Friends -

I have just finished watering the plants and taking several nice pictures. I was hoping to get them uploaded before I left but I wasn't able to get done quickly enough.

Expect the full week 7 update in about 6-8 hours.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Here's something to tide you over until then...

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Yeah, that's Icky. She's doing better, but I wish I hadn't allowed it in the first place.

Oh yeah. I'd also like to answer a question I was asked a while back about whether the CMH buds are leafier than my CFL buds. (For those without experience with CMH, many HPS users report that their CMH buds are a lot leafier than HPS grown buds. I have no HPS experience, but at this stage of the game, there is definitely more sugar leaf than I'm used to seeing under CFL.

Does anyone know why?

It's just lightspectum stuffs...I think the more blue light increases leaf growth. Maybe all the yellow/orange from the hps makes for abnormally unleafy buds, and the cmh gives a more natural representation.

Any chance you're gonna run a hps on one of the sides next time? :D I think comparing the 2 sides would make a really interesting grow.

Thanks fer the updates...man thanks for taking the time to do alllll your updates, I know alot goes into them. :)

From what I've gathered, I don't think you'd see a significant difference with HPS bulbs. CMH run cooler so you can get the plants closer to make up for the difference in penetration.

Plants look mighty happy. A different strain would have solid buds down to just above the medium's surface.

Forgive me if ya covered this before because I do remember asking about it, but I don't believe it was answered. For next round or if you were to do this round again, would you consider topping the plants, doubling the plant count, cutting down the height of the containers, adding another layer to the stadium, or any combination there of? Your doing awesome man, but I just think some minor changes could really make a big difference.

Also, saw you added some wire to keep them out of the bulbs. Might pay off to be lazy and just let them fan leafs burn up when they get too close. Doesn't make for as pretty pictures as you get, but we're growing bud now, aren't we? The damage done to the burned fans is easily offset, by the increased light as the plants get closer. Hell, burning a plant or two with what your doing to just see how close they can get is sacrificing a few for the good of many.

Now, is it update day again yet? :smoke:

Looking great anti!! :dance013:

Watch out for bud rot on Icarius. Had that happen to one of my girls last round, and during drying, ended up with a tiny bit of gray mold surrounding the burnt, brown/yellow...

Even with low humidity and good airflow, granted she was quite dense, but just something to watch for as I wouldn't want it to spread on you to those other pretty girls

Awesome again :wave:

Looking splendid chap :)

Buds are coming along very nicely, have you pruned more leaf from the lower tier plants?
The first pic u posted this update looks a lot like that green crack cut I see pics of online, but I know u say these are AK's...

Guess it must be smelling pretty dank in there about now! What would you say were the most prominent differences between your CFL plants and these?

I used some CMH bulbs to veg some seedlings, never used CMH before, it's definitely slightly cooler than a HPS, only a couple degrees at most difference though. I can't say the seedlings were more or less leafy than they would be normally. I've grown both sets of seeds out before so I got a rough idea on what they grow like.

Wowsas bro filling up nicely. Is this setup filled to max capacity. Thought I recalled u sayin that there isn't the full amount of clones in there. If thats the case then damn I'd be more then happy with what u got now. Well congrats on everything so far especially how uniform in size the clones are. Peace

I second that. The more blue adds to more leaf production.

Looking great Anti, almost done bro!! :D

Anti please forgive my ignorance but I can't remember how you are feeding? Are you going to switch to E&F next run? I like your system so much that I'm thinking about building one myself, I've got an idea about making it into a coco drip run to waste system, instead of pots you could fill the space with coco for a bed with drippers, modify the bottom of the bed to fit in a leaf catcher for drainage and guttering under the leaf catcher to take away the waste, guttering around the whole design with a wast pipe going into your waste tray/rez. Imagine these at the bottom of the coco beds...

It would be a hybrid system of drip fed and NFT when the roots grow into the guttering. I'm gonna have to plan this out good and go over it all but I can tell you now that I will do this.

What do you think?

Sorry it's a little off topic anti but hgo you could use fabric pots instead of layers of hydroton, will be cleaner as well
