This is the third time with this strain and same problems and advise? I'm leaning towards cal mag but I'm using 10ml per gal and every other strain I have ran seems just fine? Anyone?!
Sorry for the late reply...w is in reference to weeks time....also if stay away from r/o or distilled water...too many people make this mistake with good intentions. Neither have micro nutes in the quantities your plant needs in its early life, Iron being one of the mist important followed by...
From my understanding using 12/12 8-10w in the same space as 18/6 - 12/12 16-18w will yield more if your not conserened about plant count as it could take 25x plants for same space as a normal grow....I would concentrate on regular cloning and LST or Scrooge techniques if you want the best bang...
Ok for starters why are you running 12/12 from seed? You should be running 24/0 or 18/6 or some where in between....I would say that the distance from your light is going to be causing heat of issues. You need to take temps from the top if the plant, most people have a fan that blows between the...
Idk about a build up of mag but usually algae will cause ph swings locking out several nutrients...the easiest way to combat this is to remove it from the light source.
Also perlite is a must! Coco has a tendancy to get compacted and perlite prevents this also helps with drainage...stay away from vermiculite i always notice increased growth of algae and fungus when combining coco with it.
Sorry I'm late to this but I used to run organic only using coco...and FYI neither coco or peat are inert. Styrofoam glass or even clay would be a good example of something that is inert. Coco and peat do break down ...at a much slower rate but this isn't your problem. The problem is either...
I like it but instead of a dark period I'm using a low light period every couple of days for 6-8 hrs no definite schedule but every 1st full day back on high they seem to shoot out like crazy.
So here are. A few pics of diff stage training.. Odd thing I haven't seen signs of pre-flowers at all?!?
Scrogged mobly dick mother
White widow Clone week 2
Bag seed lst week 4
NYCD lst week 4
All but one is a clone but you really can't see much of it in that picture...funny you should say that bc I have noticed this on my scogged mother...my first time running 24/0 or scrog so I wasn't sure if that was normal....I'll post a pic in a min
Nahh I used to use styrofoam in a raft system outside which is basically puffed pvc won't break down after hundreds of years! Personally I like the soil a lil wet when I go to transplant, say day after water day and I also moisten the top just to keep it all together. Seems to come out easier...
Here are mine after 5 days mind you I'm on 24/0 atm....I didn't have one fan leaf that was more than 35% formed at the time and it looked like I murdered them.
Honestly it looks like you lollipops it? Best advise I can give you is to focus on leaves that are blocking bud sites especially towards the top middle...
I've been preaching this for awhile good to hear someone else who knows whats up! All the big nurseries use 3x with potting up because it is the most efficient!
Lol I have a cheap mh that started producing hermies awhile back! That cost me quite a bit! Idk it's a toss up amount of light loss = end product, the more
Expensive lights I hear work better for multi grows but the cheapos just get cheaper :s
Walmart less than $10 works extremely well! I love the fact that it keeps the highs and lows of each so I know the difference between day and night. Something I never considered controlling before using it.
That isn't telling us anything though, you need a temp check and I'm going to guess your going slightly over 80 which is bad! Here this should help---->>>http://cfl-grow-light.com/2014/04/12/cfl-lights-placed-best-results/
