Killing fields i hope i have both pink and green pheno..im gna grow the jacks first...here come an interesting 13 weeks of scrog...big yields i hope to hit the 1g per watt yield since this is a high yield strain, plus my tent is running optimum condition, rez is nice and chilled, cant wait to chop the other ones off just waiting for my testers to dry up so long in the meantime she can keep maturing. Hope to start my seeds soon, gna be a long wait but going to be worth it

Next order has some strong ass Indica.... Herijuana IBL, and a few others plus a freebie again...

Now we're talking...got my post today...how perfectly timed is this...

I recently fixed the N issue i had deep into flowering and all is sailing smooth now...hope to see some leaves yellowing soon, im not going to give any nutes now until its pure water

The small plants smell sweet like tropical smelling and the big plant is more coffee smelling now from its lemony smell...so no idea but yet still excited to eventually smoke them all

Yeah max true, i did this grow to try grow before spending too much money and screw it up,but i learn alot and now i can control the environment properly, but atleast I know the Dank twins below are fine for now and they close to finish and super dank..that shud have me happy for a little while and the rest can be converted into Rands if the smoke is substandard for me which I doubt...i have only had  sativa that are full amber for  many years now, so i should feel the strong sativa punch with proper harvest and cure.. But the next grow will be a garunteed high time for me with proven genetics...peace

Ahh well I suppose its all good il just keep pushing and see , a few seeds wont really be a disaster i know the genetics that are coming are strong and reliable and I now have more of a handle on things etc. Nutes I now know how to control properly now and EC is running from .8 up to 1.2 as the water drops cos shes thirsty now over the weekend I was away I topped up fresh ph water and when i cam back it had drank about half the rez, the PH drifted slowly to 6.1 now its back at 5.9 somehow lol. The full rez now i think I should let my rez salts gradually decrease while just keep topping fresh ph water until its in clean PH water and then keep flushing until its harvesting time.I read somewhere that you can induce quicker flowering by cutting the light cycle more by maybe 2 hours so the plant thinks its late harvest and speeds up amber production...any experience with this?

My seeds are almost here..maybe i should plant these clones outdoors, maybe it can be due to the Nute stress etc...ah i doubt il get seeds though, should i try pick them off?

Here are my clones after Fimming once

Oh no there probably wont be enough time for the male parts to mature before harvest, what is your view and what do you think I should do?...now i dont know if i should flower my clones, thay are nice and big already.

Can anyone help me, some weird shit goin on here...some of the Calyx seem to be open and have like a weird white looking growth...is my plant going hermie?

Thanks Tote for the PM...appreciate it so much

Can i give more MPK to raise the EC value to 1.8 - 2.0 or should I add some more A nutrient also...if someone can explain this to me in a few words I will be eternally grateful.. From what I understand the Part A is NPK and macro micro, Part B is N and Calcium and MPK is basically PK....I dont mind cutting Part B cos I can always supplement with Calmag later on if necessary. The part thats fucking me is...how do I keep my EC relatively high with just part A and MPK..can I add more MPK to raise EC or should I cut my part A by 50% or keep it as chart says...I need serious help guys...those who are experienced with these chemicals probably know how frustrated I am...this high Nitrogen has prolonged flowering i think..im at 3months flowering, still not any clearly visible amber yet

Guys...

Iv cut out the Part B completely, gave 50% part A and gave the other 50% of A to MPK plus the MPK on the chart...now my EC is 0.87 i gave a little extra MPK ..im fucking fucked with these nutrients guys need serious help or advice how to use these chemicals

Here I posted the info about the Nutes.

But seems you guys know how to use these nutes...

Lol my first Hydro and first grow as well...im not doing too bad its just the nutrients that have me unsure most of the time...if i have that sorted then il be doing some better growing next time...

Thanks guys,

This is where iv been wrong all along.

I know about slowly fading the N into flowering bit just never knew how yet.

Thanks alot you guys are helping me alot here...my next grow should be one to watch.

Thats correct its the A B MPK...can explain why Iv kept B the same while cutting A with 50% and replacing that 50% A with MPK...im gna check again all the Chem names and you can help me with that i wan to also add calmag in my next grow.

Your the man il talk to when it comes to fertiliser...

Is the A B and MPK okay to use? because im afraid other ferts may cost me alot more

Yeah tote im patiently waiting but seems to be closer now, shes sparkling in the light lol...the smell is delicious, grapefruit lemon sweet...even a dried bud kept that sweet aroma...

I dont know exactly how these chemical nutes  work but need to do more homework on it to figure out which chemical does  what so i can cut the N out...in theory i know this, but cant practise it... Im just hoping these can finish soon ey..thanks for the advice tote! Plus i bought an EC meter so I can be more accurate...but will do my homework soon. I remember you saying in one post that you worked with ferts for long, so il be sure to ask u if I get stuck

Things are looking up...will take pics when the lights go off again...the end is coming atleast

Thanks Toby, I actually removed the post lol, I found Cervantes book with the answer in it online lol..trusted opinion ...thanks for the input tobez!

Just for a good laugh..I even tried lifting the one side of the reservoir with my foot and one hand...hahahahaha..the Reservoir is too damn heavy!

I struggled my ass off to get the Reservoir with the plant in the tent cos I didn't have enough hands, that top cola and plant were ready to snap, she cannot support herself at all, I eventually rested her on my shoulder and picked up over the bottom of the tent and put down quick...so im pretty shure the CFLs did a great job till now...its pretty fucked having to have one hand holding the plant constantly while trying to support her...at least its over now lol

Oh and I gave up making my tent, decided to just buy the damn thing, Im going to use the pipes of my diy project to build a SCROG net

Quick update,

My plants are in their new home, they now have 2.4m of height and its a 2 room tent interchangeable to a single tent. Some duct work, smell control, and silencing  to be carried out still.

This hopefully will boost production for last weeks before harvest...

Peace!
