It's a 4x4 tent but i initially was using my 600w HPS so I only used a 3x3 footprint to maximize my lighting. I switched back to LEDs for a few reasons, most importantly they make it easier to control the environment. At least in my situation..
Yea, I only ever do clones of one mother plant at a time for this very reason. Trying to manage feeding requirements and the height of different strains is too much for me. I tried flowering 2 different plants last year and it was a miserable experience. haha
I backed my feed down 1.8 EC as i noticed my runoff was getting a little higher than i wanted. The plants didn't show any signs of salt buildup though. I think this strain doesnt mind heavy feeds from what i've read. I'll start tapering off my feeding even more in few weeks.
I'm using one of those Jain (?) 8 port manifolds with Orbit sprinklers. They both require a certain amount of water pressure. The drippers are adjustable but you need a pump with enough pressure to operate them correctly. I have 2 sprinklers in each pot just in case one gets clogged. Havent had any issues yet,
Forget about GPH when sizing a pump, the amount of water pressure (PSI) is what you need to concentrate on. As long as that's correct, the drippers should work at the GPH they're rated at. The trick is finding the right pump!
No worries. Where else can i talk shop about this stuff? hahaha
About the same here, my runoff got up to 2.7 EC when i got around to checking it. I also do weekly drenches with fulvic acid and my nutrients. Not quite a flush as i'm only running about a gallon of fulvic/nutrients through each gallon fabric pot every week. I assume that's what kept the buildup somewhat under control. It seems coco is pretty forgiving in this respect.My ec got to 3.0 cause I was feeding way to fast. Surprisingly I didn't have any issues as it got there twice. They got a couple nice flushes tho & reset. So pretty happy with the new dripper setup which cures that bs.
You would think?! But I'm not.. hahaLastly, you must be Canadian due to the hockey puck riser holder...
Looks awesome man nice work!Here we are at day 28. Things are looking great and the buds are starting to fatten up! Also started to cut back on N a little bit. Hopefully we'll be on cruise control soon.

Thank you. I hope this grow maintains its beauty. Hahaha.. I deserve it, my Sour Diesel run last spring was a nightmare and far from beauty. Take the good with the bad!I aspire to pull grows like this off...looking like a beauty tent full of
I'm mixing Jack's a little bit differently but the ratio is 'close' to 3-2-1. I'll mention that i'm using PureCal instead of Jack's CalNit. Purecal is 13-0-0 (18% Calcium) instead of Jack's 15-0-0 (18%). You'd just have to run it at 2.3g instead of 2. This give a little bit more calcium and the same amount of N as Jack's CalNit.dropped some N you say
May I ask what your current ratios of Jack's are?...for research onlyBeen at str8 321 albeit at different EC's as I ramped it up throughout the grow so when you say "dropped some N" I would be interested to know how you changed your ratio as it will drop the Cal as well.
I run it once a week because i dont want fulvic in my reservoir gumming things up. With just Jack's in my reservoir, i havent had any clogs or any funky smells. I'd think fulvic would surely bring the funk! I'm using Mr. Fulvic and notice the occasional piece of sludge in the bottle.You mentioned last week that you only run the Fulvic once per week, is that to save a few bucks? I've been using as directed with every nute mix. Maybe less is more, just checking but at .04 it seems to last pretty good, got just about 6 months out of small bottle.

That said, I'm not mixing Jack's by weight. I'm making stock solutions (concentrates) and measuring by ppm instead of messing around and measuring dry salts all the time. I do the math to maintain the 3-2 ratio in ppms which is close to measuring the salts by weight but not exact. I also only add 50 ppm of epsom salt to my mix in veg and early flower and bump this up to around 100 ppm as I get deeper into flower. I increase epsom as i'm cutting the CalNit, it seems to make the buds stinkier. But yea, I havent noticed any calcium deficiencies in either coco or promix when lowering the amount of CalNit as flowering progresses.
You could also make stock solutions in the 3-2-1 ratio and just measure out equal parts of the liquid concentrate.

As fucked up as the diesel run was, the smoke was still great! haha. It wasn't a total loss but I did have a plant herm on me. Luckily seeds were minimal!Sorry about your diesel run, my last that finished in Dec was horrible for many reasons as well.
Honestly, Jack's CalNit has plenty of calcium. I ran through a 25lb bag of it and never had a cal deficiency. If i saw anything resembling a rust spot, I'd slightly increase my overall EC and that would sort things out. I try to add the least amount of stuff.I did see now that you mention it where you said about using Purecal so that explains that, thanks. My newbie self added Kelp to increase the Cal a bit while I just left the N alone. Guess that worked ok as there was no issues other than it makes the water very dark and stains the crap out of buckets etc. I'll be looking for a cleaner product down the road. Cal phosphate maybe?...

If you're interested in how i calculate the 3-2 ratio in ppm, drop me a PM.
looks good, im right behind you just finished week 3We'll call it day 35 (actually day 34), things are progressing well. Buds started stacking up in the middle of week 5 just as I started to see some hairs begin to turn orange. Been slowly ramping up my PK levels a touch while maintaining a good amount of N. I'll probably begin to use Jack's Finish somewhere around week 7. These plants have a pleasant sweet citrus/berry smell, not much in the way of skunk or fuel type of smells. Can wait to see how they smell after drying.

This C99 is from Fleur du Mai seeds. I popped some seeds last spring but didn't get around to flowering any of them yet. Out of 5 seeds i wound up with 3 females. One was too picky with nutrients, even in veg so i tossed it and am now left with 2. These clones were cut from the nicer of the 2 plants.those c99 from g13? if so, im running it right now.
The leaves look similar to the ones that you have in your tent. I'll take a pic of the mother later tonight.it be interesting to see the difference between G13 and fleur du mai c99's
