flawless j-man. your 1st swell looks huge, as if they are loving their diet!

how is this run looking to you compared to last run both visually and on paper?!?!?

keep up the great documentation bro; we love it! very insightful .
Visually I'm not battling with Ca and Mg any more like I was with the 6-3-8 2Ca 1Mg now that I'm using the coco specific 5-4-3 5Ca 2Mg base.

The critical+ clones DEFINATELY have more weight to them at this stage than last round.


My mainline girls have some seriously weighty tops to them vs my topping and LST methods previously.

On paper??? Oh you mean that notepad I like to call my head lol.

Well the critical+ is true to form and just keeps screaming feed me. Lol.

When I used the 1.8EC feed I got a little start of burn here and there so I've been backing off the EC gradually over the last 2 weeks or so.

Currently down to EC 1.0 with runoff EC 1.2.

I'm keeping at 1.0 for the time being and that may increase on the second swell but doubtful.

As long as they plod along happily then I'm happy.

No leaf drop at ALL on these plants.

Some stats and pictures from tonight.
Day 37 of 12/12.

Temp hi 22.3C
Temp lo 17.5C is almost time to block a couple of intakes.
RH hi 46%
RH lo 36%
pH 6.0
EC in 1.0.
EC out 1.2.

My mix tonight contained only PK1314 and Mg with some ZYM and Rhizotonic. Plants are looking lovely as I think you'll all agree.

As green as the clones are when out of the room is as green as everything inside.


Whole room shots.




Clones.







Mainlined girls.


OG KUSH mainline


Critical+ mainline


Pineapple skunk mainline

I'm new to growing still, But what you see on her is the first signs of fading... I haven't lost any leaves on her yet, and I had a rough start to flower. Got a Def right out of the gate and then a basement flood shortly after...

I'm not new to growing and I stand by what I say. So long as you aren't overfeeding your plants flushing is unneeded. If you are then you still only need a week or two. Assuming that's an 8-9 week hybrid that means you shouldn't be seeing that for another 2 weeks or more.

Where did you get flushing from I don't recall mentioning that?... Well I am new still, so maybe I best stick to the helpful threads.

For what its worth I saw some pretty mangled plants in your sig there, wise one.

The idea that leaves should naturally yellow and die off is often espoused by the same folks that think flushing is needed. Green leaves are where your plants make energy to grow big buds. You want to keep them through the flower cycle.

There was a plant that burned from hot soil. I admit I fucked up. I'm trying to offer useful advice but you don't need to listen. Have a nice day.

I flush at the end of flower and only then. This is my second run through and I don't have things exactly "fine tuned", but fading is quite natural even though it can be prevented. I'm sorry but I didn't see any real advice in there, just finger pointing at 2 yellow leaves and making accusations towards my methods...

So how hot does a 400 watter run? Ambient room temperature would be around 73 F and using a cool tube with a 6 inch fan rated for 450cm about what range could I get it within the plants?

.For veg i started with cfls but soon switched to a 400w MH my temps were around 24-25 with the cfls but once i switched to the aircooled hoood my temps actually dropped to 22-23 about 12-15 inches from the canopy. I've even sprouted under the 400w mh! But there are 2 many variables to consider...room size,ventilation,airflow...

The die off and yellowing is generally early scenesense (sp) brought on generally by a deficiency.

A plant grown long enough will enter this scenesense mode if taken too far into flowering. Usually harvest time is before scenesense occurs or just at the start of it.


For example GHE have a product called RIPEN and all it does it trigger this response in the plant to try to mature quicker.

There's some helpful info, thank you!... Exactly as I said I got a deficiency very early into flower.

Mr duck I never said you were wrong, but there's a difference between being right about something and being helpful. I simply stated where I'm at and that I had some issues, and you start gallivanting around about flushing and how I don't want to listen to your "advice". What was your advice? Leaves shouldn't be yellowing yet? That's a statement followed with zero information or advice.

Thanks for the info Jonda, sorry to further sour the thread...
