Im seeing a tad bit of tip burn,thats a good thing,your EC is pretty close.Keep an eye on the NEW growth for any changes,the plants going to move mobile nutrients around as it grows,its important not to over react.You might get a spot or 2 on some older fans as you move into flower.

@Resinhound, can you take a look at my friends girl. A little background she was transplanted with water that was not ph'd. Then was given ph water plus super thrive and is been about 3 or 4 days. Do you know what this is? 20160305_110956.jpg 20160305_110949.jpg 20160305_110937.jpg

Looks good man...those tubes make some of the stickest buds...your friends plant looks zinc and probably P deficient.Both can be locked out due to PH.How long has it been in the perlite? I mean was the plant normal before transplant?

Id feed that plant a watered down micro/bloom 1:2 mix at .5 ec 6.2 ph and you should see some improvment,unless he has some root problem,we cant see.And no more superthrive,lol.That stuff will really jack a plant up if mishandled.

But any complete nutrient at the right ph should contain what he needs for that plant.

Yes sir, it's right over the canopy and she loves it. Had some significant growth since I installed it this morning. Wow, I stopped tucking because I thought I would be good. The tallest one is the main bud and is very hard to tuck. I was thinking of trying backbuilding any thoughts?

Not that I can see. I have about 2 more feet of grow space left. I'll get a better pic in the morning when I get off.

Heya dude somethings to consider in the coming weeks.

Stay on the 1:2 lucas for the first 2 weeks of flower,then consider changing the ratio bit start cutting nitrogen.Cut the micro a bit and add a bit more bloom.Try to keep your ec about the same,and as before keep swinging your ph around a little,but 6.2 should be your home.Then we will look at your plants and go from there.

Hopefully she flowers for you soon

Thanks for the heads up. Today makes 7 days since flipped to 12/12. I've been giving her the full strength lucas formula and so far so good. Yeah I'm hoping with this new light plus the side lighting I'll be okay and she starts flowering.

Well here we are. Changed up nutes a little and started backing off the micro today, still using gh and following the lucas formula. I am now 11 days into flowering. Here's some pics. Thanks for looking!

Well it's Friday, for you guys and girls, but for me... let's just say is not. Here's a little info for those who would like to know. Lights t5ho 2ft 4 bulb mixed spectrum with 2 23 watt cfl one 2700k and one 6500k for side lighting. Nutes are GH Flora series using the lucas formula. PH is 6.2, PPM is in the 1000 range and temps are 79°F lights on to 70°F lights off. I think that covers it all. Any questions feel free to ask and if any experienced grower see anything I need to do let me know. Here's some pictures for you guys and girls. Thanks for looking.20160311_072047.jpg 20160311_072109.jpg 20160309_115136.jpg 20160309_115216.jpg 20160311_072621.jpg
