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

Thanks alot and yeh they do feel velvety lol, thanks of the advice on the feed's i understand it a bit better now.

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.

Again thank you and will be doing just that.

Day 41 & 36 had an accident and snapped one plant but have tapped it up and seems ok.

 

[whalefish30]

Ok since my accident when watering/feeding and damaged my plant i been looking at a watering system so i can stay clear of my plants lol, will something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INSTANT-D...661?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27d1f139cd do the job ok ?

Day 44 & 39 im so excited haha..

Looks perfect for those times where you may be away for a couple of days. 10 Litre capacity would feed my plants for 4-6 days.

I like it! I'm getting one!

There's better solutions for permanant drip watering though. Could look into Autopots for passive hydro or drip feeding for a more start to finish way of feeding (but needs pumps and elecccy)

Hope this helps
