Rate my girls....33 days at 12/12

Two Grapefruit and 1 Easy Bud in the middle.

I think I have a small problem that I haven't quite diagnosed yet. I have always ran at high ppm levels, but pretty much as directed on the bottles of the GH nutes I use (Floranova). I use every other GH product too at specified times and amounts such as Floraliscious, Diamond Nectar, Florasheild, and most recently...Koolbloom. I also run Cal-Mag, Silica Blast, and Hygrozyme. THat's a lot of stuff I know, but I'm careful. I have been battling with heat and slight leaf tip burn over the last few weeks. I began using Silica Blast to help with heat stress management, and Cal-mag for any potential Calcium or magnesium issues due to RO water use. I think I remember reading some leaftip burn is a magnesium defeciency, and some is from heat stress and some from over fertilization. ALso......too much co2 from a co2 setup can cause death to plants.

The leaves on some parts of the plants look a bit sick, although The overall yield looks like it's going to be excellent considering the space I have to grow in, and the bumps in the road I hit along the way.

I'm not sure if I have been over-doing it a bit with nutes and supplements, or if maybe I use too much Co2. I use a constant "drip emitter" Co2 setup where Co2 is always circulating in the growroom, but with lots of ventilation to clear it out. I have taken measurements here and there of Co2 levels near the fan it blows out of. I've taken measurements averaging about 1200 PPM of Co2 near the fan.

ANyway,,,her'e some pics!!!!!!!

Question that's what I'm looking for

Very nice grow area. Been trying to get those kind of results for more than a year. If you don't mind, what size is the room with the mylar on the walls? how many watts over head, and are those flo's on the ground? Any info would really help me out alot!

Awsome man for 33 days 12/12. Yes please tell use more about your setup. I would have to learn alot about all your GH additives. I'm going to start with GH on my next grow, wish I could add c02 but the wifes complaining about the electric bill and dared me to order beans off the net. Of coarse I just got some dutch passion orange bud. It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission. LOL. I don't see any real sick stuff we all probably get a little nute burn but they look awsome.

Man I hope they will be double this like you said, but they really only have 2 weeks to go so they might get there I hope. I'm really trying to bust them wide open though. Strict regimen here. They can't take any more nutes. I'm on "autopilot" from here.

It's a small cabinet. About 33 inches wide by 21 inches deep and obout 36 inches of height from the top of the ebb and flow system. I run a 250W HPS from above and I hang a 96W T-5 fluoro on the wall for side lighting. For such a small area, heat is an issue especially without enhanced ventilation. I use a totally commercial published "recipe" of nutrients all made by General Hydroponics. I use seeds only (no clones or cuttings) and only female seeds. I don't have the room to grow males and there's easy availability of female or feminised seeds. I always pick the high yielder strains for big growth. AK-47 is killer and tolerant to growing mishaps Grapefruit is huge too. More later......

I have no idea where to get seeds. I would love to start from seed. Can you email me a reputeable place where i too can get some seeds? puff4twenty_now at yahoo dot com. I've tried getting them through the club i'm with but they either have some when you go or they don't. Just my luck they don't have any when i go and when they do have some they aren't feminized. Not much selection either. Hit me up on an email stormcooker. Yeah sorry bout the scuffle too. The way your girls are going, thats where i want to be on my next grow. HAPPY GROWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!1

just got my next batch of seeds in mail today. 6-7 business days from UK to NY. Paid by credit card. I'm not afraid to import a 10-pack here and there.

Special thanks to FHydro for helping me with this decision. His results of these seeds were decision enough for me.

her's more. the leaVES that look the worst are directly under the co2 supply. I'm wondering if I'm overdoing it with that co2. It's so hard to measure since I have constant ventilation with constant drip co2. It could be nute burn too so I',ve backed off on my ppm's. I'm wondering if for my setup this is as good as it gets. I think I'm going to yield more than my last crop of AK-47 though. Those two big colas are going to weigh about 2-3 ounces each maybe more.
