Ok here are some more pics. Don't plan on a good harvest as I had so many issues with mites, def, and other things but 3 are in flower and going good. PH problems have been fixed and all leaves trimmed that had mite or other issues.

Thinking I'm gonna have to switch to 12/12 to force the kc45s to flower. They are getting pretty tall.

Questions or concerns welcome.

Also, next grow should be better As I think I finally have everything set where it needs to be. First time in this setup. So think it's set now.

Even though a few look pretty rough.
Let me know what you think.

oh and yes they are a little saggy. took these right after feeding.

You have been having ph issues for a while. What has been happening and what did you do to correct it? Do you store water prior to use?

My rez I keep my fresh water in starts out at 7.11 ph and goes as high as 8.84 ph just sitting there. I'm in soil so I do not do anything to change it. I use to but it kept going back up over night so meh.... I now leave it alone.

When I ran hydro I kept 35 gallons on reserve that was adjusted daily.

Yeah i got everything figured out now. PH issues have been fixed. I had to let my water sit longer then I was. At first I was using straight tap water (sulfur water). Been working fine with the soil but the soilless not so much. I let sit for 48 hours and then feed so I am now feeding every other day when the water is ready. Still using Lucas Form. 8ml Micro 16ml Bloom. I dont need to adjust PH at all after I mix the nutes. takes me to between 5.6 - 6.2 fluctuates a little but stays right there.

Finally rid myself of the little pets (spider mites). Ended up having to bomb and so far no signs of them after almost a week. Good Good.

Got some more pics as well for you to look at. Not my best grow but things are dialed in now and future grows should be fine. This grow I am expecting much less of a harvest then normal.

Let me know what you think. All are in flowering. The one KC45 I have to start to tieing as its already over 4 foot tall. And just started showing flowers. So its a rope and tie game now.

Looks like you have some Nitrogen Toxicity happening. Those talons are a sure sign!!! I have that same issue with some of my plants. Looks like there might be some heat stress also. How are the temps near the bulb?

I have thought about going bare bulb but I know I would have heat issues. That reminds me, I need to dust out my cool tubes.

Nitrogen Tox did happen. The leaves never really go back to normal afterwards. I do have a slight Mag def at the moment though. Have some Mag Sulfate to give emm.

A few of the leaves that moved towards the light did get burned. I have adjusted a little to move them away. Also have to start tieing back some of them as they are getting close.

After this grow is over I plan on using the cage i built to keep all plants away from the light.

Temps in tent while lights off are around 65ish lights on around 80ish. I have a heater in the room and if I dont pay attention the plants get hit with 90ish temps. but I have no issues keeping them around 80-85. Temps have gone up as I was playing with the environment. 12 inches from the light temps are around 85-90 constant. I need a larger fan but haven't got one yet. After this harvest is over I plan on adjusting. But gonna see this one out. Want to go back to a normal grow. Prolly just BigBud, cheese or blueberry. More control over the plants. Autos are really unpredictable as grow rates and size differ drastically. I should be able to control the environment a little more.

Otherwise just pushing threw so I can start over. I have pots that are all the same size for the next grow. Need some more perlite though. Not enough for the pots I have. The strains mentioned above I have grow before and have notes for all of them. Little more predictable about what they want and how they grow. So should be better.

Also plan on switching to FloraNova 1 part instead of the 3 part or should I say 2 part I am using for Lucas.

That shouldn't be to bad though. Only keep at the moment at most 3 gallons of water in the room. The room the tent is in was going to be the grow room. The whole room itself if a containment with over 6" high sides. Plenty of room for a little spill.

Looking good! Picture 31 looks like it is fox tailing. What strain is it? What day are they on? I would guess around 20 to 25 ish....

I have an unknown strain that fox tails. pretty cool!!!
