Today:First day of flowering,

Today:
Humidity 55
Temp 72
Res Temp 76
PH 8.0
PPM 700-800
6 tsp HP 3%
Drank 1/2 gallon water
Height 17up

After Adjustments:
3 TSP Nutes PPM's to a steady 800
PH 6.0

I am not sure if the color of the plant is normal and if the leaf spots are par for the course.

Will be following this while I attempt something similar

Anyone know if a standard volt meter is any good for measuring CF/EC? My mate gave me a calculation on how to convert ohms into CF but noone seems to have tried it?

Bic, I dont know about that one. I use the blue lab truncheon. you might want to ask that in the other thread.

Today:Second day of flowering,

Today:
Humidity 60%----- Max 77% Min 34%
Temp 73-----Max 80 Min 71
Res Temp 76
PH 6.5
PPM 800
6 tsp HP 3%
Drank 1/2 gallon water
Height 17-3/4

After Adjustments:
3 Tsp Mag
3 TSP Nutes PPM's to a steady 800
PH 6.0

My water comes out of the tap around 7-8(ph) so when I add my nutes to this water the ph allways drops to the 4.0 range. So if my res ph is 6.6-7.5 I just add this straight in and it allways brings the ph in around 6.5. It beats playing with the ph.This works well.

Sounds like you are right on track!

Today:Third day of flowering,

Today:
Humidity 55%----- Max 77% Min 43%
Temp 71-----Max 80 Min 68
Res Temp 70
PH 6.5
PPM 800
6 tsp HP 3%
Drank 1/2 gallon water
Height 19

After Adjustments:
3 Tsp Mag
I am starting to premix my nutes by the gallon the night before. I keep it in the fridge, then the freezer for an hour before I top off the res.This brings the res temp down too.
PH 6.0

Wow, 5" growth this week alone and still 3 days to go.

Plant looks great. I have to add 1/2 gallon water everyday. It is growing like a weed! Pun intended. I will be doing a Drain and Replenishment today and will start the bloom nutes.

I did a res change on Saturday. Gave them babies an air bath.I had to do absolutley nothing when I got home yesterday. PH was balanced. It drank about 3/8 of a gallon of water,I chose not to top off. I will tonight. Temps and mumidity are in range with ppm's about 900. COOL!

websluef · Nov 10, 2009

Today I added 3-23 watt 2700k cfl's. I am sure this plant is gonna love the extra light.

MostlyCrazy · Nov 10, 2009

Good move! More light in flower is always a good idea.

websluef · Nov 10, 2009

I noticed tonight I got some leaves that have a dark or browning on the edges. Also some of the tips are curling upward and most of the lower leaves feeling a little crispy and dry. 1 broke off not that it matters, probably from just working around the res. I know from reading that it can be an indication of not enough nutrients. I thought I was giving too much nutes. PPM'S @ 1000. I found this post by Roseman.

This is something, a simple tip, we all need to remember.

When you over feed a plant, the leaf tips curl downward or curl UNDER and YELLOW or RUST, or get SPOTY, and eventually get crispy.
When a plant is HUNGRY and being under-fed, the leaf tips Curl UP and turn brown.

When you say some leaves do you mean those at the bottom furthest from the light? If that's the case then it's fairly normal and I wouldn't do anything. If it starts to move up the plant then is the time to react.

Roseman · Nov 11, 2009

When you start 12/12 and start Flowering nutes, you will see spots, discoloration, and lower leaves start yellowing and falling off. It gets worst the farther you get into Flowering too, so expect some lower leaves to die.

and it is always better to UNDER feed than to OVER feed.

websluef · Nov 11, 2009

Here are the pictures to my previous post. This is all probably normal.

MostlyCrazy · Nov 11, 2009

Looks like a very very slight case of nute burn and it happens to me all the time. It is absolutely nothing to be concerned about at this time. Bottom leaves are not getting full light but they are getting full nutes and it's just too much for them. If I ever had a grow that it didn't happen I would think I was screwing up! LOL!

websluef · Nov 12, 2009

Ok my ppm's were up to 1100, 100 more than last night. More tip are curling up and some edges are darker than before. I am going to add just ph'ed water and bring the ppm's back to 800. I will stop adding mag/cal and Saturday is my day to do a drain and replenish. Maybe I started to bloom this girl before her time. Maybe I tried to bump up nutes too fast and too much. Or maybe the ph was too low again. I have been letting it go down to the 40's. I am getting to anxious to get bud so maybe I should slow things back up. She still looks pretty good but the tips curling up is starting to bother the crap out of me.
Roseman, I did read all your references that you posted for me. Thanks!

MostlyCrazy · Nov 12, 2009

Good plan. Better to undernute than over nute when you see what the plant is telling you. Don't kick yourself. Remember your in learn mode. This is just something to remember and it's not that big a deal. I do it every grow and a lot worse! Why are you stopping the mag/cal. Try to think of adjusting one thing at a time and then wait for the results.

Letting it get in the 40's? Temp? 4.0 ph?

Roseman · Nov 13, 2009

Mostly Crazy is right on and gives excellent advise!

I'd + REP him, if it would let me.
