Nirvana PPP and Snow White Grow (First try)

[Abnjm]

I used the GH hard water model for "Bloom" at full strength:

FloraGrow: 50ml
FloraBloom: 150ml
FloraMicro(HW): 100ml
FloraBlend: 100ml
Liquid Koolbloom: 50ml
Floraliscious+: 10ml
H2O2 (35%): 20ml

5 gal tap and 5 gal distilled water mixed to EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm @ 6.2pH. Added 20ml pH down for a final 5.8pH. I did not use the SuperThrive this time because I've seen many threads that say it only helps for stressed plants or clones, and does not do anything during a normal grow. Feeding 15 minutes 4 times during lights on starting one hour after lights on, and ending 2 hours prior to lights out. PPP plants are 22" tall, and the SW is 17" tall.

I am so impressed with the health and vigor of your plants...even the bag seed looks great! I am definitely going to look into hydro and hid for my next grow. Thanks for the great journal and I am still kissing your ass!kiss-ass

I was out of town for three days, and my rez was more than 3 gallons down when I got home. I'm still getting nice thick growth, but I'm a little worried there has been absolutely NO bud formation after 1 1/2 weeks under flower.... I've learned to be patient in this hobby and won't start getting worked up for another week or two..... After the torture I put it through, the bagseed plant has been doing much better than expected.

AFTER:

What a resilient plant......

 

[Abnjm]

I haven't taken any shots in a couple of days. I'm in my second week of flowering, the plants are 29" tall, and I think some bud sites are starting to form. One of the fan leaves has 11 leaves and is just under 12" across!

ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Damn plants look so great

Thanks for stopping by so early on a Friday morning Mane. So far so good. Even though I've sprayed them twice with Neem Oil, I still found a few gnats in the tent last night. You have any super secret tips to kill the little bastards?

Thanks again for keeping an eye on my grow.

 

[mane2008]

Shit Neem is what I use, is it serious?

 

[Abnjm]

Nah. Just a few of the little fuckers. I want to be sure to have them under control before the buds really get going and I can't use the Neem Oil....

 

[mane2008]

maybe a fogger or something? of course you'd have to move the plants.

I have had some gnat activity and I just hung a piece of fly paper on the light right above the plants and I caught many in that sticky stuff.

That was a week ago and it has been several days since I've seen any live ones.

I tried a layer of fine white sand on top of the soil and I think it was working however the sand hardened and made it difficult to water properly.

Your stuff is looking good and if the gnats are not many you probably don't have any worries.

Just remember to throw all the soil associated with these plants in the trash or compost when finished so the eggs and larva that survive don't have your garden for protection and you don't perpetuate these little bastards.

Plants are looking primo

I don't think it's bad enough yet to use a fogger, but it is on my list of killin shit..... Prolly gonna try the sticky traps and cedar pucks first. Foggin after that. I won't let those little fuckers get too well entrenched.....

Picking up traps and cedar pucks this afternoon. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna fog it. I'm also gonna soak the top of the coco with Neem Oil as I don't know if putting sand in my media will work. If I ever make it to harvest, I'm gonna toss the coco, and give the hydroton a good wash and thorough dry......

The plants do look OK, that's why I'm not too concerned about any root damage from the few gnats I've found so far......

How has your main stem clone been coming along? haven't seen an update to your journal in a while.....

 

[kpw555]

Die you sap sucking bastards die!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I have an update on my journal.

That is a beautiful sight.... Bodies of the little bastards everywhere! You said you hang the trap directly under the light?

I know I'm subscribed to your thread, and it doesn't show the update yet. I'll check again when I get back home.

 

[Abnjm]

Woot! Woot!

Nute numbers since the last update:


11/02: EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm; 5.8pH.

11/03: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm; 6.0pH.

11/04: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm; 6.2pH.

11/05: EC 3.0 / 1500 ppm; 6.2pH. Add 10 ml H2O2 (35%), 1 Gal DW, 15ml pH down to EC 2.6 / 1300; 5.9pH.

11/06: EC 2.8 / 1400 ppm; 6.0pH Add 1 Gal DW, 7.5ml pH down to EC 2.5 / 1250; 5.8pH.

11/07: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm; 5.8pH Add 10ml H2O2 (35%).

The res looks clear, and there is no change in nute strength for this week, so I'm just mixing up 10 gallons. I put three gallons in the res, and the remaining 7 gallons are in jugs in my dark, 45F garage. I put a cedar block and sticky trap in the tent yesterday afternoon. When I closed it up for the night, there were already 12 gnats on the trap. I hope I don't have do go all chemical on their asses.....

5 gal tap and 5 gal distilled water mixed to EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm @ 6.2pH. Added 20ml pH down for a final 5.8pH.

Bagseed buds and cola:

I'll be out of town for the next two days. I've raised the light an additional 4" this morning as they seem to be adding about 2" of height a day. I've still got about 12" of overhead space, so I hope the growth spurt slows down soon. I FIM'd the bagseed plant and am happy with its height and fullness. I will probably FIM my next bunch of plants so I don't have to worry about over-growing my tent.

The cedar block and sticky traps should take care of the gnats. If they are still around when I get back, it's foggin time.....

 

[Abnjm]

Buds are starting to form on the PPP's. Current height is 39" with 10" remaining to the top of the tent. Bagseed plant is maintaining current height with a light coating of sugar starting to form on the buds.

PPM's increased over the weekend with fairly stable pH. Plants are using approximately 1 gallon of nutes per day.

Let me know what you think.
