yesterday marked exactly a week since ive added the dolomite lime. my runoff rangd from 5.8-6.0 so i added a little more lime, hopefully that should do the trick. I also gave them a veg feeding.
 
I must admit, so far the girls that got their veg feeding yesterday are looking stupendous! When i woke up this morning, they all were absolutely thriving at attention toward the light. Even the dinafem WW that has been falling apart on me is looking great. So, good news i guess, just hope it stays that way! (knock, knock!) haha :booya:
 
ok, lowered the light. im at 2 ft now. Im not sure im gonna go much lower, for if i do, the heat coming from the reflector will be a little much for the canopy top. Im really beside myself at how much growth has exploded on my auto's over the past few days..did my weekly DIY co2 generators, hook'd them up to each plant individually, so i got a chance to inspect them, gosh branching out left and right, just exploding. If i wouldve only known about the darn PH soil...oh well! One things for sure, my next grow is gonna be off the hook~ :dance:
 
Glad to hear you're getting things sorted and the plants are responding well.
 
Thanks muddy, yeah now that ive left my stress on the little things behind me, everything seems to be going in the right direction. Some of the leaves look bad, but im just rolling with the punches. Trial and error. Besides, from what i can see, its the same leaves, in other words, all new growth looks real healthy. Ill update some pics in a couple days or so. I measured my distance from my plant tops to the 1000 watt HPS, and im at exactly 22 inches. Ill leave it there for a bit. :smokeit:
 
funny that i said that about leaving it at 22" yesterday, cuz i measured this morning and my baby grew over an inch since then. its been less than a day, and she's exploding with growth at this point. 20 3/4" from the light now. Bud sites everywhere. out of the 3 akr's that i planted, two of them are just exploding, im not sure whats going on with the other one, but its a runt. it still looks real healthy, just alot smaller. pics to come for sure, probably tomorrow. but im lovin' it! I think im gonna get depressed when it comes time to cut these babies down~haha. :smokeit: and squid: where u been? havent seen u much!
 
Did you miss my accident report post, dude? Go find it on my page. Shit sucks.

when looking at these pics, keep in mind that i left about 4 inches or so at the top of the pot for reflection on the seedlings. so add about 4 inches to this plant. in retrospect, i shouldnt have done that, but it sounded good when i started. im measuring at about 14 inches from soil to top bud, but man are they getting bushy!
 
just checked on my babies or shall i finally say "girls" now, and man oh man, they grew another inch. gosh, i had my HPS 2ft exactly from my highest flower site 3 days ago, maybe 4, and now im down to 19"..damn! id better keep a close eye on these girls, this has the makings of a great grow right now, and i dont wanna mess it up by burning the tops of my canopy from carelessness..ill check in and say whats up tomorrow..g*nite afn!
