Btw I just got a hair pruning the other week, My Lady told me I was looking like a caveman
I mean let’s not scare anybody and make it complicated. Perfect conditions only entails introducing CO2 to counter light stress from it. All your other processes stay the same.this is true only to the point of light stress, than its not true anymore.
to get 900ppfd peak flower with led you need to have everything dialed in perfectly and craw to that value trough flower otherwise the risk of light burn is almost 100%.
Yep with CO2 you raise even more temps, EC, watering, and light 1000-1200ppfd sometimes even more depending on cultivar.I mean let’s not scare anybody and make it complicated. Perfect conditions only entails introducing CO2 to counter light stress from it. All your other processes stay the same.
I had to figure that out over time on my own, and I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to figure out. It's perfect how you worded it. I've never seen how-tos that made this point -- kudos!Here's my guess.
About over and under watering: Over-watering is watering too often, not giving too much water at one time. In soil, I water to run-off when the pots get light. You're in big pots for the size of the plants, so your correct watering frequency should be a lot longer than you might expect.
The mix that works really well for me is Buildasoil Recipe 3 and and Buildasoil Craft Blend for future grows in the same soil. It's really simple and you don't really have to measure anything because your plant trades sugars with microbes for things it needs.This is good stuff. It would be good to see a comparative grow, all things being equal, with 1 being your basic, "regular" soil that most novice growers would buy or put together from a few fairly common ingredients.........the other this more "living soil", one that's built the way you're talking about, with all of the ingredients that make it happen. I'm going to assume that there's going to be a meaningful, obvious difference, otherwise, why do it?
The next question is......is there a relatively simple way to achieve this? Most growers are probably not going to buy a dozen or more ingredients, or spend time mixing up concoctions and getting very science-y.......
If you had to strip it down and tell someone the easiest way to achieve the goal of putting this kind of soil together, with the least amount of work, ingredients......granted it may not be as great as doing all of the work, but what would you advise? Let's say I've already got a few good bags of soil, perlite, peat moss.......what could I add into this mix that would pretty much get me there?
Yes.Good morning. Can I get some seeds.
Yep the flowers are looking great! They gonna enter turbo mode after week 4 just watch lolThese were taken today, which is day 72. I'm not speaking from experience but some of these bud sites have excellent structure don't they? I mixed 12 litres of water with half a dose of the Fox Farm trio and 6ml of CalMag. I adjusted the water to PH 6.3 and it's temperature was 23 degrees Celsius. The EC was 1.32 without having to adjust it and I was happy with that.
The light is 21" from the top of the tallest stems and 24" from the shortest, at 75% power, which equates to around 550 to 630 PPFD. The light cycle is between 77 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit, with a RH of 47 to 55% and the dark cycle is 72 to 77 Fahrenheit and 40 to 47% RH. I'm coming up to the end of week 3 of flower so it should be time to lollipop these soon?
Weeks 4-5-6-7 go with EC 1.5 , calmag at 6ml/12L is fine, adjust ec with ~10% more FF trio.These were taken today, which is day 72.

They are hungry 1.3ec is not enough for plants at that stage!These were taken today, which is day 72. I'm not speaking from experience but some of these bud sites have excellent structure don't they?

Yep I saw It, don't bother with runoff readings really, just raise feed to 1.5ec next feed and forward.Did you notice the yellow leaves on the plant on the left? It's mainly underneath the canopy that the leaves are yellow but some of the top ones are too. I tested the runoff from that plant and the PH is 7.4 which is way higher than the other two. The plant on the right is 6.9 and the plant at the front is 5.7 so there must be some sort of nutrient deficiency with the yellowing plant? What should I do?

Nah runoff and media EC will be always higher than what goes in, pH will also be always different too. We just have to accept that as a fact and don't bother with it, principally growing with organic soil.I never tested the EC of the runoff, only the PH, so it's going to be difficult to diagnose the problem now.
See any sign of light stress/burn?These were taken yesterday morning just after I lollipopped and watered them. The plant on the right hand side still needs some more wok but it was difficult to reach it. The light is still at the same intensity. The tallest buds in the centre are getting as much as 650 PPFD but bud sites that are lower down or around the edges of the light are getting as little as 350. Should I increase the power of the light now that they're in the their fourth week of flower?

Have a light off /flash on photo?
Do it during lights on period ;-) just turn light off snap 2or3 flash pics and turn lights on again.
Cheers
