Hey there ICMaggers thought I'd let you guys have a look at my journey to some buds. The strain is GHS White Rhino(clones) and is the second time I've grown it.
Here's a list of my equipment:
400w Sunmaster HPS with an Adjust-A-Wing shade
4 inch passive intake
6 inch exhaust
Carbon filter
12 inch fan
2x 0.5Litre dehumidifiers
50lpm air pump with 12inch airstones
3x 25Litre tubs with 6 inch net pots( 3 plants per tub)

The space is 1.5m x .9m x 1.3m high and the Scrog is 1.2m x .6m.
I'm using General Hydroponics 3 part Flora with silica, Zone, Liquid KoolBloom. With a pH of 5.8 and EC 1.4. Environment is 19-25 degrees Celcius and 45-60% RH. I had a potassium deficiency about 10 days ago due to the RH being down to 30% but have bounced back now and doing well
This is only my fourth grow so any advice or help when needed would be much appreciated. So yeah not to exciting at the momment but anways here I am @ day5.

Hey Benny bout time you had a thread, yer I know im late getting here too.

Things will pick up in here once some bud pics start popping up. How often you going to update the pics btw?

[benjuanman]

Weekly updates for this show bro. I know not much happens the first 21 days but its more for my own notes and comparisons. Ive got a couple of plants under my 1k as well so will chuck up picks of them when I see fit. After this cycles done I'm going to be using a 3x1.5.2m tent with a DIY undercurrent setup with 20litre buckets. Still dont know if I will go vert with the tent or not. Thnx for dropping by man the replies always help with the self esteem. Peace out

[westg]

I do the same bro from scratch, what i meant was peeps will pop in more once the bud pics start happening, I know this from my threads too.

At the start


Then when buds start appearing

Hi everybody another update to have a look at. Not a great deal is happening yet, mainly just the pistils shooting out and budsites popping up. The rooms temps are sitting between 21 and 28 degrees celcius. Humidity is still moving between 35-55% and will only get drier as it gets more like the typical Aussie summer weather. pH relatively stable ranging from 5.5-5.9 and EC 1.6-1.8 I'm definately noticing a difference the silica is doing to rigidness of the plants this time. So much more sturdy and healthy appearing. I'm not much of a photographer and the room is in a tight spot so cant get many views anyways. Peace

really healthy green plants, look'n jungle there grower!!!
k+

[benjuanman]

thnx 4 dropping in Killer, and yeah the girls r lookin even healthier now. So they're at day 21 of 12/12 and doing well, except one clone which I pulled a couple of days ago as her roots didn't develop properly and stunted her. Temps are still sittin at 21-28 degrees but RH is 37-62%. The humidity has gone up due to one of the dehumidifiers shittin itself, so the room is relying on the one. The pH is still 5.5-5.9 and EC 1.6-1.8, I just do water addbacks to keep it within the right range. Well heres the pics so hope enjoy



Here's some root porn for u guys with devious fetishes lol
