Indoor Mr. Nicesmokes Bad Bettys and Fullautos Medusas Fruit Test Runs

I like the AN nutes ph perfect nutes as they DO adjust your ph automatically to the right level when your using r/o or distilled water. They do seem to have made my plants healthier lookin then when i used ffof and ff nutes. I only have 30 days of using them under me so far so i can't pass or fail them on that little of a trial. I will say this,using promix/an nutes ph perfect seems to be more work/time involved. #1 you do NOT ever let your pots dry completely out like you do with soil in between waterings-it causes a host of fun problems with ph and leaves. #2 I'm using AN Budcandy/water for midweek watering-u do have to ph up/down this mix as it does NOT self adjust-and if left and used the way it is WILL cause troubles. I'm pretty sure i'm experiencing some sort of lockout/deficiency at the moment as i have some serious leave yellowing beginning to happen at the bottom of all plants and it definately has to do with ph and probably salt buildup. There is a learning curve with this stuff and i'm feelin like a new grower all over again as alot of these problems i had when i started in ffof. I also noticed these problems don't start to close to the 30 day mark of the plants life-i have some 20 day old Medusas that look beautifully green and healthy right now,we'll see in another week how things are. DubV and WVR have given me alot of help so far while using this new setup. I think once you learn about the AN line and get the bugs worked out it will produce some amazing plants.Hope that helps you out some.

Not really much of an update more of a chaos in the closet alarm lol. Having some issues workin the bugs out of learnin the promix/AN nutes. My 4 females and 1 breeding male have developed some issues with yellowing and it is beginning to progress up the plants at a slow but steady pace. Being a newbie to this soiless/nute combo i'm lost and having the patience of a gnat at this point. Dr. Dub has requested some info and closeups to try and help so here we go! Last feed was 8/31 and consisted of 10ml sensi grow a/b,6 ml voodoo juice,6 ml b52 to 1 1/2 gallons r/o water. PPM IN was 401 and ppm OUT was 508,ph IN was5.9 and ph OUT was6.36. No calmag has been added up to this point. All plants have been partially pollinated now as the lone male is pumpin out the lovedust and servicin 4 ladies. Got to get 4-5 weeks more outta them for a f2 seedrun.

my k.i.s.s. answer is, pot bound, the pots to small for size of plants!:smokebuds:

Well,i guess if your right that speaks loads for the AN nutes as that plant is at day 34 right now lol. She is the biggest of my breedin girls,6" taller then her 3 sisters comin in at 28". However-all of her sisters have the same discoloration. Plants are in 1 gallon smartpots-lord i hate to see what they'd look like in 3 gallon pots lol.

Day 36 in the Medusas Fruit saga and with alot of help from Dub with these AN nutes hopefully i'm back on track. It appears my problem was underfeeding and i needed to add a little calmag to the party.Last nite all the ladies had a supper of 10ml sensi grow a/b,1ml calmag,4ml b52,6ml voodoo juice,4 ml budcandy to 1 gallon distilled water. Each plant got 1 liter plain water,1 liter feed and then 1 liter plain water. As of this morning vertical growth has commenced and the ladies range from 23"-28 1/2". tonite the pots were runnin a little dry and i won't be here tomorrow to tend them so they got another water with budcandy and some myco madness to hold them over. All 4 of the ladies have been successfully pollinated by the lone Medusa male-head to toe dustin. It appears to have taken as alot of the dusted flowers have turned to brown/orange and withered up. with a little luck there will be a good bunch of f2 Medusas Fruit seeds to play with. I wanted to be a little picky on my selection but with only 1 male i had no choice there. The 3 short bushy females are my top choice as i want them short,i did dust the amazon Medusa and marked her so i know to seperate those seeds from the rest and see if she passed on her leggy trait. A few pics until the next update-you can see the effects of underfeed aand calmag around the bottoms of the plants.Last pic is of the runt 24 day old BAD Betty-considering i started with just a green stem after the cotydons and initial seedleaves died i think shes comin along good!

Update at day 39 for the Medusas Fruit and Bad Betty. Having to water every day now and feed every other day as the girls are ravenous and suckin nutes like cheap beer. Tonite was a feed nite again and they got bumped up to 1/2 liter plain water,2 liters feed,and 1/2 liter plain water. Nutes are 12ml sensi grow A/B,1ml calmag,4ml budcandy,4 ml b52 added to 1 gallon r/o water-all plants get 2liters each of feed,1 plant i bumped up to 13ml sensi grow A/B as its 6" bigger then her sisters. After DubV suggested i was way underfeeding and i got the hang of ppms in and out the yellowing leaves has all but stopped. Can't thank dub enuf for helpin me out on my first try with the AN line of nutes! Lookin like my pollination was a success as i'm startin to see tiny seed pods formin everywhere and i do mean everywhere-course i dusted them thoroughly head to toe over a couple day period lol. The Medusa male pollen donor came down tonite after i shook the hell out of him and collected a ton of pollen for storage/freezing for an upcoming project.He got chopped into pieces and given an honorable burial in my raised bed vegetable garden. The lone Bad Betty at day 27 has reached transplant size finally and will hit a 1 gallon pot tomorrow-hopefully a few more days and it'll show sex-it better be female after this pampering. Almost forgot-the medusas are startin to sugar up a little-noticed some crystals formin tonite. A few pics of the Medusas for tonite.

Day 43 in the Medusas Fruit saga and the cab is rockin! Started bloom nutes last nite with 12ml sensi bloom a/b,8ml big bud,2 ml bloombastic,1ml calmag and they took it on the chin and asked for more. Plants have shot out to 31"-33" and bushed out crazy,all the yellowing has pretty much disappeared do to underfeeding and their nice and green. Startin to throw some sugar on the budleaves and the multitude of seed pods have swelled up nicely. Looks to be a helluva crop of f2's developing. The smell has gone off the charts and true to their moms they smell like a mango truck wrecked in the cab lol. My amazon Medusa hit 33" tonite and has formed a 12" cola for her crown and is already topheavy this early-i can see some sort of stake system in her future or she's gonna fold sometime down the road.Finding it hard to believe a plant this size can come out of a 1 gallon smartpot,can't imagine what they'd be in a 3 gallon pot. Now that i got some of the bugs worked out of the AN nutes thanks to DubV i'm impressed with the results thus far,looks like they blow my old foxfarms nutes out of the water.Took 1 cab shot tonite,next update i'll line'm up for mugshots!
