Indoor Ryker604's Indoor Extravaganza feat. AutoPots, BioTabs, HID lights and 17 plants

Yeah but WHY do you have a calmag problem dude?

Yeah but WHY do you have a calmag problem dude?

Well, currently the train of thought is this: (almost? :smoking too much light for 4 autoflowers ---> need much food ----> grow big ----> need even more food ----> starting to run out of (CalMg) gas ----> start showing deficiencies.

At least something like this .

You're on the too-much-food in general front, eh?

EDIT: And yeah, the reason why they run out of CalMg is because coco is inert, I don't use a liquid CalMg nutrient (and BioTabs don't have any) and the amount I amended the substrate with is not enough .

Ryker, i go with what you think. Coco needs alot of calmag, and the bigger girls have bigger needs. And with alot of light (pushing them a tad to much, hence the crispy/yellowing) they need/use even more nutrients, i think you are spot on regarding the nutes, but It still takes me back to the co2... interesting. .
Can you confirm your co2 matches the amount of light you give your girls? And your temps play a roll here aswell as according to your meters they are up to 28-29°C?

Also, every strain or even pheno can handle different kind of pressure, some strains love it while some strains dislike beeing pushed.

It has been said but the easiest fix is to back of the light a bit so you dont push them to hard.


Ps, you were running your light 20/4 or 24/0?

No, can't really confirm the amount of CO2 in the grow room matches 4x600W of HPS light but the grow room has it's door wide open let's say and they have access to a lot of fresh air, I made sure of that. However, it could be that with a higher level of CO2 the plants could handle the lights easier .

The hygrometer pics aren't that precise as I sometimes take the picture 20 minutes after I raised the lights which then shine directly on it and it shows a bigger temp. There were spikes in temp (with AMBIENTAL temps being 28 at the highest and 23 at the lowest) but most of the flowering we're looking at 24-27 °C with a RH of around 40%, so think that I'm good in that department .

I'm running light 20/4 and I raised them a week ago but unfortunately I haven't seen the girls in a week (business trip ), so don't know yet how much effect it had but I'm thinking that it should help and it's probably the best thing I can do right now.

Thank you for you input dude, nice to hear more opinions .

Haven't had an update in a couple of days, let's do a quick one :

DAY 57

Girls are chuggin' along, everything is frosting and budding nicely with the DG's still ahead. Nothing special happened just waiting for more flowers .

Tent 1:










Tent 2:








Tent 3:





This CM is the front right in the tent and really makes me believe that the lights were too close as she is shorther 10 cm than the rest of the tent and looks the best definitely :






Tent 4:









That's all folks .

Looks great in here man!

Great journal. Love the 4 tents and variety. And learning from what is happening and the back and forth dialogue. Good stuff.

Definitely agree with that sentiment

Fook knows @Ryker604 is beyond my skills now mate!

Too much light seems like a good option but I am high as a kite on cheeeeese

Looking very bloody cool anyway mate, and have you posted me that 2 oz of double grape yet?

(Authorities: That is a JOKE)

Love the variety and amount of buddage in your gardens dude. Well Jell as my daughters probably said about a decade ago

 

[Hippy_BiotabsF70]

And S bring that 4th tent in from the arctic for goodness sake! -50 outside temp still dude, sort it out mate

 

[Hippy_BiotabsF70]

Mate out of interest, I have some autos at my GF's that I have started in root riots and now in 4 litre pots of coco. Double potted, with strips cut out of the sides and bottom of the inner pot. When I transplant up to final pots I'll just slip the outer pot off and plant the slotted pot. Saw someone on here do it.
