i was giving them dyna gro foliage pro during veg and bloom during the first week of bloom. by then they started to show some burn. I started using compost tea 1 week into bloom. didnt really noticed the nice little buds untill i started to add the bat guano. on friday i gave it some foliage pro(bad mistake) signs of burn increased. ima stop using synthetics. i gave it a flush last night and gave it some compost tea. i think ill be fine with just my compost tea.

sounds like you got your plan together .. only thing i could think of is when you were using the dyna im assuming you were following the label in the recommended usage? you should probably back off of it by like 1/4 as its still a relatively small plant and the root system is not massive like a full season of growing ... i think you should be fine with compost tea and TBH i would start using some molasses you can get it at any grocery store just make sure its unsulfered i have a post on here from ahwile back all about using molasses i'll see if i can find it for ya

Whats on the hose, looks like a switch or maybe something to slow release? Thanks man, looking good. :)
the thick black thing? thats the switch for my light. i stick a piece of fabric softener sheets at the end to hose to help with the slow release and the smell(which really isnt bad at all).

im gonna add a 2' t5 and hang it vertically in the back of the grow box. should give me an extra 2000 lumens and more light for the buds in the bottom.

deficiencies increased. dont know what it could be. foliar sprayed w/ water. hopefully that helps. added 2 cfl. everything adding up little bit over 10,000 lumens.

idk man its still tough to tell but if i had to guess it seems like calcium problem or PH problem

The marks on your leaves are from spraying her with the lights on and my guess is not using a wetting agent like dish soap when foliar feeding. Without a wetting agent water molecules want to bead up with other water molecules leaving perfect little magnifying glasses full of concentrated nutes on the leaves. When the water evaporates it leaves that concentration directly where the water bead was, which is why there appears to be little spots of burn. The yellowing at your bottoms could be accredited to your limited light sources and in-exposure. CFL have almost no canopy penetration so I would imagine that at the bottom of your plant the lumen reading would be close to nothing, all in all I wouldnt worry. Keep up with the compost teas its gonna be your best bet for some quality smoke and all in all its a pretty solid recipe. Remember that when you do add a fan to that little box what ever benefit your receiving, if any, from the diy Co2 will be lost (You can continue to use but I wouldnt go spending any of your budget on it). All in all I would say for what your working with the plant looks pretty healthy keep it up. Now on to the important shit, Im gonna need copies of the emails you sent to those various companies to get the free samples so I can forward them... Thanks :) -S0uP
