Day 31- Righty:

First, here are both plants..


Here she is all the way around.


Here is a shot of the FIM (It's a little blurry, sorry!). I *think* I see a couple of pistils starting, but I'm not ready to call it yet. She always was a little behind.


I will be upping the bloom nutes a little when I change the res on Monday, and dialing the whole solution back just a hair because I think Lefty's white tips may be due to slight overfeeding.

Are you feeding magnesium? I dont know much bout hydro but pretty sure its almost impossible to feed without ec meter.my opinion is there underfed but you wont know for sure without ppm meter.just my opinion bro but im a soil DUDE.lol

I don't have a tds meter yet. I am trying to get by without one on this first grow. I know I should be using it, but there has just been to many more important things to buy. Ventilation and filtering has been an important goal, because Texas. I have Earth Juice's Cal Mag coming with this last order, and have epsom salts on stand-by, but I haven't seen any Mag issues. There was a Calcium issue that popped up, but I'm 99% certain it was a ph problem, because I adjusted and it stopped. My tap water has Cal and Mag, according to the city water report, but I will start supplementing at a lower level as soon as my juice gets here, just to be sure.

I DO have a digital ph meter coming, so I shouldn't have any more PH issues once that gets here. I have been using the drops which aren't super accurate.

As far as underfeeding, I am hesitant to give them any more. The last time I did, I had to dilute because I was getting issues almost immediately. I am at 2/3 strength now, which is still more than it was before the feeding issues. I may try to bump it up a little two res-changes from now and see what happens, but I don't want to burn them!

yeah your right 2/3 is prolly a tad to much. them pics sure look like phos and mag def to me but like you said don't do anything until you know your ph.hey bro remember you can post pics for help under hospital thread.namvet knows everything bout deficiencies.peace

I have the same issue but more pronounced. Thos is what i meant by HUNGRY. .theirr in super soil an fed seaweed rootbooster mollasis and epson salts and still looking for cal mag. But the buds are producing nicley and she should come down soon. It just seems to draw all the nutrients out of the fan leaves. Pix comming in my thread.
But looking good all the same green jeans.

Day 32:

I tied Lefty down a second time. The plants are now a fairly even height. I don't plan to do any more LST at this point. Only if one becomes clearly taller than the other. I see some growth just since yesterday. I believe they are about to go into stretch mode. Here are some update pics..


Although it is difficult to see where one plant ends and the other begins at this point, here is Lefty:


Righty:

Pay no attention to the thermometer.. It had been sitting outside the box for about 10 minutes.

Looks good man

Nice work greenjeans! You're killing it. Get a ppm/EC meter as soon as you can. With that and a pH meter you'll be able to fine tune your nute concentration for whatever variety of plant you are growing. Once you get the ppms sorted the pH will remain very stable. Ksj has it all nailed down. Once you pinpoint the correct level of feed you can top the res with nute solution instead of plain water which accelerates the growth. All in all you're lighting the world on fire with this grow.
