    So I'm starting this thread as a great place to chill and chat while watching the ladies grow to their maximum potential! I've got a nice little selection I'll be running moving forward. Here is the full list:

    The Seeds

    Pineapple Express
    Northern Lights
    Acapulco Gold
    Purple Haze #1
    Wreckage
    DinaChem
    Kush'N'Cheese

    The Room

    I'll be running the grow in a 5' x 5' x 3.7' in my basement where the room walls have been covered in mylar. I have a 170cfm in-line fan running with an activated carbon scrubber that removes the stale air and a two in inlet for fresh air that comes from behind the finished walls in my basement.

    The room stays at a high of 80 degrees lights on and a low of around 68 degrees lights off. The humidity stays around 30-40% naturally. I'll adjust as needed with a humidifier.

    The Lights

    I'm running a 400W MH for flower and a 400W HPS for flower. I'll also be creating a small veg/clone/mother cabinet in a month or so, so I may change things up with lights then. We'll see what happens then :).

    The Soil & Pots

    I'll be using regular Happy Frog organic soil mixed with an additional 20% perlite. I start them off in small white Styrofoam cups in straight Happy Frog soil. When they are ready I'll be moving them to #2 smart pots.

    I'll pick one of the strongest plants from each run and create a mother from that, this way I'll continue the strains without having to start from seed.

    The Food
    So I'll be using Advanced Nutrients line again for this grow as well as RO water only. I really liked the results I got with my last grow of bag seed with the RO and AN so I'm doing it again with good seeds :). The AN lineup is as follows:

    Grow A&B
    Bloom A&B
    Voodo Juice
    Bud Candy
    Big Bud
    Organic B
    Overdrive

    *UPDATE ON NUTES NEW THIS RUN*
    AN - Final Phase
    General Hydroponics - CALiMAGic

    The grow so far is interesting already. The three Acapulco Gold have spouted and are looking strong. Only one northern lights has popped up so far, but they all had tails before I dropped them in the soil so I'm just waiting them out :).

    Right now all of the seedlings are in a starter dome sitting under the 400W MH about 1.2' away from the top of the dome. Temp at that level is a solid 80 degrees. The dome sits on a grow mate . I've been misting the dome a few times a day.

    Well, I'll upload a pic once all of them have popped up. Until then, here's a little bud pr0n from my last grow :). Each picture is a whole plant. There were two last time ran under the 400Watters :).

  2. DAMN!! :yummy:
     
    Thats awesome!!
     
    im hoping i can atleast get one of those colas from my first grow  lol :bongin:
     
  3.  
    I can tell you for sure, that I got the yields that I did from my nutes and LSTing the shit out of them. It's totally worth the effort and in my case since I have a low ceiling, it helps me get more bang for buck. :yay:
     
  4. Here's a few more..
     
    These are 1 QT jars :)

    Sorry for it being blurry,
     
  5. Fair play for having a go from bag seed, just read through your old thread/journal and ended up here! Nicee looking buds, good yield by the looks of it, i have just started my first grow myself, from cuttings, have been in the tent for about 9days now. Check it out if you get a chance, cant find how to pop a link on but search lemon kush :) Subbed Sent from my spaceship using Grasscity Forum
     
  6. Nice!
    Subb'd!   :metal:
    We've grown the Pineapple Express but lost it...
    I will be watching those plants. 
    I bet the Northern Lights & Purple Haze are awesome!
     
     
    Good Luck & I will be pulling up a chair & lighting a bowl to check your grow out!! 
     
     
    Peace!  :smoke:
     
  7. Subbed up brotha! Lookin mighty fine in here. :eek:
     
  8. Glad to have the Iron family along for the ride :). Mrs Iron Pineapple Express and purple haze will be the next two I run and take mothers from. I got a hold of some NL bud a few years back and have been wanting to grow it every since. I'm off to check the seedlings. I'll post some shots when they're all popped. I know seedlings aren't real exciting to look at, that is unless they are yours lol.
     
  9. So here's a quick update with some pics.

  11. This is gonna get interesting, subbed.
     
  12. Nice to have you grow2dab. Quick update everyone. The garden is coming along real nice like. I was fighting with this cold weather and keeping my humidity up for the seedlings, but I've got that all dialed in and they are kickin' ass and takin' names! They all look real really healthy except for NL#2 she's got a little problem with overly yellow leaves, the have gotten no food, only what the happy frog soil and RO water is providing. The rest of the pack all look really healthy. I have faith in NL#2.I'll have some picture updates tonight or tomorrow. Until then, fuck the snow and smoke a phat one!

