP does like it cool. It cooled down a bunch this week so I have been able to keep my room between 62-74. Which is perfect. Toward the end of the grow the weather will be cooler and should be able to keep it in the 60 day and night. I have a vented room now, but I want to try co2 with my next grow operation.

Day 11

They grow up so fast! Seriously, I can't believe how well these girls are doing. I'm pumped! Both trays are looking equally awesome. The temperature has been between 62-75 and humidity is 40-57%. My nutrients are @ 1200 ppm and 5.8pH.

Below are a few pictures.

Thanks bro. I am really happy with this grow. I hope they stay that way. The last time I thought my grow was going perfectly- I had some spider mites throw me a curveball. In all honestly, it was my own ignorance that allowed that to happen. I guess we live and learn.

Hey Bud Head, Yeah I drip to waste with a weekly reservoir change. I have 2 trays and each one operates individually with its own reservoir(on the same timer). I water when the light are one, 2 times a day, for about a minute per feed.

Thanks for checkin in - Sinlge

Thanks gentleman. It's definitely lookin good in there. Its has potential for a great yield based on my limited space. The trellises have been key for training and spreading them out. They stretched a little this week but it was a good thing. I just tucked them back under the net and spread them out. I start week 3 tomorrow, so it should be my last week of stretching. From there, they just get fat, sticky, and PURPLE!

I'll post some more pictures tomorrow,

Day 15

What up farmers? I didn’t have the energy to post light night. Everyone in my house is sick. Seriously, what a pain in ass! It took all I had just to manage the reservoir change last night.

For me, res change meant: brush out some buildup on my reservoir walls, run ClearEX(as maintenance 100ml per 5-6 gallons), new nutrients, and I even calibrated my Hanna ppm/pH meter. I wish I wouldn’t have skimped when I bought it. I got the model without a temperature reader. Instead, I have the little suction-cup POS one and ALWAYS frees itself and float around in the furthest corner of my reservoir. LOL

My room vitals are:
Temperature: 64-75
Humidity: 38%-55%
PPM: just under 1300
pH 5.8
