Ok, that's an issue for logic if you're losing the whole button. I'll suggest making sure everything is up to date, but on both my browser and my Android device I can see the Upload a File option.

So, without me changing anything, the Upload File seems to be working again

Oddly, the clone under the SE 250 is budding like crazy with ~ 300ppms- also, pH keeps dropping WTF? I dumped the old nutes and added fresh this morning

The clone under the SE 220 is beginning to form buds too. I was a little behind moving it from under the ~ 60w led in the clone tent

Gave myself an early holiday present, a new Amare Technologies Pro3, which is now in the 5 x 5 x 6 tent. It is supposed to cover 2 x 4 area, and looks like it does. Alas, I only have one plant to place under it, unless I also move the other clone under it as well. Hmmmm. That would save electricity and be a vg test for coverage

I then moved the diesel clone from the shorter and less wide tent as it was already pushing past the older Amare SE 220. As you can see it was doing a fine job, but I have no doubt this light will easily out perform the 220

Also the second 2 pics are the other clone under the SE 250 after about 7 days from defoliating

Just finished first defol the clone under the Pro3

will do second defol on the clone under the SE 250 later

PhatNuggz · Nov 10, 2016

Defol completed

Pic 1 -2 Pro3- first defol

Pic 3 SE 250 2nd (final) defol- forearms got sticky :):love2:

I love the Cubes (19" on center) as I can easily separate the bars from the balls and adjust the branches.

2 days ago I popped 4 seeds from the mother, and yesterday morning 3 from the seed stock the mother came from

So far the first 4 have all cracked

PhatNuggz · Nov 14, 2016

Replaced both rezes with fresh nutes

PhatNuggz · Nov 19, 2016

Update

Everything is moving along great

Pics 1-3 are the SE 250

4-5 are the P 3 (300w)

PhatNuggz · Nov 20, 2016

The clone under the SE 250 is sucking nutes and water like crazy, to tune of ~ 2g every 2-3 days. Rather than topping off, this morning I drained the tote and made fresh nutes

6 seedlings from pollinating the mother of the clones with a tall sat male have broken through the starter cubes. Time to put them in my DIY bubbler, but I need to be careful as I have seen a few palmetto bugs around, and they are notorious for munching on the young plants. I will place humidity domes over them until they get bigger

Happy Turkey Day

Here's a quick update

First 3 pics are under the SE 250. The thumb bud pic is ~ 38" BELOW the panel with no lenses

I am really loving the P3. Too bad that clone was not as healthy as the one under the SE 250

The babies (from the mother/donor + tall male sat of same seeds) are now under the SE 220, but only using the monos for a few more days

The bud next to my thumb is ~ 36" below the panel, and I am not using the lenses!

Do you have an "Upload a File" tab in the reply box? What exactly is happening? Let me see what happens when I attach.

lol that picture kinda reminds me of me when i am in a heated debate lmao

PhatNuggz · Nov 25, 2016

Made fresh nutes for both tents

PhatNuggz · Nov 30, 2016

Seedlings have stalled due to pilot error

I was hand watering, but it wasn't enough for roots to develop

I added a shallow water bubbler a couple days ago, but only 2 seem to be responding

Just dropped some more seeds

Having a discussion elsewhere regarding GPW

Based on personal experience of mostly growing single plants under < 300w Amare panels in < 3 x 3 (and not being motivated by GPW) I typically get < 1 GPW

BUT, expand that to 4 x 4+ with 2+ plants and it should be no problem, however, IMHO, it's about quality, not quantity, but both would be nice. Might be time to get another 4 x 4 tent

I have one clone under the P3 (300w) in a 4 x 4 but tucked in the corner so more like 2 x 4 and that clone is branching out to damn near fill that space (pic # 1 & 2) Pic 3 & 4 is same mother/donor clone in 30 x 30. Note those branches are growing more vertically

Reading a most interesting article in the new Weed World magazine about when to harvest. Well, there's a lot more in the article than just that

One tidbit is in hydro, it's easy to over-water. This is easy to compensate when doing F & D, but DWC, NFT, RDWC

Until now I have been flooding every hour throughout, though on the past I would extend during mid-late flower to 2-3 hours

I just flushed both systems for ~ 24 hours, and now feeding only once every 3-4 hours

It finally occurred to me that my CLONES are not showing any red/purple in their leafs

Any ideas?

PhatNuggz · Dec 7, 2016

Due to not taking proper care several of the first batch of seeds died. 2 are doing well

Lots of new seedlings popped.

I tried a new idea, using sea minerals (sea salt with salt removed) and the newest 4 literally jumped out of the starter cubes

PhatNuggz · Dec 9, 2016

I changed the nutes to the SE 250 yesterday, the P 300 gets changed today

Probably one more week before the going dark under the SE 250; two more under the P 300

I made a few changes hoping to see whether the red leafs return:

On the SE 250 I added 2 lenses on the front 2 CoBs

On the P 300 I added all three lenses and shut off the rings yesterday, but turned them back on today as the lenses restrict the light the perimeter buds get

Today’s job: Move the babies into the bubbler system, instead of the reverse cooler lid, which is too shallow as roots are exiting the bottom of the starter cubes

PhatNuggz · Dec 11, 2016

wow. Yesterday I was using a mag glass to inspect the trichs and noticed the pistils on the plant under the P 3 are almost all red. This surprised me as this plant is about 7 days behind her sibling under the SE 250. Did the P3 have anything to do with this? Time to cut nute strength < 400 in preparation to flush

Hail Hydro!
