Well I don't have a ppm meter, but it didn't get burnt from nutes it got burnt as a clone from staying under the humitiy dome for to long..

I haven't fed any of the plants yet tonight will be there first feeding and I use a mexican bat poop organic tea.

Tea? Brew some up for ur plants eh?

You using nothing but teas? What other nutes you using?

I use just a bat guana tea for veg. my soil has enough stuff in it to keep them going for at lest 5 weeks and add a tes maybe twice after that once every 2 weeks or so.

My flowering nutes i dont make a tea but they are 100%organic I use Bio Bizz Blooom, Fish mix and Top Max

Update coming soon!!

Ya just for veg.

So today i did a little root check and one plant was root bound so i went and bought 7gal. pots hopefully they last me to the end.

I transplanted and gave a good amount of water to simulate my start of week 4 Flush!

The smaller buds are off of the ATF and the bigger ones are off the Headband!!

Looking good !!

Thanks Bro

Well im up pretty early and this cold night got me thinking all night long how my plants are going to do.

It was about 45F last night, and i was praying my old ass theromostat was goign to be effective and not fuck them up.

Well the temps range from 64F-81F and the current temp was 75F and the exhaust fan was shut-off so that means the temps went down to 64F with lights on lol.

So i turned it up the dial a little bit, only a couple of degrees figuring it should be ok since optimal temps should be between 75-85

What do you guys think about these temps and running a little on the cold side i heard was good but when is to cold!

Why is it getting so cold inside ur house? Mine never goes below the temp of the house which is about 70F

I would fear anything under 50 for long periods. looking at advanced techniques and asking at my dispensary cool nights help with resin, because its tring to keep warm. I set my a/c for 60f night 75-77 day. when i turn lights on in the morning my girls are nice and perky, ive been doing this for 3weeks no prob. I think ur fine.

Well the reson for that is my intake is from the outside air and that my grow room isnt part of my house is a pool shed that i converted into a grow room,

I know people say beware of not having your grow in your house for security, but to be honest if dudes are going to rob my grow i would rather have them stay out of my house!!

Also i have my security alarm for my house hooked up to my pool shed! lol so if something does happen it alerts me and the police, lol. and i will make it rain with my 40 mag if that alarm goes off lol!

Cool deal, ya that plants look great and dont seem to be taking it bad at all!! I just dont want it to get to cold and wasnt sure how effective the thermostat i was using once it got to cold,

With that 1000watt i didnt think my fan can cool my room that fast and keep it cool seems like that melon head reflector is the shit fo show!!!

So just wanted to show a little rig up i did since i cant mix my batches up in a 5 gal container anymore.

standard plastic trash can-

Mix to feed my flowering ladies-

Airstone-

Pump with garden hose to easly fill up my water can-

My nute line up-

I was bored and figured some might wanna see how i do it!!!

I usually add my water 24hours before i use it than 3 hours before i feed i add nutes so they brew for a little bit, im using a organic line and must of this stuff is like tar(super thick) so i like to air stone it for a while.

I do the same thing for my veg. plants, but instead of nutes i use mexican bat guano but i only do that every 2 weeks or so!!!

well just fed them and they were looking a little hungry, i gave them a little flush last watering, so i plan on feeding them twice in a row this week instead of water between the feedings

Also i have to say its pretty sad when u have 2000 views and only 130 posts, on this thread!!!

Where is everybody or they just to stoned to write lol, i think so its that time of year!!

Hey man great set up! Im excited to see how your plants turn out using LST. I have 5 cheese clones in veg right now and im using LST to try and maximize my light, I was wondering how long you vegged for and how far your plants stretched after you went 12/12? Also how many individual colas do you think you'll have? +rep for sure!

i veg. for about 5 weeks and they stretched about 12-18in, and looking at about 20 different colas per plant or so.

Last night, i guess i have a bad extension cord, i went to check on them this morning and my power strip had no power. First really cold night so they got a little chilly only for a couple of hours and didnt get to much light. I think they will pull threw going to get a new cord and strip.

For all u DIY people please dont comment, Yes im using extension cords to power my pool shed, and yes im using its own breaker for the cord and yes the cord will be the right amp size, with the power strip for surge protection. With the right amp cap. timer. Its all good believe me!!

The cord i was using before was super old and havent had the cash to buy a new one, but now im going to have too..
