The morning inspection went well today. The temp is running from 75 to 80 degrees and the humidity is right at 57%.
I have zero nutrients in the water currently. Trying to flush a little from the soil, lush, before I start adding anything.
Lights are set at 20 inches and turned up to 80%. Will be adding co2 and maxing the lights this weekend.
Transplanted all of the clones into bigger pots today. They are looking real good. The mother plants are bushing out and getting ready to start stretching. Yay!
Iām really excited about this grow. I was pretty disappointed in the beginning. It seemed like everything was working against me.
Things are looking great now.

Trimmed lower leaves that had damage from too much nutrients. Everything has been flushed down to the 500 ppm level. Girls are looking good. Turned the Spider FarmSF 4000 up to 80% this morning as well.

Moved all the clones in with the big girls today. Had to put some bricks in the flood table to put the pots on. They were floating around when the table was flooded.
Things are looking real good.
Girls are into the stretch. They have grown quite a few inches in the past few days. They are starting to smell really good.
Gave a buddy some of the clones. I always make more than I need. Better to have too many than not enough.
I helped him set up his tent yesterday. He is pumped up about.

Transplanted and topped 2 Blue Dream clones a few days ago. They are responding with a huge growth spurt.
Removed the lower leaves from the larger plants yesterday. They are looking good.
Checked my Grove bags from my previous grow. Some of them are a bit dry. Trimmed up a few mason jars for long term storage. I put some green leaves from the current grow inside to rehydrate the buds a little.

Iām interested in getting my nutrients to the proper level. Does anyone have any data showing what level is the best?
Iām currently at 400 to 500 PPM. Iām running my lights at 100%. CO2 will be operational by tomorrow.
Got bogged down with work so the co2 hasnāt started yet. I still have to set that up.
Gave away a Blue Dream plant to make more room. I think Iām going to have to give away another. I have somewhat of a jungle now.
Had to super crop all of the girls two days ago. My light is as high as I can go and the girls were starting to get burned.
PH is 6.5, RH 60%, temp is 70 to 75 deg, PPM is at 800. I have two fans blowing air in a circular motion under the canopy. The water pump comes on for 5 min every morning to fill the flood table. I have a small heater set to turn on at 70deg, an air conditioner set for 75 deg, and the largest dehumidifier Wally World sells set at 60%.
Everything is pretty much on autopilot except emptying the dehumidifier every other day. I just pour it in the flood table.
I top the flood table reservoir every week and adjust PPM and PH at that time.
Things are looking great.

Donāt you just hate that?
No room at the inn (or in the tent).
Good growing to you.

Thanks!
Raised the PPM to 1000. Trimmed fan leaves. Got the C02 going. Things are looking great.
Pictures?
Living vicariously while waiting for grow.

Things are progressing well. Had to super crop again. The girls are trying to see how much they can grow.
Attempted to relocate my humidity/temp sensing unit and dropped it in my flood table when it was filling. Yup, itās toast. Iāll get another one when I go to town.
Iāll attempt to get some pics next time I visit my girls.
Been a few days since I flipped the lights. The girls donāt seem to be progressing very fast. Started checking everything to make sure there isnāt a problem. Oops, my bad. I turned the lights down a bit when I was removing the fan leaves and super cropping. I turned them back to max this morning.
Rookie mistake.
Going to perform more super cropping today. The girls are into the light again. I also have to recharge half my poor manās C02 system.
I use 2 liter soda bottles to make them. I pour a cup of sugar into the bottles, fill to 3/4 full with water, and a quick pull on my beer tap. I brew my own beer so the yeast is still alive. It works great.
The bottles start to produce C02 about 24 hours after filling. I screw the tops on lightly which allows the gas to escape slowly. I recharge them once a week. Works great!
Got back from being out of town for 12 days. All I can say is WOW! What a difference from when I left. My flood table was down 10 gallons on water and the nutes were below 500 ppm. Topped off the water level and adjusted the nutes to 1100 ppm. Itās a little higher than I like but it will be at 1000 in a week.
I had to remove more fan leaves and smaller stuff that wasnāt going to produce flower on the underside of the plants. I also had to super crop again. The plants are 5 feet tall and into the lights again. Flowers are starting to stack like crazy. The Godfather OG is outpacing the Blue Dream big time. It looks like Iāll be harvesting the Godfather many weeks before the Blue Dream.
Nice frost forming on the flowers as well.

I had to tie a bunch of buds up today. They were getting heavy enough to start causing issues. A good problem to have. This is the beginning of week 5 in flower.

Did more tying up buds today. Trimmed two bags of leaves and branches that werenāt going to produce buds. Recharged my redneck C02 bottles as well.
Iām getting more excited about this grow everyday.
I had a mix up on strains earlier in my posting. The Blue Dream is the plant that is exploding with the huge buds. The Godfather OG has a lot of small buds. It hasnāt started stacking yet.

Checked on my girls again. Nutās dropped to 800ppm. Raised it back up to 1100. Im dumping my dehumidifier every other day now. The girls are really sucking up the water.
Godfather OG is picking up the pace with buds. They should start stacking in the next week or so.
Blue Dream buds are getting fatter every day. Iām guessing 1 March harvest time. Yay!

Checked nutes and they are right at 1000ppm. Humidity is at 60%. Temp is 70-75deg. Things are right on schedule.
Had to tie more buds up today. A good problem to have.
The Godfather OG is starting to stack in a few places. It will be awhile before I need to tie any of those up.
Blue Dream buds are getting thicker, dense and heavy. Iām pumped for sure.
