If they have yellowed, you will have to look for new growth. I would put them in tap water until they recover. Super low dose nutes once you see some growth.
Less is more - keep additives to a minimum.

Glad to see you made it to the party! High light period sensetivity on those plants. I have to keep 24/7 light for my mom room - I do mix some warm light in there - or older moms will want to autoflower.
It's going to be fun!
-SH
Looking very nice! How much longer do do plan to veg?
Let's watch the grass grow!

Chop Chop Chop .....
Chop Chop Chop .....
Well ended up letting the BCN Diesel go the full 70 Days. Too many people around during turkey weekend and got elected to watch RK (Rotten Kid-1 yr old grandson) HAHAHA on black friday. Also for the first time ever my diesel decided to start turning reddish purple on the leaves. Very cool so decided to let it go.
While trimming the batch I have never had to clean my scissors so often - Credit to AK and his nutrient recommendations.
The topped plants could have used a little more veg 18 to 20 inches before flip - I have a lot of headroom. All in all a good run.
This Kannabia strain is very easy to grow (highly recommended for rookies) with a great high and incredible smell - it reeks. May not ever hit 2+ pounds with it but the quality is definately there.
The biggest yield I have ever gotten from this strain was 25 oz and I may hit that this time. Time will tell.
Well 25 plants chopped and on hangers drying, so heres some photos.

Alright officially count me in!
Both 36 site units are done, leaks fixed thanks to OG's advice...
Suffered a major setback a week ago as posted earlier, lost over 25% of them when low dose of h202 was added to cloners (wtf?)... lost another 25% by transfering germinated seeds directly to collars in cloner and not using RW cubes.... FML
Anywho as Aero explained, things can go bad fast, and you must plan...
Starting journal so i dont flood a great thread with my bullshat, but i will cross that finish line!

Root report
Root report
Ak, while cleaning up my system last night noticed that my roots have never looked so plentiful and good. Sorry no pics but your nute regiment really works.
System upgrade will come before next run to a top spray feed instead of the spray heads in to lower part of the tube. PITA to get roots out and I am always concerned they will be covered up with roots.
Thanks OG

Let me officially welcome you to the group! Ask any questions and be sure to post plenty of pix. It's gonna be fun!
-oldergrower
I'm so pleased that this run went well for you. That spray head improvement should save some hair on your head. Have you thought about veg/plant strategy for the next run?
-SouthernHaze
Thanx for the update. Looks like you have some veg time to go yet. They look very healthy!

You guys are making me proud of this place. I truely admire your guts and determination to step up and do this with me.
Best of Luck to All!

Next run
Next run
For my next run I have started some weedbeat seeds rh x cc.
So far I have 3 females and 2 males showing out of 11 beans.
Also in the mix will be some wifi. Am holding off on cloning about
1 week for the wifi clones.
Did buy an turbo kloner and have been playing with it. Not so good first try but I think I had ph problem.
The rh x cc roots quickly. These strains are unfamilar to me so will probably grow untopped to 12" then flower.
Good Luck everyone else.

Need some advice!
First off the girls (which are from fem seed) are doing awesome in the cloners, but since almost half of them were lost due to early mistakes im trying to fiure out the placement for them!
Only 2 of the freebies popped so as long as nothing else happens there will be x25 to work with. should i fill one system with x18 and put the other x7 in the second unit then just top those x7 four times?? Im kind of lost as to what to do with the layout and wondering if anyone has any suggestions...

I would spread them out and give them a lil extra veg time. They will fill in and take advantage of the light.

copy that AK...
since i did start from seed and not from clone, how will this affect the way that i follow your pruning etc. when they are in the cloner? which node should i be topping at?
thanks so much again.

Are you keeping archive copies in case something turns out good? If you are not, then go ahead and follow the normal process. I top around the 5th or 6th node depending on how stretchy the plant is.
You can reveg after harvest to get clones - but this takes a while and obviously bloom time from another run.
If you can wait - grow out the plants a lil large in veg and make your top a new clone.
By the time you are ready to chop the unit, you will have more clones ready to plant.

Thanks for the reply...
There are 3 that are already sticking out of the crowd, as they are much larger, and faster growing, just need to see what the yield is on them...
Reveg isnt an option...
Had originally planned to top at the 5th, and prune / cleanup bottoms of plants before flower and use those as clones..
Looking back at your journals, I will need two fair sized mothers to support both units?
Worried that these cloners i got off ebay arent deep enough as the roots on these are getting allot longer then I anticipated. Having to use nylons as cheapo filter screens so they done get sucked into pump intakes, might do as OG did and just veg them in the units?
