I'm using the SeaGreen now that I won from POTM. Friggin awesome stuff. My leaves were really droopy even after trying several different combinations of nutes. After SeaGreen my leaves never sagged again. The microbiologicals broke the nute locks and increased uptake several fold. Before SeaGreen any amount of watering made the girls wilt, now I have to check moisture on a regular basis or they'll dry out. Seems like something that might help with your PM issues. Get them to uptake more of that water, dry out your soil a bit to reduce overnight RH bumps, and bolster their immune systems. The kit with 2oz bottles for $36 could possibly be enough to finish this grow and run your next with no other nutes. Primordial Solutions look expensive on paper but in practice is cheaper than the cheapest nutes I've bought.
If your doing bean runs some adjustments may need to be made. If my plants were sensi then they'd be spot on f^ckin perfect but they're getting a bit purple for the extra couple weeks I need for the beans. It's probably just the cold in my case though. Even with the heater they're often dipping into the upper 40'sF at night.
Nice grow brother, I'm subbed. Thanks for your support on my diary as well.
Definitely, and thank you as well. I'm in full sponge mode and I'm try to grab as much information and experience as possible to find out what works for me. I'll look into SeaGreen. I appreciate the heads up. I'm currently starting week four of flower and I'm still scratching my head at what looks to be light bleaching. I had raised the lights up to their highest point. Roughly 23" above the tallest flower, but ranging between 23-28" above the canopy. I expected the bleaching to stop however it looks like it's still getting worse on the affected flowers. They seem to be the flowers that look like their in the most intense lighting from my naked eye. Maybe 15%-20% of them.
I also found yellowing new growth could be iron deficient or lockout. Typically being lockout because tap water, and nutes generally have enough iron in them. I also read iron can lockout above 6.5ph. My PH range is 6.4-6.6. I also figured if it was an iron lockout, all of the plants flowers should be affected. In my case, they're not. It's only a select few tops.
Either way I'm at a loss. So I'm going to flush next watering with a lower PH. I'll most likely bring it down to 6.2-6.3 and then feed with half strength nutes. They've been getting full strength for the last two feedings and 80% before that. If they continue with the bleaching, I might just need to let them do their thing. I really don't know what else it could be and the light is already as high as it could go.
The light is a brand new Hortilux 1000W HPS. But from what I've gathered, 23-28" should be sufficient height above the tops. Maybe a PAR meter is in my future. I'm just not sure yet if the $40 models are accurate and worth it. I'm not trying to spend $100's on one of those toys.
Sorry it took a minute to get back to you. Not great reception the last couple days and must've missed alerts.
Would you do a clear close-up of the leaves you think are iron deficient. Pretty sure at this point I can verify send you in another direction. No expert but iron is pretty easy.
You absolutely nailed it. I discovered severe limitations with the net sizing and definitely plan to go smaller the next time I SCROG. My next run since I'm planning more plants will most likely be tomato cages.Hi mate..to make you feel better ,ive never seen anyone grow sunset sherbet on here well. there might have but i certainly havnt come across it yet.id say you was off to,a bad start from the beginning bud.the clones didnt lookmto flash from the start.id like to see you use a net with smaller squares so you can tuck weave the branches better..

Also I agree with the clones. They were noticeably rough. Moving forward I plan on growing from seed or using my own clones. I purchased my first packs during this grow.
While I have had somewhat of a train wreck first grow, I can appreciate it. I've learned a lot of what not to do, what's worked, and what I would do differently next time.
Update: Day 29 Flower
Oh, yeah. I like the sound of that.That is a whole lot of early frost.
Crazy noice man.
Oh, yeah. I like the sound of that.
Update: Pics are from Friday, Day 29 of flower
My last feed on 1/10/19, Day 28 was full strength Emerald Harvest, PH 6.2 PPM 890. Run Off was 6.5 ph with a PPM range of 1050-1100. Every watering I get about 25% runoff.
So yesterday, Day 31, I watered with some new products and 1/4 strength Emerald Harvest minus the typical Emerald Goddess in my line up due to the addition of SeaGreen. I used Bloom A & B, Honey Chome, and King Kola 1/4 strength. I received a free sample of Mammoth P. Since I'm not familiar with this product or how and when to use it, I dosed it 1ml per gallon. It recommended 2.5 ml per gallon. After searching this site, I only found huge debates of those that either love it or hate it. So I went light with it. It was most likely a one time use for this particular cycle unless someone can convince me to keep using it and explain the optimal time and safe dosage to use. I read some reviews on this site about mutating flower growth after its use. I was also recommended SeaGreen. It arrived in time for the watering and I added that at 3ml per 5 gallons. The recommended dosage was 1-3ml per gallon. Again, I went light because I wanted to see how the plants reacted to these new supplements.
The watering was PH 6.2 with a PPM of 380. The run off was 6.5ph with a PPM range of 640-660.
Temps still hanging it at 74.7-66.7 degrees with an RH range of 50-60%.
Each picture is a row of 3 plants in 3 gallon plastic pots. Six plants total in the tent. 6 week veg.
Thanks brother. I hope so. I'm not looking forward to trimming all of it. I might have to buy one of those bowl trimmers.Wow, those look awesome dude. That's gonna be a nice harvest.
