[Mile Hi Dave]

Ok...Here is what I have:

24 pot Cap Ebb & Gro System (Actually, I have 2)
12 White Widows
9 Killa Kush
2 Blue Cheese
1 Super Lemon Haze

Room size is 8x14x8 tall

These girls went into flower on St Patty's Day and the following pics were taken yesterday.











....and ain't this the truth???


Any and all advice is appreciated. I am also 4 weeks into flower on a 10 pot soil grow and will be posting some bud porn there.

[Mile Hi Dave]

ill be watchin this one!

[rmccinc719]

looking good so far. how long did you veg for?

[Mile Hi Dave]

Veg was 4 weeks...I had very small clones that took a week before they did anything in the system. The WW, nearest the "fixed" wall, are all about 20-24". The Kali Kush are all above 2 ft and the Blue Cheese are over 2 ft, almost 30" in fact. The SLH, was a tiny girl that I LST'd and she is around 16". Speaking of LST, Most of the girls have been manipulated in one way or another. I am heading to the garden now, as we have some more cold weather coming in and I need to make sure the heat will be on after lights out. I will have updated pics as well as pics of the complete setup from early on. I am just trying to figure out how to post it and get everyone caught up without making this thread too long...

Can anyone tell me how to put up an avatar that is not on the very, very tiny list? I see folks with avatars that are not on the pre-defined list.

Hi Dave, about the custom avatar, I think you have to have 50+ posts, but for now you can put it in your signature line until you have 50+ posts.

Those are those pre built ebb n grow buckets that are like five bills for an eight pack right? I've just started looking at them. How much air/root space is between the bottom of the first bucket and the bottom of the second? I'm guessing 2-3 inches?

Good job, those are some very healthy plants. Are you running a chiller atm?

[Mile Hi Dave]

Ok, I have some updates and I want to give you folks a better idea of my setup. I figure pics would answer most questions.

The room is 8ft wide x 14ft long and has 8ft ceilings. I am using 3 1000w HPS during flower. I have three 3ft parabolics. For fresh air, I have a fan the blows 1370cfm into the room and the same blowing out. At this time I have no issues with temp (70-75 lites on/off) humidity is a small issue as we usually are pretty dry here...just been wet lately so I have been right at 50-60%. I am using AN Connesseur nutes and I just ordered the new "PH Balancing" from them...gotta try em! So the following pictorial is to get you caught up to today...feel free to ask questions/make suggestions, I as I am always willing to teach/learn something new.

Here's the res...notice I have it outside the grow room





This is the room, where the lines from the res come in. The lights have 4ft parabolic reflectors





The other end of the room, notice how I have the cords from the lights going out of the room.





The ballasts opposite the walls





The other half of the room, planning to create veg/area here




Today's stats:

PH - 6.2
Res Temp - 65
Room Temp - 72, RH 30
Using DutchMaster Gold and everything is at 400PPM, using only have strength for this week, then upping it to full doses.

Ok, here are a few White widows, these seem to have had issues with transplant. Maybe the fact that I gave no nutes for the first few days contributed.









Now these White Widows seem to have made it ok.






Blue Cheese - Spindley Fuckers







Super Lemon Haze - Kinda Spindly as well




And last, but not least...Killa Kush
Droopy due to lack of nutrients

Ok, went for my daily "therapy" session and, while LSTing, I found a few spider mites! :angryfire: Seemed to be confined to the White Widows, so I am assuming I got my gardner's pests....grrrrrrrr.

So, I put on my Ninja clothes :rambo: and stormed in with a Pyrithium Bomb!!



Bomb was for 3000sq ft, so I know them bastards should die!!!!

Now...the few plants I was able to start LSTing...what do you think?











So, now I wait 24 hrs!!

Feb 29

Now for some shots of the girls...they are really taking off! I also did a lil more LSTing










Gotta Luv this Blue Cheese...really reaching



Here is one LST'd








Ok, as you can see, the taller ones are right at 1 ft...I am hoping to get to 2ft in the next week to 10 days...anything taller would be a bonus!!!

So CalMAg has helped imensely...take a look!

Flushing the girls really worked well!!! They grew a few inches and really are looking ALOT better!!! What was really strange was that when I started flushing 2 days ago, I started with Ph'd water at 5.8 and around 175 PPM from the tap. When I checked it today...the PH had risen to 6.8 and the PPM had gone to 640? Where did that all come from? Was this locked up in the plant and then released into the water? Anyhow, I started them on 1/4 strength nutes and I wanna watch them for a week, I think, then I will probably flower them. They are all 16" and taller up to right at 2 ft. The 2 footer is a Blue Cheese and it grew 3.5 inches in the last 2 days.

Ok...now you are caught up to today. I bet this string is too long, so I will show you todays pics....man I sure do love this Ebb & Gro!!
