New Grower PoundLand Vipar 300 wat led first grow (AK49 Auto's)

[whalefish30]

Day 23 : LST seems to have responded well, on half strength poundland feed every other feed.

Day 18 : On just water.

Been a pleasant grow so far, only need watering/feed every 4-5 days still.

Another update, day 29 for 2 plants and day 24 for the other 4, done a few different techniques on different plants to see the outcome. There now on full strengh poundland grow feed and added some epsom salt, also higher'd the light.



Think all is ok and some sign of preflowers on the older 2? any advice much appreciate,ta.

Looking good mate,but isnt that a big jump in nute strength?
Day 23 you were feeding at half strength and now on day 29 youre feeding full strength.
They looked to be doing fine on half strength,to be doubling their feed seems a bit much to me.
Or is that how those nutes are used?

Day 32 & 27

Still on grow feed, shall i keep feeding that for a week or bit more then switch to bloom, one question or some advice when i switch to bloom do i also use the pk feed with it as on the bottle instructions it says to use with bloom, just being safe and asking the experts here before i harm them. Thanks.

Overall they look a bit droopy to me,i think you might have overdone it with full strength.
Just my opinion,someone with more experience than me will be along soon to give you a 2nd opinion.

Lovely bit of growing Whalefish

It's a picture of health - nice flat, thick green leaves - I bet they feel a little velvety? Thats a good thing.
Keep doing what your doing and it's gonna turn out nice!



Edit: I'm no "expert" lol, but i'll try my hand at your answer.

PK booster... Be carefull with that one (and not yet)

Bloom nutes - the accepted "good" advice would be to wait until vertical stretch stops and then start adding the bloom nutes.

Personally - I generally start to trickle in the bloom nutes at about day 40ish and wouldn't start using PK boosters until later on and then only very gently but (personally) every watering (along with my bloom boosters)

Canna PK13/14 is one i have tried but don't use. I dont use it because and awesome grower told me not to lol but also becuase i couldn't work out the instructions (the window of use seems to be about 1 week from cannas instructions)

Now i use Dutch Pro Explode as my PK booster. I start to use it at 1/4 ration of my boost

(that sounds confusing) So for 10ml of boost i will use 2.5 ml of Explode (to start)

I will build up the Eplode to 50% of the boost. So at 10ml boost (eventually ) 5ml Explode.

I do this becuase PK boosters can easily burn the crap out of your plants

Hope this helps a little

all the best
Blue ^_^

Personally I'd keep the grow nutes going a bit longer and stay off the pk boost until the last couple of weeks before flushing.
