These are my latest effort.
1x Diamond OG, 1x Corleone kush, and 2x Kimbo kush. I tried to freeze them to death when I got them..poor girls..lol
These have been under 12/12 for 10 days. I only vegged them for 2 weeks as I just need a quick crop and the small yield will be enough...
It's a top feed system with a 40 gallon res... bubbler in the res and also in each bucket..constant recirculation... hydroton for medium. Let me just say now that I hate rockwool to the core of my being and I never use it. End rant. Lol

Lights total about 1200 watts of LEDs...800 watts of Chinese grow lights and 400 watts of daylight spectrum flood lights.
Using GH maxibloom, 700 ppm give or take...foliar feeding with alfalfa tea for the next few days...pH at 6.0, water temp 67f. My air temp floats around between 65 and 80f.
I've got clones rooting... One of my Diamond OG cuts rooted in 6 days...
Overall happy...it's a good feeling when things are going well.

Update. Plants are doing well. Buds are just starting to pop.
I changed my lights. Now running 800 advertised watts of daylight spectrum flood lights...yeah, I know...but at $17 each....the proof is in the greenery.
Nutes are around 900ppm.
pH at 6.
Let me say...I do a lot of things "wrong" and these girls are looking pretty good.
I super cropped one of the kimbo kush's...for some reason she grew really leggy and I needed her to be shorter.y other kimbo appears to be a pretty normal plant for a hybrid.
Neither the Diamond OG not the Corleone kush stretched like that..
Anyway, here they are along with the new light rack

Wow. Looks great.

 

[Matthewstever]

Wow. Looks great.

Thanks. I almost froze them to death when I got them....in fact, one of my Diamond og's stunted, and it's now in a bucket of dirt in the closet with the cloner.
Update...found pollen sacs on my Corleone kush..she went herm...
I'm gonna remove the sacs as I find them and press on...I don't have the time or the will to start over and she's not too big to check.

Stunted as in, no more growth? Does that also equate to root bound? Yes, this is how new I am to this. Prior to, I just smoked. :)

 

[Matthewstever]

Yeah, she stopped growing. She's still only 6" tall....I grow in hydro, so definitely not root bound. It was likely the cold...the roots were in 57°f water for 2 days...with air temps in the high 50f range. The other girls all snapped back and started growing normally..
Sorry about the blurple pic. She's the one in the bucket...same age as the ones in flower...

Another update.
The Corleone kush in the center and the diamond OG both started making trichomes. They're gonna be frosty.
The Kimbo kush appears to have a strong sativa presence...still stretching, and budlets are late compared to the Corleone and the diamond...
It's the "maintain and wait" part of the grow....
I'm letting my pH swing a bit from @5.7 up to 6.5, and then I adjust back down. The cycle takes a few days..trying to mimic nature and make sure they get the different micronutes...not sure if it'll be better, it's a lazy experiment as I have no control for comparison...
Anyhoo...thanks for looking!!

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Ya got you a nice project started!

 

[Matthewstever]

Thanks..next step (that I should have fixed before the grow started) is to work on my humidity. I'm in the Mojave desert, and my room is a constant 20% rh.
Last grow I had a swamp cooler running (summer grow) and the room stayed about 52-55% when it was running.
I tried running a small humidifier, and it didn't budge the meter off of 20%.
Oh the challenges....

 

[Matthewstever]

Update.
Will the kimbo kush ever stop stretching? Ffs.
This is my least favorite part of the grow because it requires soooo much patience..

 

[Matthewstever]

Update. They're still growing.

 

[ru knuts]

Noob here, are you going to scrog them or is the net more for supporting them upright?

 

[Matthewstever]

Update.
The screen is more just for support...they got out of hand a bit.
Finally the Kimbo kush have stopped stretching and are filling out. They're an easy 3' tall..had to tie them down yet again...
They're just gaining weight at this point. Got like, 4 weeks to go on the low end...they're just now starting to make a decent amount of frosty...
