Indoor Elite garden nutrients

[Discretepete2676]

@Waira my photoperiod buddy said he feels it's more of a base line needing some additives. I already know how I'd approach next round. A shot of insta-green around day 35 to hold me over on the N, big bud from day 30-40 and elites resin D and some monster bloom or bloom booster a couple times from day 40 until flush. I also thought about grabbing avalanche too as it does work wonders! One of the best hardeners out there in my opinion

Hey guys these are just my thoughts so take with a grain of salt..Maybe it was my misunderstanding but when i started using these nutes,in order to give a "newb" evaluation of what someone could expect,someone that never used them,,I was going straight off the feed schedule. I feel that if i paid very good money for them,they should give an above average grow without having to use anything else,cause imo there would be no sense in buying a multi bottle kit if it still needed extra items added..the fact that most folks will "half" the feed recommendation because they are growing autoflowers adds to the issue.when i initially mixed a batch at half,then checked the ppm,it was reeaallyy low,even when mixed at full strength it was still low imo,this is based off my experience with the Lucas ratio because it is already at the low side of the feed ppm and i still dont use it at full strength.the target feed is 100-100-200-60 for Lucas.. I didnt run the nutes thru the nutrient calculator to see what "mix" would be required to hit those numbers but im sure it can reasonably be done,problem is,it would not be the feed schedule from the flyer,and for a "newb" to use them based off the flyer,only to have dissatisfaction and early yellowing and stunted bud growth would put Elite in a "bad light" and i dont think thats the case...im rambling but you get what im saying.imo a fair evaluation would be based off the feed schedule and no additives... I will finish the test but did add a shot of cal mag to the last feed,i also went above the scheduled 8 week feed to get a higher ppm,it is documented for all to see,being in coco i should have clarified from the start that this should have been done,just because of the media...

Update: another feed last night and i adjusted the feed ratios up a little more to try and get the ppm closer to where i feel they need to be..after all was added/mixed the total ppm was 1250,this does include the starting water ppm of 250,so 1000 ppm of nutes,this will be as high as i take the feed since the plants are on the downside getting close to harvest,at this point i will wait to see it the swell comes on strong but besides the early yellowing they dont look as bad as my descriptions may sound,yes the plants seem shorter than im used to but this could just be the strain,the buds/flowers do have a serious frost going on,one of each strain does seem to be taking things a bit better and the buds are dense with good structure..more updates and better pics coming soon...good grow karma sent for al your grow...

Hey guys.

I hope you dont think I ditched you, i have however failed to complete the grow due to a relative passing away and her daughter is now staying with us in my house. Long story short i had to give up my grow room for more free space...

It hurt to cut those 3 beauties down, the AUs got cut around day 70 i think and they were absolutely MASSIVE!! They grew out my 120x120cm tent in all directions i had to move the sodk x alien out and it was just starting to pick up on growth to when cut.

I also had to cut my entire 15 plant coco SOG, that sucked to..

Anyways, my impressions of Elite nutrients during this time is that it was super easy in hydro(VERY little pH fluctuations) and very concentrated(not paying for water here) and as i said before they outgrew my space

Just now I have managed to get a new small space and 2 Sweet Seeds Red Poison just about to break ground. 1 in coco and 1 in light mix both with Elite nutrients, i will try to update regularly again.

Sorry guys.

Hey man, no worries, we understand life happens sometimes and there's nothing we can do but the right thing, which you did. What's important here is that you've returned and are trying to continue forward and pick up where you left off. Hope to see some pictures and updates of the new ladies soon!!! Thanks for giving us an update, I was just thinking about you my friend!

Mang @Dudeski i dont run scrubbers/filters and i can smell these upstairs!! Im glad i chose this strain to grow and would definately be better prepared for the next batch to sprout!! Cant wait to run some more live extracts with this harvest!! I cant even more these plants without em shooting the air like a skunk!!
