The ponytailing looks perfect I'm sure you are seeing the results it doesn't take very long. And I would feed 5 or more days @1ml/L then go up to 1.5 and watch. I'm sure they will handle the 1.5 by day 25 then once they are doing a little better and getting bigger then you'll most likely be able to go to 2ml/L that's where MOST of my strains stay

Thank you it means alot and yea i check them about 4-5 times a day because fortunately i am able to, and i can def. see growth in the branches. currently im leaving the ponytails in for about 5-7 hrs. and that nute sched sounds like a plan. i should continue with the carboload,rhino skin,b-52 and sensizyme at 1ml/l as per tang's new sched. correct? and if my soil ph is usually resting "dry" at 6.9-7 watering/feeding should be ph'd a little lower than normal right? i.e. 6.2-6.4? again man!

I don't use Carbo load til flowering but to each there own. The plants love AN you'll be fine and yes the addatives are generally not the reason your plants burn the base nutes take care of that.

What soil are you using? And I used to ph my feeds but no longer do. All I do is mix my nutes let sit and buffer for 1 hr then feed. They take care of the rest.

Don't worry about the traffic man. It's a tight knit community I think I had 5 or 6 people post on my first thread but just keep growing and posting with pics and precise updates they will come .... especially in flower when the excitement starts

i was under the impression that the carboload feeds the micros i put in the soil with piranha and tarantula? or do i only use it when i use the micros? and ok ill continue the additives i was just playing it safe lastnight. the soil im usng consists of 2 parts: and inner and outer core. the outer consists of 50% OF, 30% jiffy seedling mix and 20% perlite with dolomite lime added to take care of the shifty OF soild PH(it came in the bag at 5.4ish i think) and the INNER core consits of 100% jiffy seedling mix. i ised a prego spagetti sauce jar to make the hole for the inner core... and i was just thinking of PHing feeds to cover a wider PH range in the soil as it dries/get absorbed. pure speculation of a noob....one thing i HAVENT been doing is buffering my feed water in the beginning but i read that using rhino skin its best to let your nute solution sit for some hrs. i let it sit overnight(8 hrs or so) with a airstone in the jug

Good deal yeah just feed his schedule and you'll be fine.

I always go with a promix blend until this time I'm running coco. But I prefer soils with 0 to no nutes. Now that I hear your soil I would be VERY weary of going to 2ml/L the OF has nutrients and you cannot control how much of that your plant is getting on top of what you are feeding. Just take it easy


You do what works for you but in the future look into a medium like promix. You can use the feed schedules that are out there for AN and you know exactly what they are getting, at what quantity and when. This give you total control and when you have ANY problem running AN and promix it's easily solved and there's NO mystery of what's in the soil before hand

ok so i should feed as you suggested at 1ml/l till day 25(i feed/water 500ml every other day at the moment) then the next feed will be 1.5 even tho im using the soil mix i am correct? and i already gave away the rest of that OF! haha i will be probably using the ProMix HP for my next grow for the reasons you have stated.
THANK YOU again for your help and time A-Train!

No problem that's what we're here for my man. In the shit I would stay at 1ml a little longer bud. As more roots get into the they will take up more. Maybe day 30 up them again just to be safe

 

[tripaholic88]

the day 32 mark would be when i feed sensibloom nutes. now when i do that what would you reccomend i start at because of the ? i believe that s my last question at this time haha
