I should of mentioned that the CC, BD#2, and LBA, and Onyx 3 have started to flower! Man my clostet with be a SoG soon. I took this pick from the side to better show the green. This is my best grow thus far. The RRF is shooting out flowers like mad with the AA right behind it!

Thanks man I'm having a lot of fun with this grow. My last grow was OK. My humidity was ~20-25%, temps were a bit high 80-86F, and my leaves were thin. Added a nice humidifier and now my humidity is 40-55%, my temps ~65-78F, and my leaves have a lot of weight to them. It also got rid of the need for a fan and since it's got a humistat it doesn't blow all the time. Since it's in he corner and shooting straight up it seems to pass air over the plants equally and gently. Of all the $$ I've spent on this hobby, the $100 I spent on the humidifier is one of the top 5 investments so far (and by far the cheapest on the list).

Now I just have to figure out how to work on an autofill for it w/o flooding my tent lol. Thinking of a gravity siphon out of my water storage barrel and through one of the top opening. I'm thinking if there's enough resistance in the tank it'll stop. Anyone have any suggestions?

Now that some of my other plants are getting about the same size my RRF/AA were on the 1st and flowering. I'm really interested to see if they end up growing as rapid.

Who'd a thought my venture into a solution that fits with my busy work schedule would turn into a winner! I got the M3 because it's nutes are timed release and it's got a crapton of peat moss so it holds a lot of water. I'm currently watering once a week vs 3x a week w/ the roots 707 I was using before and I don't have to worry about burning my plants. Stupid simple grow.

Talking about saving time watering.. I seem to be replacing that with daily pics

The Foo-

Are you enjoying the new found freedoms of Prop 203? Noticed you were a fellow AZ grower. Let me know how the RRf turns out. Its under consideration for one of the strains I will grownext. Got 5 Afghan Kush Ryders about 37 days old.

Yea man. Tis good to grow my own stuff. You never know what you get nor do you get what you want black market.

The last RRF I grew only got ~3 inches but it was all bud. I recently went to a weed tasting party (all growers bringing their samples) and I brought a few grams off that. It's funny how snobby people get with auto flowers. Anyhow I was up first and as everyone fired up thinking it'd be crap (if they just looked it they'd see it was the frostiest of the bunch ) and man instantly they were red eyed and fucked. lol

The biggest snob turned to me after one hit and asked me to tell him more about autos and the benefits. Every grower there said they want to try autos now. If you're growing it then you'll like it. It's the perfect morning smoke to
get you going for sure.

On the weed tasting note. I recommend doing this often. It's a crazy roller coaster ride for sure lol. Keep it small though. We had 7 growers, the host and his wife. It was perfect. We did 9 strains in roughly 3 hours.

I thought it'd be neat to show the coverage of the different kinds of lights. Not to mention the CFL's don't bleed out the camera so it's easier to see detail.

The buds are forming well so i decided to start logging them too.

An update. I moved around the lights and the cable on my 180w led broke and it fell right between 4 plants but only hitting the BD#2 It crumbled the top and I got on it and tried to tape it. It was broken in 4 places The next day it checked on my progress and anything above the 2nd tape line was almost dead . So it's topped right at a branch line and it doesn't seem to be splitting or bushing out from what are now the top 2 branches This babe was growing like mad too. She seemed like she'd be worthy of the Big Devil name!

With xmas gifts I haven't been able to pick up the 2nd LED panel I want so I went back to my roots and pulled my old home depot lighting kit (4x 68w 2700k CFL on cheap flood mounts) to fill some of the light around the front of the grow area.

So now my lighting is:
2 x 200w 6000k CFL (400w)
4 x 68w 2700k CFL (272w)
1 x 180w 5-band LED UFO (R: 660nm, 620nm (Epistar) B: 460nm(Cree), 440nm(Epistar) IR: 715nm(Cree))
1 x 450w 7-band LED Panel (R: 660nm, 620nm (Epistar) B: 460nm(Cree), 440nm(Epistar) IR: 715nm(Cree) W: 3000k, 7000k (Cree))

630w LED (new 450 panel has newer brighter diodes ~1.5x the lumen output)
672W CLF

I also moved the ladies that are flowering to one side and concentrated the 4 new CLF, the 450w led panel and the 180w UFO LED on one side and moved the 2 200w 6000k CLF to the other side and lowered them to focus on the ladies not flowing yet (1xOnyx, 1xMi5, 1xBJ).

I pulled one Mi5 male from the room and put him in a pollen closet I use in an unused room that doesn't share vents with the rest of the house.

I'm really happy with the progress and low maintenance this grow has become. I rigged up a pump and a timer to automatically fill the res in my humidifier once an hour from my main res tank and the soil and plants love one big deep watering a week. They droop for about 12 hours and then perk up

ATM I'm doing 1TSP of Carboload, 2 TSP of B-52, 2 TSP of Bio heaven and 2 TSP of Root Juice (through first week of flower and all veg) and just started TopMaxx for flowering. Also 2TSP per gallon. For 2 waterings (2 weeks) then on the 3rd week it's 2 TSP of carboload and water. Water is PH'd 6.4-6.6 at watering.
