Welcome to the Cave of Daily Mishaps

[Rootsruler]

I'll try to help but take it with a grain of salt.

I don't think you need to PH, just nice to know.
I don't think you need to mess with tap water, but depending on your start point you might have to factor that in.

I have had problems with calcium after the flip many times. Some plants more than others. Seems worse under LED.

I have started upping the calcium prior to the switch to compensate for this. I think if you had plenty of free calcium and were not locked out, you would not have seen the rust spots. Good news is you are OK, flower on. This is minor IMO.

Agreed. When I flipped this grow I almost doubled the amount of calcium and magnesium I was giving the girls. They loved it!!

Aptus agrees!!

So ive never been one to even use calmag until now. I used it in premixed soil and it caused soo many issues for me so i stopped and things got better.
I just recently went to promix and thats got nothing in it as far as nutrients so i have to dial all my stuff in again which means trial and error for a while lol.

Both autos i have look the same as the one i posted but theyll be done soon im sure.

I love this chart, i always forget i have it saved. I should print it and tape it in my nutrient cabinet.

 

[Cool_Beans]

Thanks Roots I saved that chart. I struggled w calcium this grow and that really helps visualize the needs.

Gnick shares it to all the new members. Its a great chart, really is helpful when ya remember to look at it... lmao

A while ago GNick tried to help when I asked for index or legend. Told me to consider the top of graph 10 and go down from there.

We were just about to dial things in for the rest of the grow.

It’s to ambiguous for me. Not the way I think. To artistic. I used to draw but only in shades of black/white. Colour fucks me up and looks like I was using a colouring book.

I need x/y or values to go with it...but that’s not how bio stuff works I guess.

 

[GoodShit97]

Heres some goodies.

2 real sour okie and 2 triangle kush okie.
All 4 from seed.

Day 22 of flower.

Starting to get their frost on.

 

[steamroller]

The first couple weeks of flower is when CA and MG are most in demand and as mentioned by Smoke sometimes more than double what you were using prior.
It is a LED and possibly a genetics thing that has evolved or recently been recognized.
I found with my LEDS as crappy as they are that my plants screamed for MG much more than I expected from late veg.
I like LONG vegges...
We Have a section https://budbuilders.org/forums/charts-setpoints-data-lookup.25/ that has many charts[ O like pictures].
https://budbuilders.org/threads/basic-beginner-charts.87/
All my links have pictures.
I need more than one to diagnose even close to decent.
Thankfully the other 5 who started this forum with me are the most knowledgeable people who remained active way before the demise I read from over there..
Nick knows his stuff for sure also, I was all over his post.
He is in 'my definition' a good German.
It is not the same all over the world and people genetics do play a role in they are.
I am also a good German in my mind, I just keep alot of that shit to myself~!

 

[SiamSam]

same here I know not whats going on I posted a private message and that was it, Not sure why just that I can't get in, I made up a new name I got in with it then I lost that one too....I wasn't involved in any fights...I just mentioned this site.....

Okay then I'll make up another profile go on and advise my friends whats up. Maybe they'll join here as well...I hate to lose every thing on my pages but if they're going to fk with us then maybe its time for an alternative site anyways.

#Me too.

 

[GoodShit97]

Will not run 4 plants in 5 gallon pots in a 3x3 again, this is too much. And if i do, ill only go for a 4 week veg instead of 6 or 7. They have been under the ViparSpectra KS3000 since their second week of life.
Really happy with the way this light performs, only wish it had a smooth dimmer knob instead of a preset 25-50-75-100

 

[Zen_seeker]

Agreed, mine ticks me off too. But they do seem to be accurate, IMO.

They look fed well, nice canopy

 

[Observer]

There's nothing wrong getting a free light. But don't you feel pressured to say just good things?

Idgaf I'll say whatever I think is constructive at least even if it's negative towards the product.

My 2c on the topic.

 

[Observer]

Yeah i completely agree. I know what lights you're running.
I cant say i blame you on not looking either. If i had known it was going to flood the forum i wouldve never signed the stupid paper. I figured 2 or 3 people not 20 or 30.

