So I'm working on a new grow and this time I'm using an Areo/NFT technique first designed by StinkBud. this is the grow log:

11/2/14

(2)

Week 2 begins and with it comes new news! And good news everyone things are going spectacular since last update they've almost doubled in size but perhaps more. Since having switched from 24 hour lights on to 19/5 the plants have been doing some stretching in the dark, I think they like their beauty sleep.

(1) So for this week I change out the water and only filled my res up just past the 5gal mark. I want to test how the temps do with less water. To keep a keen eye on it, I took the temp activated heat switch for my seedling tray (as I shant be needing it any longer) and put it in the reservoir so I can see what it is digitally. with 10 gal in the res the temp didn't seem to want to go above 77 degrees which inst bad but the water is about 68 degrees when fresh.

This week I'm expecting a lot of growth since I upped the PPM's to just shy of 800. To combat this I gave my hand to FIM-ing this time around as I plan on using almost every method to keep these girls in tow. FIM-ing for those not in the know, is cutting the top growth just right, similar to topping which'll give you two new tops, FIM-ing if done right will give you 4 tops but its cool if you fuck it up because your failed FIM will be a successful topping.

(3) Also I've numbered each plant 1-5 and have been tracking them to monitor phenotype. Now these are FEMINIZED SEEDS so I'm not sure if what I'm doing even matters, but I am preparing to do a perpetual grow. So I want to experiment with finding a pheono I like and keeping it alive via constant clone cycling. So far it looks like I'm whitinessing some that look more sativa-y and some more indica-y

(4) I assume though to find the pheno I like properly I have to see all these plants through harvest and curing and see which smoke I like the most. So it looks like I'll just have to perpetually grow all of them for a while in the veg/clone until I see it through.
