Day 30, 7 days after switching to 11/13

some minor deficencies due to unstable PH of the solution kept in the autopot container (it was rising 0.4 - 0.5 per 24 hours), not anymore, i figured it out how to make it stable.

Edit:

Forgot to mention: I've switched to 9L / per min air pump, 36L / per min was way too strong, causing too much PH fluctuation in the root zone.

Nice airpot grow! Why u dont use both lights?

[fazor]

Thank you guys.

One of the reasons for buying LED was keeping the electricity usage low to not make any suspicions, that's why i won't use both lights.

Anyway LED caused higher humidity, and this caused mold... that forced me to cut off about 10-15% of the flowers, and harvest in next few days, about 10 days before planned date. I will post some pictures later.

For The Next Grow im definately buying dehumidifier.

Hello, the grow finished with about 200g dry stuff, yield should be higher but about 30% of the flowers has been cut out before harvest due to mold.

Crimea blue is a very productive and quick flowering strain with strong indica effect and some tone of euphoric sativa.

looks very very nice
do you used pebbles or perlite for the ground of each pot? Cause the manual says that you should cover the ground of each pot with 4-10 cm pebbles or perlite... i havent done it but had moisture problems during my grow.
