dude holy sheep shit, im pulling up a chair.. that is some serious scrog there my friend.
ya just mix good in the water 1st before adding anything els. its very high PH and will lock out all ur other nutes in ur base nutes. if u mix something and the nute soup turn cloudy looking somethings not mixing right.I was gonna pick up some silica to see if it helps with my burning issues.... you're saying always mix it with the water first? should it set for an amount of time before other nutes are added?
SB-- sorry to jack... had to know!
I think I may have figured out the delay in her as well as a few others in my 600 box.... Calbrated my PH pen and it was off significantly. My last 2 feedings were at 5.0-ish PH. Not happy with myself as I know I need to keep on calibration, especially since its a new(er) pen and I haven't used it very long.ya just mix good in the water 1st before adding anything els. its very high PH and will lock out all ur other nutes in ur base nutes. if u mix something and the nute soup turn cloudy looking somethings not mixing right.
No worries if I scrap her I will run another LED grow with a different plant / strain. I have an El Monstre that can't be stopped in veg right now, she would fill the screen in no time. I bought these lights specifically for flowering to keep the heat down and see what they can do. No idea what kind of yields I will get but at this rate I'll be lucky to get anything worth smoking lol.please do not throw her out.. i want to see that thing go til the end. so many bud sites and iv yet to see a straight led through flower grow. everyone always busts out the hid's after vegging and ruins the "led" journals. what kind of yields have you seen with the straight led?

Its just a matter of me willing to accept less than average results. Sucks but I have to accept that now if I plan to finish her.... Or I can count my losses and start over since I'm only 2 weeks in. I will take some pics in the morning, although I'm afraid to look at her when I get up lol. She's not doing much except looking sick. She was ready for water today so I gave her some 6.5 PH water with some fast acting lime on top of the soil. I'm hoping that might help to stabilize the PH in the medium and get her back to growing. Its barely made any progress this week honestly, the flowers are very small and I'm losing leaves. A flush is what she needs but it would be a major PITA.Post some pics man! Like 20 of them! Don't give up on your plant!!
What are you talking about its WAY easy. I dont use heatsinks dont need them. I wrote a DIY on them. I'm building a 12/20 light total cost is like 110 bucks total. Just been to busy with schoool to finish at the moment.its actually not rocket science but a really expensive fail if you fuck it up, especially when it comes to tuning the intensity of the diodes. If they're tuned too high you burn them out quickly. Also having a quality heat sink is very important. I looked into it and ultimately decided to buy some brand name lights and wait a couple years till I can get the materials a bit cheaper before I start playing mad scientist with my own rig.
I did a heavy trim tonight underneath to get rid of fodder. Tried leaving any sugar leaves in tact the best I could..... The more water I can get her to drink the faster I can have the PH balanced. Definitely changing the container and the way the container sits next time. I have the lights up high for now... A friend of mine has been running the same light at about 12" so that is encouragement that I will be able to drop the lights if and when she straightens out.It is currently a root cycle but we are approaching a top end surge in the lunar cycle
Personally, I think you just stressed it a little bit with the trim and it went into a root cycle so recovery is appearing slow. It looks thick in the canopy and while it's a little hard to tell in the purple light she doesn't look that bad. This may sound like hoo haa but seriously, a couple weeks from now your going to feel better I think.
Cheers
