Welcome to week 2! The girls are doing nicely, gave them a light feeding on day 11, still only using about 8 oz of water in a small circle around the stems. It will be another week or so until I can get into the normal watering cycle/amount. The one girl is a day or so behind due to a small issue during germination, but nothing to be concerned about, running my light at 25% power, I tried going a bit higher, but I started to see some minor leaf twist on the one plant, so 25% is all they are getting for another week, then I'll try going a little higher and see how they react. Its going to be a little trial and error since this is my first grow using the sf2000, but after this grow it will be all dialed in. I will continue with light feedings every other watering, with cal mag being added once pistils start showing, probably around the 4-5 week mark. Well until next week, smoke em if you got em. Peace.
Looking good mate, I think you may have an issue similar to mine, looks like a little too much N causing the cal mag to lock out careful with the calmag as it can contain N.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice, I hope its helpful. Good luck with the rest of your grow ๐๐
@InspireMe,That may be a possibility, I'm using a bloom nutrients for the entire grow, which is low in N, however they started showing pistils at 2 weeks so its possible the N requirement of the plants was quite low after flowering began and maybe a little too much N built up in the medium due to not enough run off during watering. Increasing calcium did make a difference, runoff ph was good. All in all I'm thinking its due to the lower nutrient requirement and early flowering characteristics of this particular strain. I did have a similar thing occur with another early flowering auto strain. It will be interesting to see if the increased runoff makes a difference on the next grow. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy growing.
@Growurownseed, Thanks! I use maxi gro during veg, half gro and half bloom for the first 3 weeks of flower, and then all bloom for the rest of flower. In 2.5 years I've only had to buy 3 small bags of bloom, lasts a long time, fairly cheap, and gets results. Add a good cal-mag like ROOTS and thats really all you need, screw spending hundreds of dollars on nutes, when you really don't need to. Happy growing bro.
