A sativa under CFL`s

[floridasucks]

use blackstrap molasses to flush... one tbsp per gallon. you can use it with the nutes as well.

that thing is a monster, major sativa so the buds may not get very dense, but its should fill in nicely.. just gonna take a few more weeks... very nice for CFLs. +rep.

looks like hydro what kind are you doing? and how many watts you got in there?

So you're adding this molasses thingy with your nuts as well ???

Yeah, I still feed according to my fertilizer schedule, but I just add molasses to the mix. There's been no sign of nute burn at all, the plants can't seem to get enough!

buy a 30x or higher magnifying glass. It'll come in handy when harvest time comes! You can find them online for seriously $4.

I have a 100x magnifier.

The only prob is the buds....coz they dont look that dense.....i am a lil bit woried about that, in rest, looks good.

There are .... a ton of Watts. without calculation I know for sure that I have at least 40.000 lumens

 

[trombon84]

but if I add some bloom booster...will that give me a more dense bud????

and another question. This is the 8th week of flowering and only now I can see some top colas/buds creating some christals. Is that normal???? so late????

well lumens dont add up. more lights with the same lumen output increases your lux. but more light is always better anyway.

i would say yea give the bloom booster a try, sometimes sativas can be big feeders.

it could be just in the genetics. some sativas ive grown did the same thing and then in the last few weeks they get real sticky.

its probly a 12-14week flowering strain so its got some time to sticky up. go ahead and try the bloom booster and some blackstrap molasses. it should help make the buds more dense and sticky.

btw what nutes are you using?

thats gonna be som fluffy ass weed

thats gonna be som fluffy ass weed

why do you think that will be fluffy???

 

[trombon84]

do you guys think that 85 F is to hot????

 

[Hand Banana]

do you guys think that 85 F is to hot????

If you only hit 85 a few times during the day, it's not a big deal, but growth slows significantly after 80 degrees. You want to keep your temperature around 75-80.

sativas grow in places that reguarly see tripple digit heat so i think yur fine especialy with a sativa

 

[trombon84]

coz the other plant that I had... I harvested only very very fluffy buds, and I was thinkin that is because of the heat. and i dont want the same buds for this plant. I really want a good harvest coz this plant is a monster. I wanna get the best at least from this one

It's possible the plant might survive at triple digit temperatures, but growth is completely halted. The whole point of growing indoors is to produce the best quality in the fastest time. If you let your temperature drift needlessly outside of the optimal range (especially to the triple digits), and your plant survives, you'll end up paying for it in time, yield and quality.

 

[trombon84]

so what are you saying is to keep the temperature below 80.

another thing is about the PPM. I mixed the nuts and the PPM was 1400. after one day, the PPM was 1600. That means that the plant takes more water than nutrients, right? and that means I have to add some more water, right?

here are some pics from today.

in some of the last pics you can obviously see that those fucking brown spots are just going all over. They started from the left side and now you can see them on the leaves from the middle part too. The CFL's are really close to them, but I dont think that they can burn that much.

 

[trombon84]

anybody knows what are those brown spots? and how can I fix it?
I flushed for 3 days and nothing happened. I think is a Ca deficiency ??? I also start adding Molasses to my solution. That has 5% calcium, so if thats the problem this should help, right?

any thoughts?

thanks

I wouldn't worry about browning leaves this late into flowering, you're almost done!

I dont know about "almost done"... I'm saying this because I barely see some crystals on the buds...
or the sativa does not have that much crystals on the buds???
and the hairs are still white.

so I put an exhaust fan right in front of an A/C which blows air from the A/C into my lil closet. Everywhere in that closet there are around 73-75 degrees EXCEPT the top where are 79-85 (where I have that "crown" of CFL's). So most of the time (on the top) is an average of 80 degrees. Should that be fine?
and its that alright to use air from the A/C as an intake for the grow room?
