I use Canna nutes for veg and flower, I just use the Terra Vega/Flores with a bit of PK 13/14 thrown in for good measure
Havnt needed any supplements aside from that so I dont really bother with them.
You mentioned temperature issues, is it too got or too cold?
I bought cooltubes for my 400 MH (veg tent) and 600w HPS (flower tent) and it really works for lowering temperatures.
Low temps in the "night cycle" will basically pause flower, I suffered it before. The plants still "aged" but didn't give any actual growth. They started popping nanners at about 8 weeks of actual flower (13 weeks of 12/12) from being overripe age wise but it wasn't mature bud wise if that makes sense.

My roof has been dripping with water during this last grow. Should of vented to outside instead of inside the shed..
An well, nearly 3 weeks in to flower now so I won't be changing much except perhaps leave the shed door open..

You could get a dehumidifier to stop the excess uisce in the air? High humitidity cost me 2 ounces of top quality cola last time...I won't make that mistake again!

Too much Eleccy for my liking...
The actual grow room is at 55-60% RH, its just the shed that the grow room is in... I've a spare fan and have opened the door that seams to be working...
Not to bothered to be honest, so long as all my tools in there dont go rusty...!!

my electric has been steep latley im paying about 30 a week im on a top up thing and if you hit 6 on it it tells you how much electric your using a KWH is a unit and its 17 p odds a unit for me ......with my lights on i press the 6 button and it tells me im using about 1.6 KW on average and if you hit 2 it tells you how much it cost to run your electric yesterday and im on about 3.80 a day now ....it was 4.80 last week when i had a 400 on 18 and 6 but i started fowering that wee bucket of mine.....i think its looking allright being honest ..
the thing with the top up as well i checked it last week and near shit myself seeing it at 3.5 kw but it was my kettle on them things fairly use electric and cause a massive spike

Just looked there and im paying 13c a unit, where as my bill is €128 each and every month until they have a look at it and then it may go down but more than likely up and then it'll be at that new price for another year... Kindda handy as you know where you stand..
Below are a couple of pics from 31st Oct of two i had "wildly"growing..
The one on the right is still going as I bring this in at night but as you can tell the one on the left had been left out in the cold, she also lost her life to my snips last night..!!
The one on the right swings in the balance when im harvesting her, she a has a problem of catterpillars at the moment, I must of pulled about 7 or 8 off her already.. little bastards eating my bud..!!
Not a huge amount of bud or anything but has been good to watch them grow... I kindda understand outdoor growing a bit more now..!!

Over and out Im off to get stoned before work...

savage pics man, theyre huge, what strain are they and how old?
I havnt been on this in ages, grew 2 Paki Ryders and got just under an ounce out of each plant, was great smoke, nothing like smoking your own!
So for the second grow ive gone for MI5, Paki Ryder and a Northern Lights. All autoflower feminised plants. Still running the 250w cfl setup with fan. Ive moved the setup from the wardrobe to the attic though because the smell was a bit much and there seems to be a bit more ventalation in the attic, i dont have any tubes set up, just a clip fan pointing at them, just have a bodge-job tent made from reflective material, rough but its working for me pretty well!
I germinated all 3 seeds on the 1st of october so should be harvesting the PR and NL in the first week of December and then the MI5 a month or so later.
Still really enjoying growing them and looking after them, this could get our economy booming in months if it was legalized, shame they never will!

i have the light setup so that it turns off between 11am and 3pm so when its off (cold) its daytime so its not as cold as a frosty night. Theyre 6 weeks old now, a very rich green colour and seem to be growing pretty well so its working for me! Theyre fed fresh well water too and seem to be reacting well to it anyway!

cheers guys they are cheese and 1 critical + the critical is defo more dense than the cheeses so the cheese are a bit deceptive looking but they are going allright they were put into 12 and 12 on sept 6 and been giving them bio bizz grow and bloom and last week pk 13 14....ever since i got my ec tester it showed i was only giving the plants about 0.5 ec so have been putting about 2 mil per liter of grow and 4 mils bloom in and brings it up to a 1.0 ec and 6.5 ph ....i did mess up the ph twice i think on them i noticed it in veg they didnt grow much and i think about 2 weeks ago but theve been drinking the water like hell so hasnt messed up that much

the Mi5 is nice and tall, took a big stretch over the past week, dont think theyre feminised seeds but its a female plant anyway so thats the important thing! The PR is a good bit shorter than it and the NL is slightly shorter again, but i put them up on biscuit tins so theyre up as close to the light as the Mi5 is. I chopped off a couple leaves which started to turn yellow, i read up on the do's and don't's of trimming and decided to do a little bit of it just to help the light get in at the buds. I only have one 250w CFL over 3 plants so have to make the most of what I got!
