Nice, plants look happy, I like the watering system.. hand watering big plants in little 3 gallons is definitely a bitch.

whats the LED like vs HID for veg?

nice simple set-up. :yes:

i would personally do some pruning to make sure the undersides of plants aren't sucking up nutrients and thats where pests like to start living too...

Dolomite lime does wonders

ye the watering system isnt perfect cuz the pots dry at different rates so possible for some to get overwatered but it saves soooo much time.

Those particular LEDs are a bit of a joke cuz that one uses 400w and compared to the 400w CMH the footprint is waaay smaller but I find that it makes tight nodes.I have two of em and they were barely used and one is already broken and one row of LEDs on the one I'm using is out, They wern't cheap either,they were given to me not long after purchase guy didnt like em.

Day 21

Day 21

Like I said once a week ,sorry these pics arnt of higher quality, maybe after I crop out Ill get something decent.

Battleing mites right now dosed the plants with azamax tonight sprayed em and did a soil drench,used pretty much a whole bottle and at 126 dollars hopefully it works.

Also fighting some powdery mildew this strain has pretty low resistance going to get some more oscilating fans in there and start spraying some raw milk see if that does anything also get the dehumidifier running maybe. I shouldnt of let those ones get soo big ,oh well live an learn.

Some of the tops look kinda spindly I dont see the yield being too awesome. On the first run in this room I got close to seven this time I'd say maybe 5.5

had a nasty suprise tonight went to check on stuff and around 10 plants were wilting FUCK I checked last night any everything was fine I should of checked the bigger gals if they were dry big fuckup on my part, and of course when they wilt they lose all stability so they were all falling over causing everything else to lean over fuck what a mess.

So far this has been a what NOT to do growlog overgrown plants ,powdery mildew and the worst fucking mite problem ever and i still have like 4 weeks to go; I go into the room and almost cry the mites are soo bad this would of been a bomb run if not for those fucking mites.I'm gunna have to dump this shit cheap FUCK.

Im taking extreme measures next run to never see a mite again,gonna rip EVERYTHING apart go nuclear on these fucks.My beautiful plants turned to shit by my stupidity and these fucking super mites.

OK end rant

Anyways when a plant wilts like that does it drastically reduce yield? cant be that bad right, right?

Looks killer.

After this grow get your ass down to HD or Lowes and get some 'pond liner'. Lay it down on your floors and have it come up the baseboard 6-8". Staple only to the top of the baseboard.. or if they are nice.. just use some wood to create your perimeter.

Your asking for water damage just relying on tarps.

Been there done that... that scenario is my worst nightmare. I break out heavily when dealing with flowering plants.. trying to re-stabilize an UN-supported crop is a disaster. Go get yourself some blumats and put watering on auto-pilot.

Thanks man everythings looking nice and crystally

Ive debated blumats but at 5 bux a pop thats 600 right there then theres the whole elevated rez huge PITA for me.I do have a watering setup but its shit.

as for the pond liner def a good idea I wish they came in white tho I have white tarps in there now and it reflect the light a little better.water damage yep fucking dealing with that too theres a plywood subfloor in there now thats rotten as fuck cuz the moron who put in the tarps stapled below the water line ROFL

Just an all round pain in the ass now I mean the plants are fine except for the mites and PM LOL If I could afford to Id chop it all now and start over but that just not in the cards

Bongtoke, I have had my plants wilt many times over the years due to watering failure and I grow large plants so I can understand your frustration when they are lying all over the floor and flopping every which way. I have noticed that yield is usually effected only if it's done more than once, or without water for so long that the white hairs start to turn brown. Other than that you should be okay. I have usually got the same yields when forgetting to water, but over once and your asking for trouble.

Nice grow even though all factors seem to be against you on this run. I feel your pain, so just do what you can and look to the future. Good luck!

hey thanks for the reassurances hopefully it doesnt happen again I dont live at the grow so I'm not there to check on it as much as I would like.

Yea partly grower error in the form of laziness LOL I'm pretty sure I got these freakin mites from someone thats had em for years and used EVERY poison know to man and still has em=super mites.I tend to forget that this is one of many many shos Ill have in the future and like you said get thru it and move on.

Thanks
