OK... so firs couple ics are willow cuttings generating rooting hormone and plant immunity (salacylic acid) (See article or thread)

Note in 2 weeks +/- the ph has dropped from 7ish down to 4.87 (water has not been changed... theyve been in the light for the past couple days (natural sunight at maybe 7 hrs / day)

ppm now at 192... was at 7 or 8 when started... (I believe this is all s. acid in solution)

then ya got the bubbler bin wit the s. acid and some snow added to it.

next 3 are the 54 days triple of auto berry, lowrider n 2 and auto widow... theve been recv amended (bubbled) water for most of their time.. notice the buds r huge already!


think the rest are pretty self-exp....

I like the look of that LR#2 bud, she looks frosty.

what are you using for flower nutes jm?
I think that crispyness is because they are hungry for flower nutes. P or K, could go ether one really.

I was thinking that if you are using a good flower nute, and using it full strength. Maybe there is too much calcium causing a potassium lockout. Understandably you want yellow fans near the end, but they are a bit too cripsy. And i can see your yeild has taken a hit.
Don't get me wrong, they are bigger than my autos, atm. But you should be hitting well close to the oz/per plant mark being that big. Your extra lights will help, but you should get a larger bud swell than what they gave you.

Don't want to sound like i'm nit picking your grow mate. Just thinking about it as if it were my own.
You should be able to squeeze more out of that space with a few tweaks.

I know where your heart id bro... and thanks for the tips... I think its a combo of too much nutes... (bat guano, ffBB, and TB) started to show a burn immediately... then flushed till clear again.. most recently... the tstat was reggin 87-92 deg.... but when i put the other digi in there suspended in the middle of the grow area... it ran 92-104 deg! so i think they got a little temp burn at then end here... man if theres anything that can be fed up on a grow... ive done it on this one! lol

so, temps are under control with constant ventilaton now... 87-92.. perfect for co2.... and I'm all over that shit! And yes, I'm very dissapointed with my weights as a result of my f-ups... but hopefully these next grows will be ok now that im pretty tweaked in... i def got good crystal content... i attrib a lot of that to my uv's... the buzz is great... but my weights shoulda been BUSTIN given the plant size... but alas.... you'll see the 56 day three are sizing up much better... amended water... and seems to be good on ph... recently did a runoff test and achieved 6.4 by the time i was done flushin... started at 6.1.

any other advice is ALWAYS APPRECIATED M8!

but my weights shoulda been BUSTIN given the plant size..

That was what i was thinking. Only reason i commented really.

I know you know what your doing, just thinking out loud about it. It just looked allot like my first ever run of OGkush. They didn't stop eating leaves until i was at 3 x's the recommended dose on the bottle.
Everyone cooks a few plants getting to know a line. wouldn't fret over it.

I run my room around 30'c i think that's around 90. They just need to be watered more often, which was my goal. You should be even better off since your running co2, which helps with high heat. Silicon adatives help plants deal with higher temps as well.

You have your PH where it should be. That and i see you post your ph pen up all the time, so i don't think ph.

Going back to the cal overdose, this could just be from over fed locking out other stuff, then the flush taking more out.

Do you use a flush product jm? like final flush. I'll give mine a water with that if i see signs of over feeding. It'll grab the synthetic salts out of there, so i can start again next watering. I've actually used it on my taller ICU phenos allready.

 

[JM]

no... actually never heard of it.. whats in it? any idea? it'd be good to have on hand in case of emergency...


as far as your OG's... I've never had underfeeding eat em up like that... this is news to me... lol
Agreed... gotta have "burn-in" time.... or "breakin" time.... all technology including humans still requires this !

 

[Northern Grower]

or "breakin" time.... all technology

I tend to break allot of new stuff. They just don't make them like they used to.

This is a link to the product http://www.grotek.net/en/products/product.aspx?id=30

This is my first run with it, a friend swears by it. He runs synthetics on his crops, and i can't get over how clean it burns. I made the comment that it's like organics.

Soo since i am watering in my ferts this run i thought i should get some.
It's marketed as a product to help correct over feeding and salt build up from the EDTA's in most ferts. For soil and hydro. They have some flavored stuff but i am using the plain one. I like the taste of erb thank you very much.

Clearex and final phase are similar products.

The guy at the shop said it's a chemical in itself so a watering of plain water is needed before chop. What that chemical is, i do not know. Haven't had time to really dig that deep into it.

 

[JM]

word... well thanks for all the info... think i'll dodge it for now as i go through an awful lot of trouble to not use chems and it would seem counterproductive to do it at the end with chems... ll

just my personal feelings... but i def look forward to hearing your reports on it as always
