SpaceGhosts 1st Grow Hydro Advanced Nutrients

[SpaceGhost]

I've also been working on getting my city water to ph a little more stable. I've been PH-ing my city water with a concentrated sulfuric acid mix and GH ph down. I bought the sulfuric acid at the local auto zone as battery acid (yes BA)
1st I tested a diluted mix of battery acid and water and ph'ed some water that in a bucket. I had removed some branches off the 2 big girls that were loli poped in the flower room. The branches stayed alive more than 2 weeks with no adverse effects in the BA ph'ed water mix with a little nuts and a change every 2 or 3 days.

I've also been Ph'ing my water that I have been bubbling the chlorine out of. I've been using 5gal buckets and it seems to be helping stable the ph by setting it before bubbling starts and then setting it again 24 hrs later. I still use the 2.5gal jugs to bubble out chlorine also, but I use the 5gal buckets 1st and then refill the buckets with the 2.5gal jugs.



Any questions just ask. I might not of explained it to well.

You find what works for you and stick with it for awhile, till you find reason to change what you know works.

You know you keep practicing Dr so much, you are gonna have to open another Branch Office..

LMAO good 1

I always wanted to be a gynecologist proctologist at a female only clinic. guess I'll have to settle for DR. 420

I also smoked the little buds off those Branches and it felt a little Electrifying

Here are some of the latest pics.

I now have 4 under the 600 the largest got a little pinch/twist and a bend to the higth of the smaller plants so they can do a little catching up done. I would now like to get a production going 8 in the flower room with 4 being ready every 8 weeks or so. ( that would be nice wouldn't it)

Do you guy's think I hurt my end yield by defoliating so much? I am at day 28 by my figures. And the large stalks that I bent over are now starting to pick themselve back up

and here is what is left in the veg room I have them all under the 4x4ft t5 saving some $$ by having the 8x4ft t5 off till these little guys get a little bigger. and every1 in my house gets the same nuts 1150. Hydro live by the sword, die by the sword. no wimpy seedlings in my house. The little guy's in the right corner are the grapefruit seedlings.

I see no reason to defoliate right now. You have good light penetration already. They haven't gone bonkers with leaves crowding/shading yet.

Looking good!

No I wasn't going to defoliate again. I was wondering how much my earlier defoliation hurt my grow. I defoliated way to early and too much also for the 1st defoliation in flower. Must have restraint on next group going through.

Hey dude I don't want to sound like I'm being critical or anything since your plants are really doing well, but you might want to get a filter for your camera so you can take pics with the lights on that don't make your plants look yellow. In some of those pictures they look nearly dead but of course they aren't.

Urban Grower shows off a set of sunglasses that do that in one of his recent videos.

I know there are camera filters that do the same type of thing. Your grow is looking so awesome nothing should hold back the pics!

Thanx for the reps on the grow

Sorry about my terrible photos. I will try to post better pics in the future. They now have just past the 30 day mark and the right plant hairs started turning some colors. I really don't expect much out of these 2 plants as they were my guinea pigs. I look at them and see all the mistakes I made along the way and just hope they turn out 1/2 way descent. and get about 3+oz off both of them

I think the large plant on the left maybe super lemon haze as it smells lemony/sweet kinda fruity? or possibly northern lights?

 

[SpaceGhost]

So I busted in my room last night just before the lights turned on and was ready to snap some pictures for you guy's. Snapped 1 pic and the battery died on the camera as I was ready to snap some pics of some bud candy. Sorry guy's I will be ready tonight.

I've also switched my veg lighting over to 12hrs on 5.5 off, 1hr on, 5.5 off for a total of 13hrs in veg. saving 5hrs of electricity at the same time. I've been running like this for a week

so here is the only pic from last night
The plant closest is my new rising star. I super cropped her and tied her down so the main stem can't rise again. Look at all the shoots that think they are top colas now. I counted at least 7 or 8 last night. she has been in there for 12 days now. All my clones are from the Super Lemon Haze

More bud porn tonight around 9pm central

Looking at my plants I have 2 that I have some questions and hope my pics came out good enough for every1 to see and make them out.

I have some seed looking things on 2 of of my plants
one of the smaller plants. Hard to see but it looks different then the rest this plant may have been stressed. waiting for the 1000w and not enough light getting through when the 600 was in the room

and then the larger plant on the right. They look like fuking seeds to me. Did my plant do Hermi? It's only a couple buds on this plant. I don't see any Bananas on ether plant.

 

[Bassman59]

a little hard to tell for me. but looks like it could just be a sexy swollen calyx asking to be pollinated. But I just woke up for work and havent had my coffee yet.

 

[SpaceGhost]

So there's no need to get the Ax out yet?
I did some research last night and everything that I seen on youtube that was a hermi, doesn't resemble anything like my plant. No Nanners, No Balls, just these odd looking seedy, looking things.

So I'm so excited my grab bag of seeds produced SLH. I did some research and that plant was a cannabis cup winner a couple years in a row. The smell is so over powering and unmistakable. The sweet lemon, fruity smell of the buds makes my mouth start watering. God I can't wait I am now starting to push the 1/2 way mark on her at 35 days and counting down as if it were Xmas. Green Thumb don't fail me now

 

[Bassman59]

I really think it's just a swollen calyx

 

[BudTester420]

I really think it's just a swollen calyx

Is that the result of pheno or something else? It happens to my NL as well

 

[Bassman59]

no it's normal. Think of it as a dog in heat, swelling up, wanting to get laid (pollinated) to produce younguns.

Ah good point. I guess I've never really noticed on my plants before.
