System - lucas formula

Lee - its defo deficiencies not burn it need more.
Lucas? In that case chuck loads of grow in and will sort it all out mate. Has decent levels of nitrogen, magnesium, calcium and Iron. If its the all in one formula (don't use it) then calmag might be only option to be in control. She should be taking 400/500 ppm without too much trouble at that size.

Ph of 5.5-6.0 this is hydro not soil - so absorption rate will be lost on most of above at a high ph.

Hope it helps, Cheers

I like PlantMagic nutes, really under rated I got g per watt off them in wilma system. I just use GHE cos Im out the UK and its more accessible... But I'm slowly switching to "Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland" them seem to pretty much the same as the GHE at nearly half the price! Ah fair doos, if you in soil that is why the PH at 6.5-7 is optimum for you. In water farms, DWC you need it 5.8 really (5.5 being optimum) for absorbtion of things like nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, can see my journals in my sig if you interested haha but your right, in soil you don't need to worry so much if you have a good feeding schedule. It is way more forgiving- water farm you can burn through the roots at 300ppm if your too keen!

Nice mate, sounds like you got it dialled... Just pointing out the things I know and learnt on water farms as been growing in them for nearly 7 years so have been through all the trial and error. Always still learning though mate too! Finding the forums a wealth of information, there are some real wizards on here lol

But yer same principles apply, I only use 1 set of nutrients start to finish, no boosters, no pk, no rhizo. I have calmag for emergencies cos I use close to reverse osmosis water stripping all the mg/cal/iron from the water. In flower I use mineral water sometimes on flush or top ups as don't want any nitrogen there really. But yer it works for me I guess, she's about 5 weeks from a seed, flipping in next few days:

For sure, I mostly just stick my head into journals rather than discussion threads. Seeing is believing an all that haha just check the Cheesus link in my signature if you wanna see bigger pics and progress. I try to keep it updated as poss.

Ah no way. I had a house inspection once with a Jack Herer week 9 in flower LOL was soooo good I wasn't prepared to harvest early. Luckily it was a built in wardrobe I converted with a 6 inch hole straight into the loft. Wicked set up that was. They didn't even check or notice any smell.

I got the TD Silent 125mm gotta be honest its pretty fucking awesome. I sleep about 2 metres from it and it doesn't bother me. I have it on the low setting at temps are between 29 and 32 with a 400 HPS bulb - so yer basically thumbs up on that haha!

I'm anxious to see how your grow turns out and what flowering time you will get. I've been reading mixed reviews about this strain and seed bank. I've recently popped 4 seeds and I'm gonna grow them all in a small area with LEDs. Flip em early. Good luck to you, mate. I'm subbed
