Week 6 12/12 ... looking frosty :) Sample bud last night at only six weeks to test for potency was surprisingly potent but short lived... which makes sense as I’m only 6 weeks in. Have to take her down in 11 days though as we are leaving for vacation and I need time to get her stabilized in...

Thanks Jim.... it’s chicago water.... and while I don’t have a Ppm meter or a ph pen I can tell you this, the sh*t is nuclear lol. Smells like a swimming pool coming out of the faucet and even letting it sit for 24 hours the plants were not doing well when I used it from the tap. Besides...

Thanks for the info... wish I would have seen this sooner I just picked up a bottle of botanicare cal mag.... sounds like this will kill off my beneficials then?

That is the veg cabinet, those plants are in veg doing well (those are very low powered under the cabinet LEDs) Here is the flower cabinet.... I’m 13” away from the solstrips with a 78 deg ambient temp: And as mentioned, this happens in every grow I’ve ever done. In 4x4 tents, 3x3 tents...

Another question regarding cal mag and RO water. So I understand that RO water doesn’t have any buffering capacity, does adding cal mag to RO water add this missing buffering capacity? Im assuming yes, since it’s adding minerals to the water?

Hey there Sheesh... thanks for the input. I’m not sure of my PH, I don’t have a PH pen but this is organic soil so it shouldn’t be necessary. As mentioned my mix is happy frog soil, with added perilite and worm castings with a granular fert and dolomite lime at 1 cup/cu ft of soil as...

Hotrodharley, thanks for stopping by. That’s what I’m thinking, that I need to add some cal mag, also I think I’m going to add some kelp to the initial mix and also add a top dressing of kelp When I flip to flower to try to up the micro nutrients. Lights are way above the tops, probably 12” or...

I figured as much, I think I’m going to have to just dig up a small res instead. Thanks for the replies guys

What up RIU!? I’m 5 weeks into flowering in a new micro cab I built and having some typical brown spots on the lower leaves working their way up the plant which tells me I’m seeing a cal/mag deficiency. I’m using RO water this time around, for the first time ever because I’m in a new city with...

I’ve got a microcab with an aquarium on top with a single large fish as you can see in this Pic, seriously considering hooking up blaumats to the fish tank and seeing how the plants perform. The only thing I’m wondering is that I’ve heard fish water is too high in nitrogen for flowering? Anyone...

Whats up everyone. I’m in the process of building and designing a new cab. Long story short I always run feminized freebies in a new grow space first before breaking into my good genetics. I’ve got a OG x GDP lady three weeks into flower and she’s been getting hit with light during her dark...

Outstanding work! They look fantastic. Ive been looking for this exact strain for awhile now but I can’t find them anywhere. Does anyone know a seed bank that still has them?? I’ve heard some phenos can have extreme pain relieving properties, even being compared to straight morphine. That might...

Awesome ... thats what I needed to know I appreciate the input!

Thanks for the reply! I just wasn't sure about long term use of a ph down substance. I used ACV fir a quick fix before but not long term

I'm guessing yes and yes. oh... and ya I mixed up the board name! My mistake! ;)

Thanks for the responses guys. Could someone answer the two specific questions I asked? Ild appreciate it. Mainly I'm curious if ph 8 water will overtime raise the soil ph... and if so will a periodic top dressing of lime keep it in check ?

Ive never kept mothers before and I now have about five that Ild like to keep around for the long haul. Im familiar with root pruning and bonsai training. More specifically though, Im curious about the in-between maintenance. Im using a super soil of sorts, and the moms all recently went into...

Good tip! Ill do that. Also I've decided to get a portable AC unit.... having a baseline ambient room temp of 78-80deg (mid day anyway) is just way to high to start with. Doesn't matter if its HID or T5 either way that's to damn high. I'm thinking a portable unit with a built in thermostate and...

With Lights off .......... Now certainly I can pick up some CFM by getting rid of the bend in the exhuast ducting ... and Im going to do that next .... but regardless it shouldnt take 424 cfm full force to keep it cool at ambient temps. Unzipping the tent completely and running it with all the...
