[Justlovetogrow]

Week 5 today. I'm super excited about this try.
My plants never have looked this good. Working tonight so tomorrow they getting topped and tied down.

Glad to see ya back @Dadman86 and killing it mind you plants are looking awesome

Yeah dude well deserved! Putting in the work and it’s absolutely showing!

Week 6
Things are ok over here. These ladies are growing nicely. The 3 bigger ones are same strain royal runtz. Watching leaves to try and see when to add nutes. I have cal mag and fox farms grow big. Also some calcium nitrate but I've never used the cal nitrate.

But they look healthy and dark green so maybe just water for now. When should I feed them fellas.

 

[Dadman86]

Everyone got first feeding. 1/2 dose fox farms grow big. Full dose cal mag. Some leaves are getting dead spots on the tips. I think it's cal mag deficiency. Almost 7 weeks and no nutrition. These plants are the biggest I've ever grown. Hopefully I don't fuck up to badly here!

 

[BearWater]

Looking good Dadman. Nice, half dose for first feeding. I recently started feeding my current run and the first feeding was half strength maybe even a little less.

 

[Dadman86]

Shit took a turn for the worst. My big girl looking rough. Definitely cal mag issues. Smaller plants showing signs also. I fed with cal mag last feeding but think it might have been to late. I also have been using water that ph 8.6

What ph should water be? I'm planning on getting ph up and down and trying to treat water. So I need help and advice. I'm pretty sure I'm on right track with using Peat moss and perlite. These plants grew vigorously.

I ph my water/nutes at 6-7. Use white vinegar to ph down.

Damn thanks brother. White vinegar is cheap I like that ph down is 22 bucks a bottle.

Week 10 tomorrow.
Started feeding 3 tbs big bloom
1 tbs cal mag
Got ph kind of figured out. Calibrated my cheap ass pen. It's accurate to about .50 on the high side. I fed all nutes and water at 6.80 so figure that's like 6.30. Got rid of 1 of the smaller plants. Gave it to a guy from work. Hooked him up with a medium plant and my 100 watt phlizon light. Tried to plant a seed and see if this growing addiction spreads to him. So I kept the three biggest plants and were about week 2 of flower

Week 10
Took some pictures this morning. My 3 girls are looking decent.

Looks like they’re turning around for the better! Nice job! : ) I love that stretch!

Are you maintaining your food regiment?

 

[Bilber]

Hey Dad.....awesome so far!!! Peat/perlite mix work great.....having a ph pen or strips are kinda needed, if even to check where you're at when things do go south.....

After all was said and done, my run-in with ph issues, ordering upand down, I ended up adjusting with playing around with my nutes.....

Yeah man I've been feeding fox farms big bloom. It says 4 tbs I been giving 3. 1 tbs cal mag. Like 2 tbs vinegar brings it down to like 6.8 ish per gallon.

That’s great! I really need to up my nute game : ) it’s lacking lol.

 

[Dadman86]

These hoes are looking alright around here!
Got the calmag and ph issues figured out I think. My ph pen is shit. It's off by like .60 on the high side. So I subtract that much and figure I'm close enough. Got the light as high as I can. Turned it up to 75%
Got the environment ok. 78 temperature 55% humidity.

 

[Dadman86]

These hoes are thriving!
We been just letting them do there thing.
I got some little buds this time growing.

Week 12 of life today.
About week 4 of flower. I didn't log into my Google calender when I flipped. Oops
Took some pictures this morning. There getting a little powder on em. Looking decent to me. I'm posting this on the clock.

 

[Dadman86]

Maybe week 3 of flower. Damn I'm not sure

 

[2Water]

What are you feeding again? Upper leaves are a little early to be fading like that. Looks like a little deficiency starting to show in upper canopy which would indicate a lock out or deficiency since it isn't in the older growth
