Hempy LED Grow: DP Power Plant

If hybrid 30%sativa 70%indica a touch of amber. and if sativa dom 5-10% amber. Even equatorial growers will tell u if they could let their crop go longer they would.. they have to cut early because of market demand and avoid cop raids but if they could let their crops go to the full season would get amber.

Interesting stuff dude, didnt know that.

Each of my tops are going to have different trichs, Iv got 3 very different phenos and some will be ready before others but I must harvest all at the same time because I have to dry mine in the tent with the carbon filter. One plant wont be anywhere near ready when I harvest lol.

Not optimal, but this grow is just a learning experience for me. My next grow will be better thought out.

cool stuff man, that's sick that u have 3 diff pheno's gonna be good varitey when you harvest. Gotta do what u gotta do man,, im sure its gonna be excellent smoke regardless!

Quick update guys, Im not too happy with the size of the buds which I think is from too much Nitrogen (very dark green leaves) and not enough P&K (red stems on fan leaves)

Iv decided to stop feeding the Grow and Micro and instead give a triple dose of Bloom due to the higher P&K. Not sure how this will go considering Im using the PH Perfect range, but Il try it because the leaves are WAY too dark this far into flowering.

Also I have a feeling this may go to 10 weeks, but Il see how the trichs are at week 8 and 9 first.

Triple dose would be bad... you're liable to get some nute lock out.
Just cut the N and dose with recommended bloom.

I dont think you get what I mean, heres what Iv been feeding them:

Grow: 1-0-4 (10ml per gallon)

Micro: 2-0-0 (10ml per gallon)

Bloom: 1-3-4 (10ml per gallon)

In total thats 30ml of nutes. What Im going to do is give 30ml of ONLY the bloom. This will bring a total ratio of 3-9-12.
 
#567
If I dose with nothing but the recommended amount of bloom, total PPM's would be like 200-300. The triple dose of bloom I gave them today only came to 700 PPM's

You may just want to start flushing if you think you're cutting them down in a week or two...if you think you'll go longer then then feed bloom only until your two weeks out and then start flushing...

A two week flush? I thought a 7 day flush is sufficiant?

can change up to 11/13 light cycle, nugs might bulk up more seeing as her days are getting shorter.

Yeah? Id have thought the hour less of light would mean decreased growth?

Cant get at the timer anyway, its awkward to get at and sliding the tent isnt an option due to two of the buckets being on top of pasta jars lol, everything could topple.

Il just try out using the triple dose of bloom, begin the flush 7 days from harvest and hope for the best! If anything its been a learning experience and my next grow with a pure indica will go much, much better. The stretch is what really fucked me over this time.
 
#572
Oh btw guys, whats your take on 48 hours darkness before harvest?
 
#573
@irishboiii , by only adding the bloom, you will lock out your plants. It will seem like a flush because the plant is not getting all the essential and micro nutrients. The micro most likely has your calcium.
For simplicity, just use the micro and bloom. I'm not sure what your nutes brand feeding schedule is, but it is normal for most brands to drop the grow at the latest after stretch.
Red stems can be a genetic trait sometimes. Your plants look fine, don't rush things now. As they end their lifecycle, you will start to see a fade in color even without flushing.
48 hours of darkness in theory should work; however, no one really has hard info. I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to wet trim, since the plant will most likely lose turgor pressure, making it wilt and a bitch to trim. You could send that question to @med man . I remember he used to finish with a dark period, but he also used pure ice water in an attempt to add more trichs.
Just cruise to the end now, but stay on the odor like a hawk. You said your carbon filter is leaking? How so?

the hour less is gonna 'tell' the female that the season is ending so she will put more energy into her flowers to make them more attractive to pollinators and bigger for a better chance to get pollinated. She's gonna get all sexy for you :). What Indica are you looking to grow? I'm also looking for pure indica's

Thanks for the input man. Every 3rd feeding I give them Magne Cal anyway so that will sort that out.

Carbon filter is just crap, only filters about 50% of the smell. I have ONA blocks in the ducting which are doing a good job anyway.

Is wet trimming better than dry trimming?

Sounds good, Il see if I can get in at the timer so!

My next strain is a secret, gonna keep it as a surprise :wink

Ok so I just hooked up the fan and filter, which was a HUGE pain in the ass doing on my own lol. I just used tonnes of duct tape to connect the ducting for the time being.

Looking at this photo, it looks like you have about 180 degrees in bends, which is not good. You're losing an ass of efficiency that way. I know its probably to full in that tent to adjust it, but take care of that before you start the next run. I just don't see how a new carbon filter cannot be filtering the smell, there has to be a leak from the duct to the can fan. To get a true seal to stay the whole grow, use the aluminum flex tape to seal, then duct tape over it.
Cal Mag products don't have the micronutrients needed by the plant, which micro does. The reason they have micro is because you cannot have all macro and micro nutrients in salt form in 1 bottle, or you will get precipitation. Hope that helps, if I'm just repeating things, sorry, just want to see ya crush it!

Thanks man, ok Il add the micro back in then. My filter isnt a can fan, its a HY filter which was very cheap. Your right though, gotta sort that out for my next run
