so my 1st grow was good, (see my journal) 2nd a disaster anything that could happen did. i had 4 1000watts and 42 plants i got 2 lbs ?????? ya it sucked
so 1st grow was alll organic in roots soiless mixture. 2nd grow i used coco instead of roots. used same nutes. but on second grow i didnt have alot of time for them so somehow i got spidermites first ok no no biggie right? no i had mites from hell nothing i tried would keep them away neem, pyrithum, aza maz, mighty wash. nothing orgainc or omri rated worked. so i had to use a chemical to kill them i used spider mite knock out....and killed most of the plants also. So then i notice they are not growing??? so i look at the roots and poof i have root aphids...... WTF??? ok again tried to go omri and pesticide free ordered expensive stuff botaniguard. killed adults but somehow 5 days later found more aphids. so i used aza max, nope didnt kill em all they came back. i used go gnats. i used liquid pyrithrim nope came back. finially bought bonide (best shit ever) but u cant use if your in flower. obviously theese girls are going down as a experiment in bug removal mind you i am verry OCD about my girls so none of theese are infested id see like 1 or 2 spots on a leaf cut the limb off or if i seen on multipal branches i threw away plants. and the aphids i just found em way to late and id only see them like a few per plant but they killed the roots so they never grew up they were all flushed for 2 weeks with just purplemaxx and averaged 1 oz per plant dry.
So just started my new grow....... #3 usuing roots organics soiless mixture but im not going organic this time. gonna see if there is a difference in yeild quality etc. so im starting out with no bugs have all girls treated to make sure. i have again 10x10 tent 4 1000watt hps on 17/7 17 on 7 off. So here are my 1st problems i got nute lockout from switching them from organics to non organic nutes. so had to do a flush. then i had ph issues i didnt know that with non organic nutes you need to ph daily!!! organics hold the ph great! Now its tru=ying to see how much of what to give them. the #s on the bottles sre so different, and can i use some of my organics as additives with the floranova? its all made by general hydrophonics? and if you go by their booklet it says use 4ml per gal and the bottle says 2.5ml per gal so did i burn em??? ok so now this has all happened in past 2 weeks. So now i reduced the nutes to 50% added water to my resivoir wow what a difference they look beautifull and green and have grown about a inch a day sense ive had this worked out the last few days.
WOO HOO will add pics later.
