Fimmed the Black D.O.G girls and the GC starting to show good signs of growth. Will be upping the nutes on the BD to 7ml/10l this comming week. Thinking of doing a supercrop/SOG.
Ive got some serious wilting going on and scared I might loose a plant. I fed the plants 2 days ago and backed off watering completely, as the ground is still moist. (Plants where fimmed around 2 days ago as well)
I think with the look of it your growing in coco perlite mix not soil so you will need to feed more nutes not less and water every 2 days so u get run off every water the paleness is from lack of nutrient maybe in need of a calmag supplement as anyone who grows in coco will know u always need calmag at some point
Plants made a magnificent comeback after I almost killed them. 🙈 Added Calmag and silica to the nute mix and can already see a clear difference in the plants. Real nice bushy structure coming along.
Week 4: Almost getting ready to set up SOG netting and flip to 12/12 and . The plants have been really thirsty the last week and gone through rougly 10l of water. Going to flush them all (with 10l per plant) at the end of next week and swith over to flower.
Girls are really looking well and small pistols have started popping up everywhere. Smell is definitely more pungent and colour looks good. Struggling to keep the humidity down, so I have added another extraction fan to pump stale air out. Next week ill start introducing bloom nutes back in the mix.
Budsites have started popping up everywhere and the plants are looking great. Having slight issues keeping the humidity low, but buying a dehumidifier this week. Shortage on space is really starting to become a issue now.
Ill be flushing the plants with a EC 1.2 solution at the end of the week and let them dry for 5 days before boosting the bloom to EC 1.8
Gave the batch a real good flushing and then turned down the heat and humidity to reset the metabolism of the plants.
Plants are responding well to the flush and buds have really started popping everywhere. Happy with the first grow and have now found my feet. Thanks again to everyone who shared their knowledge.
Plants are doing extremely well and bud development has really kicked into full gear. The Black dogs are already fattening up, but the greencrack still has some way to go.
The greencrack is giving off a really pleasant fruity, diesel smell.
Next week will be the second flush and then ill let it dry for 5 days before giving it a EC of 1.8.
Getting into the homestraight and really happy how things went. Getting ready for the last 2 week flush and then, harvest.
Next time ill focus on feeding more regularly and not as much quantity.
Was pretty bumpy start but went well towards the end. Had slight mold issues on one plant, but threw it out as soon as it appeared. Fairy easy to grow, but requires strict training.
@AfricanGreen, yeww thanks dude. Definitely going to give this a bash. I have to say that the plants are extremely happy now in flowering, almost dubbled in size in a matter of days. Im actually limited with space and thinking of kicking either 2 plants out, or buying a new light and having 1 more growbox built. Ive gone with the EHG schedule for now, and toned down the strength by a quarter. Thanks again for the help!
@biggreens420, thefoxfarmer is using GHE nutes, @SUBVAULT420, I'm Using the EHG Products but i'm using RDWC. I Was using 3/4 recommended strength for veg and moving up to full strength during flower but i recently got a new feeding schedule to try from the growshop. This is quite long so please bare with me.
Seedlings - Week 1 - 0.2 EC Micro
Seedlings - Week 2 - 0.4 EC Micro
Seedlings - Week 3 - 0.6 EC Micro (Clones start on this dosage)
Veg - Week 1 - 0.6 EC Micro then add Grow till you reach 0.8 EC
Veg - Week 2 - 0.6 EC Micro then add Grow till you reach 1 EC
Veg - Week 3 - 0.6 EC Micro then add Grow till you reach 1.2 EC
Veg - Week 4 - 0.6 EC Micro then add Grow till you reach 1.4 EC (Stay on this dosage if veg longer
During the Transistion period for 2 weeks you feed equal parts Grow, Micro & Bloom to get a total of 1.4 EC which is about 7ml/10L per nutrient
Flowering - Week 1-3 - Keep same Micro amounts as above and use half the Grow as above and then add bloom until you reach 1.6 EC. i.e. Roughly 7ml/10L Micro.. 3.5ml/10L Grow & add bloom till reaching 1.6EC
Flowering - Week 4 & Onwards - 0.6 EC Micro and add bloom till reaching 1.6EC.
Then Flush With PH balanced water for last 2 weeks.
This is meant for hydro though, he says he hasn't tried it in coco or soil mediums, but it should be ok will just need monitor the plants. Hope this helps.
Im growing a black dog (week 5 flower) and shes finicky. She also did not respond well to topping. Shes only taking in around 250 ppms and thats in week 5 flower! I got a picky pheno thats for sure. Good luck with your grow man!
@Thegermling509, had the same issues brother, @africagreen gave me some killer advice. Go check on my comment line.
Nr 1: check your water and make sure its phd correctly
Nr 2: Add in some calmag and silica
Nr 3: go have a look at what @Foxfarmers is doing
Happy growing
a Fan would help evaporate the water more, but if you waited more between watering it should be fine. I've learnt its easier to give less nutes than required, as you can always top up more if needed. But if you go to strong, nute lockout and stunting the plant could happen which is more difficult to get back to normal than a plant that may have slight deficiency. I'm not sure if you in S.A. but just be careful not to shock the plant moving and leaving it outside as its flowering season now here.
@AfricanGreen, thanks for the advice the plants are looking a million times better today. Moved a bigger fan and and extraction system into the growtent. Definitely scaling down on the nutes, till I see some propper growth coming back. Yes im in the North of ZA, but I move them back inside after 4. Thanks again for all the advice.
Plants look a bit over watered, remember you want the top to be bone dry, you should feel the weight difference between the plant thats been watered and one that needs watering. also i wait till about 3-4 sets of leaves before adding my EHG Products, Also i find there recommended dosage is a bit high, i start off at 1/2 strength and work my way up to full strength during flower
@AfricanGreen, thanks for the advice really appreciate it. Im going to back off with the nutes till I get them back on track. Ive brought in a extra fan and moved some outside to see if I can dry the medium this way.
