Kuwl - Rollin' Along

[kuwl]

I'll be 72 this week and I guess I got to make it a point to write every lil thing down I do to the plants
Memory issues of late
I think at one point a while ago I put some bone meal on top of the potting soil
That might be the problem after I read what not to do with it
At 9 weeks in flower for #1 n 2 and they not doing well
I might let them go 10 wks but will be anxious this week
PH water from now on but their taking a long time to drink the last feeding (1.75 ml Liquid Karma)
Maybe tomorrow
They didn't bulk up as much but the taster I did was very rich and hashy

Got the duct to take in room air at night and fresh cold outside air when the lights are on.
Thanks Frankster and MiMedGrower I seen the post and thought why didn't I think of that lol

#1 (Afghan Kush Early Harvest

)

#2

#3 (2 wks behind) and yes I notices the same yellowing leaves
Not sure if it is bone meal or The silicon and foliage pro I used (1/8 tsp of each in the mix )
I will not be using in the next feed

And lastly Strawberry-Banana getting big
Lite feed and I wait till she bone dry before I water and feed (very lite mix 350 PPM)
Not sure why leaves are droopy, she drinking good (Almost 4 wks in the Flower tent)

The light greening plant looks like she needs more nutrients. 350 ppm is a very light feed. I feed seedlings .7ec (350ppm)

and happy birthday old man!

Thanks, young at heart tho :)

I think the light feed is my nutrient paranoia kicking in lol

Taking the crates out of the tent, I think plants might be too close to this particular light
The bud pic's are of the top cola's closest to the light so them crispy edges lite burn?

Other shots of lower colas show little or no burn
and better trichomes too.

It's always these last few weeks that get me in trouble.

Oh I brought some security cams for the house since my outside grow was "taken"
I figure why not put the stand alone cam in the tent to monitor temps n humy
LOL the dam shinny stuff in the tent will not let a signal go thru, man that suks.

The best thing about this "Hobby" is the end product,
I mean the very end when the smoke is curling up
and you feel the first taste and wave of euphoria.
And you know you did good.

Pic's of buds farther from lite

Fed #1 n 2 today just 1.75 ml of Liquid Karma per gal. (9 weeks in flower)
I dump in a whole gal to get the run off and clear out old nuits

Also fed SB (The light Green One) 650 PPM 6.2 PH

1ml Pro Tekt silicon
1ml Foliage Pro
5ml Botanicare Liquid Karma
2.5ml Cal-Mag+ iron
10ml Botanicare Pro Grow

Not sure I needed the Pro Grow tho
and prob use the silicon and foilage pro every other feed
Cal-Mag+iron I only use once unless she shows signs of need

#3 didn't need fed but when I do I will run a gal. of plain PH'ed water thru before feeding

 

[kuwl]

SB is looking much better since last feed
perked up quite a bit

I was trying out this junky phone microscope
but I see some amber tri's finally
Crappy pic's lol but you can see the tri's real nice

Smoking the last of the Holland's Hope buds

 

[kuwl]

Well everything I read about yellow leaves says either PH level, over feeding or under feeding.
So with that said I think it is over feeding at some point
Flushing a couple of gallons of 6.2 PH water thru then feed at half a dose (12ml) of Botanicare Pro Grow
at the next feeding/watering
#1 n 2 will be done this week so I hope to get #3 back in shape and not fk up SB

 

[kuwl]

Kinda tired just harvested #1 n 2 Afghan Kush (10 wks)
You never really know how it's gonna be till you harvest that plant :)
#2 looked beat figured I screwed up
But after I trimmed her it was a sight for sore eyes Damm
The buds looked great I hope to get 1.5 oz for each plant
No Seeds and the nugs look, smell and are sicky delicious.
So all in all them 2 paid for my new light :) (weed here cost $250 oz I don't sell but it would cost me that much)
#3 is loaded might break a record harvest (for me) for one plant She be ready in 2 wks

#1

#2

 

[MIMedGrower]

Nice job! Plus couldnt cost near the $750 in weed to grow it.

Thanks and I got #3 and SB to go so I'm weed rich

In the drying tent Humidity 40% @ 68°
w/ exhaust fan and circulation fan

 

[kuwl]

1-12
Fed SB (Week 2 in flower)
1ml ProTekt Silicon
2ml Foliage Pro
17.5ml Botanicare Pro Grow
10ml /bitanicare Liquid Karma
PPM 880

Next feed will be with Flower Fuel with no ProTekt or Foilage Pro
Alternating feeds Hoping to get more tri's, bigger cola's :)

Light is 24 inches above top of plant
I also spread the branches out to get more light on the inside/middle

So far everything is going well in the drying tent
kinda like a balancing act to keep the temjp and humy
at 68° n 40% mine is usually between 64 n 71° temp
and 29-34% humy

Pic's of #3 (geting some nice girth on them cola's)
and Strayberry-Bannana is doing great!

Why are you mixing pbp and foliage pro?

Why are you mixing pbp and foliage pro?

Was using both during veg stage - but guess I should not?
Too much of something? I dunno
I am not good at the nuit stuff
Not even sure I should be using Foliage pro at this stage

i have used both all the way through but not combined. They are both complete base nutes. They are a stand alone product so to speak. And yes you need one or the other or if you prefer the bloom bottle instead or even mixed 50/50 for flower works well. But not two different companies complete base nute.

Hope that made sense. I am quite high now.

Thank you for the clarification
I think I get it, like one company product line
or the other co. product line
by using both I am being redundant
I will look at both to see which one
I will go with for this grow

money wise foliage pro takes about half as much to grow with as pbp. I tend to use 5 ml foliage pro and 10 ml-15ml pbp grow.

ok I'm beginning to see what your saying now
I was relying on PPM for feeding and not paying attention to
what was going into the mix nuit-wise

Back 2 or 3 grows ago, after I ran out of Fox Farm fert, I only had pbp products (Pro Grow an Liquid Karma)
but as time went on I read about more and more products from you and others.
So I brought some new stuff and started to experiment with no idea of what the hell I was doing lol.

Found this, maybe it is relevant? NPK stuff
Studies have found that the ideal ratio of those nutrients for flowering plants is 3-1-2. (That's 3% Nitrogen, 1% phosphorus & 2% potassium.)
So look for that ratio on the label of packaged fertilizers; anything close to a 3-1-2, a 6-2-4 or a 9-3-6 should be ideal.

 

[MIMedGrower]

Anything close to that works fine. 2-1-2, 3-2-4 even 4-4-4. Etc. and needs to include micro nutrients ( trace elements).

fed #3 and SB today both pots were dry as a bone.
I was going to wait another day as I usually do but not this time.

5ml Foliage Pro
15ml Pbp
5ml Cal-Mag+iron
PPM 875
PH 6.2
Temp 77°
Humy 40%

So far So good
