Trainwreck is a good strain

Now for Week 2. This week also went pretty well, had some minor PH issues and some other problems but they were solved after using advise from the infirmary here. They really took off during this week. (Feb. 15-22)

Well Just took some pics for the start of week 3 (which actually started on Feb. 23). This week has been alright so far, I have topped the plants on Feb. 20 but they are just now starting to recover from the cut. Here they are:

These are the plants today (Feb 27). They are stating to take off after the topping/fimming. One has seemed to developed some root algae going to have to research a remedy for this. We decided to name the plants. Here are some pictures:

Cute dog but keep her out. Dogs can bring in bugs and pollen from what I hear. My dogs stay out of the growroom. My boy (a pit too) pissed on one of my containers when he snuck in. My wife thought it was funny, "aww he found a new tree to pee on"

The algae wont hurt your plants unless it covers the roots. Then it can choke the roots and starve them of oxygen from what I have read. Alage does use some of your nutes as well. Make sure the roots get no light. And you can use some hydrogen peroxide to kill the alage. I have poured it directly onto roots with no bad affects.

Naming your plants? You are crazy !!! Dont get attached cause the day will come where they will be CHOPPED!!!

Looks good, good luck

Well today is Mar. 4 and the plants are doing very well. I can't believe that they are so big, it has only been 26 days of veg. I think this week will be the last week of veg. They are starting to smell pretty good even without buds on them. Well here are some pics:

And an overhead, compare this to the overhead from Feb. 27(only 6 days ago), they are getting big really quick:

 

[basement420]

Here is Mar. 6 probably going to put them into 12/12 on Mar. 8 that will be one whole month of vegetative growing. I changed the lights Mar. 4 by putting them onto a 18/6 schedule.

Here are some pics from today and does anyone know what could be causing the leaf tip yellowing in one of the pics? I am kinda concerned about it.
