Indoor Hot soil grow.

Thanks guys. Was not perfect because the whole set up was new but turned out ok. Will be better next time. Did not expect plant to get so large so next time I am growing in a larger pot which will fix mist problems I had with the grow. My purple M-80 will be getting better as my seeds are F2 now. I got a crap load of seeds out of the plant the other day. My purple M-80 produced probably 3X more seeds than the Purple Kush did.
 
Any one know why my leafs on the top are pointing up? I don't have a mag problem, the light is a 600W at about 18-20" from plant and my PH run off is 6.6 as of now. I don't have a working PPM meter so it could be over fed still as I only flushed with 2 gallons of water and it is in a 2 gallon pot. I have not had any significant burning or anything. I am wondering if it is my PH up as I am using potassium silicate and I have to use a lot to raise my nutes. I have to use 1-1 when feeding with tiger bloom.
Just curious-did you ever get the fan that you mentioned in one of your earlier posts in this thread. I used to run with no fans and also had leaves pointing up. Almost like the plant was trying to transpire. I have a lot of air movement now and haven't seen this condition since, BTW Nice Plant!
 
Yes I got my fan and my temps are low. I was running my room on the low side, not sure how cold the room is because I don't have a thermometer but it has to be in the high 60s. The plants are not getting very hot either. I did however have the light as close as 1 foot and light bleached the top leafs and this might have had something to do with it also. The leafs temps were not high but it might have been a stress thing. They might have pointed up to keep from getting direct light from it being too close. I moved the light up a little later in the grow and I think it fixed things. The leafs never went back down but no more pointed up after I moved the light. I am use to growing under T5 were my plants can touch the light and wanted to see how close I could get it. With the cool tube I could almost touch the plants with out burning them as long as my fan is also on in the room throwing a light breeze on the plants to cool them. I think about 2 foot away is were the magic is with this light though.
 
So I have not weighted it yet and will not tell it is cured fully but I think it is around 3-4 ounces from 1 plant. Organic " or mostly " as my nutes have some non organic preservatives and harvested at day 70 from seed. It finished fast and smells pretty good, sweet and skunky. I over fed during the grow for sure and had nute lock out due to high salt build up but still had a good harvest. Next grow I have going is full organic but it is not auto. Will be back with weight and a smoke report from the wife in a few weeks :) I could have done full organic with no feeding and will next time if I had larger pot. I now have 10 gallon pots for this purpose.

Well the weight is on the lighter side I have 2 ounce and 22 gram. I think in the hands of a better grower this strain could have done 3-4 ounce. Smell is generic to me. Smells like a lot of other stuff I have grown. Skunky, sweet and fruity but not unique or any thing. I have 4 seeds left but will probably just save them for my out door crop in the spring because I know there fem and will allow me to grow more plants with in my limit. Will not be used for breeding with later. Did finish fast though as I think it was only 70 days from seed. It screwed up my plans to flush as I was expecting to go another week but it finished faster than I expected. So the goods so far are #1 fast, #2 good harvest ( I had some problems with over feeding and PH and still got almost 3 ounces) and as far as the bads there were not really any except that I have a few other strains I like better. Will see what the wife has to say when she smokes it later.
 
So the smoke report came back awesome on this strain. My wife says it is the best auto I have done yet. She says it is the best smoke I have done yet photo or auto. Have also had a few medical friends say it was awesome. You never know how good something is tell it is dried and cured. The pic is a bud shot of course and about 22 ounce I have in a container. I ran out of mason jars :( I don't normally store it in plastic but this time had too. Still have 4 seeds of this left and the wife wants more so I guess I will be growing some more for her in the future. Might have also been good due to me switching the way I grow. Every thing from the soil to the type of light I am using is new to me. Loving the 600W cool tube and new soil.
