AK-47 in E&F - rockwool/clay medium (First Grow Log)
Hey guys, sorry I haven't checked in earlier but I have got some pretty, what I would consider amazing pics from how punked they were looking only a week ago. Due to the fact they are looking so much better I've just started them on a 12/12 bloom cycle that just started today at 8pm and will obviously end at 8am from now on. A week ago when I filled the reservoir I filled with half strength Ionic Grow (2 tsp/gal) which put me at [email protected] with 20 gallons in my 40 gallon reservoir. Every day since then I've added 1 gallon of tap water that sat out overnight with 1 tsp of Ionic Grow every day shortly after the lights kick on. Today, and for the rest of the week I will be adding 1 gallon of water with 3 tsp of Ionic Grow because I believe some of the new growth is starting to show some signs of under-nute as you will see with these pics in a couple of shots. I've maintained a PH of between 5.7-6.0 and between [email protected] all week by ONLY adding that 1 gallon of tap with 1 tsp of Ionic Grow so thats been working out very well. The plants are just now starting to give off some skunky aroma's but nothing really overpowering at all. Still debating what I want to do to solve the carbon filter problem. I think maybe tommorow I'm going to figure out how I want to rig that other Ballast in there but I do have one question...Do you think its ok if I just go with the T5 HO Metal Halides in that 4 light ballast or should I go all red spectrum ones? Right now in my 8 light ballast I'll be sitting at 4 MH and 4 of the red spectrum ones. I was thinking about going to the store this week and just getting 8 more of the red spectrum ones and putting it in both ballasts. That again would put me at an overall lumen count of 60,000 within an 800 cubic inch enclosure.
On another note about the Curling serrated parts of my leaves, I also have a picture of that as well. If that is a PH problem I've been sitting mostly between 5.9-6.0 all week....should I drop it to like 5.6-5.8 then???
Alrighty, Here are the pics, tell me what you think guys!!!
