UC actual available nutrient profiles

[sealed138]

I guess thats what they mean when they say EXPLOSIVE growth.

i use protek as my up, all rezzes get about .5-1ml/gal at change out... and i swing all the way to 6.3 for the full pallet... you think i should swing higher? full swing takes about 50 hours and consumes about .2-.3 EC.

thanks for checking in ucme.

Everything looks amazing Man!
What hood brand and model are you using? I'm Planing to get something smaller so I can distribute the light better in my room.
Congratulations.

DS or anyone care to answer .

What are your general ppm/EC ranges in bloom/ flower?

Do you bump it up gradually ?


Thx

Sorry it has been so long since i have updated, things have been crazy.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

So, heres whats going on with the UCs.. they are insane.. I have never seen anything grow or uptake solution like these gurls in my life. The second room peaked at 5 inches a day (when i hit them with open seseme). Most plants are 5-7 feet tall and 4-8 feet around. The only way in and out of the rooms is to crawl.

And the dirty: I set solution at 1.6 ec and pH at 5.1 and within 3 days i need to replace 60+ gallons of water bringing solution to .4-.5 EC and pH to 6.1-6.3. Then i add back solution to 1.2-1.4 EC (what ever amount brings pH back to 5.1). I have never seen solution depleted like this in my life. Its amazing.

Room 1 (pbp, Cal-mag, aquashield, roots ex, plantacilian) at around 4 weeks:

room 2 (H&G, Cal-mag, Zone, Add .27) day 12ish...

Looking bombados.

Great job DS.

//Wow, I still cant believe the growth rate on those plants.

//Have you tried A.N?

 

[desertsquirrel]

I have used just about everything inside and outside of the hydro store.

AN is the only line i refuse to work with....

had to post some more pics... what has me really amazed is that the lower buds (im talking 5-6 feet from the top of the plant and 7-8 feet from the light are chunky as hell.) I have never seen anything like it before....

The close ups are the very bottom left part of the plant in the first pic.

 

[MEGA956]

//Nice close-ups, looks frosty.

//Have you tried bending the main cola?

 

[desertsquirrel]

There is no main cola. There are up to 30 per plant.

 

[MEGA956]

//True... But I meant to say the one's closer to the light's? But I guess bending
is only in veg time. I've seen some NICE buds grown by bending, they look like
little Christmas Tree's.
