Flowering Day 30:
Everything is coming along just fine, except the plants are way too big for this ebb and flow I made. They are now getting top heavy and falling over when the table floods. I think I have kinda fixed this by adding hooks and weights to keep the pots in place. The reservoir is starting to become a pain in the ass to change too with them getting so big. On a plus note it looks like I'm going to get a bigger harvest then I had planned.
The only other problem I am having is the pH seems to be rising a lot. When I mix my nutes (FloraNova Bloom and liquid KoolBloom) the pH is perfect at 5.8 mixing with tap water. The next day it rises to over 6.5. I have to lower it almost every day. I know it goes up as the plants use the nutes, but the ppm maybe goes down by 100 - 150 at the most. Not sure if it's normal or me just worrying, but that seems like a big jump. The plants seem to be very healthy and growing quickly.
Here's today's pics:

Can you point out the ice and the bubblegum or are they all mixed up, the reason I ask I'm running ice also wanted to see if mine will look like yours eventually?

I need to change the title. My Ice and Bubblegum plants all turned out male. If you look up the thread I have a pic of my last Bubblegum plant right before it got the chop if that will help at all. I delete all my pics on my camera after I upload the ones I want, so unfortunately I don't have any of the pics anymore.
Instead of starting new seeds, I picked up clones so I could grow some female plants. The clones were from a bag seed plant that came from some very good bud. I would really like to try those two strains again, but the more I look at seed banks, I can't figure out what I wanna do next. I got the free skunk crosses from Attitude which I will prob give a shot, but I'd really like to try some of Magash's strains when they become available.

Those are looking awesome. 30 days of 12/12!?!?!? they look like 40!
Those buds are going to be pretty large my friend. Way ahead of mine at day 30, but mine were from seed and not sexually mature when flowered.

Thanks man! Big buds is what I'm hoping for. I was originally hoping for about an OZ per plant, but I think each plant already has an oz or very close to it. My plant from seed barely has any buds yet, but it just started to show flowers about a week ago. I have been watching your grow and they look fairly close. We should be harvesting about the same time too.

I like your style.
Stick around, we need more ambitious folks like yourself around these parts.
Let me guess, you dig the DIY stuff too!?
We should be harvesting around the same time, but my plants werent sexually mature when going into 12/12 so they took a little longer to pack on flowers. Hydro is the way to go, but I love my soil!

I can be pretty handy with the DIY stuff. It's fun to make stuff like this and it makes the end product that much more rewarding.
I have had nothing but problems my last few soil grows, but I have also used Miracle Grow because that's what I had around. The two in dirt now are in MG Cactus soil with added vermiculite and perlite. I read somewhere that was the better of the MG brands and I had a few extra bags of it from re potting my cacti. It seems to be working better the the organic crap I tried last time, but still has it's issues. Next time I try dirt, I need to get some Fox Farm soil in order to do a real comparison.
Hydro on the other hand has been a breeze so far. I used to have a bunch of aquariums and it's fairly similar to maintaining them.

Day 37:
Things are still coming along nicely. The buds seem to have started to bulk up nicely since I changed the reservoir on Thursday. Still using FloraNova bloom and liquid KoolBloom. I just ordered some dry KoolBloom and FloraNectar which I will start using next reservoir change.
Here is a few pictures from right before and after lights on today.

Flowering day 46:
I took these pictures yesterday and didn't get time to upload them. I added some dry KoolBloom and FloraNectar to my mix last week. I plan on using it again tomorrow when I change the reservoir and then next week start flushing. They are getting pretty close. I'm thinking they will be done in less then 2 weeks. The trichomes seem to be about 70/30, cloudy/clear, with a few amber starting to show up.

Flowering Day 54:
There getting close and very colorful. I turned off the light to get some good pictures to show the color. The HPS makes everything look yellow and orange.
I was planning on starting to flush tomorrow, but not sure I want to start that now or wait a few days. The trichomes look to be about 80/20 cloudy/amber. I don't really see any clear trichs, but it's a little hard to tell. Almost all the hairs have turned orange and receded except for some new growth on the main cola's.
Enjoy the pictures..

Thank you! I have been very happy with how this grow is turning out. Changing the reservoir has been a bitch with the plants being so big. I have to take them all out and set them around my room while I change the water once a week. They have gotten pretty top heavy and have been falling over.
I was planning on harvesting this weekend, but might let at least 2 go longer. I'll see how they look in a few days.
