QUICK FEED UPDATE?
Well last night decided to give small feed to start ,0.5ml Micro 1ml Bloom ppm 460, last out were at 6am lights on 12pm checked my ph 6.0 my ppms down to 420,
So today given 1ml Micro 2ml Bloom ppm 490, so will just leave her be as she taking up the nutes fast, so will check ppm later tonight and let her do her thing
I will just monitor the ppms and adjust accordingly, as my tap water has a starting ppm of 300, thats why i used bottled low ppm 100 water to start with, then moved over to tap water in bucket, adding 3ml Calmag and now 1.5ml M 3ml B in total giving me the ppm 490, so just keeping all data in spreadsheets an wkly charts, to track and monitor progress, so for now will monitor above and increase gradually 100ppm a wk, so does this all sound about right to you guys, also been adding pyscho mycho 0.5 tsp to res aswell, but only on wkly basis well just added to res for 1st time as it says to use 5gms to 35ltr so used half that, so not sure how often to add every 3-4 days, or when I do water change, not sure about this one, any ideas guys, I know you probably wont of used it, but it says it as all the good stuff in for plants etc, but so far so good, used on roots dry and they some do be growing well, but trail an error I guess lol
So thanks guys any advise when to add or how often to add the p/myco would be great as not sure on that one, so thats where things are at, been giving a light foliar spray 2x a day with low ppm added nutes at 200 ppm aswell, so things all looking great and are where they should be, feeling so much better about this now, esp with what happened to the poor old W/W, but making sure this Haze as the best chance, so things all looking up seem to be getting a good understanding so far, just see how i go on this next stage feeding, so will be same tactics slow an steady and just wait for the plant to tell me, as longs I keep within the feeding parameters things should be ok, so will just go slow and build up slowly, giving her time to take it all up, so I think thats about it for this wk my friends, so I will give update during the wk unless i run into an issue of course, but will take on what you guys have told me and its doing job, so thanks peeps its much appriciated, so hope you all have a great wkend enjoy be safe and be happy

UPDATED
After first feed checked ppm its down to 440ppm from 490, my base water was about 340 and ive added 3ml Calmag 1,5 ml Micro 3ml Bloom which gave me a starting ppm 490, which I know is on the high side for plants stage, but later checked and its down to 440ppm, so I went an added another 1ml Micro 2ml Bloom which has brought it brought it back up to 497ppm PH6.05 is this what I should of done? but no side effects yet just watching an waiting for the plants to show me any signs of excess nutes, so new to all this an just want to know what Im doing is right, as only been able to go off what ive researched online, so any help or advise would be great esp to let me know im doing things kind of right lol so just wanted to know what im doing with the nutes is ok

Well after last wks power cut,,,been no ill effects of having no air, or light or air movement for 18hrs,,,so continued to reduce and begin her last wk,,,just been giving tap water around 280ppm going to lower to 100ppm around wednesday and begin a 2 day flush,,,doing a 2 day flush as been reducing ppms over the last 4wks,,,now she used up her stores in her leaves so going to drop ppm then flush,,,and followed by 48hrs dark period,,,,then chop at normal lights on time,,,,,,not sure if to harvest her as a whole plant,,,or take and hang dry, her in branches,,,,going to give a light wet trim after chop,,,and hang in dark (in the grow room) with temps around 16c-20c and RH 60%,,,,does that sound about right,,,,as I think might struggle with temps,,,,but we will see will try my best to get close to that,,,,but yeah she looking good for a 1st grow,,,,just watching her triches,,,alot of cloudy no amber as of yet,,,day 96,,,60 days in flower,,,so its about time now,,

HARVEST TIME
Going to chop tomoz day 103 just done 48hr flush,,,she been reducing for over 2wks,,,she has drained all her leaves,,so going to dry trim,,as not many left,she has swelled and matured nicely,,love her colours,,,cant wait to see how she smokes,,,going to try about of everything when she ready,,with the rosin,,,and concentrates,,,and see whats what,,,esp being a newbie always looking to learn and try new things and see what works for me,,,so exciting times ahead,,,all the hard work about to pay off hopefully lol,,,so cant wait for the smoke and quality report,,so will keep you guys posted and see how she goes,,,,but for my 1st ever grow,,well pleased even if its just a plain smoke,,,but will keep me going for a while and certainly will pay for the grow and a little more in return,,after dry,,will give dry weight and see what I pulled thinking about 100-150grams,,,,aiming for a half a gram a watt for my 1st grow or around there
 
QUICK UPDATE (will be day 103 about 70days flower)
So yea going to chop and hang whole at lights on tomoz,not going to trim as she done most of that herself now,,so will dry trim now,,going to try my best to dry around what I mentioned above,,,and we will go from there,,,

