Good upgrades on the room, PC. I especially like the wireless webcam addition. Let us know how thats working and how helpful that is for you (does it reduce the number of visits you have to make, or is it just more for peace of mind?).

:smokeit:great folks, decided to scrap the camera deal, won't/don't really need it...i've also been adding 3 plants in this flower room every week. btw, this grow is at my summer place which is about 100 miles away from my house.... I have to bring chicagoland tap water with me b/c the water at my summer place sux big time and it will never work with my method of growing...Hope this helps.:dunno:


:tongue:


left pix are the 1st. 6 plants that were put in on 2.1.10...right pix is whole garden...

Ps, the fan just fell on the middle bucket at the end and snapped the stem....had to cut the plant in half and put the broken half in my cloner.:booked:

Solid growth on the plants that went in on 2/1. Looking good and bushy and no nute burn from what i can tell.

Sorry to hear about the fan snapping a plant. At least you made it into a clone. When life gives you lemons....

Too bad about the webcam. Woulda been nice if you could have updated pics on icmag through the webcam, but obviously the picture quality wouldnt be there. Have you thought about putting a digital cam on a tripod and controlling that remotely, if possible?

Whoo-hoo, look at that nice clean mylar! Do you use any sprays on your plants? I do (neem oil, usually), and I'd probably dirty up those walls quick.
Everything still looks great. Are they on 24-0 light cycle? When will you switch to 12/12?

Looks like youre going to pull some nice harvests from the old room before its all said and done.
The growth in the bubble buckets is impressive. Thats hydro for you.

Interesting use of the shop lights for side lighting. Do you think it'll help make those bottom popcorn buds more cola-like? Have you used it before? I suppose youre trying to do the same thing that the phototron does, with the flouro's all around, not as complete coverage obviously but the setup looks nice.

Holy crap the under lighting looks sweet I was thinking of doing something like that years ago. I split a phototron 10 years ago and never had much luck with it compared to the standard lights and drip but saw in some other threads what you have done and may what to go get it from my buddies garage again.

Are brew and grows prices ok for nutes? I was going to pick up a bunch of gh to try the lucas formula because that looks cost effective so maybe i might have enough left over to order real seeds.

I also have a local water question. It seems my cheapass cf ecostick does not register tap water ec so it seems like it is real clean because if I mix some shit up it lands on the money to what it says it is supposed to be ml to gallon rates to ppm of the res. Do you know what the ppm of chi tap is? less then 200 and my meter is not even turning on

Chicago-area tap water is from Lake Michigan and is very clean, less than 200 ppm. It is chlorinated.

Nice shots of the French Blockhead. You can almost see the color of the trichs. Do you have a DSLR and macro lens? Ive been pondering a camera upgrade, not just for trich shots...

I figured it was clean with it not even reading enough of something to auto turn on the meter but was also wondering if it was chloramine or chlorine. I have been bubbling any water I use for 1/2 a day or so then mixy mixy I hope that is fine

Have you guys ever needed to add any cal mag or other stuff to correct non ph related deficiencies?
