With Biodyne... Dont panic if your runoff ph is high. I panic flushed once, big mistake 

I can vouch for Greensmokeroom and Trophy seeds

So I'm using spring water with Orgasoilux and microbes. 

Fresh spring water is ph 5.5 and over time sometimes climbs to 5.6-5.8

Should I still ph up the water?

Prussian. Under the melamine is a salt trap as our area has snail issues

 

 

Not a single snail on my previous outdoor grow after using salt

Harvest time

For now....Same as AK but Tripart instead. Reason : i struggle catching deficiencies quick enough with organics

Hoping to do water only organic run next

Ahh yeah that's not too earlyHahah I get you, but you would be surprised. It's actually the other way around. 

In the short term you are "feeding" the plants with the leftover synthetic nutrients, so you may see them looking greener for a couple days after giving the feed, but in the long run you are compromising and destroying the life in your soil micro biome. not sure how much you care about it, but it's basically a global epidemic and people choose to be blissfully unaware even if all information was presented. we're at a point where we can no longer sustainably use synthetic fertilizers, that documentary explains it nicely  

to keep them smaller you gotta reduce feed, play between quater to half strength for feeding they will slow down

I got u thanks. And they would definitely been much smaller with organics

I was actually trying to stunt them to keep them small

Thanks NP. Yor i really can't give you specifics....i think before preflower. I dump the runoff on lawn and ground plants, better than flushing down the toilet i guess i don't know lol

High frequency fertigation. 

At 450ppm I feed once a day when I'm working, and feed twice a day on my off days. 

Runoff goes to garden plants.

Stretching completely stopped just in time. Had to remove my drain buckets

As Evan said. Mine started off just as slow but believe me, time to come you will see explosive growth

What phonescope/microscope lens do you use to take the close-up photos?

I think they finally slowed down. 

Increased the PK

I have played around a lot with the optimal amount of plants to number of branches in a small space such as this. 

Your pots are a good size for 4 plants in that space. I do think there is too much training per pot. If you want to keep four plants next time, maybe try only splitting each plant into 4-ways each, with one topping only per plant and keeping the top four branches. 

If you wanted to do the same kind of training again like here, you can just go with one big 40L pot and train one plant into like 16-ways, doing a main top, keeping top 4 branches and then topping each branch again to get 16 colas total. 

Strains also play a huge part. The strain you got there is definitely s stretcher. If you do it again, just flip to flower sooner to avoid losing the amount of headroom you did. 

Thanks for the advise. Definitely 1 plant grow for this strain. Will see how the chemdawg's structure looks for a 4 plant grow, apparently it's much smaller

I won't be doing this again. With so much abuse to these plants trying to stunt and keep them small... failed. Must be the salts, coco and genetics. Fimming, topped multiple times and lollipoped. Im almost out of headroom 

... 

600ppm 

700ppfd

Stretch in full effect

Looking nice.

If you want to keep them small rather top and lst. Fimming could get you into trouble if your timings out.. my 

You right. After fimming all four, 2 phenos are spiking taller than the rest. I topped one of them today to see what happens. I'm all experiments right now 

With the intention to keep them small. Plants were fimmed last week. Remember this is a 60cm x 60cm tent. 

520ppm. 

650ppfd

I cut back on PK last week, plants didn't like it. Im back to equal amounts of the trio and they look much happier. 

First signs of preflower. 

Lower/older leaves.

Calmag? 

Help needed. This is only on one plant

100% AK, go for it R15 each at Mambos. 

Input is 300ppm runoff is 290,next feed I'm bumping to 350ppm.

Input PH is 5.6-5.8, runoff ph is 6.8. Dr MJ Coco says to ignore runoff ph and concentrate on input ec/ph and runoff ec. 

Fertigating once a day right now
