Yes. Adjust pH and give it a little kick of P.

I don't know what the recommended dosage of Floranova is per gallon but I also wonder if the 8 ml/g might be a tad low. I use FF Tiger Bloom and FF recommends starting with 2 tsp which is 10 ml/g.

its def low compared to the bottle dosage, but i went by the lucas formula, so thats what it called for throughout.

That gave me a ppm reading usually around 1200ish

I think the plants can def handle more, i was gonna increase to 10ml/g this last feeding but stuck with the normal 8ml/g

week 5 flower, they should probably be closer to 1500-1600 ppm , will have to do some reading i guess lol

Another pretty good and cost effective method to get more P and K during flower is to add some good old unsulfured Black Strap molasses when feeding. Keep the Lucas Formula at 8 ml/g and add 1/2 tbsp/g black strap.

Black strap molasses contains P, K, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ca ... all the little goodies your girls like while producing fruit.

Was using 24-8-16 MG until I realized its no good for pot. Tap Water. MG moisture control. 192w blurple. Plus 27 watts of screw in led. I picked up some 1-7-5 fertilizer I have fed that once about two weeks ago. Next run I might use the same soil but with no added nutes until flower.

I’m going with the blurple one more grow until I can justify spending more money. I really want to get the HLG135 It and the blurple should work very well.

Is your soul ph'd. Is your water ph'd...if your not overwatering I'd put money on one of those....just think the roots chase the water down...wait until the top inch is dry and by second to third watering should have roots to the bottom of the pot.....pretty simple to keep alive from there

Oh I got no issues now. I’m 11 days since planted in soil and almost have 3 sets of fans leaves. Only watered once, the initial watering. Cup is still heavy. Probably going to water later on this week.

Thanks man. It’s about time. I will post a photo later today. She is pretty small still but she looks pretty damn good. Bulb I’m using isnt powerful at all only outputs about 800 lumens. Will be running the 400watt MH once I transplant into my 5 gallon smart pots.

Larf Underneath. Very bottom branch.

Thanks B ...

That's actually not bad for larf underneath. I bet you get a pretty good hum when you try that.

Tap water is OK. Let it sit for 24 hours to let as much of the chlorine bugger off as possible.

Your 24-8-16 MG ferts should be OK for your veg state. If you used that MG fert during flower, you might have a bit of the N overdose. You do want to give some veg ferts before you flower so you increase your potential bud sites.

The 1-7-5 should be OK once you switch to your flower stage.

Personally, I like blurples - I am becoming a rare breed these days - but I also like pushing 70 w/sq. foot. My 8 sq. foot tent has 2 Viparspectra 600 W - total of 560 watts - of full spectrum "shitty" blurples. But - I have a few folks who have come back to procure some of that bud grown with those shitty blurples.

So adding the HLG should definitely help increase yields.

Yeah I wish I wrote everything down that I did, but I am sure I was feeding the veg nuts well into flower before I realized what I was doing was wrong. The 1-7-5 I am going to start after stretch next run. And also I had no idea what larf is I guess lol. That was the lowest branch under the canopy but it was the “top” of that branch. All the larf or “suckers” I pinched off whenever I seen them starting.

Figured I would share my baby. Here she is.

The first fan leaf on the left is kinda folding over. Not sure why this is. I lifted the light a tad. Could that be what caused the folding? Having the light too close.

Hoping there are no issues with this seedling. It’s my last seed of these medical genetics seeds. So happy one took off. Don’t want to lose it or have issues cloning for future plants I itend to take. It’s was planted on feb 3.

@diggs99 we are close to the same flip date. Day 39 critical mass is ripening and the king tut and gg4 are stretching too much but i think i will have a bit of room.

King tut grew 6 inches taller than the gg4 but the stretch is done. They are at day 18 of flower

Ya I'm only 4-5 days behind you, your buds look great man, should be a nice harvest.

Best of luck the rest of the way

Not too sure when I should transplant my girl. She’s 14 days from being planted in soil after germination. Has 3 sets of fan leaves. One coledyon died off. But it was the smaller of the two. I know my stem is still very thin and fragile. I wanted it to beef up a bit more before transplanting it. I do have an oscillating heater fan that does kick on sometimes that does blow air on the fan leaves and so forth. Should i wait another 2-3 weeks? She received her second watering yesterday.
