I’m about a week behind you guys so may be irrelevant now, but I think everyone’s on the right page. To me it looks like a root zone issue most probably caused by excess salt build up. Having the hotter days has essentially increased the strength of feed. Salt build up can be nasty and show a...

Totally agree with Mitchician, I’ve just had the same thing happen to a few that were in smaller plastic pots, (coco) the ones that were in larger fabric pots were fine. Most of my experience is with hydro and coco, lowering nutrient strength when the environment is hot and dry is crucial or...

Make sure you scrog or throw a net over them 1st day of 12/12, with a thick even canopy it’s definitely achievable if that lights as good as it sounds 8-)

That sucks!!

Wow! Looks like you still have more time before chop, let it go as long as you can and let the calyx’s swell. Might not be so bad then!? :shock:

If your yield increases from 13.5 ozs to 20 ozs, it’s easily paid itself off after 1 grow!!

I’ve been looking at leds for a while now. The 550 was one that I was considering. Has had good reviews.

I’m hearing ya on the heat side of things beernutz! You may use less power if your putting out less heat... air con won’t have to work so hard! 8-)

You’ve just eased my nerves scaffasteve haha. Something to be aware of though! I just never really thought about it tbh. :roll:

Yea man, it’s like when I dose co2, if I get the temp nice and hot, with some intense lighting. They go into overdrive! You can provide them with all the water/nutrients in the world, the strongest best lighting, plenty of co2 but with out that warmth they won’t drink as much and in turn won’t...

You think the 550 rspec v2 would outperform your cmh beernutz??

Drinking everyday is good beernutz! When I’m doing a coco run I water a minimum of every 24 hours, any further apart with my waterings and they don’t seem to grow as vigorously. I’ve grown in dwc for roughly the last 5 years and have been growing in coco for a while now. One thing I noticed when...

Nice beernutz! I’ve heard of people using coco as a bottom layer for their soil mix to help with drainage..... not sure how beneficial this would be but sounds interesting.....

Yea makes sense saffa! Bit stupid for someone that can dose up to 1500 ppm of co2 to not consider that! Essentially I could be dosing co2 for next to no gains :wall:

I mix my own neem Luke, what was your thinking? Neem residue builds up? Never even thought of that! :shock: EDIT: sorry Luke I rushed reading the prior posts, thought that question was for me haha.

I’ve heard of and added perlite to soil when I grew in soil once upon a time haha. But was just thinking that there will possibly be layers of perlite throughout the root zone that will provide oxygen and easily available nutrient water for a while after feeding and the layers of soil will...

Thanks staffasteve! I’ll have a look now and order some. Always a good thing, being safe enough to spray right up till harvest!

Your totally right on the nute/ppm strength side of things Luke, Do you find when it cools down that you don’t water very often with the Pete base? I imagine it Could be affecting your yield if so Luke? For example if you water more regularly (to a degree) in coco the plants will grow...

good info there saffasteve! I get smashed with the caterpillars where I am, what single spray would you recommend to battle them? I currently am alternating between neem oil and perythrium. Cheers man!

Hey Luke, I’ve got some small plants going outdoors roughly a foot high atm. And in pure coco and have 1 in soil for a rough comparison. we’ve just had 3, 43 degree days! And one thing I’ve figured out is plants get less heat stressed when in coco as opposed to soil! The one in soil started...
