Fresh new grow

[Flowerman]

I must say they are coming along nicely for only being in for 6 days, I got a few slow ones, but I'm sure they'll pick up. I was going to wait for 3 weeks before backing the light down 12/12, but I might be able to start them next week, with a nice short 2 week veg period.
Here's another plant that is in flowering. It's been neglected some, but it is really super frosty. It's another Seti x G13BW female I have. If it's anything like its sister, then it would be a plus since this one is super frosty, where her sister is frosty, but only on a medium scale, but she rates right up there with some of the most powerful smoke to date. I have a few cuttings of her, that will be used for my moms, and here will be their home in awhile, it's a igloo cooler. I still need to add some pvc tubing and a pump, to make it a dual, aero or hydro. I would like the fact if the power went off, I would have the option of using the hydro in case of an emergency. The plants on the outer edges are Chimera's Grapefruit x NL, and the plants in the center lane is cuttings off of the frosty mum that's flowering now, seti x g13bw pheno2.

[Flowerman]

ThanksCC
Here’s some close up shots of seti x g13bw pheno#2. She’s a frosty gal, even though she has been neglected some.

Far out flowerman, is it close enough harvest time yet?

 

[Flowerman]

I wish about 4 more weeks still to go.

>>>>Here's a pic of when I first put them in, I believe this is actually day 2, as the tips are pointing up, and if memory serves me right, that was day 2. But I wanted to add a pic from the get-go, to do a whole grow diary.

Nice lookin buds, and it looks like there'll be a lot more comming

Are those blue disc's air stones? that's pretty cool if they are, perfect size to fit one under each netpot! never seen circular air stones before.

Ill he stoppin by as things come along. Nice mom, she sure is a looker

Your a great photographer flowerman... What kind of camera do you use?

[Guest]

wow Flowerman - you have a great camera, those bud shots are PRIMO

I also really like that bubbler you made with the ice chest, putting the gang valve under the lid is a good idea, those air stones look sweet

peace

 

[Flowerman]

Thanks all
THCesar, yep they are round air stones. I really like them, they're heavy, don't float around, easy to clean. They come in different sizes, ranging from like 1", 3", and 5".
bartender187, the camera I use is a Canon S1 IS. It's ok IMO, and does take great pics if the lighting is just right. If it's dark, or cloudy outside, then it becomes fair. I had a Fuji that I only paid $200 for, and for the price, I got my monies worth. This one, I'm still debating over, but it does take great quality shots if the lighting is good, and has alot of nice features. Next year though, I will definitely take a look at some more.
hydroxide, I luv the bubblers, this one here is a 30 gallon one, which is awesome. I still got to put the pvc in it though. Will be using 180 degree micro sprayers for it, 4 on each outer side.

19 days, and 2 days into flowering.
I must say, aero rocks, I just love the speed of the veg time, and how large they are. Though flowering time will be the same, the veg time is cut by more than half the time. And as Martha would say, "That's a good thing".

nice grow flowerman, and i couldnt agree more, that is "a good thing" i will stay tuned.

 

[Flowerman]

Thanks I love the aero already. I'll probably have to shut it down for months like April, May, and possible June though. Because that's when we have some powerful storms, and it seems like those are the only months my power gets hit for days at a time. But then I'll just use the igloos, so it all will works out. So like 3 grows per year with this, and one with the igloos.

 

[Flowerman]

Here they are at exactly 24 days from the start, and are like 6 days into flowering. I’m getting ready to change the reservoir one last time, and this should take me all the through flowering. The Seti x G13BW just has taken off to the max, they have more stretch than the grapefruit x NL pheno, but that’s why I chose the GFNL to begin with, as it was the shortest plant, and was very potent. But all the plant have really loved it so far. I still have to grow my favorite SetiG13BW mum in it, and she will get a test run when these are done. Oh I did have to take one plant out, somehow I accidentally put one of my Chemo x Grapefruit male cuttings in there, and I saw them balls starting to form, and said Oo Oo, lol, that’s got to go. But it was caught in time.

Scha-weet!!

Very nice plants FlowerMan!I just love when the plants are all a healthy green color,they are lovin life right now and you will be lovin life when they are done!

 

[Flowerman]

They're coming along nicely. It gets kind of hard to really see their true colors, when I have my HPS lights on, but they're still a lovely green, and coming along very nicely. Here's a quick pic of them at 11 days flowering.

Im going to have to stop the soil grows and move onto hydro or aero cause the growth rates are incredible.

Ill be watching these babies take off

 

[Flowerman]

Rabbitt, there's a huge difference in the rate of growth for the vegging time. It's just awesome watching them grow so damn quick. I like the fact that I can veg for 2 weeks, slap them in flowering, and they get to a nice sweet size, that will yield well. I'm definitely going to get 2 more of these units, cause I simply love them, but I also need to get a generator incase the power goes off. Or turn on the camper with a long cord, lol. But ya, it's amazing all the way. Thanksgiving is going to be a beautiful time this year, knock on wood anyway.

14 days of flowering and looking strong. I just wanted to comment on the add back calculations. I saw them I believe in a sticky in the CW's hydroponics forum, and I forgot who put them up, but damn, they work to a T. I believe they might have gotten them from the General Hydroponics site, but they work great for GH nutrients.
{(Target - Current) / Target x 8mils per gallon} x Reservoir gallons = Micro (double this to get mils bloom).

Example:
Target is 500ppm, and the level is 380ppm, my reservoir is 15 gallons.
{(500 - 380)/500} x 8 x 15
120 / 500 = 0.24
0.24 x 8 x 15 = 28.8 rounded up is 29mils Micro, double that and it gives 58mils bloom.
I add about ½ gallon of water and mix for each before I put into my reservoir, let it set out as well. But it takes me right to the target. Thanks again whoever originally posted this, works great.

19 days flowering and going strong. I turned off the lights to take these shots. It's been awhile since I've even seen them when the HID's off.
>>>You can barely see the grapefruit x NL, as they only take up the first 2" from the bottom of the pic. The Seti x G13BW has took over, and has completely covered all the grapefruit x NL, which are only 15" tall, whereas the setG13bw are around 35" tall, and wide as well.
