Girls turned 28 day old today.
They received a feed of 800 ppm 1.6 ec of floranova grow ph'ed at 5.5.
Runoff water came out at 800 ppm 1.6 ec with the ph sitting at 6.0
Likely switching the lights to 12/12 sometime this week.
OG XTRM is not quite as bushy as the Candy Kush, but that was expected. Plants look great..
Thanks for the looks, likes, and comments....π

Flipped the ladies to 12/12 today as the smallest girl was nearing 18 inches. Others are about 22"
@PremiumBudsEU, Thanks my friend. We Will be enjoying this for quite some time...The only way to get a taste of Amsterdam here in Canada....is to grow yourself...And it's well worth it...ππ
Really nice again Pal.. so was reading thru the 1st few weeks. When you say you ph'ed to the mid 5. So, with promix, is that not like soil. Only reason I ask. Is I'm using biobizz all mix 40% and light mix 60% (the light is more coco based) so with my GREENHOUSEF synthetic line, it mainly gives a PH of around 6, as its the mineral line, but I PH it to mid 6 as that's what you need to be aiming for with soil. My water is 6.7 so, I thought why not PH the nutrients to that to right? Just, a bit of what you do. As I see, you use a much lower PH and your plants are tops, that's coco levels?? The mid 5s, is that what promix is? Coco based with some nutrients based soil mixed in with perlite and that?
@GMSgrows, yeah, I was thinking that's what you had. (Coco values sub). Great growth. Yeah, cal/mag is a bitch even with biobizz light mix I've had calmag issues early with fems from it. Will definitely having a look at this orange Cross stuff, cheers.
Yeah, I'm not so great at doing all that ppm and run off tests. Too many plants to look after to do that tbh. But, when I find a good strain. I'm gonna do 3-5 seeds, take clones from all. And bring them through veg right up until the mothers are dry and best bud and that. Still trying to find that strain though.. the Super Lemon Haze is my best. But still not what I want. Any suggestions?
Ok..I get you what you mean. Yeah, will have a look for sure at how you do it when I scale things back when I find the 1.
Cheers π»
@gottagrowsometime,Thanks budπππ Promix HP (orange cross) is a top quality all peat based with plenty of perlite. Just like coco except no need usually for cal/mg like coco. The peat retains it very well., so it is cheaper growing with my setup than coco. It is like coco for values, basically hydroponic rules. With keeping and eye on runoff waters, I never just plain water when I water them, always run enough ppm for the stage their at...I give them enough so that their getting a little flush through every feed. It helps keep the ec from building. If I see it creeping up, the I will ph the water lower the next feed. They get fed every 3 days,whether their dried out or not. Pretty hard to overwater, just like coco. So I maintain the ph and don't let the runoff waters ph go past 6 in veg and 6.2 to 6.3 in flower. To follow this setup, you pretty much need to use my nutrients as any other would cost a fortune to run this way. 1 jug of my stuff last a real long time for a hundred bucks. Very concentrated, looks like mud. Not good for a drip system, that's for sure...
