The little tent has turned up into a spaceship...I wonder what kind of space travels it will give me xD
That is some nice work in that tent white mate, top work............. you got a 1000m3 filter capacity on a 580m3 minus air drag loss = 450m3/hr extract fan.......... safe as houses........... on the balcony now, at vent you here nothing white'ty ???......
you got some serious passengers on the floor bro !!!!!!!!!!.............. the critical and amnesia have caught up with the ultimate's nicely........... they are well over the edge of the pot now, at day 27.......... imagine how big they will be in 60 days time white, wall to wall canopy ...
I raised their feeding by 0.3 ec on the last watering and they seem to love it..I keep a close look on their tips tho just to make sure i dont over nute them...
beat me to my update instruction!........... your intuition is tuned............. boads well for future canna journeys, along the 80 to 100 day culture critical path white, in future yea..... a jump of 0.3 should be ok......... but keep an eye on those leaf tips................. you can see tip burn at 1mm burn............... if you do, back down nute to 0.6 from 0.8............... remember a 0.3 increase from 0.5 is = to a greater than 50% rise in nute power........... so we have to be carefull re large jumps................... leave her at 0.8 (Nute Only), and see if the 1mm tip burn turns up over the next couple days ok.........
received some RhinoSkin 0.7ml/L along with some Sensizym 0.7ml/L during their last 2 feeds. I also started some calmag @ 0.5ml/L...
the sensizym is used for breaking down old root tissue, and other ditritus in the soil,
quote AN
These enzymes are constantly breaking down dead roots, other organic matter, and unused nutrients.
You see they mention breaking down nutrients white............... this is why i said we will only use the silica and not the sensizym............ as it breaks down nutes you are feeding, you add sensizym
to your feed !!!.................... where it knocks it about................... we dont have un used nutes, as we use a Ec control system !!
Internode staggering has now spread though the entire canopy, as the flower hormone ethylene rages...... but the flowers are not yet at the 10 to 13mm radius stage, it is at this stage, "Cal/Mag" can be used, but if you look at your AN nute range NPK............ you will see i think its the Bloom, or B52 has 2.4% Ca = (Clacium) additive, so you are every feed adding a calcium buffer to the soil, which is superb.........
we wouldn't usually use the cal/mag untill the flowers are at 15-18mm radius, this is when mg and phos requirements are elevated for the rest of flowering period............. the final feed Ph is 6.8 to 7.2....... drop the cal/mag for now white ok.............. keep the rhino silicone going in at half dose every other feed as mentioned ok.....
ittle champs!
UPDATE info 27/3/2019
Temps 26-28C Light ON / 24-26C Light O
Humidity 45%
Light: Dual Spectrum 600w @ 70cm distance from canopy
Soil temps 21C
Leaf temps 23C
Feeding 0.8 nute + 0.3 water = 1.1 EC, ph 6.8 @ 24C every 48 hours
100%................. culture data, nice white............
I was thinking the idea for 2 x 400w dual spectrums and i think it will be the best solution to get grow temps without the use of a heater...Those heaters are exploding the electric bill...
lights out heater, 1kw, is around the same kw use as lights on white'ty.......... lets have a look at your overall consumption........Kw's =
LIGHTS ON Kw = 18Hrs
600w HPS
Ext fan 200w
25w air movement fan (Not Needed)
passive air in Kw 0
total = 825w@18hrs = 14850w = 14.85Kw
LIGHTS O Kw = 6hrs
Ext fan 200w@6Hrs = 1200 = 1.2Kw
Heater floor fan 1100w@6hrs = 6.600w = 6.6Kw
total = 7.8Kw
24hr/Kw/Total = 14.85 + 7.8 = 22.65Kw/day divide by 24hrs = Kw/Hr = 0.943Kw used every hour (24hr Average)....
i pay 11p a Kw/Hr............. so i will base it on that Kw rate ok......... as i dont know what your Kw per Hour rate is ok........... so
22.65kw/day x 30 days = 679.5Kw month.
Cost = 0.943Kw/Hr x 24Hrs = 679Kw@0.11p = 75 quid (Sterling) a month total 24/7 cab costs........... about the same as a dishwasher use over a month white ok.......... saving electricity around the house, stand bye's, lights left on, 'Dishwasher" !!.......... helps to offset the mild increase in electricity use.......... your day costs are 2.48 quid (Pounds Sterling) a day............ gives you an idea of costs............ 75 quid a month for 3 month grow = 75 x 3 = 225 quid..................... say 15oz so = 225 divide by 15oz = 15 quid an oz white...............on silk road right now an oz is 200 quid.............. top notch though.........ALR
I should have updated yesterday but i got a lot of postage come in the evening so i had to run to town collect the boxes and start working on things....I was up until late working on and i think i have done something nice...
27th was your 5 day interval update day white'ty.............. every 5 days.........so next is Monday 1st April.......... they are looking bang tidy white'ty my friend there............ if anything with the 0.3Ec increase, the fans will go a darker green................. as your veg nute NPK nitrogen is held up by the B52..... day 27 is still early veg, so we keep the veg nute schedule as AN calculator, same as previous post ok.........
all is looking cracking white'ty.............. you can see a 1mm tip burn forming under a magnifier glass......... before you can see it with the naked eye.........................gives you a 2-4 day head start on backing down nute Ec "If" needed ok.................. nice work, nice up date.......... very healthy dames........... good job white......
