Everything is looking sweet with the upgrades. Love the space! Question for you with your Mega Crop amounts. 6g per gal on the package says it's supposed to come out to 1.7 EC. With the extra 5 ml of CalMag per gallon what is final EC for feeding in flower? I have to imagine it's a bit over 2.0 EC. Have you measured it? Keep up the awesome work!

I live in a non-legal state. I was "supposed" to just have the 4x4.
Then things kept growing. :)

It's also a lot easier for me to control their environments during the different growth stages by using the tents along with humidifiers/ dehumidifiers.

I like your style with the tents. So much more control with all elements of the grow. The benefits far out weigh the open room. Pest control weight high for me on that’s list. I have never had spider mites growing in tents. It’s appears to me easier to dial in a tent then a whole room. And the smell might be too much in an open room. For me allergies are a huge concern and containing the plants in a tent is a huge benefit. I love your grow room. If I had your grow room I would want to skate board around the tents and blast music and Really decorate it up crazy like with skulls and graffiti and black lights possible spray paint the floor with stencils of skulls and marijuana leaves.
 
@.Smoke good looking setup and plants. I am a big fan of SIP’s but have never used a Hempy bucket. Can you explain to me what it is and how it works compared to a SIP?
Thanks

2.0 seems about right. Before I got my RO my levels were up around 2.3 and were just fine.

Have u ever had ph drops in mid flower with Hempy buckets? My ph in is 5.8 by next morning it’s 5.3

Drops, no. I had to deal with a rise before I added the RO though. I use 30gal Brute trashcans for reservoirs now and have been using my 350ppm well water since my new RO filter hasn't shown up yet. Not sure if its because of the size or what, but I'm not really seeing much deviation nowadays. My water does sit for about a week before it's used though.

I could never get my PH to stay steady when I was using straight tap water though. Would fluctuate from 5.8 to 6.5 in a couple days :( (7.2ph out of the tap)
 
Man I wonder what’s going on maybe I’m over feeding? I’m only at 500ppm in week 4 flower and I’m seeing burns
 
Ya me too thing is last grow with this strain the same thing happened right at 4weeks when the stretch stopped so many shges an extreamly light feeder and she doesn’t need 600ppms any more because she stopped stretching? She’s a low yielding strain as well

Hard to grow and low yields? :confused:
Hope the buzz is worth it.
 
Finally starting to see some payoff from running a crap ton of different strains.

Ended up with 18oz of smoke from the Gorilla Glue. Not including the 6+ oz I had to throw out due to PM.

Had shut everything down grow wise for the last month or so due to some medical issues, but I have 2 White Widows germinating at this moment.

So, more to come soon...

So, made some changes.
I'm now down to one 4'x8' tent running 2 1000W HID with 2 plants in 10 gallon hempys.
Both are white widows. Should see around 1.5 lbs hopefully per plant @ harvest.

New upgrades inc for the tent also. Only getting 1 atm because I put Amazon out of stock, but come Friday I'll have the first replacement for my Sun System Yield Master Hoods.
Here she is... :)

I've also devised a new feed I'm going to try out. It uses the new 1 part Mega Crop as a base, mixed with a Lucas Formula Solution and just a touch of CalMag.
Intrested to see how it works out. I'm hoping I can use it the whole run.
