[dr.roots]

Here is a lemon larry OGK from seed... 2 month veg at
about 48 days flowering. Let me know if its ok to post
her up... I'll jerk her down np just give me the word:

I used this metal yard stick as a reference point...
you can see that she's exactly 3 foot tall.

I am in love with my lemon larry's... going to fill half the
room with them and the other half with purps.

Edit: want to add that this was taken during lights
out with the flash... was my only option at the time.

Also, this got 10ml per gallon of cal/mag from day 1
flowering.

Wow those looks AMAZING! Thanks for posting man!:smiley_joint:

 

[revfunk]

hola rootz.........great show!!!!!! You're gonna LOVE these in a few weeks hehehehehehe

Like swerve was saying..................here is larry with a 4 week cure......................her cal/mag was tapered off during the 7th week........................but everything else stopped week 6 ;)

[dr.roots]

Here is a quick update at 44 days.

Shooting powder at 2.5 ml's per gallon

Calmag 15ml per gallon

Reduced nitrogen in base nute.

[Swerve]

they look dank just need calmag.. and ya might wanna raise ur lights a tad bit.. i see some yellow o the top new leaf sets indicative to light burn...otherwise bloom boost them like no tom... watch them swell and get fat

 

[saldiado]

thanks for the reply swerve, prolly just pick up the cal mag

 

[smokedherb]

good work dr roots,looking great

 

[Swerve]

yup calmag is essential with any og or chem.....

 

[dr.roots]

Week 6-7

So the girls are at 47 days now guys.. I was looking for further guidance to growing great OG! :)

So what should I do at this point. Here is a list of all the nutes in measures I use for per gallon:
(House & Garden nutrient line at my personal measures)

-5ml Aqua flakes A+B (stopped using aqua A which was Nitrogen)
-4ml BudXL
-5ml Protekt
-15ml CalMag
-15ml Botanicare Sweet
-0.4ml Drip Clean
-2.5ml Shooting Powder



Bubblefunk I see you taper off the calmag at week 7? Is this a solid plan for some SFV, and Larry OG?

Should I taper off any or add nutes?

Thanks for all the help everyone. Pictures should be up soon! :sun

[herijuana]

i'm going to but calmag today.. still waiting on some gear but this is very helpful.. everyone looks good..

 

[herijuana]

is calmag organic?

 

[Swerve]

they do ahve it organic now omri approved i believe..

 

[dr.roots]

Day 52

Yo swerve! I need some tips...

Im at day 52

So what should I do at this point. Here is a list of all the nutes in measures I use for per gallon:
(House & Garden nutrient line at my personal measures)

-5ml Aqua flakes A+B (stopped using aqua A which was Nitrogen)
-4ml BudXL
-5ml Protekt
-15ml CalMag
-15ml Botanicare Sweet
-0.4ml Drip Clean
-2.5ml Shooting Powder

 

[Swerve]

increase your bloom booster and cal mag..for the next 7 days then drop everything like a red headed step child and get ready to flush

day 57

Day 57 update. Feeding only Shooting powder. No other nutrients.

Let me know what you all think. Doing good so far?:bong2::)

turns out.
How long did you veg the Chem-D? She's going to be a monster!!!!

Later I N Hail

Looks like some dank buddy for sure.. You are doing excellent so far.
My buddy Fear is using that house n garden nutrient line up.. Looks very similar to his, makes the leaves look like shit imo.. Are they all hard and crispy like??
GH 3 part will get you pretty growth threw out your WHOLE grow.. Yup that and a lil CAL MAG you wont see that leaf curl burnt up willie:).

I believe Soulie and Swerve are using GH 3 part as well:)

Here is a simple GH 3 part that I am using. This one is Tweaked a bit bye my buddy Useless.

I now have a RO unit so my shity hard water method/process is not needed anymore.

Here is the nutrient regimen I use and how I control PH with little or no ph up or down...

