New Grower Redo of a Failed CBD Lavender and possibly a Buddha Seeds Red Dwarf

Day 34
75F
39%

1 drop Super Thrive
1/5 Tsp Rapid Start
Full dose (1tsp) MicroBlast

I just watered them with un-Ph-ed (which is 7.8) water and the above items. I PH-ed the run off at 4.2... Is that normal? None of those Nutrients are that heavy, nothing like Grow/Bloom/Catalyst. Plant looks great. Just a cautionary tale Twin 1 is severely stunted. That was the one that was supposed to die. It is like half the size of twin 2 (who is right on par with "Le Pew"). Bud sites are very much behind in size being 6 days ahead. I thought it would have recovered, but i don't think it ever will. Ill take a picture after the dark period.
 
Sorry man I use a different product and Im completely unfamiliar with that specific product. I know when I used nutes if I wanted to use something similar id think like.Well autos everything is half first off.then foliar strength it most often found in the range of 5-15% of full strength n then apply as needed and just use good judgment.Thats what I would recommend ,but again Im not a nute guy.Hope that helps ya buddy.looking good dude. I stopped running nutes for that reason.That PH thing man..want nooo parts of it man and I mix pretty much according to soil specs n have little to zero issue.thats a fair part of why organics rules imo.but thats another story..lol Im Bias.You have a soil probe?an accurate 8 er anything clean new and you can let sit for a day n dont touch it?that often works several times with them cheaper ones and it'll give ya a fair reading too.but I dont run stuff like that anymore.Sorry buddy.someone'll slide by prolly.if not hit me up dude no worries.:pass:
 
With numbers as wildly disparate as that I'd start looking at the equipment, not the soil/nutes.
 
Just 2 quick updates I have a picture of the stunted "twin 1" do you guys think it will ever recover?
2nd if you are thinking about buying a cheap LED Light. Here's some info on it (the distance 18" veg and 12" Flower) heres the link where I got it http://www.ebay.com/itm/300W-LED-Gr...3115391?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item43c123277f and the link where I found the distance http://www.topledgrowlight.com/led-grow-light-100x3w.html#.U88EvY1OXIW

Whats the Best DIY cheap co2 method..... I found 2 thus far, Seltzer water?, and sugar and activated yeast... Anyone have any better ideas you guys can see my grow situation, I think my Lights are just enough to use minor co2 supplementation.
 
Hey any itntermediate or advanced can you check my theories/ previous to this post and just answer dumb questions. Just for any people wanting to know about early harvest. the twin i thought would die (who is now 6 days ahead)... twin1 . is ahead it has immature tri-comes... but this strain is a CBD Lavender and I pulled all of the early calyxes and quick dryed them. i felt a surprising body high and short length (30min) head high very comfortable. I know they are early, i was surprised i felt any reaction. dont base early harvest on this, it was a surprise.

I don't think there is anything to recover from, based on the picture it looks healthy enough, and there was never any guarantee they were going to be the same(in the same way children of the same parents vary). If you could afford to spend a little more I think you could get a much better light, but that's my opinion, maybe we could get some more folks in here to comment on what they think. When I say more I'm thinking around 150 if you could swing that.

The thing about CO2 supplementation is there are a couple of important factors to keep in mind before considering it. 1.) Are you able to seal your space to allow enough time for your plants to fully utilize the CO2 you're giving. 2.) Are you maxing all the growth potential of the plants, because if not your energy would be better spent making more ideal grow conditions, CO2 won't make up for conditions that aren't ideal(with the 1 exception of high heats) in terms of yields or potency. But to answer your question more completely you could look into CO2 producing mushrooms, they'll give you the best/most consistent results.


If I missed anything let me know, and I'll swing back through when I get a minute. Good luck, and things are looking pretty solid man.

Day 39

Full dose (1 TBSP) Grow
Full Dose (1Tbsp) Bloom
Full Dose (1 tsp) Catalyst
1/5 Tsp Rapid start
1 Drop Super Thrive

The twins are definitely not fraternal looks like Arnold and Danny Devito in "Twins". Twin 1 is in full bloom but with obvious size issues. Ill be happy to get a quarter out of it, but twin 2 is on schedule for a solid ounce. The plant i assumed was a skunk may not be one after all, the smell is pretty weak. This plant is on schedule to be a beast, I accidentally topped it, right before preflower. Every thing you can google about topping autoflowers says don't do it. I disagree, I bet any strong (solid plants) can take the top and recover fine. Just recently a AFN member said something along the lines of " why have one main cola, when you can have like 10," This plant definitely has like 6 strong colas. Ill add pictures Later after the dark period.
 
Heres some Pictures. I can not complain at all all three of these Plant are responding great. I changed to feeding the plants every other water, instead of every third day. I gave them a cal-mag foliar (1 tsp per gallon). I do that like every third or fourth day.
