Mrs.Weedchicks 3rd grow. Knowledge is Power

Heres a catch-up since last I posted which by some weird stoner quinky-dink was my last harvest :rasta: smoked it all and now I'm waiting for this batch Seedling 2 weeks Veg. for 4 weeks blooming for 2 week tons of preflowers and small budding going on. My hydro set up is a 3 gal res. with 6 sites + a newly made three site 2 gal. unit both DWC with 1-12" air stone on bottom. I feed pre-mixed water. Spring water mixed with (30ml bloom 20ml micro 10ml grow) general HP blooming for 2 week tons of preflowers and small budding. Also a drop of Superthrive a Gallon. In their last few weeks I'll be adding 10ml of Overdrive per Gallon. New set-up is a tall garage box painted white with mylar a few fans 1-250hps and 2-45w warm for Flowering or 2-125w flors for Vegetative growth. They have been doing great only problem is they are over 3 ft. and adequately lighting the sides in such a small space 60x36X20 is impossible they are always getting burnt even with the small 45w flors. I am trying to locate some thick transparency type material to make covers for the lights. Removing the side lights is not an option the canopy takes all the light up! They are now bent 30 degrees and one who was 3rd in hieght is all droopy and dying but I don't really care because the rest are fine I tried flushing her and moving her to another site but alas she wants to die and I'm lazy and don't want to go to the Hydro store. Revive is what I need. I'll try to flush the res. this evening and see if it helps. I also have one runt only 10-18" tall very few nodes Weirdo is her name. The other 3 are fine. Maybe with any luck this batch will last for more then two months. :D I'll post pictures later or just look in Too Tale Thread.

1st,are you saying you have 6 seedlings in 1-3 gallon tub? or that you use 3 gallon tubs and have 6+ tubs?:confused:

Are you saying that you are in your 2nd week of flower; After 4 weeks of veg at 30-20-10ml nute mix?...PLease respond.:confused:

Did you know that the height of your plant at flowering, doubles...even triples, before maturing and finishing(overdrive time).:cool:

If you are using 30-20-10 right now. Flush your plants.

You have to change over to Flower type recipe 10-20-30.
You see, You are using a variation of the 3g-2m-1b/1g-2m-3b...GH modified formula, which should be 8-16-24 per gallon instead of 10-20-30...Got It?
I think that is too much. You are going to fry them, Imo!

You would be better off using the Lucas Formula the rest of the way, 0-8-16per gallon(GH suggested maximum for 3-part is basically 8ml per gallon each, G-M-B. Max...So;1-1-1 mix ratio..these are on the bottle!
8ml Grow
8ml Micro
8ml Bloom = 24ml per gallon
Lucas Bloom
0ml Grow
8ml Micro
16ml Bloom = 24ml per gallon

then after 4 weeks(variable, you have to learn how to Grow/judge this for yourself), Add Overdrive for 2 weeks. Flush for the following 2 weeks.

This rids your plants of the unwanted taste of Nutrients(Chemicals), and allows plants to use up all available nitrogen(what makes your smoke taste like Chitman!!!)
and, as it does, The fans leaves will Yellow!, and Die-Off,
as You finish the plant. If you accomplish this, then you will have the smoothest and sweetest tasting Smoke that you can achieve...It's not easy. It takes time and "Grows"

One more thing. If you are going to nute the Hell out of them...You better buy some real Lights! later.peace.lw:smokin:

5 full grown plants 1 of them is dying and 1 is a runt. In 3 gallon tub with 12" airstone on bottom.

2nd/3rd week of flower. Exact nute mix was grow-micro-bloom (10ml-10ml-10ml for Seedling) (30ml-20ml-10ml for Vegative) and now on (10ml-20ml-30ml for Bloom) each per Gallon.

yes, but my new flower chamber wasn't ready so they stayed in the Veg. chamber for an extra week. I also didn't know the strain and they looked indy. to me at the start really short bushy plants but all of a sudden in the flower chamber they reached for the sky. I had to move the HPS up every day so they wouldn't burn. Now it's as high as it can go and I have them tied to the chamber walls.

If you are using 30-20-10 right now. Flush your plants.

ok

You have to change over to Flower type recipe 10-20-30.

Yes, by golly I think I get it. I will empty out the res. and put in 8ml-16ml-24ml per gal. of grow-micro-bloom.

I think that is too much. You are going to fry them, Imo!

Ok I will put in 0-8-16 per gal.

I will start to add Overdrive in 2 weeks for 2 weeks then flush. But wait i have a question since I pruned them should I add a few weeks on the flowering time to make up for shock. I know I shouldn't have but the runt wasn't getting any light and the big ones had fan leaves the size of my head blocking the canopy. I was sparring and only took a few of each big plant and some small branches at the bottoms.

I was told by someone in my family to cut the yellow or burnt leaves off as they appear. Good or Bad? especially the burnt ones so the plant wouldn't waste time trying to repair it. That I should remove only the burnt part leaving most of the leaf intact if possible. This happens a lot to me beacuse of side lights.

One more thing. If you are going to nute the Hell out of them...You better buy some real Lights! later.peace.lw:smokin:

My 1-250 HPS, 2-125w 6500k flors., 1-150w 2700k flors., 2-45w 2700k flors. and 2-45w 4700k flors. aren't enough to grow with good yeilds. That's $300+ in lights! What would you suggest 400HPS? do you think that would be ok in a plastic box with only 4 vent holes and 2 holes occupied by computer fans. Temps already reaches 120's if I don't leave it cracked open! Normally operating at 60's bottom 80-90's on top while cracked open.

I am hitting up the Hydro Shop today for some Revive and Big Bud! Anything else you think I should try for bigger yeilds. Roots look real good on big plants but the runt has only one root comming out of the basket and the dying one's root have gone slightly brown/pink but I think it's from the nut. mix beacuse they all look like that but he has the smallest root mass out of the big ones.
