HOLY SHIT!!
The bucket's down a full gallon and 150 ppm (adjusted for 83 ppm water add) since yesterday!!!
"Bailers Booya"

Something's definitely going on! Guess she liked her "haircut" cuz she's suckin' down the stuff hard! I'm used to little to no nute movement at all! Guess I'll add back 5/10/5 again (Micro/Bloom/Calmag).

Trying to find that defective LED in the Blackstar, but I think Miz Dubya likes the HPS MUCH better! Fixed or not, the LED is going back in as supplemental lighting.

Sorry, no pics today...

Goooooood Evening Campers!

Today Miz Dubya Bush has moved into her new luxury accommodations in the "Lighthouse" in Marty's Wine-yard. Here she can bask in double the sunlight instead of that nasty hole-in-the-wall she used to reside while waiting for her impending "puberty"!

Res change...

UPDATE 3/01/14
Early PM
DAY 79
BLOOM DAY 16
79 DEG 50%
5.9 pH 966 ppm

Res change @ 3/4 nute rate.
3 gal distilled-RO water @ 7 ppm/gal
5 ml Dutch Master Zone
17 ml Micro
34 ml Bloom
10 ml Cal Mag
1 tsp epsom

pH is going nuts again so did a full res change, now that it's all jacked up. Looks like the meters (BOTH!) are "tango-uniform", so there is the pH problem. The yellow cheapos are such pieces of shit. Going for an HM instead cuz Miz Dubya pays the price for cheap shit equipment.

At least with a res change I know what I have without measuring because the process is stable: 3 drops ph down per gallon of water before mixing, Zone, Calmag, epsom, nutes, then 5 more pH down, done. The old manual pH method verified the range.
Lighting is now 2x 400w HPS

Miz Dubya has popped. Flowers popping up all over. The pics don't do it justice and they're from 2 days ago.
Sorry!



Awright, awright, new pics...still can't see much.



Happy now?

(We're DEFINITELY Bushy!)

Add-back:
Water: 1 gal
Start ppm: 737
5 ml Micro
10 ml Bloom

Wow! She's sucking the juice now!Added back a whole gallon! Nute adds are becoming semi daily!
It amazes me how nearly no nutes used until the bloom then off she gows, sucking juice like mad! New blooms popping up all over the place. Took a few leaves off that tucking wasn't going to fix due to the foliage density blocking new tops coming out all over. Mostly inner growth. I'll update this post with pics at 10p CT (45 mins) when the lights go out to try for some natural light shots.

Sorry...crappy phone cam, so just a couple of a side top.

Holy Shit! This stretch keeps up I'm going to have to top or super-crop the main!
:no: NOOOOOOOO!!!!
Man, what a growth spurt. I hope she doesn't do this much longer. No add-back today except 2/3 gallon of water even though she's down 150 ppm in the nutes. Gotta slow down the stretch til she's done and then kick it again as she sets blooms.. I've lowered the lights to try and force a tighter internodal spacing but she's grown like 3" in 2 days, so it may be too late for that! I may also cut the power back to 75% and that would ease the heat and allow a closer placement also. Just don't want a "sunburn"!
