New update lady's and gents. Pic #1. Looks like we have a sea creature aboard the vessel lol. We got a reverse FU. My blue mystic #1 seems to be missing most of it's middle finger. Other then the mutant everything seems to be going smooth. They got thier first feeding on Saturday and seemed to like it. They have all grown some tho the big bangs are out growing the Mystics but this I already knew would happen, the Big Bang autos are just a bigger plant growing up to 100 cm while Blue Mystics normally top out around 60 cm. Early on in their lives the Big Bangs got heat stress being to close to the light but there new growth seems ok for now. They are 16 days old today going on 17 and no signs of flowering yet. I have a feeling it should start popping off in the next week so I'll keep yas posted. As of now here's some pics. Topped soil off after I took pics and removed water from leaves.

Welcome and thanks griever. How bout the mutant? Lol

 

[PrezDickie]

that mutant is interesting, will be curious to see if it repeats on any of the other leaves.

Hey Captain, early on you said you bubble your water do you do this just with air or do you use Ozone? wasn't sure why you did... i know people bubble their compost tea but will bubbling the water before giving to the girls help the roots that much?

Oh yeah and consider me subbed!

I pump a fish tank hose and airstone in my water for atleast 24 hours before wartering my plants. It raises the oxygen in the water a lot. Roots love oxygen and oxygenated water encourages fast and healthy root growth. Roots spred out and grow faster covering a larger area. This allows the plant to suck up more water and more nutes for faster and healthier top growth. The better the roots, the better the plant. It all starts below the soil. I'm sure if you
Do some searching on here you should be able to find out some info. I believe there's quite a few people on here that oxygenate their water

There's actually a picture on page 1. I believe it's the first pic. I have a gallon with the first nute feeding for my plants being bubbled.

Welcome Jim. How are your girls doing? I'm getting ready to go pay mine a visit now. I'll let yas know if anything interesting is going on. Haven't seen them since yesterday.

Well we got good news!! The runt. My smallest Blue Mystic has pistils. My first to show pre flowers is the littlest one of all. She's only about 4-5 inches tall but she has real tight node spacing and is pretty bushy for how small she is. I couldn't get a picture. They are really small and so is she so it's hard for me to get my phone in there and hold her leaves up. I'll attempt to get one tomorrow but I am 100% positive she is shooting her hairs. Looks like the show is about to start getting on the road.

Update time. So the runt blue mystic has shot some more hairs but she remains the only one. Here's a pic. They are all growing about a half inch a day. 2 of the big bangs are just taking off and are a foot tall now. These are going to be some nice yielders. My last big bang run gave me 2 plants that each yielded around 2 oz and these 2 look the same. The blue mystics are staying shorter( as we all know) but are really bushy and filling out nicely. We are on day 18 now and are receiving there 2 nd feeding. Bubbled 0 ppm water, 1/4 strength monster grow 12-7-15 ending finishing at 90ppm run off 6.3. They really seem to be taking to it nicely. Here's some pics guys let ms know what yas think. Peace
