@Flipper Which chart are you referring to I have made many?

@Mañ'O'Green - It's a spreadsheet call greenleafnutrients.xlsx...Thanks again for that Sir, here's a screenshot:

With all that light they probably are extra hungry. :smoking:

OMG @HemiSync , thanks for the feedback and yah, I think you're right. Things really went a bit sideways last week. So this tent with my journal plant is new, a second 2x4x6 to go with my other one. I also have a new thermostat switch I'm trying to use to control my exhaust fan. So I've been getting used to a few new things lately.

So anyway, I'm working to get my environment / reservoirs / lights dialed in on the two tents and then we had a couple really cold days. As shown below, my first tent has more in it so that was the priority. Not huge issues but you know...Excuses, excuses, haha...

It was my 2019 resolution to do a journal and get in on the fun here. And to pay you guys back for all I've learned. Here's a wider view of my setup and the contents of tent [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]:

I was late starting this journal and didn't show how I start seeds FYI @MassMom

- I use dechlorinated water of course. Paper towel method but I use a stack of plates on top of a heat mat to control the temp better (my spot is near a window). It's overkill but it works well for me.

@Mañ'O'Green - I'm looking at your chart, one question please - so I'm starting week 6 and you see what she looks like, should I (would you) start the BE now?

Ok so you are in week 6 that puts you in the second week of "flower" nutes on the chart and BE is at 0.8g per gallon. Remember charts are just a guideline reading the plants is important and it looks or looked like they need more nutes.

Thanks Mañ'O'Green, I up'ed the MC and she's looking better today. And ya, understood about the charts being a guideline, it's just what I needed that way.

Hi AFN'ers, here's my day 43 update:

- I had to make room so I moved her to my other tent. She's now under a Black Dog PhytoMax-2 400 along with another LSD-25. She's the one on the left in pic.

- Roughly following Mañ'O'Green's spreadsheet for feeding and she's looking better than last week thankfully. Nothing sensational but I'm happy so far.

GreenLeaf Nutrients now has an online calculator for the old MC1.0 and one for the new MC2.0 Check it out.

Hi all, here is my day 50 update, not much to add this week:

- Finally got both my tents and reservoirs squared away. Got an extra heat mat for the extra cold nights. It snowed here yesterday, there's nothing like having plants going in the dead of winter!

- I'm following the sheet/calculator and the buds are filling in nicely. My journal plant is on the left, the one on the right is also a LSD-25. I'll get better at the photography, sorry. Thanks for following and reading...Flipper
