New Grower First time grow

[Sqwirlman]

I am thinking that the red colored stems on the fan leaves is a cal mag issue. Started to see some rust colored spots on a couples of the leaves. Added 10 ml of gringo Rasta cal-mag to my water today. Will update if I see any changes.

Day 48 pH RO water day. pH 6.5 1 and 1/4 gallons per plant. Run ppm was 200-400. Last feeding 3 days ago at 1500 ppm with a pH of 6.5. Hindu Kush is showing more pistil growth.

Extra cal mag has seemed to be the answer also.

Day 49 Hindu Kush is still stretching but has formed a few pistils at each node should I switch from open sesame to beastie blooms?

Day 60. Switched the lights to 12-12 three days ago to see if I could jump start the flowering on the two Hindu Kush. They are going to out grow my tent at this rate. They are 36 inches tall. Emailed growers choice and they said that with only 10% ruderalis in them they may need to be triggered to flower. Going to keep the lights at 12-12 till I see some flower growth and switch them back to 18-6 at that point and see what happens. I am a little disappointed about this and will probably not use GC autos on my future grows. Over all I think the girls are doing pretty good for my first grow. The smaller tangerine dream in the front left has some great looking flowers. Picked up a UV-B kit from California light works also.

Thank you. I am excited to give it a try. I am going to run the UV-B lights for 4 hours per day in the middle of my daylight schedule. Might bump it up a little if the girls can tolerate it.

Have been seeing an increase in pistils on the Hindu Kush over the past few days. The Hindus have also really stretched out. Decided to super crop them to even out the canopy and increase the lights back to 18-6. Fingers crossed they will start to pick up the pace and continue to flower at 18-6.

I also gave all 4 girls a good flushing this weekend and switched back to 5 ml cal-mag with just my feedings. I think this will be enough to finish the grow. I also did not flush with RO water this time. I used straight well water. I put 2 tsp of sledgehammer in the first and last gallon of flush per plant. Each plant received 9 gallons of flush. I think this will also help with my cal- mag issues. My well water ppm’s at 350-400.