    Update from the greenmachine! Well here's the update I promised. I'm posting a little later than I'd like, but I've been busy getting the clone/veg cabinet built :). Gonna run 2 x T12 4' fluorescent ballasts – 40Wea (5000K x2 & 6500K x2) setup in a 2' x 4' x ~30” tall (I'll post some pics when it's done) cabinet. Anyway onto the little ladies in the flower room. It's my temp veg room while construction completes on the other cabinet. All the girls are doing really well except NL#2 :(. I tossed one of my freebies in the mix, the Dinachem by Dinafem. Looks to be a strong seedling, might make it a mother :). So onto some pics. Group Shot: :ey: The AG's def stretch more than the NL's. DC is coming up quick! [​IMG] AG#1 (10 days in veg) She's bounced back from helmet head quite nice![​IMG] AG#2 (10 days in veg) This gal is a sweet, sweet strong looking plant 0_o[​IMG]AG#3 (10 days in veg) It's like she knew her number was 3. The trifecto is ALIVE and WELL green budguy! :metal: Every new development on her is in three's. I'm so excited to make this a mother! Gonna be some sweet AG for a while :)[​IMG] NL#1 (9 days in veg) Very strong looking lady right here. Pumped, oh yeah![​IMG] NL#2 (9 days in veg) Lookin pretty good as well, right behind her sister #1.[​IMG] NL#3 (9 days in veg) Well, I need some help her ladies and gentleman! Like I said previously these ladies have received nothing but RO water and what the happy frog has to offer. All the other ladies look great, but she just looks sick and is behind in size to the other two NL's.I'm open for suggestions...Iron deficiency?[​IMG] DC (6 days in veg) Looking, pretty solid for being only 6 days old :). Might make a strong mother yet :).[​IMG] Also, I was wondering when everyone thought would be a good time to transplant these ladies into their #2 smart pots? Also, when does everyone else start feeding their seedlings in a happy from soil base? On a side note, I got a new glass piece :). I call him “Smoke Stack Jack”, man does he hit smooth...Look at him sitting there filled with some fresh ground Deathstar and Orange Kush mixed :). Smoke Stack Jack never lets you down![​IMG] Any help or guidance on the NL#2 would be greatly appreciated everyone. Thanks in advance. :bongin:
     
  14. I'm starting to see brown spots on AG #2 & AG #3, all other seedlings look the same. I hate just sitting and watching how it unfolds, but I know alas, tis all I can do :(.
     
  15. I hate that feeling. Few of my clones look like they're having some problems but I just transplanted them so I want to see how they take to the soil before adding or trying to fix anything. I'm going to run an ACT in hopes it'll help fix anything they might have or just add some good stuff to the soil for them

    Well it seems a few of the AGs are having some problems. I've changed nothing, but while I was misting the greenhouse lid a few sprays did make it into the bunch, could that cause this?Group shot:[​IMG]AG#2 [​IMG]AG#3 She looks the worst :([​IMG]On a happier note it looks like NL#2 is coming around. There is me growth, but she still isn't the right shade of green yet. Still a little yellow in her leaves, you can see it in the group shot.Can anyone help confirm if my misting slip up did this or if it's something else?I moved the two away from the group and but the on the edge of the greengohouse. I need your guidance blades!The Greenmachine http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1265593-Greenladylover's-greenmachine
     
  17. Its prolly not from misting water.. you don't have big enough lights on em to born em or anything.
     
     
     
    You are just giving them RO water? I'm not sure if the Happy Frog that you are using has lime or anything added for calcium and RO water is known for causing calcium deficiencies. I correct my issue by adding cal/mag in at 5ml per gallon of RO water. 
     
     
    You might have seen in my thread where I have dropped the Cal/mag in lieu of Epsom salts.. My plants are showing a Magnesium deficiency so I need the Magnesium Sulfate that is in the Epsom salts. I have already loaded all my plants up with cal/mag, but there is a higher concentration of Calcium in a bottle of Cal/mag than there is Magnesium, so I needed the Salts to get me the results that I was after.
     
     
    I'm fairly certain you got a Calcium Def goin on.. You can start giving them nutes or get a bottle of Cal/mag. Also, if you aren't ph'ing the RO water, you need to do that as well brotha. 
     
     
    Just my 2 cents.. if I'm wrong.. meh, I'll add it to the growing pile. :p
     
  18. Keep up with the updates. i'm planning my 3rd grow when i move into my new house(asap). will be reading and watching and using as much advise.
