My fans and water pumps generate heat during the night, and because my room is sealed I have to have my a.c's on. Is your room not sealed or is this not a problem for ya?
I just bumped my strength up to 7 ppms iron, and they loved it. I will be playing with these values more.Dankworth,
are these the green spines and shine you talk about? Soon as I added the epsom the shine was full, but I feel I could use a touch more iron & sulfur. Soon as I added the micro, the remaining red spines greened up, yet I still have some small purple stripes in my stems here and there. I know these strains are known for purple stems though. Im going to stick with the cns17 but would like to find a cheaper and more effective micro. I use .5-1ml per gallon now. Seems to be the ticket with the higher feed strength for these ladies.
good input, I always read it was around 1400 but you know how it is.... Last rd I had it around 1250 and then dropped to 450 week 7-8 and it was solid. I think I may have read you had off gassing a while ago actually. must be minimal if you are having a decent run with venting?Also you might want to look into CO2 levels; some literature and research shows that no more than 1000 ppms is best. Personally tried anywhere from 1000 to 2000 ppms and settled on 1000.
This is my first coco run so I dont have anything to compare to...I bet this run will taste noticeably different when it is finished.
I think you should join our cult.Kushtrees, I know you know ur shit, so here is my style for the curious?
I figure they all have nitrogen. Im using a very small amount, .5-1ml per gallon. I dont worry unless I see neg effects in bud onset or early flower issues. I also dont use cal-mag as most with coco or soil. I raise feed strength first, then watch my plants. Most foods have plenty cal, but not enough mag. (epsom is king here) If I still see calcium def, I add 2ml calimagic per gallon once weekly with a lower strength feeding. (Ive considered stand alone calcium product as well)
I also take notes on a clipboard and adjust profiles for my next run. It allows me to create an effective plan. I asked for spare micro from my buddy to see if it really would make a difference. I will now source a quality product at a fraction of the advanced or g.h price. My soil programs were the same. Simple grow, bloom, boost and a cal or mag if needed. But I never needed a micro...
I wont make my own nutes because its easier and Im lazy that way. I know others do.
Yes I have. They will stall a bit but not bad as their hydrophilic roots change form and grow fine hairs and shit so they can function in coco.Dankworth,
I read ur IMPROVEMENTS thread and really liked it, but all the driving and time would piss me off to no end, I travel more than I like already... lol. I do appreciate ur work and dedication, it shows man! Ill peep the other thread tomo.
Kushtrees,
You speak truth. I looked at the info and ur right, its a bootleg of g.h. and too many growers use cal-mag as a crutch as you know. Dont get me wrong, itll help hit homeruns. I just focus on the plant like most growers here. I looked at the C.E.S nute line today, and liked it. I had an outdoor growers company I dealt with yrs ago for a calcium and myco that had all types of micro's available in bulk that could be mixed for pennies. Cant remember the name though? Ill peep my old thread somewhere else and see if I can find it?
Also had a Uc bucket crack last night, I repaired it, and now one plant is a problem. I may transplant all of them to coco. Anyone ever do that?
