She's looking amazing and still a lot of time left for the buds to bulk up by the look of it.
I love how the tent you've shot it against looks almost like one of those curtains they shoot school photos on. She'd definitely be in the popular crowd.
much appreciated mate, she's not too shabby for a first go
3-4 weeks at least yep, plenty of time to pack some weight on.
the background? just a blackout curtain the missus got for her wacky sleep patterns
beats the magnolia wall and lets me get snaps without the flash.
got another one for ya coming up soon!
What are your thoughts on the AN nutes? Everyone has such mixed opinions on them and they're so expensive in the UK, but I wouldn't mind giving them a go. The guy in my hydro store just rolled his eyes at me and said "yeah well this ain't Cali" when I asked about them. Whatever that means...
haha i see many a comment about how expensive they are...
i'm a seeing-is-believing kinda guy. once i got my head around the absolute basics, i focused on what options were the most straight forward and suitable for a novice like me, and then looked up journals of people combining the similar ingredients i was interested in ie: soil, LED etc etc
it became abundantly clear how important pH is very quickly - so many journals have periods where pH fluctuations cause big trouble. but then there's some guys shrugging their shoulders, putting out exemplary plants and claiming they don't check pH, ever. i researched the AN pH Perfect range and, sure enough, they claim you'll never have to check your pH again!
i selected a medium that others have used with their pH Perfect nutes and achieved excellent results.
it's not even so much the fact that pH'ing nutes and monitoring pH is that much of a drag - i'm sure just adding that step to usual feeding regime is no problem...my thinking was more that surely it's an effective way of preventing pH issues from happening altogether?
i'm 50 days in this weekend and i've got two ladies living up to expectations.
the downside (sigh) is that if i run in to any severe problems, i'm not very well equipped to deal with it. traditionally if you develop a problem, the first thing you want to check is the pH
as for not being in Cali...i assume your Hydro Shop understand the price tag that comes with keeping a jar full of something nice in the UK?
but there's more!
i'm sure using the full AN line up with all the bells and whistles does become rather expensive, especially if you are fronting the cost all at once.
i'm using only the bloom base nutes, 1L bottle of each. my girls are still shouting at me for their 1.5ml per L feeds for being too saucy. these bottles will last me a whole bunch of plants.
the extras - Voodoo Juice, Carboload and Overdrive - i purchased only the 250ml bottles. at 1ml per L, again these are gonna last me several grows.
i know you're in to coco, and admittedly as i committed to soil early on, i don't read many coco journals. i don't know how successful the AN Coco nutes are as they don't have the buffering power of the soil.
that was a lot of words just to say, basically, i rate Advanced Nutrients.
i don't know how other ranges stack up £££ wise as i've only looked at AN really, and i'm happy so far with results.
)))) Let me know how you go.
