Plants are looking much better. Yesterday I dropped the Sensi Cal Mag Extra 4:0:0 and fed FFGB 6:4:4 and 1 TSP epsom per gallon instead. Some leaves have darker stripes or areas.
Talking with Pipecarver about these early yellowing or lime issues. He thinks about 15 minutes of far red LEDs 5 minutes before lights out will help with that.
The Photontek SQ300W has 730nm far reds but it’s always on, no separate controls for them. He thinks that might be overkill but doesn’t know for sure. It does explain why I get a lot of stretching.
So Mr Carver was nice enough to send me one of his far red LED puck lights.



Photontek specs.
Puck light.
I’m going to see if I can hook it up in the middle of the quantum boards in the second tent that has no far reds. It’s just two 220w panels joined in the middle so I should be able to put the light under the seam this weekend.
No one around here has wide shorter 3 gallon soft pots so I started cleaning the green ones from the last grow. They aren’t as wide as I want but these plants have been in small containers much longer than I wanted. I should have been able to flip by April 1st. Now it’ll be mid April after they have time to root in the new pot.
Very tired. Gas company finally fixed things and this weeks bill shows it’s fixed and over with. But the City Water and Property Tax bullshit is still going on. They can’t be this stupid or incompetent. He’s a director for f**k sakes. So it has to be intentional trying to get us to walk away. I’ve clawed back about $6750 of the stolen $8500 but they keep making excuses and sending the wrong paperwork. Even the director hasn’t been able to tell me where $865 he admits he owes us has gone? WTF? So I feel like I’m banging my head against a wall for the last however many years and it’s just draining and frustrating. But I’m not giving up, I can’t after all this BS.
I plan to get most if not all the plants transplanted this weekend in a new soil mix. Now that things are better I’ll stop the liquid nutes and let the dry nutes in the soil mix take over again. Still don’t know what went wrong this time.
Have a good weekend people.
