Wait, so how many weeks are you vegging? 7?
2.5 LB off 2000W for your first time is fuckin stellar dude.
That's about double what I got my first time.

that was my first grow, topping once, vegging til 15" tall and then i flipped them, afghan skunk.
my 2nd grow i got 440 grams of og kush, but i vegged them like 2 weeks less, as i had vacation planned.
this is now my 3rd, i hope i get atleast 2 lbs lmao. vegged til 24" , a little too much, topped once.

Wow! What was your plant count?
I might have to fuck with that Afghan Skunk- how was the smoke?

I have 1K horizontal and 600W vert going right now, HOPING for 1.75 LB. 10 plants.

-- edit.

Dude I just saw your last pic. That's crazy. My buds look nowhere near as mature as yours and I'm on my 27th day of bloom.
What nutes are you running?
Are u giving co2?

Here's some more pics of the Afghan skunk , and the shatter my buddy made with the larf made 1500$ off the shatter alone.
It was a good smoke

Dude holy shit...
What



I use sensi nutes too.
Are yours PH perfect?
Shiiiit man.
i am using sensi a and b now yes, i believe they are ph perfect.

my first grow on the afghan, tard at the store sold me 20-20-20 crystal shit i started with, and some agrogreen fertilizer..
then i did some reading and for the rest of the grow i used voodoo juice 2 part..

after that i decided i was going to use something more well known and went with sensi grow + bloom two part, along with the big bud,bud candy for my 2nd i added in b-52 for this current grow.

I think I'm being too light with the nutes.. My last grow I had some over fert problems so my PPMs haven't breached 1000 PPM.

Are you scaling PPMs or just following the chart?
B52 is cool, just make sure you don't over do it, it's high in nitrogen. I think that's what fucked me up last time toward week 5.

thanks for the tip.
i follow my ppm, i have a meter i bought from a friend a year ago, and i thought the probe was messed cause it wasnt reading correctly, its 12 years old hahaha..
but it started working again.. i am going to water big kush today at around 1200 ppm. i have barley any yellow tips at all.

i slowly work my way up with the nutes, the big bud, bud candy, and b-52 help me reach over 1000, im using so much of the a+b, and its not cheap lol.
my last grows i had a little more yellow tipping, but not seriously bad or anything.
i know as long as im giving them some sort of nutes, its a good thing lol.. but i do try to maximize it a bit and look for yellow tips on new growth.
now that i watered with 1200ish, i will probably water around 800 next time.. then maybe again at 1300 or so..
im deffinately going to have to buy more nutes.. my a and b have one more watering left...too much $ on nutes...
id like something cheaper.. but this works.. so i dont wanna mess that up aha

i also let my soil almost completely dry out lol

See, this is where things get a little bit tricky, because I've read that you don't want to water them too much, due to salt build up. Give mine 3 days between a water, which may be too many... But my soil is completely dry every time I water.
I'm probably gonna pump up my PPMs to 1k-1.1k next week.

Use the fuck out of that bud candy man. Shit makes your buds so fat, great bag appeal.

That's weird that you use a lot of A+B... My A & B hasn't run out yet. Been using it for about 4 months now

dam dude, i water with a 2l juice jug.. and 5gallon pots i believe..
so i give a jug + half a jug.. sometimes 2 , and i get a lil runoff not much.

so 15 plants
4L x 15 = 60
4ml x 60L = 240 ML of each part a AND b

thats alot... my bottles are 1L each of a and b

You must be running some very tough strains to experience no problems watering at 4 ML/L start to finish! Everyone always tells me to run at 75%.

I'm just wondering where I must've messed up.. Sounds like we're running identical setups. I may have just been growing a sensitive strain... Or maybe I might've been too stoned and mixed a few A+A+B... Ha.

As of right now, I feed 10 plants, 8 in 5 gal, 2 in 3 gal with 4 gallons of water.

40 A+B
30 Bud candy.
20 other additives.

But you've encouraged me to try to push these dudes a little but harder.

ive found these charts online which i have tried to go by kind of

Code:
week 1 500 ppm
week 2 600 ppm
week 3 700 ppm
week 4 800 ppm
week 5 900 ppm <--switch to 12/12 ( I like to start my week count over when I switch to flower)
week 1 1000 ppm
week 2 1100 ppm
week 3 1200 ppm
week 4 1200 ppm
week 5 1200 ppm
week 6 1100 ppm
week 7 1000 ppm
week 8 900 ppm
week 9 flush


Nute Concentrations
seedlings 50-150 ppm
unrooted clones 100-350 ppm
small plants 400-800 ppm
large plants 900-1800 ppm
ive read ppl saying go up to 1800ppm in soil sometimes, but i try to go by this chart sometimes, and i start to see any yellowing tips, ill water just straight water next time, or very light nutes... then start a little bit lower and feel it out ya know.. im in full flower, so they are taking 4ml\l np.

also when i give 2 jugs, it usually takes 3 days before i have to water again, therefore feeding twice in the week

This is what I follow:

Early Vegging 300 to 400
Full Vegetation 450 to 700
Early Blooming 750 to 950
Full Mature Blooms 1000 to 1600
(this excludes the ppm of your water)

I like yours a little bit better. It's more detailed.

On the topic of new nutes though...
I got like $300 worth of RX Green Solutions for free, which I'll be doing a side-by-side to AN on starting Feb. They're also giving me some unreleased additives, so it should be nice to see how a new brand stands up to AN.

Last question:
What's your medium?
