Hi,
I've been at this for almost 2 years now but haven't broke out of beginner mode yet and I'm looking for some guidance.
I usually grow 6 plants under a 1000w light in a 1.5 m2 tent using a scrog but am struggling to get more than 2.5oz per plant. I'm reasonably pleased with what I get as its a real good smoke but I think I'm getting less than I should.
My process starts with cuttings or seeds for around 8 weeks under flourescents which go really well and grow to around 12 inches. I use ionic grow for coco as I use cana professional plus throughout the grow. I also lollypop the first 6 inches or so.
Next step is into the tent using 20l pots with cana pro plus and about 30% pearlite. I use full strength nutes(ionic grow) at this point which according to the guidelines is 7ml per litre and pH to around 5.8 - 6.0. I hand water the plants when needed which at this stage is every 2 - 3 days. I'll cut away the stringy, weak looking stems and sugar leaves that are hanging underneath the scrog net in veg.
After 3-4 weeks and once the net is filling up nicely I'll saturate the pots in plain pH water then switch over to 1000w 12/12 a few days later and start them on full strength ionic grow 7ml/l and water with nutes every time every 2 days.
I think its at this point things don't go so well. I usually start getting quite a few yellowing leaves, then a few die off throughout the next 9 weeks. The main colas are usually quite thin and grow to about 4 inches and the rest reduce in sizedown to popcorn. The last 10 days is flushing with clean pH water but they do start to droop at this point and tend to lie on the net rather than stand proud.
Like I said, the end result is a good one in terms of qualify but they just look sorry for themselves in the last 4 weeks.
I'm using greenhouse seeds cheese strain.
Hope someone can give me a bit of direction!
