Thanks Fred,I set the flood times to every 4 hours.The pipe is deeper that the tray and needs more floods and longer floods.I bought a intermatic timer and it's harder to program and I think it was only flooding for 5 mins and that's not enough,they were only getting wet alittle.The PH was set at 5.8 and today it 6.0.The ppm's are ok,the water's ppm before nutr add is 380ppm and after nutr 1670ppm's.So the ppm's of the nutr is 1290ppm's.I'll check the Ph & ppm's tonight and let you know.It's all new system and I got to work the bugs out alittle.Thanks fred and everybody. Peace

Hey Fred,I been flooding every 4 hours and they are getting better.More green and the two small ones are starting to grow.But all of them are a little yellowgreen.I made covers for the pots last night to keep the light out.Heres some pix I just took.I'am going to take some clones from the mother that's in soil now.I hope she is a female.Cracked 5 seeds and so far one male.I think I'am going to dump the res sunday and do one more week of veg and then turn to bloom.What you think? Peace

Hey Guys&Gals,It has been very hot here this week 95degree and up with rain storms with lighting hitting homes.We need the rain bad but the ligthing can go.I live in the Lighting captal of the world.{that's a fact}The grils are getting greener too. the little ones are taking off,one more week of veg and flowering they go.Iam changing the res today too with fresh nutrs.The start of this grow was going to be a test of the GL Nutr in the new flood system.

But I messed up the timer and didnt flood them long enough .Now that's all fixed things are doing right and they are greening up too.The next grow will be the test for sure.It will be in the cab,tryed and true working system.There's noting wrong with the flood pipe,I just rushed things to much to get them in there and a new timer I havent used before.So I programed it wrong and now I got it right things be working fine.Here's some Pixes.Enjoy Peace

Well things have smoothed out and the plants are growing good now.I changed the res yeaster day and today they look like they have grow a inch or two.I didnt use the GL Accelerator this change.If you look at the pix in the post above of the res lid inside was a dark brown and the bottom of the res was black.Right now it's a lite clear green color.Anybody else have this in there res?Two of the plants are small to flower but friday or sat they all will go into the flowering cycle.I have to cause of hight there's only 36" more they can grow,witch is ok.Took 12 clones monday and they are in the dome.I hope the mom is a real mom.I cracked 5 seeds and put one in soil as a mom.So far one male and one mutant and two females.The 4 in this pipe are from the cab
I topped them took clones from the tops.So I dont remenber witch clones are witch.Will see in about two to three weeks from now.Them I'll flower one of the clone when they root to see if she is a she.Here's some pixs. Peace

Lookin real nice Toke..thats a nice system you built youself, really cool man. I want to build a vertical ebb n flow system so bad! but right now time is not in my favor. eventually though! keep up the work dude...cant wait to see those flower out.

Hey Everybody,Well I switched to 12/12 yesterday they started today on the first 12/12 cycle and bloom nutr{GL}.Two of the plants were to small to flower.They would of been choked out of the light by the bigger two so I pulled them out and put them in the bubbler tub to get bigger.Whem I drained the res I saved the nutr they are were only 6 days in the res and using them to feed the little ones that I moved to the tub.They are under the cfl and Two 150 watt cfl's.The clones are next to them and the mother plant too.I have a new order of seeds on the way and I will be growing out all thems clones first before I crack the K-2 and Snow White.But they are up next.I hope the two that's in the pipe are females.I will be alot more carful when I take clones to lable them so I know witch ones I took from witch plant.But from the way they are growing they look just like the ones in the cab now and they are females.Just got my fingers crossed.Well here's some pixs of what I got and what I have done so far. Peace

Hey toke,

Sorry to hear about the timer issue. But, your chubby girls look like they will grow into some nice fat chicks.

I was on lunch break at work, a few days ago, smoking a bowl, and a truck pulled in with, guess what? A load of about 100 10" PVC pipes. I had all kinds of ideas going through my head. But, I left them alone,...for now.

Toke, lookin nice hopefully you will catch a break and have them both be girls. I have an order of K-2 seeds also just waiting to be hatched in my fridge. ill be watching and learning when you start that strain, cant wait.
