Hey net, not much besides working to get this room where I dont need to do shit besides mix up nutrients once a week. Yeah I wish I would have heard that information a little sooner, I added calmag to bump up the EC instead of veg bloom.
Im sure as long as it is shaped the same way as the 25gal ie short but fatter. That stand doesnt leave much head room so not sure how much taller I could go only inches inbetween the top of the 25 gal rez and ducting from a furnace.
Thanks medmaker, me too

Sure jang, I tried typing this all out last night but I was way to drunk we went to the Kenny Chesney Tim McGraw concert what a blast, back to business tho.
For 100%germination on 11 black rose seeds and 3 black rhino seeds I did as follows. Dunk small rock wool cubes in 1/4 strength clonex clone solution that's ph to 5.6. Shake off excess solution out the cube place bean inside cube and put in a tray with a heating mat set to 80 degrees sometime I take mat away after a few days. After the beans sprout and root is long enough out the bottom of cube and the sprout is big enough out the top of cube I split to rockwell cube and remove the seedling. I then place it into a neoprene insert and into the ezcloner for a speedy veg. Inside the cloner is 1/4 strength clonex clone solution phed to 5.6. I add nutrients to cloner when needed after a week or maybe longer...

Think I might switch the blumats out for a timed top feed, keep having run aways, cones are drying out. I need to learn more before I flower a big run best to switch it out before I flip the lights b/c its gonna be a jungle in there after stetch.
Any ideas?

Ok so Im using the same mainfold loops as I was for the blumats but instead of an elevated rez Im using 2 small pumps, these pumps turn on for 1 minute twice while lights are on atm, gonna be bumping them up to 3 times very soon and prolly get up to be 4 or 5 well into flower. The plants are getting pretty big.
I did notice there were quite a few male flowers growing on some of the black rose in flower. they are into week 4 of flower and im quite concerned I will get a seeded crop. I have had male flowers grow on predominatly female buds before and never found a seed, we talking lbs of bud and no seeds but the number of male flowers on these black rose have me nervous. either way seeds or no seeds its taking energy away from my big purple budz. I think its a small light leak that is causing these male flowers? Im gonna seal the door better and ride it out, hope it was caused by stress, becuase if its genetic I would be screwed my big room is full of black rose!
I will take pics soon.....

Gotta be a light leak Bro.....Not once ever did any of my Black Rose pheno`s exhibit hermi tendencies.....
The Chem D`s were said to spit nanners but I never saw any on them either.....
Environment`s everything abd takes care of a lotta shit folks don`t realize , but light leaks never let the bitches fully sleep and causes survival mode to start spittin male pollen sacks/nanners to proliferate the species and keep the next crop goin.....
In an outdoor kinda wild landrace situation from their beginnings that is ....
My mex skunk hybrid I ran for many many yrs usedta spit nanners EVERY run in late bloomage , but they were minimal and on the bottom limbs so I never worried too much cuz they were mostly sterile and never fully developed unless I let the plants go waaaay past my rotations of 9 weeks with her.....anyways Ismoke.....
Keep pickin them nanners and hope for the best.....and....light seal yer room ......
Good luck....DHF....

I sealed the door, the weather strip went bad and I needed to add those old window lathches that door is light proof now! Still bummed tho.....
On a positive note I will be flipping the lights monday on 5400W. 80% of the plants are taller then 24in from top of coco to top of plant. I still need to take clones before monday so thats what Im waiting for before flipping. That will equal out to be 42 days of veg out of the cloner. Hope for only 8 weeks of flower to make it a 14 week crop. Its a couple weeks longer then expected but its my fault. I went on vacation for a couple days literally 2 days after I first installed the blumats. from then on the plants suffered b/c I was behind in dialing in the cones. Either way I should be good to just sit back and mix a rez every once in awhile and make sure the plants have enough waterings a day. Im glad I had 3 gallon pots this run because of the long veg but I feel like a little smaller pot and I could be feeding more times per day and be getting faster growth. I need to take some pics of the roots they are amazing they look like a think fuzzy spider web right under the open end of the drip line.
