from my understanding it should be pitch dark, you should not be able to make out your hand if you hold it out in front of your face.

Anyone know otherwise?

It depends on the strain for light leaks. I have light leaks and never get hermies, some strains can't handle a light leak.
 
dude post 8 sees a pic of your fan ducting nearly bent to half capacity and a few times too
this is going to greatly reduce the air vortex and thus power so your fan might as well be a heater, keep it nice and straight with as few bends in it as you can and if it must bend then keep em gentle
looks to me also as if you have some bigger plants at either end , this could be a flow issue with the feeds being aggravated at both ends but settling in the middle .
Throw a few airstones in there or something to make splashes

Plants r gonna stretch cos they were stressed ie non rooters and they r now straight into flower !! Id have even expected a few hermies
You can pull of the ballsax and be lucky but you can also double the amount of sites so do wot feels good at the time

What a beautifull room though seems the missus is loved up with you

Im taking a seat for ya good luck

I may talk shit but there is loads of it so you can pick through at your leisure Im often very stoned

Looking good! I can't wait to see the finished product. That hemi problem you have, is it under control yet or are you still picking off male genetalia? I had that happen to me and even though they kept producing balls it all turned out okay in the end. I think I got a dozen seeds or so and that was it. Thing is you really have to inspect the whole plant every 12 hours or so to keep it in check. Lots of work, but you went this far already you minus well do the best you can. Hope you turn out as lucky as I was. Regardless, you will have some primo smoke.

Haven't seen any balls since those pictures... The bigger plants you see at the end are in dirt, i think the water flow is good. Ill try and straighten out the ducting, but it seems to be ok the room is never above 72 with both 600's on.

the veg is huge, the one on the right is the bullrider which i have trimmed back and cut up the rootball hoping to keep it short as a primary mother plant. all the other ones we are probably going to bloom somewhere else under another 2 600's after we clone them all in case there are any good genetics. just waiting for the ezcloner 60 to come in the mail - probably monday. never vegged plants this long (prob 90 days from seed), so i bet they are going to bloom huge. most are showing female pre-flowers.

Great Comeback!

Things are gonna explode....For best yields, I'd trim up the bottom sections of your plants....believe me, i've lost lots of quality weight due to NOT trimming!

Since summer is coming up, I would insulate ALL ducting! It'll help lots.

That strain is obviously light leak sensitive, so DON"T mess w/em at all during sleep....cover anything that is producing any indirect light, maybe use anymore panda to section off the room so that you have another layer of darkness....

Have you switched nutes up yet? May be good to do so if not...the plants will love new water/fresh nutes....

Start to take heat/light precautions now, because these problems may become more prevalent as the plants drink more due to increased bud production....remember one hidden pod can ruin half your crop! To reach your elbow, trim so you dont end up with shit-bag popcorn at the bottom...you also have 72 degree heat NOW, but you dont want the plants ripening in 85+ heat, which you will have as summer approaches w/ your current set up...you may want to figure out that a/c for the last 2-4 weeks of flower...quality over quantity...

great job!
Here's some motivation...

I agree. Only reason to keep a hermie around is if you don't have a lot of plants anyhow, looks like you do so I would chop. I had a hermie, but I only have 4 plants, so I picked a few balls and look what emerged.

so Obviously, if I would have chopped her my yield would have hurt tremendesley, but for you there is no need, unless it is a special plant or your only female or something. Also keep in mind when they are shown this early, most likley the plant will preform a 'reversal' and side with being a male or female.

Larry likes gardening...

Day 21 flowering...

My photographs are horrible but you can kind of see whats going on... Heres a sensi star





shitty macro of sensi star:






heres a strawberry diesel... much lenkier and way slower to bud i guess thats the sativa in it, it almost averages twice as tall and at least twice as far between nodes. maybe half the hair content so far. anybody know anything about this strain or can verify its authenticity?






heres a piss poor overview of the garden you can see the diesel on the right center just stretched out as can be.






and a few pics of the veg







second one is mirrored (no it didn't double in size overnight)

waiting for the ezcloner 60 to come in the mail... borrowed my friends 30 and cloned the NLxBB, Dreamweaver X GodBud, Ak-47, and Bullrider. heres a pic right after we got the pump running. was just over there today and they are all standing up and looking pretty.



also replaced the leaking rubbermaid with a botanicare rez with a lid. found that because of the ridges on the inside of the rubbermaid that having one inside the other put a pin size whole on the inside one and pushed the ridge out on the outside causing another pinsize hole and an unbelievably slow leak. much nicer with the plants about a foot lower - more pics soon!

just using RO water with a little tap water mixed in in the ez-cloner. water temps are running at 80F is that ok?

heres the main crop (day 32 flowering):




diesels filling in:


sensi star fattening up



PPM's are up to 2200!! Seems like a lot for aero but no major burning at all. PH is 6.0. We have changed the resevoir water twice but have never actually flushed/rinsed. Still just using GH 1-2-3.

here you can kind of see the new botanicare rez, it's well worth the $100 - it doesn't flood your house.

Things are progressing not as fast as I would like but almost done. Next round is going to be just 20 bullriders in Aero with 5 side dirt projects. The aero will be netted and the bullshit under the net cut off. Also we think that not flushing the system every week hindered the nutrient uptake - PPMs reached 2300 without burning which is ridiculous. Now we've added a little bit of Mothers of All Bloom and Sweet (i think the sweet is just expensive molasses but oh well). Now its running about 1500 PPM on our way down to 0. Ph has been stable the whole time between 5.8 and 6.2.


NLXBB on left Bullrider in back (32 days flower)




Rest of Plants (47 days flower)
Sensi Star




Super Shiva




Strawberry Diesel tall ones







The last clones all rooted in 12 days with 8" roots here's 5 of them planted about 4 days ago






The next clones - 36 Bullriders
