Sorry I just read your first post as well. Thanks on the info about the tubing I will definitely switch that out this weekend. I had already trimmed out the leaves but will definitely keep your advice in mind in the future when I miss a feeding. I also invested in some chemicals for adjusting the pH.
Be sure to stop by soon, as more pictures will follow. I need all the help I can get.
Moar pics.
Slight nute burn on the JR's, which was to be expected as I had to start them on nutes kind of early to compensate for the AK's (my first mistake. it won't happen again.) However everything seems to be doing much better. My AK2 is looking a little yellow and droopy and I'm not sure why, but maybe it will look a little better tomorrow. We'll see.
All plants have pretty much caught up to one another except JR#2, whose top has turned yellow. I'm not sure if it's dead but it's looking that way. Nodes are coming in nicely and I topped the other three today, which are about 5 inches tall. Trimmed some fan leaves as well to promote light exposure to lower parts. This is because of the ScrOG process, I need as much juice going to the nodes as possible so hopefully they will be as tall as the tops themselves. The topping should help with that as well.
Pictures will be posted tomorrow. Happy smoking
After lots of topping and waiting.
JTRs are bottom left and top right.
keep the pics and updates comeing were whatching:thumbsup:
Started flowering yesterday. Pics will be posted Sunday.
Looking forward to comments then:thumbsup:.
sounds good:thumbsup:
Posting for the OP. Started flowering a couple days ago and switched lights today, but the new light is orange, so here is a picture from today, right before the switch: http://i47.tinypic.com/23mpqx3.jpg
If you have 2 different strains in the same tub, you might run into issues. One strain might be a heavy feeeder, while the other likes small amounts of fertalizer.
This can become a problem during flowering, because it's when you bump up your PPM's and use the most nutrients. You could burn the shit out of one strain, while the other strain is still getting underfed.
whats your PH? If you check PH and it has gotten more acidic, the plants are using more water than nutrients. If you check you PH and it has risen since the last time, the plant is using more nutrients than water. This kind of tells you whether to use more nutrients, or to tone its down a bit. I like to push plants until they burn a little at the tips, thats when i know im feeding them as much as they can take.
Also, its not neccessary but a Cheap PPM pen would do you some good. Its the only way to really know how concentrated your solution is.
PPM has been rising gently (was 550 last time I checked), while pH has been falling (6.0), over the past few days, so I added water yesterday to even it out. Noticed first pistils on a few nodes today, so I'm pretty excited. So far I haven't seen any nute burn except on two leaves on my biggest AK, so I'm thinking about bumping up the nutes a bit. More pics will be coming Friday, and I'll update with definite PPM and pH.
