i believe the Dr was right. they were hungry. progression of the necrosis paired with a clear need for more N was due to the plants starving. i doubled the nute solution to 650 ppm and it seems to have fixed the problem. it looks like they're going to be heavy feeders. they'll get they're next feeding tomorrow. time to bump up the ppms and test their limits. with only 2-3 weeks till flip i'm looking to maximize their growth potential as much as possible.

things are looking crowded. i'll be flipping to 12/12 & cutting clones as soon as my order arrives. 600w quantum digital ballast, and a sun system low rider 6" air cooled hood, and of course the bulb. all males will be chopped. the best preforming male will get cloned. the first male clone that shows roots will get put into 12/12 in a room by itself, so that i can harvest his pollen. still no nute burn at 1200ppm. they'll get bumped up again this week to see if they can handle it. looking to cut about 18-22 clones and get them set up in the bubble cloner. going to be a busy week.
question for the experts. how do you stop clawing?
i know my ph has been perfect. it gets ph'd to 5.3 and has a nice gradual drift up to 5.8. i'm thinking its my RH. it sits around 50%-60%. temps have been ideal 72-76. depending on ambient temp.

equipment still hasn't arrived in the mail yet. it will definitely come this week. no matter, i kept myself busy this past week. i looked at carbon filters, and didn't like the price tags. i decided to build one myself. i'm considering doing a scrog on these plants. i'm building the screen tomorrow and checking how close to full it will be as the plants are right now. who knows maybe i'll do another week or 2 of veg just to fill up the net. mostly likely i'll just flower them as is and flip them immediately. going to pick up the activated carbon for the filter. also looking into building a box around the inline fan, and insulating the fan for a little noise suppression.
busy busy :icon_smile:

- find a cardboard box that the fan will fit in.
- cut 6" diameter holes on both sides of the box. (obviously you cut a 4", 8", or 10" holes if that is the size of your fan). also cut a small hole for the power cord as well
- cut out the bottom of the box, so that it can be replaced with something that the fan can be mounted to. i used a piece of 1/2" plywood, cut to fit where the bottom used to be.
- wrap the inline fan & the power cord with plastic wrap to protect it from the insulation
- mount the fan to the plywood, and place the cardboard box over the fan.
- duct tape(god i love duct tape) the cardboard box to the plywood.
- insert the duct work into the makeshift holes and fasten it to the fan with zip ties or duct clamps.
- fill the inside with spray foam insulation. (mine took 4 bottles of insulation (6.99 each))
- close the top and duct tape it well so it stays closed.
just tested the fan, and i'm extremely happy with how much it reduced the noise level.
WARNING: do NOT touch the spray foam when it is still wet. i think i'll be scraping glue off my hands for the next week or so LOL. that'll teach me to check if the foam dried with my bare hands

i've been in 12/12 for 7 days now, and none of the plants showed *** yet. i have a hunch on a few of them, but no conclusive evidence yet. last week i cut a round of clones for the bubbler. i dont know exactly what happened, but all the cuttings wilted and died within like 4 days. i lost 18 clones in all. luckily i topped and fim'd the plants like a mad man, so i was able to cut more today. i cut 5 clones yesterday, and 17 more today. i'm trying a new technique i read good things about. after taking the cuttings i place them in water for 24 hrs in complete darkness before giving them the root gel and placing them in the bubbler. hopefully i have some success this time. if not i'm going to have to go back to the rapid rooters cloning method. i've had great success with it in the past. even worse, if this round of clones fails i'll have to cut from main shoots in order to keep the NL going in the future. its crunch time!

5 out of 9 are female. males got chopped today. i'm so glad the 2 plants that are clearly genetically superior to rest turned out to be female. if they produce & smoke well, they'll deff be kept in the rotation for a while
the pre-flowers in the first 3 pics are still small, but they are there. my phone can only take so good of pics

buds are beginning to show. alot of bondage going on, and more to come as they begin to pack on the weight. gave them a good trimming so they focus all their energy on the tops. getting fed tomorrow, gonna hit them with a good dose of P. it looks as though i'm going to need to supplement cal/mg in flower. maybe its just the tint from the light. either way i'll find out soon find out soon though.
