Hey all,
Took a crappy cell pic,kind of hard to see but you can see these LVPK and lookin a whole lot better
This 1 is lookin the absolute best out of the 4 though,the other 3 are lookin better than before but are not near this one. They all 4 have multible roots in the water so things ahould start pickin up here in this next week I'm freakin stoked.
I also should be able to get some roots excel next week,I'm stoked to try that stuff after all the hype.
My bloom tent is taking aff too,its been 2 weeks since I started 12/12 with a 600 in a bat wing.
The black domina Is the furthest along,its a pretty large plant and should turn out fatty,don't know how it is I know it grows fatty nugs that I'll have to tie up.
The sourband is lookin sick also,looks like she would be a awesome scrog plant. Depending on how she is I'd like to try her hydro next run cuz I love me some sour D.
The trainwreck is a pretty bush bitch,I hope to not have any PM probs with her,iv always had PM problems with all the TW's iv had or gotten from people.
The small LVPK I have in there is still kind of light green so I don't expect any sort of impressive harvest off of her.
And the kush/haze is lookin nice too,I wish I could share her to see exactly what she is,but I love this plant it always grows nice and thick and easy to prune/trim.
All the gals in the tent last got a feeding of conni A&B and big bud,will probably get some bud candy for em in the next couple weeks to helpsweeten em up then hit em with overdrive towards the end weeks then a 2 week flush.

Fuckin A Tom! At this rate we should be back on track fully in a week or so. I'm so excited.
So have you ever used smart pots? How big could I let some grow in 3 gallon of coco?
They have been in there a while and they went from cloner to 3gallon of coco,they are about a foot high now but I'm sure the coco is engulfed in roots by now,should I have to go bigger if I want a 4-5 foot tree?
So how big of tree can I grow in a 3 gallon smartpot of coco? Should I go 5-10 to get a nice size tree?
Hey yall!
The 4 lvpk are rockin along now,here's a pic of the best one
They all have a handful of roots in the water and oh my are they white and nice looking,I can't wait to see what the roots excel does to em.
So far they have been on sensi grow A&B,calmag,and very diluted zone and 1ml AN PH down(shits strong) set to 400ppm and 5.8-5.7 PH they're all perky and green as can be,so how much longer should I veg from here?
Should I just base veg off of size and progress iv been told 4 weeks max for any strain in rdwc but I think they could go another 5-6 myself,especially since I'm gonna go with BG's advice and veg em to 8-10" then Top 'N Crop then veg til 18-20" then bloom for 5days then drop a screen on em.
That should also give the coco/smart pots to get larg too?
Also BG,how fast do roots really grow with that roots excel?
Could it fill the 5gal bucket too fast and cut veg short?
Anywho that's all for now,til next time.
Keep it green.

Tokk a measurment today and they all are over 5" the biggest one being about 6-7".
Sunday I flushed the system and refilled with fresh R/O and nutes and aquashield too,I'm ditching the zone.
They are at 390-400ppm and 5.7-5.8PH and lookin happy as can be,they actually look like they will be ready for a stronger dose soon. As soon as I can find my camera I'll snap some better pix and load em up but for now that's all folks.

So as you can see
They are growing like crazy! That's a henry weinhards root beer bottle behind one of the lvpk's.
I switched up my whole lighting situation lastnight too.
The bloom tent was getting cramped so I decided to manually put em in the tent for the 12hrs or darkness and throw the 600hps over the 4 lvpk's and put the 400hps next to it where the smaller gals in 3gal SP are under then 2K hps hung next to that that are
On a flip box set to 2hrs on 2hrs off during the 24hr cycle.
Its pretty effin bright in here but I can't wait til I can get 4-6k in here in the next few months.

Thanks HS,I can't wait to have some lvpk trees already.
They're growing so fast. So what do you recommend as for a plan? I do have that 4x4 scrog screen.

Hey guys and gals, got a little root porn for ya
Look at the set of balls (root balls!) This bitch grew
Whitest roots I've ever seen! Gotta love aquashield. Got em on 360 ppm and 5.6ph,everything is staying pretty stable and the leaves are huge, the shortest one is 9.5 inches and the tallest is 10.5 inches.
I topped them on the 31st just once on the very tip top I'm gonna wait a couple weeks til there about 17 inches our so then pinch and crop all the main branches over then let em re coop for another 2 weeks outre so then de foliate some what heavy then flip em 2 days after and step back.
Oh also let me know how the pix are I'm using my new phone that claims its a 8 mega pixel

Looking real nice and very healthy
You can start pulling off the really big fans. Open it up a little bit and it will bush out even faster. Your not gonna be able to let them grow another 4 weeks dude they will be way to big. You got the roots the plants are gonna take off now. Probably 2 weeks dude and your gonna want to flip em. They stretch a lot in bloom.
Lookin good
