Indoor 3rd GROW just started!!!!!

[Noods]

I was under the impression that 24 hrs of light was no good for autos

It's not bad for autos either. I think it made my ER finish faster. Autos like to sprout, get big, and then put out the pretty stuff. Cannabis uses light when it's available, and rests when it's not. If light is constantly available, it's constantly using. (I'm talking Auto's here)
But I will confess that I will be using 20/4 for my next grow during flowering to see if it produces more resin.

Lots and lots of sweet flowers forming in there jiml!

I would like to run 20/4 or 18/6 but I need the lights for heat. Box is too small and too full to add a small heater. The box is running around 68-74 degrees. They don’t seem to mind the 24/0.

Am I better off the feed them the same amount of bloom nutes or can I step it up at some point. I just gave them ½ tsp Big Bloom and ¼ tsp tiger bloom per 1 gallon. The next watering will be molasses and ph’ed water. You think I could go 1 tsp Big Bloom and ½ tsp Tiger Bloom when I feed them next.

I would use the same concentration one more time (after the Molasses and pH'ed water), and then up it for the next feeding.

Thanks noods, My newbie mind still want to put the boots to them. I guess I should read my own help thread, when I Over dosed them with Grow big (N). I just wana walk that fine line to know just how much they can take. next feeding I wil stay with the same amount. Are we just trying to get then used to the nutes?

 

[Noods]

Dude, I'm no smarter than you when it comes to nutes. I just mix up some poops and plants stuffs and feed it to the little ladies. Although there is some system to that chaos, it's not as exact as watching out for ppm and EC and the gradual increasing of the nutes. I just thought, "That's what I'd do". I do think you should try to stick to the Golden Rule- Less Is More- though.

Gradually pushing up the amount is 1 thing. Doubling up the dose is another. If you want to push them to see what they can handle what I normally do is a gradual increase until you see a negative side effect. I went from 1/4 to 1/3. When I went to a half 2 out of 8 plants showed over feeding. Did to clean feedings and went back to 1/3. That let me know they were not quite ready for 1/2 but could handle the 1/3. The growth exploded during the 2 clean waterings after the sign if over feeding. I currently have my next feeding bubbling. It's not a 1/2 but a 1/3 with an added tbs of molasses. Next week I will try 1/2 again. The PPm of nutes to zero water mine seem to prefer is right around 120-130. The 160-180 2 weeks ago they weren't quite ready for.

Not to much to update on, they seam to have taken a break from growing. This is right around day 38-39, Hope they start packing on some weight soon. I will post pics when it looks like they have made a change. Tommrow they get a dose of big bloom and tiger bloom.

 

[Captain cure]

The weight for me always seems to pack on violently In the last 2-3 weeks. Or roughly day 50-70+

 

[jiml74]

So this is right around day 40-42. They just started looking like real buds. I'm using promix and from what if been reading from muddys post my ph is way out of wack! Its still right at 7 if the meter im using is right. I need to get my ph down, so i dont lose any yield. I'm ph'ing everything to right around 6.
