good idea, just give them 1/3 or 1/2 feedings and they should be able to handle it I feed the ones I have full strength and they havent shown any signs of stress.
smaller containers require a higher EC ..... my party cup plant a year or two back according to the bottle i was feeding 1200 EC and it was still hungry .... im going back to 100% cocotek and maxi gro and bloom , the dry stuff any advice ?? the nutes and coco are already ordered ..... but im tossing the idea around of the air pots ... just cant get past the price tag 20 bucks for a 3-4 gallon WTF id be spending like $200 just on pots

Yeah with air pots I hear the dry out like crazy. Which can be a good thing for autos. But I rather just not water the as often and allow the roots to fit the pot looking for water. I haven't watered them since I feed them last time and they are looking great. I'll pull them out so you guys can see them. It's time for me to wipe everything down with pine sol always....but not bugs at all. So that last batch has me really mad.

That's one reason I didn't do bags. I wanted something hard...

So the talles is 22 inches. I have a dimmable 600 on 50%. I might turn it up but I'm worried about heat...these thing are really stretching....I'll wipe the glass down. And I want move the light anymore

@bf80255 i really thing these are able to pull way more then 1.5 zips. The td lineage is crazy big at least for an auto. I'm seeing folks pull close to 6 zips 3 being average. Are you saying the pinkie pie is cutting the yield down?

you talking about the fabric pots ??? or the porcupine looking plastic ones ? i hate root bags but the plastic thingies look a bit more stable ......... my hps ballast is about to bite it .... been trying to get a parts list together for LED's there are many opinionated people that are not scared to make you feel ignorant for not being led tech lingo savy , but no one seems to come off of a simple DIY recipe .... so fuck it im running one of these with a new hood and a bulb of every size ( what ever i feel like i need at the time )400w-1000w http://www.ebay.com/itm/171758152514

Hey that ballast look crazy. I run a quantum 600 which is dimmable down to 300. But for the price of the one you found I might pick one up for a back up...

its the big bloom thats roasting them more then likely .... i would hold off on the bloom feed for as long as possible ..... bloom feed's around preflower makes them finish faster a slight P-K def they will try and veg a bit longer .... it doesnt always work like this but the majority of them react this way
So for week 5 what should I feed them. I was thinking of doing week 4 from the chart. But do half of the bloom feed.

I'm seeing about an inch a day in growth. Wonder when that will stop. I haven't moved my light to see if that helpsimage.jpg

No I just like being conservative in my estimates, some pinkies can yield like a mofo
remember the B3's?
TD can be a massive yielder but its really unstable so the chances of getting those monster phenos is kinda iffy, none of the TD moms I used were particularly big but they did produce heavy buds.

yeah fabric pots are sucky when you have to move them around it always totally disturbs the dirt and breaks roots + shit

I need to watch a vid on them and see what everyone is saying about them....

Well I get at least 2 zzz i wound be happy. I wish I could find someone to barter a bike for all of it. I might have to make some calls. It would beat trying to sell since a bike is all I really want. Would love a ninja 650 2009 and newer

1\4 str veg. And literally a splash of bloom. Like adding pepper to your dinner. The crazy stretch phase needs a bit extra P-K imo

Also personally I try to feed them really light feeds just more often. So my 1/4 feeds are every other day. Towards bloom water in between and flushed once a week. Have to take into account I'm mostly soil less. My haze is drinking 3/4 a gallon a day. Probably less now its under just a little led and 58w cfl

That 400 will run for a couple hours then randomly shut off or go to flickering. I took it apart and blew compressed air through it and cleaned it out. No help .... hell I got 3 years out of it. For the price can't beat it


There is a bright side to this. I did find some cree cobs lil over 100w. And they are on the way. AD bin :D lol the good shit. So I am in no rush and plan to use in another closet or tent and can build them the way I want instead of just tossing them together. I do have a spare 600w. But it hasn't acted right since I clipped the out put cord with a sawzall. I spliced it back together. But it was on and made some pretty colors. When I hit it. Last time I ran it the cord was getting hot around the splice. So I haven't ran it for that reason.

Yeah my soil is not drying out as fast. I'm sure that has sped up a bit now that it's hotter and they are bigger. I'm just worried I will feed too much. So 1 tsp of grow big and lil bit of big bloom and tiger bloom
