I wonder why they call this strain Auto pounder?

I suspect the reason that one leaf at the bottom is in bad shape is that leaf was the 1st leaf from seedling my RH here is much too low for seedlings. As you can see though after the plant established itself everything went text book SO FAR.

I don't know, but I suspect this plant will like the new Solis Tek 600 watt HPS bulb running 24/7 at this stage of week 5. we shall see any guesses?

DAY 29! The 400 watt MH 10K experiment I believe is a all around success ! The Auto pounder is in full bloom at only 29 days!. Plant height is now at the 5 foot level in the tent. I have switched bulbs out now the new 600 watt HPS bulb is hard at work 24/7 !. I was surprised at the speed of vegetation growth of this plant! I could almost say the plant is ahead of itself by a couple of weeks. The flowering sights are plainly visible I estimate the tent roof is still 2-3 feet away so the flowers should have lots of stretch room!. All nutrients are at 100% at this time, I am however cutting back on the " N" Cal Mag at 5ml per gal. 100% RO used. Outside temp. here today is 114 WOW THATS HOT!!!! Temp. at canopy level now 71 above root temp. now 73.7 RH 16%

My local dispensary here is running a firecracker special today. Normally I avoid the dispensary, due to high cost and questionable quality. Today however I picked up a half zip of Dr. Who flowers on a whim for $75.00 22% THC tested (or so the label says). I'm warming up the Volcano at this very min. NOW IF ONLY GREEN WERE HERE TO HELP ME MEDACATE.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

As many may know, I was buying MANY bottles of Distilled water for my DWC at my local store each bottle cost me .95 this really adds up to the grow cost weed is a thirsty plant!!!. I got a 5 stage RO filter and a TDS meter I have been using it for all DWC watering needs.
My first water bill came today it went UP by a whopping $3.00!. My cost per gal. for DWC water, is now 4.1 cents a gal. The RO filter in itself will save about $120.00 a grow!. The filter provides me many gallons (they claim 500 gal.) of low 0-5 TDS water for a low price. (note) I also saved $62.13 on electricity by using the reduced wattage 400 Watt 10K MH finishing bulb during vegetation instead of a 7K normal vegetation 600 Watt one . All together I figure I shaved about $200. on grow costs. My goal is to reduce grow cost to about what a garage freezer cost to run but maintain a respected harvest, or balance between cost and pay out .

The R.O. filter is a ON DEMAND table top model (I keep it in a bag under my desk in the dark between uses) Initial cost of filter from Amazon was $119.00 (shipping included). Filter replacement cartridge kits are available for $75.00 This unit says it will filter 500 gal. between cartridge change out. I guess it would also depend also on how hard the initial water is you are filtering. The water I filter has a initial TDS of 172. After filtering I get a TDS reading of (2) I check every R.O, gallon I make with a TDS meter before use. My house water is hard at 172 but not bad enough to tax this filter it seems. I store the RO water in gallon jugs for DWC use. I keep 5 gallons plain on the ready for PHing and future use.
