When i grow autos ill go half grow half bloom during weeks 5 to seven and that usualy gets them through ok these 2 lemon ak autos didn't get quite enough and as you can see at 14 weeks they had a pretty dramatic fade/ nitrogen deficiency but the end product was brilliant. Don't give up on your...
300 watts is plenty, these autos are in canna terra professional under a viparspectra ks3000 at 100 percent 18/6. so thats 300 watts spread evenly in a 3x3. Ppfd range is 550 to 750 all plants are 5 weeks to 8 weeks from sprout. With autos you can run your lights at a lower setting and have...
Delps8 is spot on ive been using the Uni-T for a few years very good tool. Ive just upgraded to a relatively well priced par meter recomended by shane from migro he has tested its accuracy with the apogee unit and the comparisons are very close. This par meter retails in australia at around $500.
in late flower the tops of my plants usualy start tacoing and show sighns of heat and light stress as shown on the plant on the left but at this stage i don't worry to much as i know i am giving a them a good amount of light the tops of these two autos were getting nearly 800ppfd so a little to...
I use a small 500watt oil heater in my lung rooms and with a dehumidifier and 320 watt fixtures @ 100 percent power which provides just enough heat to suppliment the leds. If you can provide extra heat leds will perform well and in late flower its easier to drop temps to preserve terps and...
Its accuracy may be questionable but it would still help you adjust light height above canopy and intensity that and observing plant behaviour will get results.
Having a device to measure ppfd is the best way to know light distance intensity etc i highly recomend a UNI-T btu lux meter ive been using it for years and its only $30 dollars aud. Ive just purchased a par meter recomended by migro its a spot on quantum par meter he has tested it with his...
It's a good medium for clones this strawberry cheese had a good start and life in the canna didnt feed this clone till nearly week 4 so the medium has a good starting amount of N, did notice a little calcium def at this time but my tap water has an ec of 0.1 so ill always give a good starting...
Another tent currently underway 4 autos again 5 weeks in all in the canna terra these ones got fed at week 2. Had a bit of the potting mix left going full coco/perlite on runs coming up.
Current grow is 5 autos ranging from 4weeks to 5plus weeks 4 are in canna terra professional potting mix. plant front right is in coco/perlite the canna plants have had 3 feeds starting at week 3 using canna vega little cal/mag due to very soft tap water. ec mix is usualy 0.3 calmag 0.6 vega 0.3...
Hopefully so, im in australia so we don't have many options when it comes to soil or peat based mediums unless you make your own mixes, which equals bugs and pests. Loving the coco a bit more work cause i hand water but much better growth, health and yeild.
I went with the canna line of nutes canna vega for veg and canna flores for flower. My tap water is real soft like 0.1 ec so a bit of calmag in the mix also. I used canna coco a and b for the coco grow.
