Nice stuff guys. I will have pics in a couple days for you. Today starts the last two weeks. Day 48. I can almost see the finish line. I'm just mad at myself I only did two plants....
damn what a tree
yea,she cant stay out the fridge...lolI like them full figured gals!
thanks,she's lovin life
damn what a tree
Don't come to me if your plants get sick... BUT... I'm pretty sure the standard conversion is .5. Not sure, but yeah... think that's it. Also, you really want to go by what the plant says. I mean I wouldn't just run 1600 ppm for every strain during flowering. So really it doens't matter too much what the conversion is as long as you are only using one meter, feel me. If it says 1500ppm and that's too much for the plant... lower it. No matter what the conversion.Ok gotta question for anybody. I just bought this truncheon ppm meter it has both the .5 and .7 conversions. Im confused as too which side i should be paying attention too. Now i been seeing that 1600 ppm is usually about the max a full flowering plant will handle. Now is that 1600 ppm at .5 conversion or 1600 ppm at .7 conversion?
Thanks for your answer man! I been figuring out that it really is the EC that counts, not so much the ppms. But no I wouldnt just automatically bump them to 1600 tho. I know how even the different phenotypes from the same strain react different to the same levels of nutes. I did a test on the mixtures I been feeding some of my plants that got tips burnt and I was giving them about 700 ppm twice a week. So that a total of 1400 ppm giving me burnt tips. I was thinking lowering to maybe about 1250 might be golden...we'll see.Don't come to me if your plants get sick... BUT... I'm pretty sure the standard conversion is .5.

But anyways... it's a stupid system. Why would there be two conversion rates. Kinda frustrating for sure.
ANd about rep... I don't think it's that simple. My squares have been slowing down lately. The biggest thing I've noticed with rep.... the more rep someone has the more their rep counts toward you. So if a newb gives you a rep point, it's worth like 1 point. When DST gives it to you it's worth like 15 points or something. +rep for the question, lol.
Sorry Will, missed that question when visiting earlier, but our good partner Jig seemed to sum it up correctly. I guess you could just have a meter that read, Not Hungry - A bit hungry - Happy - Getting Hungry - Fukin Starvin...or something along those lines. Feed accordingly. Well if there was a choice in the shop, I would buy that one. I tend to just look at them and think, mnnn, need to do something, lol.Don't come to me if your plants get sick... BUT...

I done this through flowering with my MH and HPS. Through flower an MJ plant only needs 7 hours of full sunlight....anyway, I think for optimisation purposes I would run a cool tube system for the lights to keep them full on during flowering. But keep us posted, interested to see if the timing is affected. Thanks for the sharewhat up everyone? as always, spent a good amount of time with the girls this weekend. i had cut 2 jack the rippers, plus the few i pulled last week and needed to refill the box. now i've been having some temp issues and i was only running 1 light in my 2 light set up. in prepping the babies, i was wondering how i could fill my whole cab but keep the temps down. i remembered reading a artical in ht a few years ago about a guy running half is lights at a time flopping back and forth between lights throughout the 12 hr light cycle. i figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try, so i set my 2 lights on seperate timers that run for 3 hr 15 mins each. the lights overlap for 15 mins every 3 hours , and my exhaust fan runs the whole time. i checked the timers to make sure everything is running at the correct times and checked the temps every hr for the last 2 days. the temps are staying in the low to mid 80's (the same as running just the 1 light) and i'm able to fill my whole cab. now the artical i read, this system pushed back the harvest by a week or 2, but allowed the grower to keep everything full all summer long. i'll keep everyone posted on how this works out. might be a good solution for all us guys dealing with high temps.
Sounds goods.Im off to start trimming on 1 of my mountain indica's. I'll get some pics, it purpled out really nice!
