1000 watt COCO Nirvana's Northern Lights, AK-48, Ice, Aurora Indica, White Rhino

your watering seems kinda skimpy. 50mls.... But I would have to say that that is the big difference. I pretty much flush mine. 6 cups for 1-2 quart pots coco. I'll try less

They are looking great. I got busy with work so no pictures right now. I started 30 seeds. Probably more then I have pots and dirt for. some are 3 weeks. some arent even at day one yet. I was able to add a 68 watt cfl. That puts my 15 amp breaker at 14 amps.
1000 watt hps
68 watt cfl
2 26 watt cfl
2 23 watt cfl
110 watt exhaust fan
50 watt oscillating fan
2 watt aquarium pump

Did you know cfls actually use double what there rated wattage is. It is just like the hps ballast using more then just the 1000 watts for the light.
my 200 watts of cfls is actually burning almost 3 amps.

Should cost me 2$ a day at 30 kilowatt hours on 18/6, at 7 cents a kilowatt.

Is kind of short but it work really good remember is better be under water that overwater at the end is weed I just feed mine with 100mls at 1000ppm with different nutes from AN, they are 12 days old,and 600mls to the one in the 2 gallon pot and that one is 23 days old...

I have successfully germinated all of the seeds. I staggered them for a few reasons. I should be flipping to 12/12 on the 15th if all is well. Today all plants are between week 0-5

i tried watering with small amounts. It only worked well on seedlings and fresh transplants. But the ones that are doing well dry out too quick in the coco if i dont water till it runs out the bottom.

December 23rd

I've been concerned about what looks like over watering and under watering. But they seems to pick back up and droop again in the day cycle weather I water or not and pretty uniformly. I've read that it is because the plants are preparing for the night cycle because they have had enough light. Doubtful but I try not to believe everything the first time I hear it.

The northern lights has turned out to be the pickiest of them all. But they are pot bound too. I really need to get more pots and coco but am waiting. I walk and have little money. kinda tricky sometimes.

I have been feeding 1-2 ml per gallon of each of the pictured nutrients. Using GH micro as my base for the low K. I add a little Cal and Mag. And give it a small bump of Phosphorus with humic acid included. Ph to 5.7-6.1

The GH has ok nitrogen but I included a good amount of Alfalfa meal and worm castings in the coco as well as azomite and dolomite lime. The coco ph'd to 6.9

My mom sent me fudge for christmas. Man is this some good fudge.

Nothing like mom's cooking.

She sent it flat rate to the wrong address. Lucky me it was still sitting in the mail box 5 houses down.

Today I got a new hortilux bulb. I hope it is worth the extra money. As well as 10 of those root pots and two more bricks of coco. some GH bloom and PH down, some sticky fly traps.
200 bucks. Grow shops are not cheap.

I found and cut my first male today. An AK48 from november 25th.
a couple are starting to show pre-flowers. That helps a lot.
I think a longer veg will have a better result.

Looking good!

In for the ride

Edit: just to compare, I water 12gals into 8girls in 5gal coco blend cloth pots during flower.

Fuck. root zone temp is at 58. They are all looking like they havent moved in days and just sit there droopy. I gotta get them off the ground asap.

You have a pretty impressive grow.
I'll be checking back soon and trying to see if I cant learn something from you.

I guess it is time for me to put up some new pictures anyways. They look miserable to be honest. All droopy as fuck. I stuck a thermo into the soil and it came out at 58. Then I did some research and 68-72 is about ideal for root zone temp. If it drops below, nutrients are locked out. They havent grown in forever it seems like. I was kinda panicking so I went down there and put cardboard across the ground under my tarp and then put a water dish or milk crate or something under each plant. I am going to start putting my water in at 70 degrees. I really hope this helps.