Anyone know much about electrics???????
So here goes,,,now Im not using the BP4000,,,and didnt have much time to think or do any adjustments when she came,,just plugged her in and measured height,,,so always wanting to find ways to help or improve things,,,,esp enviroment wise,,did my research as above,,and did alot of plant science,,,and what a cannabis plant needs,,,and how to get that full potential yield,,and 1st Genetics,,,2nd Light,,3rd Enviroment,,4th water,,5th,,Nutes,,6th Co2,,,
So just had abit of time to look at my set up and get things in place for this next run,,so had abit of an issue temp wise,,,,so i was looking at my BP4000 and they get hot,,,the have their drivers on top,,,so what I was thinking is,,,removing the drivers off the board,,,and attaching some more cable to the power output to the board from the drivers,,,so if I extend this and move the drivers outside my grow space somewhere,,,would this be ok,,,as know abit about electrics,,,cant really see any issues,,as long as i get the correct ampage cable to extend,,,,and was thinking about my air pump,,,but if I extended air lines to like 4m lets say,,,,then would that lower total air per min,,,and if so would it work if i added another pump extended to,,,but use the 2 outlets going into 1,,,would that be ok,,,or would the distance be ok?????? any thoughts,,,as now I can call myself a novice grower,,, and know its possible to do now,,So looking long term,,,so just trying to improve things slightly while Ive got the room,,,,and going to put up a scrog net,,,,an homemade version,,,here is what I was thinking,,,,was going to put some batons on all 3 walls ,my bucket is 15in high,,,,so how high would you have 1st net,,,last plant reached just over 100cm,,,so was thinking 1st net 20" above bucket,,and the 2nd support net 18-20" above 1st,,,,how high do you have your scrog Woodl2,,,and I was thinking about putting my small fan in the back corner above the plants,,,just below LED,,,,,and have the bigger lower down,,,,as I will of got the AC infinity 6" extractor and monitor ready to go for the flower stage,,,,any advise or recommendations,,
As looking to do a constant grow using cuttings long term,,,,Ive got an old chest of draws that ive been looking at,,,and turn into like a germination chamber,,,,and maybe split it into 2 levels have mother plant on 1 level top half,,then lower half cuttings,,,as I can use my small 65w Fecida and build this into the top,,,as the fecida did a great job vegging the haze,,,so should do the job,,,,any thoughts or ideas,,,or any plans you would imply,,,throw this way,,,,,so thats what Im thinking,, and the way I want to go I think,,,,
Well guys just trying to improve things while I can,,,and get it all on point when we ready to grow,,,,esp knowing what I do know, i can take this as the marker,,, and have that basic data to refer to now also,,,so not to much to do,,,but we will see the differance on this 2nd grow,,,,,
Hope you guys are well and growing strong,,,thanks for stopping by and if you have any input or ideas try me always willing to listen and try new things,,nothing set in stone yet,,,thats just my plan so I know where Im going and what I wanting to achieve,,,,so thanks guys hope you enjoy your wk,
just a few pics to show Led,,,an cables and what i thinking

Ran into some issues with the Bruce banner F3,,,over fertilized,,,picked up wrong bottled,,,but we flushed her best we could and reset everything and she seems to be picking up now,,,but set me back 2-3wks good job she not an auto,,well just popped another couple of beans,,,thrown an auto in there,,,gone for Barneys Zkittles OG auto,,,and popped a Alien Gorilla fem,,,,going to pop them in my germination chamber with the BB,,,had a couple of issues with seeds staying attached to leaf,,,so been using abit of H202 on my soak,,,the BB popped great no issues we will see how these next 2 sprout,,,,
Using my small Fecida 65w for germination and early veg stage,,,she did a great job with the last grow the Royal haze,,so that going to my plant starter light,, for the 1st 4-5 wks then will move them over to my main grow space with the 350w BP4000,,,,to finish them off,,,,learned so much from my 1st attempt so taking things up to another level now I know I can grow summits worth smoking,,,,so was always looking long term so went down the auto route 1st with just the 1 plant set up,,,to learn the basics and get to grips with dialing everything,,,so good a good understanding of what it takes and how to achieve this now,,,so wanna make sure I optimise my space and light fixture,,,so my grow space is 3x7x8,,,but just using the bottom 3x3 and looking to run the 3 plants in that space,,,then the other bit for my clonning chamber and small light,,,,with not being to confident about the Fem BB f3 being great,,,but we will see how it goes,,,but the plan is run both photos as mothers and use the cuttings etc,,,going to make a cloning chamber for 1 of the mother plants out of a chest of draws,,,top half mother then on the lower on the otherside cutting chamber with the fecida fitted to the top,,,and will put small fan in there to etc and see how it goes,,,,,but you will all see what I mean when the time comes,,,but I think It will work as the Fecida dont give off any heat realy,,,,so alot in the plans to move things forward,,,going to be installing the AC infinity fan an monitor in about 4wks when needed,,,so yeah Im bringing all to the table this time,,not much pressure like,,,thinking Im trying to run before I can walk lol but yeah I deffo think its possible now got the stuff (not AC yet) but everything to go,,,and make a start,,,so we will see,,,hope it goes to plan or I will have the Mrs on my back,,,you know how it is,,,the useal "I told you so" you never listen????pmsl so she not doing that this time,,,will prove her wrong pmsl for the 1st time,,,lol as she always fking right,,,gets on my wick lol,,,but keeps me in good order as she always good an fking right pmsfl,,,,so thanks for stopping by guys,,,and if you see any potential issues please say just a newbie ltrying to learn the ropes or if they is summits you think would be a great addition etc go ahead Im all ears,,,nothing set in stone yet,,always have to plan ahead so I know what Im doing or trying to lol,,,,so any tips or advice would great,,,so hope everyones well and alls growing great
