Grow Mediums CoCo flood LED PurpleLights (NLxPurple Kush)

HAHA funny you mention that @Roark I was already thinking of that I figured if i did though i could only run possibly 5 plants. It really depends on how they grow. Like i said each one stretched to well over 3'! I have a few that are closer to 4'

You could do 5 in a 2x4 you can pack a screen with 2. Saves some beans. You kill it I'm sure.

Hehe save some beans..... I only have about 100 left :/ and thats after i gave about half away to the donator of the PK.

Well here it is day 56...... The girls are frosting up nicely! they are starting to pack on weight. I put 4 gals back in the res on day 52 and had to put 8 gallons in today!! I fell like they were not getting the amount of feed that they needed/wanted with the 3 a day feedings. Anyways today i thinned the bigger fan leaves near the top and cut the smaller branches off at the bottom ( should have been done a long time ago, i just hate to get rid of something i know i could use!)
Topped the res back up to 910 PPM @ 5.7ph. Still getting a raising PH almost daily. While i was cutting the branches the flood table kicked on(scared the crap out of me!). I took a solo cup and top pressed them all with the table water just for good measure.
Here are some pics from before the thinning. Cant really tell it has even been thinned though really.

These mars hydro 300w work AWESOME!! I could definitely use 1 more though only because of the size of these girls! I wonder if i should get a reflector series and put it in the middle of them??

 

[Roark]

So far so awesome!
By all means then fill that table.

Thank you Roark ! Day 59! Checked the res and had a PPM increase of about 50 PPM. Went up to about 1010. So i think that the girls are starting to drink more water and less nutes which if my spider senses are correct that they are getting ready to go down for the count :/ Im sad to see them go but cant wait to see them in jars!! Anyways here are some pics of the action as of today!

I have the same issue everytime I grow though. I get explosive growth up to about 2-3 weeks before chop and they kinda just idle. What is the tip/trick/secret to getting the bulk that everyone else has? They are probably about toilet paper roll width. I know that the wider they are the more prone to mold they are. Im just wondering if there is some sort of nutes that im missing or a carb loader or what. The local hydro guy told me after flush for 2-3 days to feed full carb load and they will swell. But i dont want the chemical taste.

Currently im going to have to do a split harvest to get the bottom to gain a little bit. Anyways any advice or should i just ride it out and see what happens? Thanks guys!!

 

[Roark]

You could feed them with a lite solution while finishing to help pull excess nutes out and and p.h the water. You could switch to just ph'd water after a week harvert the top half then lite solution again then water. Full harvest.

 

[Roark]

Just throughing out ideas. Don't know if that'll work. Anyone else?

 

[Roark]

What do those hairs look like what about trichs? Day 59.... could they go longer?

 

[fatcalvin]

Ohh yea deff going longer. I haven't looked at them under the scope yet. I'm thinking at least getting to 70 days then week long flush for the top. Then maybe like you said lite nutes for a week or so. The bottom is starting to fill in better now that I cut some leaves back. I'll get some pics later today
