My First Bb And Soil Grow :)

Finally got my ph meter. So I calibrated it with tap water and my drop ph tester. Drop ph tester said 7.0 so it's calibrated to that. With the digital ph my ph reads 5.5 so it's actually perfect

Did some major trimming on the plants today. Also cut a clone off each plant so I will have a clone of the female.

Thanks bro. I'm goin to lower them by adding more water. I had cut down on the water level thinking maybe too much of the roots were covered. So I can afford to add about 5 gallons. Added 2 1/2 and Ppms are down to 1000. Will add more tonight

[quote name="Franklins Tower" post="20105099" timestamp="1401684143"]Get ed rosenthals marijuana grow book. It goes deep into hydroponics.Hydroponics will kick soils ass any day in growth speed. The plant in the soil is slowly growing roots. I always liked soil grown. Better flavor I feel. Ive tried a ton of different kinds of both. Im a chef and I had job where they grew all there veggies hydro. I loved it. Prime stuff. Food luck on the grow. Dont knock soil. It takes time for perfection. Lol j/k whatever floats.your boat. I have too small of a place.for a.good.hydroponic set up. I have t5s for the sides and 2 foot 4 bulb fixture that has ratchet clamps and I am growing 2 more different autos and a fem whitw widow. Dont warm your seed on a hearing mat unless it has a control knob. I cooked over 100 dollars of seeds when I first started. Im getting mabey two to.three oz off this auto my next two I expect the same and the white widow I hope almost double. Im.wating till.shes four feet before.I.switch light cycle from 18/6-12/12. I.want the most out of her.Have a great night. Peace

 

Added 2 1/2 gallons of h20 to try and lower the Ppms. Got em down to 1000 now. Going to try and add more tonight. Just so weird the other plant seems to be doing fine other than the fact it's a little smaller. They are two different strains though...

Well depressing as it is, I had to chop one of my plants. It had balls. Luckily it was the sickly looking plant. The others arnt showing yet but after chopping that one the others will get more light. PH is 5.6 and ppm is 996. Also added another air stone and pump.

My bulb socket extensions came in! the tall plant looks like it may be developing balls but not sure yet. Will find out in the next week hopefully. Funny the difference camera flash makes on how the pic color comes out

The last two pics are from the same plant. Not sure if it's a male or female. It looks like thoseay be balls forming but it also already has a white shoot. Hmmm

So both plants are showing female pistols so that's a positive!

Both plants are showing pistols. Also sealed up some spots where light may have been entering during the off cycle. Had to lower the bucket cuz the plants are getting too tall for the lights.

 

Both plants are flowering. Trimmed the tips off the fan leaves. Here's a leaf off the smaller plant