Genetics are definitely #1 grower is #2 and light is #3 imo.

I'd say

1# genes
2# lights
3#grower

Cause you ain't growing shit without photons.

Ok, you got me there, didnt put it into that perspective lol.

My 4x4

Reveg plants always look so gnarly.

 

[GoodShit97]

Hope she gets massive!!
GSC thats been veggin since January.
Just finished putting her in a 30 gallon tote that i drilled a bunch of 1/2 inch holes in.

Before transplant (ignore the one behind it, i just cropped every branch so shes pretty droopy.)


After transplant.


And a photo of her from underneath.



Tomorrow, i will drag her to her final home. Should be fun...

 

[steamroller]

That should be a monster !!
How long has the one been re vegging?
I have not myself ,but note she is still shooting 3 blades.
Is that common for how long you have been re vegging?

 

[moe.red]

Wishing you great weather and for bugs to fuck right off.

Im hoping i can get more than a pound off her.

Ive only revegged a few plants but the ones i did, it seems they take like 6-10 weeks. I have had this one in a solo cup since i cloned it weeks and weeks ago. I think it would be back to 7 already if it had a bigger root zone. I just need it to get to at least 5 fingers and ill take more cuts and toss this one or flower it in the cup.

Problem is, its like a 15+ week flowering strain so idk if im even gonna keep it.

It was for johnlandy but ya know, i cant get in contact with him anymore.

Ive got things in place for bugs, what im real worried about is mold/mildew. Going to treat weekly with a sulphur based spray and hope the hell i can get her to finish.
By croptober ill have almost a year invested.

I’m a new believer at the church of micronized sulfur. Dirtbag even put it on his sugar leaves to increase terpenes, just keep it away from the pistils or they shrivel up apparently. I might try some on this grow.

I think a UVC wand might be interesting for outdoor growers. Just really dangerous when using. I think that would get bugs and mold in one pass. No chemicals.

I got mildew inside on my flowering plants last fall and i bought Safer Brand fungicide, which is sulfur based. Stinks like shit, but it saved all my plants in veg from getting mildew and i didnt have to start all over again from seed which was nice. So yeah, im on the sulfur bandwagon too, just haved gotten to the powder stuff yet.

I have no clue about this UVC you speak of sir, new to me so ill have to look into it.

Not sure it exists for growers. They use them in hospitals to clean. I was just thinking out loud. Hit the pipe when I got home and my over-engineer brain kicked in.

But yeah if you had this imaginary wand you could treat the whole plant in a few minutes like Luke sky Walker and kill everything with photons.

Hah, yeah us growers could use one for sure. Be pretty sick to kill all sorts of shit with the wave of a wand, id feel like a wizard

The real ones aren’t cheao and will be a floro tube. Another option is agromax which has very high levels of UVB just takes longer exposure

There are people who grow with them on a timer. Short blasts. At least one study too I think.

Usually UVB and UVA. I mean i used my agromax to sterilize plastic petri dishes with a distance if about 1ft. It destroyed the plastic in 30 min when i came back lol

Triangle Kush

Real Sour

27 days since flipping to 12/12.

 

[GoodShit97]

Tomorrow will mark 11 weeks from sprout on these Fog Dog autos from Atlas Seeds.

Very little food given. 5tbsp of gaia green 284 and 2 or 3 feedings of botanicare pureblend pro bloom. Going to drop back to 10 or 15ml a gallon on next feeds.

Im hoping for at least a pound lol. Dont wanna get my hopes up.

Im now down to 2 plants outside, gave the LSD i was growing to my neighbor along with 2 gsc clones, might give him the green crack too. Idk yet. Ive got too much going on to deal with it all lol

Forget your hopes and prepare to have carpal tunnel by the end of fall from all the trimming you're gonna have. That thing is gonna stretch into a literal tree.

Thats my plan lol. I want the trunk the size of my fist but not sure itll get there. Its already barky at the base lol.
And yeah definitely gonna have something, prolly arthritis lol.
