New Grower First grow ever. Will keep updated regularly. Feel free to tag along

Also I wanted to add in that I am waiting on a free sample of mega crop to come in and next grow is going to be a mega crop grow, start to finish. It seems simpler to mix one solution and maybe some cal-mag than having 3 different nutes to worry about. If anyone has any experience or recommendations for using mega crop, I would greatly appreciate any insight you have.

Hey man ease over to my journal and check out my new 1000w burple led i bought new for $40.97 with all the credits my misses makes for breaking my bank on Amazon! Lol

What point do you typically introduce the flower nutes. I am a little torn. I was thinking maybe a week more of veg nutes and then start a 50/50 mix or should I hold off a bit more to see if they are still growing up but just slower? I'm in uncharted territory now and I don't want to hurt yields because of being impatient.

You can start now just slowly increase PK and decrease nitrogen. So with every week you can slowly change it over. For example I use the flora trio gen hydro. I use 2-2-.5 in veg and 2-1-2 then 2-0-4 in flower.

Daily update

Day 38 widows
Day 33 Zkittlez

~69°F lights off, 77°F lights on
~30-40%RH
-No water
-No nutes
-18/6 light cycle
-Light distance 24 in

The girls are just hanging out. I am watching the zkittlez keep growing and she looks nice and has a bunch of pistils shooting all over the place. The widow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] is getting frostier by the day and the budsites are starting to fill in nicely. She is still pretty short at 10 in so maybe I'm just going to have a toddler. The zkittlez keeps stretching and is looking to be the tallest plant for sure by the end of this grow. Til tomorrow!

There are some awesome megacrop journals here in afn!
Fwiw my 2nd plant, gorilla blue, is on a megacrop feed routine and she seems to love it. I tried working my way up to full strength feeds but she does not seem to like that so ive been sticking with 3/4 strength.
This next bit is anecdotal, but megacrop seems to drop my water ph. This has actually worked out in my favor as lately my tapwater averages ph of 7-7.5
I add the megacrop in and it seems to stabilize the ph, im cool with that.
I have done 2 topdressings of roots organic elemental for calmag, and nothing else but the megacrop this whole grow. Gb is flowering, looking all right, and doin her thing.
I am going to do another water only grow next round, but i do think ill be running 2 llants in coco loco with the megacrop. Its simple and im down with that !

Day 39 widows
Day 34 Zkittlez

~68°F lights off, 76°F lights on
~35-45%RH
-No water
-No nutes
-18/6 light cycle
-Light distance 24 in

So the girls are just chilling. I took off the training wires now and I'm just letting em do their thing. The bigger widow is getting frostier by the hour it seems, which is a nice sight to see. The buds are starting to fatten up on that one a lot, and I think I'm going to go with a 50/50 veg/flower feed next go and then transition to flower nutes on next feeding after that. I am starting to think that this will be a somewhat of a small yield this run but hey I know I have flowers coming in so I'm happy regardless. The zkittlez is looking like it will be the biggest producer of it can fill in the gaps. It has really good 2-3 inch spacing between nodes and a bunch of preflower all over the place. If those get fat then I'm going to say that will be the prize. Widow [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] is lagging behind with flower development and the canopy is so dense because of how it grew that I feel like the lower buds might now be very big at all. Who knows only time will tell! Well til tomorrow!

Those are looking good, color and development are nice. I think you'll have a pretty good yield for your effort. Enjoy
