Crazy!
You must be doing something (everything) right

What, may I ask - is your magical personal Nute mix?
I'd love yr soil recipe too

To have plants that look 4-6 weeks in after week one is something worth sharing!

,It is Organic Plant -Tone bought for about 10 dollars NPK on it is 5-3-3-I also use superthrive 1-2 times a month,I also use Pennington ultragreen plant starter,has iron ,zinc,boron,manganese and B1 ,,I also use milk at a 75% water mix and some epsom salt if I feel they need mag ,,,Sometimes I have substituted my plant tone for Alaska fish fertilizer,which has NPK of 5-1-1 ,I
this is the first time I have purchased any bloom agents ,I just got some B51,some Big bud ,and bud candy,never used them before,am liking the results so far,
For flower I just bought tiger bloom as well will be my first go with it as well
during Veg 24 7 lights was feeding them every 3 days or so with low dosage whole veg,unless I see signs of crows claw then I back off ,but most take it just fine,less is more,have not burned any in some years with nutrients

drewby · Mar 31, 2018

My feeding is done with the plantone mostly,here is a pic of it in my little bucket,I crush it with a ball bat or a coffee grinder,to make it more water soluble,,
Plant-tone ,1 tablespoon per gallon of water,,every 2 -3 days to keep soil damp depending on size of container
Epsom salt, if needed 1 tablespoon per gallon of water every 2 weeks or as needed
Superthrive, 1 teaspoon per gallon of water every 2 weeks in veg,,
Plant Starter with B1,,,1 tablespoon per gallon of water,given during normal watering with the plantone
Milk ,,1 quarter gallon milk ,fill the rest with water ,,every 2 weeks in veg
Lighting,17 ,,4 foot fluorescent lights each one holds 2 bulbs,full spectrum T-8's
1 ,,300 watt LED for Veg
Flower I now have 3 ,,1,000 watt Led's,& 2 ,,400 watt MH lights
Temp in room,,70-78
Humidity,veg 50%-60%,, Flower 50%-35%
light 12/12
3 1 gallon CO2 jugs during veg ,5-6 of them in flower
I will add,when I say a week into flower, I am not counting the 21 days for the plant to sex and go from veg to flower ,after the 21 days I flower for 8 weeks normally depends on the strain,if you count those 21 days,would be around 11 weeks total,strain dependent of course some finish a bit sooner than others

Thank you for the details

And - I feel better about my crew not quite 2 weeks into 12/12 now lol
I've got some Epsoma products I use in my teas too- never thought about trying to grind it to water in

that would help when life is busy!! I use more of the Bio Bizz line plus my teas but def have some refining to do.

So- off topic, what kind of bike is that freshly painted frame for?

drewby · Apr 1, 2018

Is a 96 xr80r ,just got done sandblasting and repainting the frame and parts for my lad,I use to run a shop years ago so I like to tinker and do a little restore on projects,I just like to tinker around a bit,,ordered new graphics for it as well

Sapphyre · Apr 2, 2018

Niiiice

)
I spent some time doing finish work in a shop that specialized in race bikes and resto work- I am glad you are having fun w it

Bikes take a different kind of patience but I always preferred them over cars because it is a lot closer to instant gratification

drewby · Apr 7, 2018

well here is few more pics of the ladies coming along,,started seeing some droop on the tips so I have backed off of all feed with Nitrogen in it for now,still giving my blooming agents with a 0-4-4 and another one with a 0-1-3 and some molasses ,they are smelling nice,I think the short indica I call twisted sister will be the stinkiest ,I will be cloning her and the taller indica sister to her ,they booth seem like nice smelly plants lots of frost on them both

Sapphyre · Apr 8, 2018

Looks like a good call to back off on the n but the ladies are looking nice

drewby · Apr 14, 2018

well we are still coming along few pics,still have white hairs pushing on all the plants starting to see some hairs go orange,except my bruce lee plant it just stays green never really see white hairs on it ,in fact ever plant in the room has hairs but that plant just fat green buds,around 25 kola buds n the first plant in my crown of thorns as I cal it,I intentionally do that to create many kola's or try to,little LST,when they start flower,I super crop and bend them over

drewby · Apr 15, 2018

Few more pics I was in the room putting few bamboo poles in for support for the taller ones,they were getting heavy lol,

drewby · Apr 15, 2018

here are the rest of them

Sapphyre · Apr 15, 2018

Too heavy- that is what I call a gold plated problem! Lmao

drewby · May 2, 2018

well still cooking along here ,I went threw and did some defoliating hated to but had way to many leaves blocking light,,outside they would have laid out some on the upper branches allowing for light to reach the center,am afraid I just do not have the room for them to open up,,few new pics they are getting plump

drewby · May 2, 2018

here are few more pics and just for shites and giggles I checked the trics on the first plant everything in here is super frosty ,trics are on a small bud leaf off a top kola on the Strawberry Cough/Sour diesel plant
