This lady was a gift that I grew out for a few months as a potential mother. I raped her branches for clones, then decided to throw her in the Flower room immediately afterwards.
This was my first grow. Many mistakes, many lessons learned. She was grown under a 1000W HPS light. Temperature was hard to control, stayed inbetween 85-93 degrees, and thats using a 1200 BTU portable A/C. It is hot where I live, too damn hot. Going to switch to an air cooled reflector soon.
Used General Hyroponics nutrients. Three part nutrients plus Floralicious Grow & Bloom additives, Koolbloom liquid & Koolbloom powder. I used a organic,soiless mix (1/4 Hydroton Clay, 1/4 Coco Coir, 1/4 Miracle Gro Organic Choice POtting Mix, and 1/4 Black Kow composted cow manure).
I believe the Koolbloom powder in combination with Koolbloom Liquid caused the burning on the leaves. When I used the liquid alone (0-10-10) everything was fine but when i started adding the powder it was too much for her. I just flushed her 3 days ago and stopped feeding, will only give her water for next 10 days. I did not plan this in any way but the 75 day flower period ends on December 25. I am hoping to crop her christmas morning!
Maybe I will leave her longer though because I want her to go through her full flowering period so that I can become more familiar with this strain that i will be working with.
