BlueSmoke's 2nd Grow

[BlueSmoke]

Time to update some pics. The wife has been pruning leaves back a bit, and amazed at the growth. Things are looking good, but I think I may add a couple of 150w HPS for side lighting. Since the 2 old mothers are in there, they could use the extra light as well.



The plants are 6 1/2 weeks into flower. From last time...they go nearly 12 to really fill out, and have the tricomes start to go amber.

Plants went off nutrients today, and into flush. Flushing with Sugar Daddy and MagicCal. I will flush for 3 days with this solution and then switch to pure water for the final 4 days.

Fan leaves are already yellowing, and the buds are nerly dripping with tricomes. The supercropping and pruning has opened so many bud sites that these things are even budding on the stem at the base of the plants.

Went into flush at 61 days, and will harvest at 68 days. I will take some pictures tonight just after the light go off. The mothers of these plants are also in the flower room and filling in nicely. The went into flower on 4/11, and are 33 days in. They are going to be huge, since we are letting them go, and not supercropping them.

Getting things ready for the next round as well. I purchased a multipot ebb and flow system, ph / temp / ppm monitor. I have 6 BB/Mango Clones coming next week, and am cloning off of a really squat little plant that a friend gave me. Not sure the origin, but he said it is some pretty nice genetics.

Also have seedlings of WhiteBerry and PurePower starting, so that will be on the agenda for a grow in the future. Getting the hang of what needs to be done to keep flower room always running.

Now the question of the day. Any words of advice on nutrients? I am debating between BioBizz and House & Garden. Both are pretty expensive, but I want the best available. Need to order soon.

Just got my new Nutra-Dip Tri-Meter (pH/PPM/Temp.). It is a bit late, considering this hydro grow is flushing. It will definitely be useful for the next grow however. I saved the nutrient solution that came out of my DWC tub, and put the probes in it, just to see what it was running. pH was spot on at 5.9, but the PM was a little higher than I thought at 2220, and this was mixed with purified water. I guess this does explain why the leaf tips have gotten a bit burned.

Here are a few pics of what I have going on...

I am amazed at the buts at the base of the plants....



Overall, a fair harvest. I think we will be getting a few ounces per plant. There are 6 plants in the DWC.



A few pics of the mothers that are a month behind in flowering...

Drained DWC and replaced MagiCal and SugarDaddy with ph adjusted H20. We will cut them down on Wednesday night. They are extremely sticky and covered in tricomes.
