So 1 of my air lines was pinched and I lost a plant last night.
It was probably pinched for a while.
I will update when I can.

So I went for it all today, I even gave the not so healthy plants a dose of food at 1.8 EC.
Probably not my brightest move but it is done.
Yall said I was needin more chow!
I know big momma and big daughter seem to be loving it so far, me hopes the stragglers will too.

Remember, all the buckets had issues from the start.
I believe it was too much PH down(phosphoric acid).

I will post pics soon!

Well, it might have been a touch too much food!
I will give them some RO water and check the PH in the morning.
They do not look bad, just a little browning of the hairs.

Oh yea
The dead plant is gone and I had to stake momma up several times!:dance013:
I will try to take more pics when I can.
Thanks to all who are following!!!:tiphat:

My camera sucks

My other room is finished with a staggered harvest.
The lemon cake was the last one coming out of there.
Last harvest of this plant was greater than this round.
A good example of how too much stretch is bad!

So that was about week 4 of flower.
Anyone have comments or criticism for me.
The clones were really stressed at the beginning of flower and never really recovered.
The mom on the other hand out performed my expectations.
The healthy clone looks good but did not grow up to her potential.

I have already started my next grow so check it out if you have time.
I have not started the new grow thread yet but I will very soon.
Thank you :tiphat:to all who stopped by to see how this one turned out!
I would say it was 50/50 so far...but we will see come harvest time!

Woohoo, an ozone generator! Looks like you've got everything on the other side of the big pond!

PS I've just comment on something so that you know I highly appreciated reading your growth diary :D .

Hey it is my favorite mad scientist 00
Stopped in to harass me again huh?
Well, some of us are not still riding ostriches....LOL
Anyway
The ozone machine is the only way to go....when you have real dank smelling weed, a carbon filter won't last for long.

But the transformer craped out on me...I hope it arrives soon!!
Smells like sour grapes in my house....oh well...good thing I am legal.

I checked out your grow also OO....very different, also extremely interesting.
You are a very unique person to say the least!
And that is what I like about ya!
Thank you for stopping by the grow.:tiphat:

Now Back to the old grow

P1090765.jpg

Not the prettiest roots
But not horrible for no chiller
And it is August and it is as hot as it gets here
My average water temp. is 73 degrees
.

The current grow just has to fatten up.
I will update when things get fat.
All my bucket came out like crap, but I found my problem.


P1090770.jpg

My Ph probe was not broke but the liquid inside was contaminated.

I thought about this...and this is how it happened.
The PH probe must be kept wet, so we put in a storage container..right.
Well I got lazy and was not unscrewing the cap and just pushing it in, under pressure.
So it must have forced the storage fluid into the surround of the probe past the seal.

Needles to say:
It is no wonder my plants were starving....the PH was between 4.5 and 5.2 most times.
This was determined by checking my new probe side by side with the old one.
Funny thing too.....the old one calibrated fine, but must have drifted with time.

But the good news is Mom is doing well and taking up all the free space she can!
This shows a distinct advantage soil has over hydro....microbes do wonderful things.
This is proof, to me any anyhow!
