Cali Connection Alien OG

[shadow22]

great job, I recently received a 6 pak cali con, alien og, I can't wait to start mine, hope all goes well, from what I've seen on the net there is some good yielding phenos out there,

I could but I didn't want to veg any longer. Want see how it grows and if I'll even like it before I spend too much time and money. If it's good I'll fill the entire screen before I flip. In pennywise it took around 6 weeks to fill.

Did some supercropping on the stretchers. It's getting kinda lime green in the middle. I've been going light on nutes this time. Feeding every other watering instead of every time. I think this "soiless" still holds some of the nutes in and I tend to get some burn later on.

Stretching again. Stubborn.

Looks good man ! Did you make that led ? How long after flipping 12/12 did you continue to tie her down ?

Yeah i built it. This is my first run with it. I stopped bending after 2 weeks or so. I have enough height now with this light that she can grow 2 feet with no problem. here is a link to my led build https://www.rollitup.org/t/new-to-led-looking-for-assistance-designing-a-light.894013/

I run soiless as well. I really like feeding every time. I just run lower ppms so i can feed every time. I just did a whole run without any substantial runoff at all. Probably a 3.5 month veg, 7 gallon containers, running between 350-650ppm in full bloom. Id say the plants actually stayed a little greener than when i was smashing them with700-1000ppms and giving good runoff and the odd flush.

Bitch continued yellowing so I checked my meter. Of course it was off by 2+. No wonder I had to use so much ph down. I was probably getting 4.5 instead of 6.5! Mixed a fresh batch and flushed her out. Fingers crossed. Hope she regroups.

 

[STLbudz]

Looks like we both ran into problems this am , 1 of my clip fans fell and broke a branch and few day into flower !... With the proper flush there going to love it . 9.7 tho WOW lol , good thing you caught it asap and it's soiless ,quick flush/fix

 

[selfmedicator462]

Night pic. Already showing the green coming back. Lesson learned. New ph meter time. $40 and lasted 3 years. Not gonna trust it.

 

[selfmedicator462]

Recovering like a mofo!

 

[Alienwidow]

Damn right it came back quick. Wowza.

Thinking about using some lime with my promix next grow. I found some locally but it's a granular form for use on lawns. Not sure if it will work.

Ive never used it so i am no help to you on this. I stick to bottled stuff because i get really good deals at the store. Those plants really did come around fast for you man, nice work. Edit..plant

 

[STLbudz]

Havnt used promix in a while but I remember adding lime and some other soil conditioners. It helped out a lot Ive never needed to check ph with soil or promix .wish I could do the same for coco

 

[selfmedicator462]

The bag says there is already lime added to the promix but doesn't say what kind. I did finally find powdered "garden lime".

 

[selfmedicator462]

Should I be trimming all these larger fan leaves? I've only trimmed below my screen in the past.

 

[STLbudz]

?... I'd cut the leaves in half for sure. If it's blocking any juicy budz

 

[selfmedicator462]

Yeah there's a lot of buds underneath. I've always been kinda scared to overtrim but I've seen pics where guys trimmed everything but the sugar leaves damn near.
