SSSC Sweet Bourbon Kush Auto solo - MarsHydro vs. HLG

[DDubs]

Day 40,
Water 1 X every 2 days 200ml.
Maxigrow/Maxibloom sometimes add CaliMagic or Epsom.
pH 5.7-5.9 EC 1.4

HLG (Comp Plant)
Treating both plants the same but the HLG girl seams to be a bit more thirsty and squat. All in all, Doing well and smelling up the tent real nice.

Mars (a little somethin' extra)
A bit of yellowing down low, I'm guessing she was just hungry for some P/K. I am transitioning to bloom nuits so hopefully that will slow it down. She's a bit taller than her sister and has a lankier structure but still fairly short.

Day 46,
Water 1 X every 1-2 days @ 250ml
Maxigrow/Maxibloom sometimes add CaliMagic or Epsom.
pH 5.7-5.9 EC 1.8

HLG (Comp Plant)
Showing more signs of issues with rust looking spots, yellowing leaves and purple stems. I thought it was Cal / Mag but it doesn't look like she is responding to the CaliMagic. I will switch to Epsom and extra P/K to see if that helps. I suppose that's the nice thing about coco. Just about instant reaction.

Mars (a little somethin' extra)
Taller structure than her sister but same signs of deficiency with the leaf damage. I'll adjust her feed today and see if it improves.

Hang on a sec... I just re-read something, are you only giving 250ml once a day, every other day? Is that correct? On the coco solo's I'd expect 250ml twice a day everyday. If you're having some nute issues perhaps upping the fertigation frequency and check the runoff ppm/pH and make sure you're not having a salt build up in the bottom of the cup.

Ya, I've been waiting for the soil to dry out a bit before feeding again because she just not drinking like she should be. After relooking at everything, I think I'm actually in excess P/K which is showing up as Cal /Mag deficiency. I keep trying to "fix" the deficiency but make more problems for myself. I'm going to drop the feed level to EC1.2 with base nutrients only, no additives and see how they react. Maxibloom is 5-15-14 so adding even more P/K is throwing them off even further.

Day 53,
Water 1 X every 1-2 days @ 150ml
Maxibloom/ Epsom/ Crystal Burst
pH 5.7-5.9 EC 1.8

HLG (Comp Plant)
Still trucking along and flowering up. I decided to switch up my feed a bit to try and match the recommended 3-2-1 / 1-2-3 NPK ratio for veg and bloom. By using the Maxigro and adding Crystal Burst I get a NPK ratio of 10-15-29. I willtry this through the rest of this grow just to see what happens.

Mars (a little somethin' extra)
Looking about the same as her sister which makes me think there nutrients are off. If anything this was a good show that I need to work on my feeding.

Day 60
Water 1 X everyday @ 150ml
Maxigro/ Crystal Burst
pH 5.8-5.9 EC 1.8

HLG (Comp Plant)
She was doing well on her new feed schedule until I noticed some signs of N tox with downward pointing leaves. I'm going to go back to the bloom feed schedule from here on out.

Mars (my side girl)
Not looking any worst than the last time but she started showing some N tox as well. Just goes to show me that I'm struggling a bit with a balanced feed. Still budding with a nice dense cola.

Day 67
Water 1 X everyday @ 150ml
Maxigro/ Crystal Burst
pH 5.8-5.9 EC 1.8

HLG (Comp Plant)
She looking good all in all. Slight fade to the leaves but still pushing flowers. Just a ridiculously dense cola nugg. A leaf rub gives me a bit of a lemon/citrus smell.

Mars (my side girl)
Looking like the nicer of the two girls, bad pick on my part I guess. Still a nice looking plant and flowers are busting out like crazy.

Twins is the best way to go and i like to do so as well, but do i see some tomatoes in there?

Lol, ya. I must have seeds in my worm composting bin. The spouts randomly popped up and I couldn't bring myself to bin them so I let them grow. I just use the runoff and leftover water from the girls. No waste

Day 74
Water 2 X everyday @ 150ml
Maxigro/ Crystal Burst
pH 5.8-5.9 EC 1.8

HLG (Comp Plant)
She just about ready for my liking, just want a few more amber trichs. I will probably start to harvest next weekend.

Mars (my side girl)
She has a bit of a foxtail thing going on. I'm not really sure what's going on as she's only getting around 800ppfd. Trichs are still mostly cloudy so I will let it go for another week.
