Dutch Passion Dutch Passion AutoXtreme / Day 22 / Grow Journal

[DarthMaul]

Hey,

I decided to make a grow journal for the Dutch Passion AutoXtreme. The reason that inspired me to do so is our member Billywu. He helped me understand what issues I am having with my grow right now. As you can tell by the deficiencies I am having a possible P def. (see pics below)

BillyWu had the same problem and I'm quoting what he wrote:

This grow turned out to be quite a shit one to be honest, and yeah I think it was because I was using pH+/- with my organic nutrients.

I am not ready to give up on them and will try to see if Billy was right
I will try to stop using the pH +/ - to see if the plant will recover.
I will add lemon or vinegar instead on my next feeding which will be next week.

My setup:

Lights:
1x 400W Mars II light
2x 125W large CFL 6300K
3x 105W large CFL 2700K

Circ.

2x small fans
1x extraction bathroom fan (will be installed once i get it) for now tent stays open.
Tent size: 23x32x64

Nuts:

Biobizz: Biogrow, Biobloom, Topmax
Molasses: Adding 1tps mol. to my feeding once the flowering starts
Epsom Salt: Will be added if needed
Botanicare: Cal/Mag if needed

Cyklos,

I'm a total noob but I think Billywu is right. I was adjusting the PH of the water then adding the nutes and my plants were looking similar. Stopped doing that and they are doing fine.

Good luck on your grow!

Just to show you how monstrous she can become under CFL's imagine what happens with LED HPS ? xD
Here are 2 pics from my last AutoXtreme grow:

Day 30 Update:

Added another 300W LED lamp, left only 2 CFL for side light. Setup feedback appreciated can anything be improved?
I flushed both plants with 3x the amount of pot after that I added 3L of water with nuts (3/4 strength) correctly done?
