Whcih headband? If you are growing DNA genetics "headband 707" aka sour og or whatever they call it, I have found every pheno I tried to be on the leafy side come end of term.

I am growing a headband cut that a friend gave me about 3 years ago. It is not the 707 cut so I really don't know. I am basing my leafier statements based on 2 + years of runs using jacks, heavy 16 and gh 3 part. I have a pretty good feel for her and she likes jacks.

Be careful with Boron, too much and you will have a toxicity that will be very hard to correct. 1 ppm is fine.

I see Fatman running 10 ppms iron, 5 ppms manganese, and 5 ppms boron.
Any thoughts?
 
#203
So Borax is 11% Boron.
.01 g/l=1.1 ppms boron.
I think I will supplement my .5 ppms boron with another 1.1 ppms, for a total of 1.6 ppms boron, and watch for effect today.
 
#204
Screw that. We will do 3.5 grams borax in my 50 gal res today, giving us just over 2 ppms boron to add to the .5 ppms from my micros, for a grand total of 2.5 ppms or so of boron.
Fortune favors the bold stoners, except when they are retarded and fuck things up.
Which one will it be?
 
#206
Alright, Cap, maybe I should take it easy on the boron.
2 grams borax in 50 gals will contribute 1.16ish ppms, + .5 ppms from my micro mix.
Just to be on the safe side.
1.66 ppms total.

Edit- What the fuck. No boron on the mulder's chart.


How did that Queensryche song go? The one about boron toxicity?
I am pretty sure they talk about ppms in that song. I need to check the lyrics.

Does Fatman grow cannabis? I heard that he doesn't smoke cannabis. There is a good chance I am wrong because I'm high right now.

He only grows wheatgrass and turnips. thats the legend I heard.

does anyone know where fatman is? I love reading his past post. He was stupid smart. Also has anyone followed his recipes or anything close to it?

Yuk Yuk gee I wanna be stoopid smart someday, mamma! ;) Sorry, couldn't pass it up! Wish I knew more about fatman's work, I've seen a lot of people quote him.

to hit that profile means you gotta up the concentration of nutes, right? so what does your PPM/EC come out to once its all mixed and ready to be fed to your plants?

A little over 1500 I think.
I adjusted slightly. I dropped some MKP to drop the P so that I could feed at 2000 ppms and keep P under 50, then compensated w/more K sulfate to get my K back.
 
#213
at those EC levels, your girls don't show signs of nute burns or other stress related to over feeding?

No. Mine is a freak eater getting very well lit with CO2 and rh around 60% in wk2 flower, so she handles it very well. Lower rh and I would have to lower the food strength to manage the extra transpiration.
I have tried several times to find a way to get away with feeding her less, but she shows deficiencies every time I try.
My moms get 1300 ppms , clones get 750 ppms right off the bat.
Lots of overhead 1ks will increase their food needs considerably.
The chocolope I had(fuck chocolope) wanted around 20% less food or so.

I would not recommend this strength to anybody else. It is what I have to do in my environment to keep her happy.
G13 does the same shit.
They are both freak yielders, but the G definitely takes the cake on yield I think.
Though I see how this one can do 2.5 a light someday, with everything optimized.

Dank, for what its worth, I notice the same thing regarding nute strength vs. RH. The higher the humidity, the higher the EC. I think it has to do with how much water/nutes the plant is transporting up the stem.

For sure, direct correlation with VPD. I am ghetto water-cooling to supplement the AC to keep humidity up a little more right now.

mind sharing this technique with us? I'm in need of raising my RH cause its drier than a nun's cunt in my veg room and my plants look like shit. Too poor to spend a few hundred on a Humidifier atm

I am on a well. I pour water from the faucet in a shower into a 5 gal bucket constantly. Then I pump this cold water through 1/2" tubing to a heater core radiator that has been foil-taped and bungie-corded to the back end of an 8" blower from Harbor Freight.
Cools 2 or 3 aircooled 1ks plus ballasts. Put the blower on a timer, otherwise it gets too cold at night.
