hi mate ,I put some pics up of .........my cheese , .

had a shock today when watering ,EC IN 1.4 .....EC OUT 2.5 .
never had it that high before ,cannot understand it ,my highest feed I ever done on this grow was EC 1.8 then I started dropping the feed slightly each water ....1.6 then ....1.4 ,runoffs was ok ,but this morning 2.5 runoff .

 

[budolskie]

[budolskie]

Haha I will hav a green Xmas like I can't wait

PM treatment. Neem works well. As too does one part milk to five parts water. H2o2 could also help.
More air movement and lower RH.

Some of those leaves look like an Mg def for sure.

Classic symptoms.

Whilst some look like over fert.

A high EC solution or rootzone can hinder uptake of Mg too. Aswell as soggy acidic soil.


Regardless though they're still looking really good.

good show there j mate ,

 

[budolskie]

always good j,,,,,, quick q for u.... the grow shop dude has told my m8 no one uses canna pro soil so he doesnt sell it and talked him into canna coco which he aint really got a clue about......

can u give me a few pointers for him....

like ph, any nutes does he need ec meter..... his pips have just germed and will be going in today or tomoz i think.... but will be back up in few hours with mine when get out to water

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

all i've used for years is canna coco pro. our local water is great the canna line of nutes too. A&B and PK 13/14 all you need, maybe the rhizotonic for the cuts and cannazyme if your going to re use the coco

pH 5.8 every feed going in.

EC meter is ideal.

Start off EC
0.6-0.8 seedlings
0.8-1.0 early veg
1.0-1.2 vigorous veg
1.2-1.4 during stretch
1.4-1.6 during initial flower setting and PK1314 week.
1.2-1.4 later flowering
0.6-0.8 last 2 weeks of flower.

Shouldnt be far wrong following that as a first time.

[jondamon]

Coco A and B
Rhizotonic 2ml per litre during veg. 0.5ml per litre during flower
CANNAZYM 2.5ml per litre after week2 of veg.
PK1314 0.5-1.5ml per litre during weeks 3-5 of 12/12.


I like using the CANNAZYM as it helps to slow down a population if springtails that inevitably find their way into my groom.

[jondamon]

If he doesn't fancy getting an EC meter then he could just go to the CANNA website and do the nutrient calculator.

Base it on light feeding and he shouldn't have a problem.


I'm just OCD about runoff testing and plant performance etc.

[Don Gin and Ton]

we are polar opposites, i never have run off, and adjust feed by looking at the plant.

 

[budolskie]

i will right that down for him cheers, just uploading the pics of mine now be back in bit

 

[budolskie]

well heres the few pics just gave a nice watering over the toilet,

140ml ionic bloom
15ml ionic boost
7.5ml cal mag
10ml ginourmus
20ltrs water......
ph 6.7


1st 3 pics afghan kush
2nd 3 the blue rhino
3rd 3 the powdery mildew caramel (bastard man)
4th 3 the critical 47
and last 3 off them back in the tent.....

start of week 6 now since flipping to 12/12, will get sum up off the leaves now

 

[jondamon]

Doesn't Mg and Ca get locked up from the abundance of K that would inevitably build up in the coco?

Do you use a lighter feeding regime if you're not getting any runoff or do you use a plain water feeding here and there?

Do you allow the coco to dry out?


Personally I feed right at the brink gauging runoff EC vs mix EC to see how they're performing. I feed every other day.


What sort of numbers are you pulling?

My last couple of harvests have been 427g, 439g from my 400w.

Hoping this time with mainlining to break the 450g mark.
