Hey guys, been growing for a few years for myself but now I have a small group of friends who I grow for (medical) as it costs too much at the dispensary for how much they need.
Setup:
Veg - 4x4 tent
1 - 600W Viparsectra LED
Flower - 8x4 tent
2 x 600W HPS w/cooltube and reflector, and using hortilux bulbs (I used a 600W and a 1000W this last grow)
1 - 12" oscilating fan
2 - 6" inline fans, one for each light - One fan stays on full 100% of the time
Lights on 80 degrees 50% humidity - reducing to 40% in the last 3 weeks
Lights off 72 degrees 55% humidity - reducing to 40% in the last 3 weeks
5 Gal fabric pots
Pro-mix amended with gia green, bokashi, worm castings and perlite
Nutrients: Earth juice Cat, Grow, Micro, Bloom, meta K, molassas
I typically don't need any nutrients until the 2nd or 3rd week of flower due to the amendments.
Strains this last grow: Gorilla Glue #4, Gold Rush and Gelato from seed, 6 weeks to 12/12 flip
So everything went great with the plants being big healthy and green. Especially my Sativa dom Gold Rush and Gelato. They were huge. At about week 2 in flower I started my normal feeding of earth juice but the plants started showing cal deficiencies. I upped the grow for a bit which helped big time and everything went great. I just harvested and averaged 5OZ a plant which is nothing to complain about. Biggest issue - My buds are not as compact as they should be which means I'm leaving bulk behind.
What kind of additives should I be using to firm things up. Earth juice has a list of like 15 additives which is just pure nuts. Do I just need aboost of cal/mag like botanicare or maybe adding earth juice's big bloomin guano will help. Any advice?
