My last grow didnt quite work out as planned bc of badly timed clones. I wanted 6 same sized plants and finally got everything goin. They are 3 blue dream 2 crystal mountain and a strawberry deathstar. Veg system will be a 30gal tub 6 site dwc with a top feed. Got about 18 gals water. Im running R.O with GH lucas with calmag, aquashield and flora +. Ill b adding koolbloom and flora nectar in flower. Ppms at 450 In flower i have 2 separate 3 bucket current culture systems. 18 gal rez 5 gal buckets 400gph waterpumps on each. Each also have a 40lpm air pump on each flower system and on in the veg system. 600hps on top of each 4x2 screen. Each screen and system are in a 4x7 flower room. I have a few plants in there still.

Couple q's if ya dont mind How long did the blue dream take to start progressing after transplant from soil? What was your process, feeding schedule etc for that transplant? I ask because i had a few plants that died for the first time ever in my ten years of growing due to root aphids. I transplanted a few clones from that and they had 7-10 inch roots in three weeks in nothing more than a window seal. I then bought some banana kush clones, alien og, and confidential cheese. Those were all rooted in soil. I transplanted into hydro (growstones) and the growth has been quite slow. I kept ppm at 350 for the first couple weeks feeding calmag, maxigrow+bloom,cannazym, and an ph down when needed, ro water. Yesterday i had to switch to tap for the chrlorine due to algae buildup on top of growstones. Going to treat with stop n shock or whatever its called. First hydro grow btw. My blue dream (i assume bd) clones from my first grow thrived almost instantly, are a jungle now, and prefer 1350ppms per day to my shock. Jus curious if theres a period of stunt before growth and how long it takes for plants to grow again. Thanks.
Not really i took soil clones got a tub of water and just took the clones outta cups, set in few inches of water and splashed roots till all soil was gone. Then put 2" layer of growstone and set roots on top and filled with rest of stone. I run a top feed to help keep the plants watered till they reach thru netpot to wayter. I start my clones around 400ppm with nothing but base nutes and aquasheild Sent from my LG-LS720 using Grasscity Forum mobile app

Very big stretch goin on. Almost doubled in size already. Gave them extra room to strech into screen. It sits at 20" above buckets. This plant has the biggest leaves ive seen yet. Sent from my LG-LS720 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Havnt updated in a while. Blue dream week 4 flowering. Finally quit stretching on me. HUGE stretch! I wanna say 2.5x in 4 weeks. Running at 1100ppm. Did a light trim a few days ago. Alot of big leaves above screen. Alot of ppl say dont cut fan leaves blah blah blah... it seems to work wonders for me using scrog. I keep it almost clear of fan leaves above screen to allow light to cover entire canopy. Even light to all buds above screen. Sent from my LG-LS720 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Looking good man, I have a similar sized ScrOG screen, around the same amount of time on 12/12 too. I keep all my fan leaves though so should make an interesting comparison. That's a good size air pump, do you find it noisy? I use two 10 litre per minute air pumps and they are noisy enough lol
Strawberry Deathstar day 14 flower. Showing buds sooner and mild stretch compared to blue dream. Ppm at 1000. Crystal mtn had almost no stretch. I only have one cystal mtn in flower. Other went into soil and goin outside also a budshot of crystal mtn mother buds!! Smells amazing. Huge thick buds. Sent from my LG-LS720 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
