Time to change the nutes.....

 

[jimdan1962]

Changed water and nutes:

Plant height: Tallest is 19”

Water for rinse: Only needed 6-1/4 gallons (1-1/4 jugs) for this one. Rinsed/ran clean water for 20 minutes.

New water added: 7 gallons

Nutes: 200 ML Bloom, 100 ML Micro & 7-8 ML Big Bud

Tube height: 1/2”

Light height: 14” from pvc to bat wing wire. To clarify, the bat wing wire is always about 1” above the tops of the tallest plants.

Final stats:

PPM: 2160

pH: 6.0 (went down to 4.9 after nutes went in so I upped it and it’s staying steady).

Water temp: 73

Air temp: 72

Humidity: 50

Plants are growing great! 6 “ in 7 days, pretty damn good!

 

[jimdan1962]

The ladies are looking extremely good! Little flowers are finally there!

 

[jimdan1962]

This grow is the one I showed earlier in this thread, started with the crappy little yellow cones.....

 

[jimdan1962]

25" is the tallest today, that means 6" in 5 days, damn these girls are growing! I don't think the high nutes are hurting since the growth went from 6" in 7 days to 6" in 5 days after adding the large amount of nutes (5 days later). The new growth is light green whilst the older leaves are a nice dark green, so far, so good!

Here's a couple of pics of my rig on a light rail. It looks a bit rigged but it's worked very well for a couple of years now! It's all about cord management!

 

[jimdan1962]

I use the adjusta wings, they've worked really well for me, I have a great ventilation system so the heat, at least in the winter, is never an issue. I've bought a small portable A/C for this coming spring/summer. We'll see if it will allow me to grow in the summer.

2-1000 watt lamps, only using 1 now due to a clone snafu...Is that a real term in cannabis speak?!

 

[jimdan1962]

I'm going to try some autoflowers for the next grow, found some fairly cheap Big Bang fem autoflower. Just want to see what all the fuss is about

 

[Michael Huntherz]

You're doin' fine, Jim!

 

[jimdan1962]

Michael, thank you SO much!

Just checked em' again and they're looking great!

Why not get a few good mums and just crank the clones out and straight into flower no veg? I see you have a couple of systems there you could harvest every 4 weeks if you found a good 8 week strain.

 

[jimdan1962]

I've got some good clone moms, just can't clone autoflowers though. Yeah, both those should've been full, tried a new way of cloning, only had room for 20. Next time I go off clones, I'll have 40 to plant.

Autos are weird, I do not prefer them, not sure what all the fuss is about.

 

[jimdan1962]

I've heard good and bad, I just want to try them out....