So OK - feeding schedule week by week. This is the GH weekly feeding program, slightly tweaked. I will only call out the volume of each part per gallon of water in the following manner: grow, micro, bloom, ppm range. Example - 5-2.5-2.5-400/800 would mean 5 ml grow, 2.5 ml micro, 2.5 ml bloom and a ppm of 400-880. Remember it's per gallon. You Euro's can easily convert to liters. 4 liters is just a little bit over 1 gallon. It should also be noted that I use the hardwater micro due to my tapwater. I suggest using the hardwater micro in place of the regular micro if your tap water is over 200 ppm total or you have over 70 ppm Ca. RO water users should use the regular micro.
Veg -
week 1 5-2.5-2.5-400/600
week 2 10-5-3- 600/800
week 3 12-6-3 800/1000 (continue week 3 formula if additional veg time is required.)

Bloom
week 1 6-6-10- 800/1200
week 2 3-7-12 - 1000/1400
week 3 3-8-14 - 1000/1400
week 4 3-8-16 - 1000/1400
week 5 (discussed in detail below*)
week 6 0-7-20 - 1000/1400
week 7 0-6-20 (see bleow**)
* During week 5 if not using a booster like Superbud, Bushmaster Kabloom etc. run 2.5-7-18. I use MOAB (Mother of All Blooms) or BushMaster at 50% of recommended strength, and use 1.25-3.5-9 for the fert base.
**If running an 8 week strain you should only run the ferts during week 7 for a maximum of 3-4 days. This gives you 10 days for flushing.

The ppms work out almost exactly. I tend to lean toward the lower side of the range, unless I have a really heavy feeder that I know can handle it.

At every ressy change out I add in 5 drops per gallon of 35% food grade H2O2. During flush use ph adjusted water at 5.5-6.0
I will add epsom salt at week 1 of bloom if the plants are heavy feeders AND I see signs of an Mg def. Otherwise I won't use it. The only time I have ever had Mg def is during transition. The GH 3 part is a little low on Mg, but the PBP and Canna nutes are way lower.

Now- how to control your PH...
There are a couple factors that cause your PH to drift. The most common is running the nute solution too strong or too weak. If it's too strong, your PH drops. If it's too weak the PH rises. You have to find the balance point. If you find that the formula above is say, a little strong, and say you have a 20 gallon ressy, mix the nutes for 18 gallons. If it's a little weak, mix it for 22 gallons. You follow?
The other common mistake is mixing your nutrient solution and trying to adjust the PH right away. You have to allow time for the ph buffers in the nutrient solution to do their job. Mix the nutes up, and bubble or circulate for 12 hours before even looking at your PH. You will find the PH to be almost right on target.
I use little or no ph adjusters. (Except during flush). I use tap water, with a starting PPM of 300-400 and a starting PH of 7.4-9.0 (Thats crazy you say! The water is too hard, you will never get stable PH and you will have too much Ca, causing a lockout of Mg!) Bollocks I say.
Every week, on Friday I drain the ressy and fill with plain water. I let that run overnight giving the plants a little flush. This also allows the chlorine and ammonia to evap. On Saturday morning, I mix the nutes into the ressy. I DO NOT adjust ph at this time. Let that run as is overnight. On Sunday morning, I check ph and adjust if needed. Usually don't have to.
Doing things this way has saved me from constant PH drifts, and using about 150 ml of ph down every ressy change, and a little here and there throughout the week to keep it in the desired range. Now, the most I ever have to use is about 30 ml.if any at all. (I have a 35 gallon ressy btw) My Ph stays at a constant 5.5-5.8.

Well, that's how I do it. Bring on any questions, happy answer them for you. Flamers/trolls feel free to express yourself. I am happy to put you in your place.
Cheers and good growing to everyone.:)

I have 4 of the chem's going myself.. She is a hefty gal, the stretch is pretty good.. Looked the same as yours in veg, I am now going into week 8 with her tomorrow. She is a real Power Pig just reaking of chemy fuely funk

 

[Swerve]

looking good. that Chemdog D bush is a monster.. and the sfv is looking good just the first run or so of it takes a sec to dial in no worries you will trip on your next run..and yea gh 3 part is the shit..i use micro bloom and cal mag with hygrozyme and then luquid koolbloom and powder koolbloom. thats all

 

[redroot]

respect dr roots. beautifull garden.looks like your going too have fun trimmin up. some nice looking strains in there brother.
