Torno 2011 Grow

Quick update...
Heat Wave of 2011 has really put a tight knot on growth. You can see the plants haven't really grown to much from the last "family photo" but all in all they are still alive! You can see that my late starts were potted up and added to the rest of the plants outside and are doing extremely well. They put the other plants to shame in over all growth and a lot younger than the rest. Major lesson learned this year: don't rush seedlings! oh and make sure to check your waters pH!
You can see I started to have a dip in available Mag on the ButchT and NagaBon in the very back but it was quickly resolved and all new growth is coming in a beautiful green. The two plants up front have YET to accept anything I have done to get them to green up and have been yellow/green for two months now.

Now that the weather is back to it's normal temps the plants are loving it. There a lot of new growth coming in and quickly and over all them being out in the sun most of the day now is really helping out. Once they get back to where they should be I'll post pictures of the outdoor plants. For now here is a progress line up of a Peach Bhut in DWC.

14 Sep 2011 *this is the point where the roots just started to reach down in the water, the plant next to is another Peach Bhut, germinated on the same day as DWC plant*
20 Sep 2011 *leaves are downward as it's time for it to call it a night, when lights come on at 5am it's all perked up!*

Quick reply... Pictures taken today, 6 days after the last pictures posted of progress. The largest leaf is 9 1/4 long and 5 3/4 wide when I measured last night. The plant is subjected to 24/7 fan air at high speed and still growing fast enough that I'll have to end up staking it somehow to avoid it leaning to much.

Lookin goot, I might try a lil peroxide on a couple of mine and see what it does. I only have the 3 pct, but I'm sure the Hydro store has some...
Andro: FoxFarm Ocean, but I've since found a local 50% compost/50% local soil/sand mix that works just as good AND it's extremely cheap compared to FF.
Moo: Ya the lights had to get pushed up another 5 inches to accommodate the growth. The plant has been in a bloom mix for the past week and half since it started to node. This plant is more or less my introduction into DWC and going to push it to pod quick as possible. Next year I do plan on having a handful of DWC grown inside from start to finish just to see how massive I can get some of these plants and play around with some isolated crossing.

Thankfully nothing was severe enough to hurt the plant in any way. Just decided it was best to hack those leaves off as a "just in case" and in doing so I've seen a burst in growth. I'm guessing by Friday I will have to go in there and raise the lights a third time. It's getting to the point I am thinking about just putting the plant in the garden window in the kitchen where it will receive direct sun in an east facing window from early morning until around noonish. The downside is it will very likely become leggy in growth after that as all windows on my house have 80% solar screens on them. All in all the plant is doing good and very much enjoying the hydro setup!

Quick Update.... Plant has been in the garden window now for a few days and doing fine so far. It's pushing right around 22 1/2 inch and as you can see I've been hacking away any leaves pushing into the 6-7 inch long. Want to get as much light and air movement to the plant as possible, those monsters leaves I had a few weeks back were creating this leaf armor that was restricting air flow inside the plant. Other than that it's doing good and the root mass is getting rather dense...
