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

[witchyhour]

Day 69
Ppms up to 1100
Ph 6.0
Temp 77
Humidity 50
Rez 73

Brought the ppms back down to 990
On sunday ill give 2 gallons of straight ro and drop the ppms down to about 500
Then ill giv a full dose of beastiebloom by itself....shes still drinking a gallon a day. Trichs are clear and some cloudy i dont see any amber so there is still a chance she will get fatter. I hope because its going to suck if i have to cut all these small buds View attachment 578555 View attachment 578556 View attachment 578557

If I'm not mistaken, my buds started fattening up around that time. I'd keep the ppm no lower than 750 at that point, usually bringing it up to 900 right after feeding. Feed bloom food and add calmag as needed. I added Big Bud to mine, then Overdrive, per manufacturer's instructions.

Yes mate your just being impatient. She will fatten up just give her time. You can grow perfectly healthy plants with big buds with just grow and bloom nutres.
The main ingredient in bloom boosters is phosphorus and potassium- which is already in your bloom base nutes. Also koolbloom and beastie bloom are practically the same thing. So just use 1 at a time.
The plant can only use up so much P and K until she starts to get tip burn. Rising ppms means shes taking up water but not nutrients because she has enough.
Less is more dude! Sorry for the long rant lol

Agreed!

Again I hate to be the bearer of the same but yeah Man U are just being impatient she will fatten up

Day 71
Ph 5.9
Temp 77
Humidity 55
Rez 72f
Ppm were 1000 went up to 1100

I added 1 gallon of ro water and dropped ppms down to 850. Going to see tonorrow morning if ppms go up or down. Going to get ready to cut calmag so i can increase additives and give her a sshot of high pk booster. Tent smells amazing. Like everyome says i think she will be a 90 day plant not sure.

How do you guys judge when to chop. Wait for a lot of amber, wait till all yhr hairs recede? Im not sure going for full couchlock.
Anyway hoping they fatten more i know im being impatient lol.

Lowered ppms down again to 730.
They raised from 850 to 910 in 5 hours. Trying to find where she starts to drink it down

I cut a small hole in the side of my tent.
Added a second hose coming off my air conditioner to help keep tent in check so cold air coming in the bottom and top of tent.

Im thinking tomorrows formula
1ml bloom half strength
5ml koolbloom (full dose)
1/2tsp beastie bloom
Im using the beastiebloom from fox farm as the dry kool bloom substitute the ingredients and ratios are almost identical. Since i have around 2 weeks left i figure ill blast them with high pk dose and then just regular bloom at 2ml till finish


Trichomes are browning on the leaves but the bud is still cloudy how do i know when she is good to go?

spots popped up tonight im thinking calmag which im ok with i think she will make it to the end. Butt correct me if im wrong

Do you see all those white pistils sticking up like hairs? By the time you're ready to start flushing, they should no longer be like that.

This is a plant I'm currently flushing and harvesting. Notice how it looks ripe? Most her trichs are cloudy and some are still clear, none amber.

This one still has a few days to go before flushing.

Both seeds were dropped at the same time, on March 9th and are fast autos. If I were following the seed bank instructions, they'd both have been chopped a short while ago.

Rez 69

New gallon mix
1ml bloom
4ml koolbloom
Total ppm 660 added to rez
Then i added 1 teaspoon of beastiebloom to rez.
New ph 5.7
New ppm 830

Tomorrow will be floranova bloom only

Did a little lst trying to breach canopy with light . Feel bad half the buds are lime green due to not enough penetration. Next grow in the new house ill have room to spread her out. It is hard not trimmimg off the underdeveloped growth.
