Grow Mediums Attempting 2nd Grow for the 4th time :)

[jtrain252]

My question essentially is with all the red and purple stems and the reading on the plan itself should I drop the nute mix which has nitrogen in it and increase the blue mix I don't want to overdo pk

Day 54
Ppm 680
Temp 79
Humidity 45
Rez 71
27inches high

The tips of my leaves on the upper growth have a weird purple color to them or at least I think it's purple the bottom half of the plant is fine just the top

Other then that she looks healthy View attachment 571316 View attachment 571315

Any way new mix
100ppm calmag
80ppm kool bloom
530ppm bloom
710ppm mix
Rez ppm now 680
Ph now 5.7


I made a video if u guys wanna watch to show you the airflow see if I need to defoliate anymore also u can see the tips are twisted and burning?? But ppms are stabl

Ok from what I see it looks like her "autumn" colors are starting to come in on her. That leaf with the purple in it just looks like it is some purple coming thru. Have the temps dropped at all recently? I don't know but does the strain your growing have any purple phenotypes that we know of? If so and it is what I think it is then she is going to be a purply fat bushy bitch. Also the tips look like a little nute burn to me because they do look like they got a little bit more burntish. So I would drop the PPMs down as far as which ones, I would say start with whatever has the most N in it start bringing that down. Generally speaking N is the culprit of nute burn a lot of the time.

Well flora nova has nitrogen I can drop ppms down from 500 to 400. And boost koolbloom from 100 to 200

Big update i can smell this plant through the tent so I popped off the exhaust side of my tubing and I csn faintly smell the Mrs coming through. I've had this filter for about a year or so so I just bought another phresh filter should be here midweek. Can't have her exhausting outside with that smell

No update tomorrow as I'm not home on Saturdays
Day 55
Ph 5.7
Ppm 680
Temp 77
Humidity 48
Rez 71
Height 27in (stop growing)
Light is 17in away

Old mix was
100ppm calmag
80ppm kool bloom
530ppm bloom
710ppm mix got slightly burning tips so

New rez mix
390 ppm nova bloom (dropped 150ppm
130ppm kool bloom (pk booster) upped 30pp
100Ppm calmag the same
620ppm total
Res ppm 690

Saturday I've left a gallon premixed for my mother. Same strength figure I'll make it slightly weaker that way she can't be burnt.
Took 5 or 6 crumpled crunchy leaves off the very bottom of her they either detached themselves or just came off when I touched. I'm assuming it is due to not getting light/old age. Anyway pic time. Comments, suggestions,criticisms, shaming,repping are all encouraged.

Day 56
Ppm 700
Ph 5.7
Temp 77
Humidity 50

Couple of brown spots appears on new growth I'm attributing it to calmag as I've only been feeding 100ppm. Bumped ph to 6.0
Tomorrow when I give her a gallon I will add 100ppm more of calmag I'm assuming this is just normal purpling I've never grown this before so I don't know

Here are the spots that just popped up

Here's a shot for yhe same main stalk


Now since ppms aren't really dropping anymore if I need to drop ppms what should I remove.
I'm using 100ml calmag
400ml bloom
200ml of PK booster. Since I have no signs of Nitrogen deficiency should i drop that so I can boost the calmag? I know calmag won't kill me but with probably 3 weeks or so left I wanna give her the best
Technically im a quarter strength on calmag
I'm half for bloom
And 100 percent on pk

 

[jtrain252]

Ok we'll I'm just going to guess and hope it's right
Mix for tomorrow
Removing 2 out of 4 gallons in rez.
New mix
3ml bloom (half strength)
5ml of koolbloom (Full strength)
2.5ml of calmag (half strength)
I think the total PPM will be about 900 but obviously running 700ppm even though it's stable and not dropping She is deficient in phosphurus and calmag so I'm gonna just through some shit at her

Day 57
Ph 5.7
Temp 77
Humidity 55
Rez 72
Height 29inches
Light 14inches away
PPM's 720 up 20 but 1gallon gone
New gallon mix
5ml nova bloom 1040ppm
4ml calmag 1280ppm or 240ppm calmag
5ml koolbloom 1440ppm or 160ppm kb
1/4 tsp beastie bloom 1540ppm or 100ppm
So
Nova bloom 4-8-7 5ml
Calmag 1-0-0 4ml
Koolbloom 0-10-10 5ml
Beastie bloom 0-50-30 1.25ml
Total ppm 1550
New rez ppm 890
Ph 5.7

Some more purple deficiency as I don't believe this strain purples so I gave a full dose of koolbloom more base nutes and added beastie bloom powder. We will see what happens she grew another inch and a half my light is all the way up on hangers I'm going to have to rig it up and get a few more inches somehow. Used a hanger plant is 16inches away and I'm out of height
My mom says the buds are bigger but I do not think so. Please plant pack on the weight and finish before a major deficiency starts

If ppms go up I will dilute with abother gallon of ro that only has koolbloom calmag and beastie bloom in it. No nova in case it's the nitrogen causing the rise

@Waira
If you guys agree or disagree please let me know. Remember I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm under the assumption if I cut out the nitrogen completely and flood her with only p and k she should have enough nitro to finish. Is that correct?

Day 57

1/4 tsp beastie bloom 1540ppm or 100ppm



Remember I have no idea what I'm doing.

@jtrain252 I know I have been sort of a voice of tough love but I ask if you have no idea what you are doing then why are you adding random additives? Where in the heck did the Beastie Bloom come from? You are already using your FloraNova Bloom and the liquid KoolBloom is your blooming booster. If you wanted to go one step farther then it would have been the KoolBloom POWDER. Keeping everything in the same product line seems to make sense regarding compatibility and the fact that the two different KoolBlooms are made to work together.

I know you are wanting a monster yield but you are not going to just wake up tomorrow and see donkey dicks for colas on your plant you have to let nature run her course. Tossing things at it under the "IHNIWID" (I have no idea what I'm doing) method is only asking for trouble. I use the "KISS" ( Keep It Simple Stupid) method and it works very well for me.

She is looking really really good...you just have to let her do her thing. She is going to reward you in the end for all this hard work just don't over do it.

 

[jtrain252]

@HotBunz didn't have the dry kool bloom and I know the 2nd hald your supposed to add it. The beastie bloom I had leftover and it is pretty much the same additive as the dry koolbloom. I figured I could use it.
What I meant was this strain doesn't have s purpling in it normally so I'm assuming the purpling is phosphurus deficiency. I thought adding more phosphurus without adding nitrogen since I'm getting slightly burnt tips would be better then upping the nova itself. And since the dry beastie is 3x stronger then the liquid I thought it would make sense. But you are right. I'm just nervous she keeps stretching and changing colors and I want her to just thicken. Kiss method seems better I just feel like I'm slowly battling issues is all.
Your right though

@hotbunz is right before you start adding random nutes, just check in here first and see what the general thoughts are. You are doing a great job and we all want to see you get the most you can out of your baby. Trust me when I say that she will get fatter and she will thicken up, you are going to have a very nice harvest of some super sticky buds as long as you don't start thinking that everything going on with your plant is a problem. I think you are correct though and it does seem that they are a little P deficient so your logic was not wrong. I personally am not familiar with those additives so @hotbunz is way more qualified to tell you about how much to use or not.

Oh and THOSE ROOTS THOUGH!!!!! They are lookin like they are going to fill up your bucket my friend and that means you are going to have one hell of a big plant
