Here are some pics from today, looks like my def. is working itself out
More hairs are showing up
The big plant is at 38" I think i must have gained about 12" allready by tieing back (may have contributed to the stress this plant was showing, not sure yet, I'm waiting for Earl to straighten me out,lol)

I will reduce nute load to about 800ppm even though no nute burn is showing, but my ppms are going up over night and I do not like that

Overall plants are looking great, the smaller one looks more and more like a sativa

Let me know what you think

I'm back, well, not much to post, everything is in flower mode, plants look great etc.

I'll put more pics up when the buds get going!

Unity GO PATRIOTS!!!!!!!

I run about 1800ppm total but 800ppm is additives, so my bloom nute load is about 1000ppm.
Your grow looks really nice!!!

He put me on the right track several times!! Thank God there are people out there with his kind of knowledge that are willing to share!!!
Thanks for the heads up though

yeah i base out at about 1300ppm of nutes and then another 300 of liquid karma. thanks for the comment on my grow.

I quoted both of your posts because it appears that you are saying that additives are not part of the nutrients, so they are not included in the nutrient ppm. I don't think this is right. Liquid Karma, Cal-Mag+, kelp, molasses, or whatever all add to the ppm of the soup, and that is what the plant is getting. Even an elixir of vitamins and hormones like SuperThrive add stuff to the soup that doesn't register as dissolved solids on the ppm meter, so can increase the chance of toxicity. And some organic nutes/supplements will not read true on a meter, so you may have more in there than you realize.

It's best to use less, more is not always better.

oh for sure. i always go by total ppm. i was just saying what my soup is. I dont go by the bottle's instructions really. I just see what my girls are telling me they want and i adjust ppm accordingly.

Hi potroast, yep you are right I gave poor advice, shit! I could have sworn that Roy at AN told me a while back that I had to subtract the addetives from the nutes, I stand corrected, that would not make sense as you state above. I talked to him again yesterday and he said that I must have misunderstood him. (or since they were seedlings the first time I talked to him the load may have been so low that he said to not worry about the addetives)

Do you keep going up with your nutes until you see slight burn, or do you stick with recomendation? Also, Ive been ppm drop overnight but have found out that even though the ppm go up about 15% my plants do not show signs of burn I thought this was the way to tell if they are getting too much or not?! They said it should stay the same about (prior to topping off) I fear if I reduce load to that point I will have a def!

I'm starting to get the hang, but man so much to learn, and sooooo many different opinions

I'm back, I'm starting week 5 of flowering and as expected they sure take a while . Not much to report, everything looks good (I think) I'm getting the hang as it relates to tying back, but I sure hope they stop pushing soon. I somehow manage to keep them around 41" I got another 13" of grow room but I want to save that for flowers. I have attached some pics that I took this morning, excuse the quality, but they were allready under the lights, plus there is not that much to see yet. I do have a shitload of buds within the first 12" down! I think that is very good

I will be following this as I have 2 seeds of Arjan's Ultra Haze #1 seeds trying to germinate now. Your plants look great and can't wait to see the end product. Are you doing a smoke report also?

Hi DND, lol! You know I've been smoking for 20+ years, and so far I gave a smoke report every night,lol.
But joking aside, I certainly will give a report on yield and smoke
Tell me, what are the differences between AH1 & AUH1, I didn't look into that yet?! I got to run right now, but I would love to talk some more on your strain.
