looking good :)


maybe invest in a ph meter, IMO the colour chart is inaccurate, it measured crazy readings when i was using it, but then i got a ph meter and it works brilliant, you can get them for $20 dollas off the net

I've got some jock horror and have had 100% germ success. Never seen any purple on the plants. I got 7 females out of 10 total. I've also experienced the some tall some short with this strain but i've cloned the taller ones. The discoloration in your leaves could be a def in cal, mag or iron. What nutrients r u using? You might need to use some type of support nutrient. I use the technaflora line of nutrients, with them that would be 'magical' [name of nutrient that adds cal, mag and iron.] Never done ebb and flow but I grow mine dwc style. I'm about to try the aeroponic setup by stinkbud. With a 250 watt hps if you were a great grower and knew your strain well 1 gram per watt is like what you should be getting. I'd say though maybe half that? All depends. If you got 250g though that would be sick. ;] Good Luck Happy Growing.

p.s. don't veg too long unless you want very tall plants. These things and double and triple in height during flowering.

Your problem probably was the 5.0 ph.

How often do you water with your ebb and flow setup? I think I see gravel as your medium? I'm sure you most likely know people use a medium that retains water like hydroton or perlite and water it three times daily with flood and drain setups.

eh forgot to say. I start my jock clones and most strains I've grown for that matter out at 600 ppm and have never had nute burn. If you have a ppm tester check yours and if you think it's too much lower it or adjust it accordingly. Don't have any xp with those nuts.

just some guy
why are you doing the lucas formula? why dont you just go with teh recommended nutrient schedule? (I'd go half strength or maybe 2/3 strength to be careful)

what is the PPM and PH of your tap water? If you're going to use RO water, you will probably need CALMAG.

dont stress and do too much crazy stuff with your plants, keep your PH in range and your nutrients in the proper range, and you will be fine.

Is that GH you are using for nutes?The bud that is grown With General Hydroponics will give you a hella headache.






<-----------See me in my avatar pic got a pound and a half a plant GH is shitty
