Is the leaf damaged from me misting during lights on?

 

[chipmunkproof]

Lookin Cool! Are you planning on filling the whole room at some point? It seems like alot of that light is scatterin

 

[Cmatthiu43]

Absolutely. I'll post my photoshop concept in a moment.

Edit: Anyone know how to remove my signature? It's from years ago... lol

Do you have multiple plants in each bucket?

 

[Cmatthiu43]

Just one per bucket.

 

[a mongo frog]

Are u going to use bud xl and shooting powder?

 

[Cmatthiu43]

By all means, educate me. I thought my Big Bud was my Bud XL?

Thats my understanding, the Big Bud is the Advanced Nutrients version of House & Garden's Bud XL... I better find out once I start feeding on my own next week

I'd like to go all indica-dominant w/ a half-full room and x2 600w lights thrown in. About to post my photoshop'd concept.

nice, I have the same going except I have additional 100watt 5000k
daylight bulbs for the sides of the plants and with your size plants you could
occasionally bring them outdoors for sun weather permitting of coarse.

Being in San Jose I should be right on schedule to start doing so in a couple weeks.
Scared to death of spider mites, the only reason I probably won't honestly...

Currently: Week 3, Day 6



Changes...
Feed Schedule:
Day 1: 1100 @ 5.9
Day 2: Fresh @ 5.9
Day 3: Skip

Hardware:
Carbon Filter
pH pen
ppm pen
-- All came in from Amazon.com
Notes:
Trimmed away all damaged foliage, reason being... I can now document changes that'll be traceable in my journal.
My belief is that misting during lights-on was causing burns, I'm still feeding w/ a small amount of chlorine in the water... we'll see if I get a repeat of damages endured by the end of next week. By then I'll have my RO unit hopefully, and this will all be behind me.

Things to do:
Mount 6" Fan & Filter on ceiling. No ducting to an exhaust necessary, I maintain a temp of 72 as is.
Set up cloning station in closet, need to cut from mother for next cycle within a week.
Mount light in center of the room, preparing for the x2 600 watt lights that'll be on each side, filling half of the room.

Good luck! I have heard that GSC yields horribly.

[Dwezelitsame]

[Cmatthiu43]

Patient 2 Patient in San Jose. Cloned from a beast mother plant... I tried researching today when going to my breeder but he said it was basically impossible to trace/truly answer.

 

[Dwezelitsame]

Cheers,
Produced a picture of a finished bud from my breeder's last crop. Take note, a bit of temp shock pre-harvest... and clipped over a week early due to a potential mold concern.

Looks nice! I got some GSC beans from an eighth at Elemental Wellness and popped them. 4 weeks in and they seem to be very stable its the durban poison cut. Hopefully you get blessed with some beautiful buds. I am finding its already starting to turn purple and the leaves are a dark green beautiful beautiful... GLUCK
