they look pretty healthy, maybe a little hungry. is that ebb and flow? are you feeding them yet? If you aren't, I think you can give it 200-300 ppm. I am in the final weeks of a northern lights x shiva grow myself and must say you are in for some tasty looking buds.
keep it up
-p
How can you tell they look hungry? I started feeding them slowly last week and they seem to love it. I give them PBP Grow at the moment as they are in the begining of their 3rd week. I gave them 7.5 of nuts per gallon last week and I guess ill feed them again tommorow another 7.5 per gallon this week.
This is flood and drain and I have it set every 2 hours to flood for 15min. I have been leaving the light on 24/7 as its a 400w MH hortilux. The plants have a feint smell if you get close to them. Starting to smell really good although I heard this strain wasnt stinky.
Again thanks for the advice and ask me anything of concern as it will surely help me along the way!
in general this plant will go dark green when fed a lot, and go lighter green when it could use more food. I think this has to do with the nitrogen levels, with higher levels causing more chlorophyll, thus the darker green.
flow with the force Luke...
Go with your gut. If standing there they look great...Don't worry!
BUT!!! turn the light off at least 6 to 8 hours a day is "better" or your root zone won't develop as it should. Growing foliage without a proper root zone will lead to problems with weak plant structure as plant matures. Less Yield
It is up to you, But I promise you It will help. Plants need to rest. It is the natural cycle of things to achieve the level of photosynthesis necessary to achieve Maximum Yield. Peace
They Look awesome BTW
Thanks for the advice and comments. They seem pretty healthy from the eye and im glad you noticed they needed more food. I gave them some more last night and upon today at this time they look like it did them some good. The only thing I noticed was on a few of the tips they are turning a little on the yellow side but only on the very tip. I hope I havent given them to much.
As soon as my Cal Mag comes in im going to switch them over to RO/Distilled. I have been feeding them tap water which has a ppm of 60.
I have about 3 feet to work with on a full grown plant so I should switch them 12/12 at about 10-15 inches correct?
yes
plants look happy man :thumbsup:
they are on the edge of nute burn. they should be alright if it doesn't get worse, just keep an eye on it. if you feel like its getting bad you can always switch to lower concentrations. that's the beauty of hydro.Quote:
