Comes a Time, First Grow, Please Step Inside -- 2000 watt Sour Diesel

I have never used it, but it should still show up in the PPM. Also, garden guys can be great resources, but they will usually try to sale you the store.

For sure Bear, it's a tricky situation for the new consumer in this type of stuff. I was told it would not show up on the PPM by a few different people, anyone else care to comment? My PPM says right around 600 and it said 500 prior to the MOAB being put in, so perhaps some of it shows up? I put about 20% less the reccomended dose to be careful. Last thing I want is to come home to a bunch of nutrient burned plants!


Boy is it weird leaving your babies at home when you have paid such careful attention to them since you received em. They will be in good hands, and I will have to invest my faith in the person watching over them.

This has been a wild ride so far, partially because I have been setting up the room while the plants were already vegging, makes it a bit tricky! I don't think you have any choice when you are on a budget.

I am not sure if the MOAB I have is completely organic, but I did read that organic nutrients show up alot less on PPM?

P.S Really sorry I haven't had a chance to upload pictures guys! I know some of you really enjoy keeping up with the log alot better if pictures are up. Right now they are between 16-18 inches tall, I have vegged for three weeks now. The fun pictures will begin when I get home and they are eight days into flowering, I will be updating once a week so folks can see the progression. Hopefully they will be quite chunky! Noticed some slight yellowing on a couple of leaves, hopefully it isn't a huge deal.

safe journeys!

I am back on the east coast safe and sound, will be back to the babies the 28th! Keeping my fingers crossed my buddy keeps everything in check. Today is their first flowering day, I'm excited to see what progress they make in nine days while I'm gone.

So far two days into flower, plants are still completely wet. Buddy will water them tomorrow. The instructions on MOAB is give it to em for the first week of flowering... does it matter if I don't water em until day four of flowering? I was thinking I would give it a week of the MOAB once the nuting does start. Any problem with that?

That stuff can be pretty powerful from what I understand. I would try to follow directions as far as when to use, but go easy on the dosage until you know how your plants react. Some just give a nice dose for the first week of flowering and then wait until the last 3 to 4 weeks to use again on flower boosters. Me, I only use the last few weeks. Also, I would not give it with any other main nutes, meaning cut out your other main NPK stuff, but you can probably still use any additives such as Liquid Karma, CalMag, and things like this and if you are using SuperThrive you want to stop using it in flower unless the plant is stressed and that go's for most vit B additives IMO.
Like I said, be careful with the first dose. Couple weeks back my wife gave a plant that was still in the first week of flower a mix that was for some older girls which contained a very small amount of Cool Bloom and it burnt the heck out of the plant, gave her leaf burn and some canoe leaves, so be careful.

Thanks Blue. I put 20% less in the resivoir as directed on the bottle. Also used the main nutes as I was instructed to do so by the Hydro store. PPM is reading 600, should be okay I hope.

Talked to my friend who is taking care of them, and he said some slight slight curling on a few plants on the leaves (this has been a problem for over a week now) Doesn't seem to be spreading, said it doesn't look serious.

He also mentioned that the room is getting quite cold when the lights are off, is there any type of stress that the plant goes through if the difference between lights on temp is different than lights off temps?

With the temps, they say that you don't want more than a 10D change between light and dark times, but I have had as much as 15D without any noticeable dif, I used an electric heater for a while, but it pushed my electric up more than a 1K to have it on every day dering the dark cycle, so unless it is over 15D differents I really wouldn't worry.

Don't know for sure because I have been out of town since the lights started going off. But I would not be surprised in the least if it's right around fifteen degrees difference. My temps were around 73 with the lights on, and with no heat in the entire house it sure as hell felt like around 58 sometimes in the living room when I wake up. What would happen if the difference is indeed 15 degrees or more?

I will check it out when I get back home. Really don't want to need to put a heater in the room, more electricity, and then my humidity levels are going to be super low which will make it needed to water more often. But obviously I will do whatever is needed. Thanks Blue!

I am curious what is causing the curling even though it appears to be minimal right now. I am using one of those ghetto ph measure things, where you put three drops in the water. I am thinking it could be inconsistent ph levels? I really need to buy a ph pen when I get back.
