HydroRed's Horticultural Whorehouse

Seedling are doing great. The Shoreline that was a late bloomer is now above ground and green. I planted another Bodhi "Mothers Milk since one of them didnt surface so I just dropped another in the plug and it sprouted today so Im back on track with all of my plugs putting off plants again. Gonna give it another week or so and transplant them into solo cups to sex them, then right back into veg with the girls until a table is freed up. Looking like another 10-14 days or so.
I'll post some pics in the next day or two once things settle down after Christmas.
Speaking of........
Merry Christmas to all my fellow greenthumbs on here!

Looks phenomenal. Great job man!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays and all that stuff.

Yea that's Pro !

Thanks guys, Merry Christmas. As much as I'd like to say it was skill, shes pretty much been on auto pilot haha.

Keeping everything in check is skill but becomes second nature when you've done it enough times lol. Temps ,humidity, timers, pumps, rez watering's etc all take monitoring.

9 days from getting the seeds wet.

GG#4
Chocolate scented frost in under 13 days from switch to 12/12. After a handfull of grows of not running her, Im missing her.
One of my absolute favorites!


Shes a big girl too! I was hoping I could keep the light right on her and keep the stretch down to a minimum but she still does what she wants.

Kosher Kush @ 46 days


I'm getting some burnt tips on them now after changing the res this last time and going 6g per gal following the sites feed chart. I see no sense in adjusting anything ppm wise since I will continue to do fresh pH water top offs from now to harvest. The frost on this run is noticably more concentrated on sugar leaf edges so I will stay the course of running Mega Crop 100% as instructed from the feed chart. If it ain't broke don't fix it...right?

wow! cool man, which light you are using ?

Thanks. I use (2) 1000W MH/HPS & (2) 4' Agromax 10K for flowering. Im currently running a 400W COB LED dimmed down about 50% in my momma/veg room. I was using the 400W LED for flowering in the summer to keep costs down.

cool, @HydroRed I am considering adding some new light for my grow next year, i hope can find a very good light. you have idea on led grow light ?

Lots of factors to consider for lighting. If you are looking for led lights, plug and play, ideas on building your own, parts lists, etc there is a lot of info from some very intelligent folks on here in the LED section.

Looking great Red! I'm at the point where I'm shaving off 1g per gallon with MC from the chart. I think it's just a bit hot for most strains even with LED QB304s. But doing this leads to a lack of CalMag and it needs to be added back so it's a trade off. I still don't need to add anywhere the amounts of CalMag I used to though.

Are you using tap water or ro?

I thought there should be plenty of both in there but minerals blocking the roots with all those included additives worries me.

Tap water "municipal " 40PPM
I've always struggled with MagCal no matter what nutes I used once I switched to the Quantum boards and a coco based soilless mix. Using Mega Crop I use a lot less of it compared to Maxi Bloom.

If I were using the lines out there with the supplements and adds so root blocking I'm not worried about.

The closest lineup that comes close to MC is AN from what I can remember. It makes sense because Green leaf nutriants copied some of the AN line, a lot cheaper to run too.

Thanks!

I remembered you used coco medium. Not the water ppm but even with peat I bet soft water like that could need the calcium.

Do you know if the mc is formulated for ro or tap?

Thanks Chaos. I'll get a feel for how the MC works under led this summer. In my experience, every nute line I've used under led has required a supplement of Cal/mag so I guess I shouldnt expect MC to be much different.

I've had a great experience with it in municipal tap (mine runs about 110 ppm from tap & pH of 6.8-7.6 depending on season) but have seen others mention heavy pH drop in RO. I believe it was discovered that there were heavy pH drops due to bubblers or something along those lines?
@rkymtnman @cat of curiosity @GreenleafNutrients can likely add to this.

Cool thanks. I will check back for the other feedback.

Thx mate, I wil check that you told, these days I was checking some led lights, california lighting ,marshydro,fluence,unitfarm and spectrumking and also some T5 light, i will make my idea soon. cheeeers
