The Crystal Palace is back, now with a Spiderfarmer SE5000.

I actually told a lie..for some reason i was thinking i had the dyna gro products..probably because thats what i really wanted but couldnt get it...i have botanicare pure blend pro profucts .grow,bloom and bloom soil formula...time to go to spec savers...lol..

Thats an awesome lineup. Ive used all those and highly recommend them. Pbp for veg and early flower, hydro bloom 2-3-5 for mid flower, 1-4-5 soil bloom for late flower

Those pictures look like too much nitrogen late in flower. I never had any issues with dyna gro.

Hey, Burnz I didn't see any nitrogen toxicity during the entire grow, in the meantime, I used recharge once a week to remove excessive salts and balance the pH of the soil,

Ive been using it on the young ones and they look very vibrant...sshz got me onto the botanicare products..i havnt anyone to follow whos using it..i guess i just read the gals and use it like i have with the canna products..i can see now why sshz uses lots of cal/mag as these products must have nxt to nill...so will calimagic work with these products dirtbag or will it drop out of the mix..

I use it a bit in Veg, week or so before flower. Then again end of stretch or so up until just before ripening.

Did you use bloom on its own or mixed with foliage pro? The way I use it now for flower is about 70/30-FP/Bloom, and near the end of stretch cut that to about 60/30/10- FP, Bloom/MP, and near the end of flower I cut it to 60/30/10-Bloom/FP/MP.
Thereabouts. I'll be totally honest I just kinda mix up a witches brew and usually change something about it almost every grow. But im finding in late flower less N is good, P should be up, but K should be highest of all.

Thanks ,Db
First added Pro-Tekt, abt 3-5ml/ gal up tp week 6 of flower,the rest nuts followed the Dyna feed chart (EC: 1-1.3/ Feed Feed recharge cycle in flower, Water only in Veg ). After this run, still have a few numbers of problems to solve
（1） Ambers started to turn yellow in day 32 which caused by too much phosphorus in Dyna bloom? But it didn’t seem to be caused by too much light.
（2）After I added Pro-Tekt and FR, the pH of the tap was automatically reduced from 6.8 to 6.5. Wouldn't potassium silica cause the pH to rise?
(3) If it is coco dtw, does the FP contain enough magnesium element

Nearly time to spread these out and fire up the rest of the lights. I bumped up the feed a little and will add a bit of magpro for the next few feeds. They were looking hungry, I think I've been going in a bit low on the ppm. So, up to 1.2ec this am. Likely 1.3 by the time I get magpro going this afternoon.View attachment 1189159

alright i admit, the growing rate is insane!! Week and half and they are maturing up nicely from baby clones.
Toning in and actually interested to test this out.

I'll try and make it as simple as possible, I break the grow down into 6 loosely defined sections.

1: Rooting phase. When clones are in the dome waiting for roots to pop. I aim for 85%+ humidity and a temp of 75-80f. Last about 2 weeks.

2: Nursery phase. Also called the preveg stage, this is after rooted cuts are transplanted to their first home, either a 3" block in my case, or a red solo cup, or small Nursery pot etc. I aim for 65-70% humidity and temp of 75-80f. I keep them under pretty low light here, usually T5HO flourescents. This stage lasts until the starting container is well rooted, usually about 10-14 days.

3: Vegetative phase: when the plants are removed from the Nursery and transplanted to larger containers or placed on grow slabs under higher powered grow lights. This is when I lower humidity to 55-60% and gradually increase the amount of light, and increase temp slightly to drive transpiration a bit harder. This stage for me lasts 2-3 weeks.

4: Transition phase. The first 3 weeks of 12/12, I'll keep RH in the low 50's and temps high 70's. I also continue increasing light levels incrementally during this period.

5: Mid flower. Rh high 40% temp high 70's. Full light intensity.

6: Late flower: RH as low as possible temps reduced to mid-low 70's and light dialed down to 40%

Hope that helps.

Hey @Dirtbag, Glad to see the Palace up and running again! Looking great as always

I wish this was stickied somewhere, fantastic advice that could help a lot of up and coming growers

Things are going slow but steady here, a little over a month until the next harvest

What is going on with that light configuration there? Looking yummy!

 

[harmonics]

Hahaha good catch, I need to balance everything much better
My Canopy is always all over the place unfortunately. I’m still learning how these strains grow and stretch, I need to place everything much better next cycle.

They’re Happy girls, I like the look of everything overall for now; still a lot of room to grow and improve though

 

[harmonics]

It’s better than it looks, I swear!
Day 27 of Flower, definitely happier than last round and I avoided overwatering and stunting/ slowing them down for a week
(so far)

 

[Dirtbag]

Looks dope @harmonics! Love the small fabric pots, I like your style bro!

These plants are on the move. Pics are 2 days apart. For sure spreading them out and cranking up the other lights this weekend, including the @SpiderFarmerLED SE5000.

Things are looking good so far. And the SF4000 has proven to be no slouch in veg either. I'm running it at 55% or so and it's keeping up with the 1K HID. Seriously, it seems brighter than a 1K MH when it's on full blast.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I love the LEDs that we have now. They are becoming the base level standard. Other companies are upping their game and the prices are still falling. We the growers are the real beneficiaries here.

Can't argue here man lol.. im pretty grateful to be able to give these a run.
Honestly having the LED side by side with the HID gives me a better idea of the intensity output just on a visual level, and I think @Aqua Man hit the nail on the head, I was underestimating just how intense these LED's are.

Ahh home sweet home... chilling in the dirtman's domain and watching the show.

Shit looks amazing as usual bro... got a feeling those nuts are gonna dense up enough for you to take notice in the end.

Those some happy happy ladies there

I can barely read this comment I'm so blind. I don't even use sunglasses

Yeah honestly joking aside get some shades if your working in there.

Bam!!!! I be here and there telling fortunes for high fives all night

 

[tobh]

for real dude lol i use sunglasses whenever i open my tent. you're a madman in that room without em

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

RIGHT HERE LADIEEEEES AND GENTS!! Step up and donate your used shades to a good cause, the saving of @Dirtbag's sight.
The poor man can barely find his wife his sight is so bad. He has to feel all over for her. He needs your used shades.


Donate now!

Makes me hear better..
