When I flip to 12/12 should I feed veg nutes, bloom nutes or a mixture of both, if both what ratio, I was thinking 1st week 70/30 veg/bloom and 2nd week 30/70 veg/bloom?

For the first two weeks give it growth nutes, after the second weeks add the bloom nutes in a 50%-50% ratio

@ChroToker I don't personally use Beneficial bacteria additives in my DWC reservoirs anymore simply based on cost effectiveness. If everything about your grow has been optimized from temperatures, airflow to humidity and you are looking to improve something then adding active microbial life in your reservoir can do wonders! However without an ideal environment the effectiveness of the microbial life falls drastically. On the contrary if you have an ideal environment and are adding C02 then microbial life effectiveness goes up even more! If you do have an ideal environment and are looking for a good DWC Beneficial bacteria then I recommend 'ReCharge". Long story short: In my opinion Beneficial bacteria should come 2nd to last in your environment and only when followed by C02 for the most cost effective results. Of course if cost effectiveness isn't a worry to you then microbial life is good for roots at all times! (just don't forget to do reservoir swaps) 😎 I hope I was able to help with your question ChroToker. Be sure to update us!

Has my grow stalled, seem very under developed for this stage, the very tops seemed to have got slightly bigger this week but not by much but all the lower stuff has stayed tiny! There just not filling in at all in length or breadth, should I flush or carry on as I am?

Hi, ive been looking through your Diary and the Girls started to flower in week 11, that means you are in 3.rd week of flower. I think your Girls will need 7-8 more weeks in flower.. The only thing your GIrl need now is TIME. Nutrients by itself wont help alone. Its always the big Match of LIGHT, POTSIZE ( ROOTS) And TIME. Your LIghts are good, Potsize is fine. Dont overdo it with The Nutrients, save your booster , give it in 4 weeks . Happy growing

I meant to say before - super lemon haze was my last grow. You won't be disappointed! Smells and tastes delicious. Unfortunately that was before I discovered growdiaries,com, so no journal.

MrGreenFingers
@Hybrid, I do hope so, smell and especially taste are the most important thing for me, pity I can't check out how your grow went as mine seems to have stalled since I topped her, she is just staying at 9 inches tall, I know she will stretch alot and possibly triple I height but still I expected her to be bigger at this point, she is also hardly drinking so maybe it will take off once I flip to flower??

@Mrs_Larimar, I just switched light from a Viparspectra 900W (actual 418) to this light, but this light should be better as it's a Quantum board so alot more red spectrum for flowering apparently!
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimar
@MrGreenFingers,look at the grow ive posted to you its very similar..... And I grow both, but previously my first indoors photoperiod,,, i switched 3 weeks ago to 12/12 and no sign of flower
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingers
@Mrs_Larimar, I really hope you ate right! It should be considering there Sativa's! Do you grow photo's or autos? I ask because I'm wandering whether I might have a light leak and if so could this be affecting it as my other girl in the tent took almost 4 weeks to start flowering after 12/12 switch!

i'm just nervous about the idea of intentionally contaminating my tank and my grow room, plus you can always add enzymes and humic + fluvic acid which basically does the job better. Are you going aquaponics ? like with live fish and stuff? are you a microbiologist ? if not well why are you making petri dishes lol ? gonna be real hard to stay on top of a dynamic system, one night with no warning the culture can blow up suddenly you're growing mushrooms and mold... headaches bro, spare yourself ! πŸš€

@MrGreenFingers, There is difference in Quality/Yield in terms of using Beneficial bacteria vs not. Typically both quality and yield will increase with proper use. However without an ideal environment the results aren't cost effective vs time and $ spent in my opinion. If you do have an ideal environment and you can add C02 then its pretty undeniable that they can be cost effective.
CRiSPrGrow

@MrGreenFingers, πŸ˜‚ as always i suppose, going bio is going to yield less than synthetics or a mix of synthetics and bio (minus 20% yield at least in soil-less - you see folks crying about that when they experiment - see some of hawkbo's grows where he tries it) ... by the way check out a few really cool aquaponic grows on here lol, dude keeps complaining about his fish πŸ˜‚

@CRiSPrGrow, No bro, I've only run cannazym and Rhizotonic lol, got root rot because I switched from air stones to some air diffuser rings I bought on eBay but didn't check them and all the holes must have got blocked and there was 0 air in my res, switched back to air stones and am now running a sterile res which I will most likely continue with next run, I really want to know if there is a noticable difference in quality and yield?

3 quick questions 1.did you use the recommended amount of terpinator? 2.do you really believe that it helps with the smell does it make a difference? 3.and when you added it to the water did you add it with the nutrients in the same container or did you add it separately?
ChefGreenThumbGardenofWeedin
ChefGreenThumbGardenofWeedin
@MrGreenFingers, thanks for taking time to answer
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingers
@ChefGreenThumbGardenofWeedin, hey bro, here are the answers 1. I used 4ml per litre throughout flower 2. Honestly not sure, only way to tell is run a side by side with 2 cuttings from a mother plant but I can say my buds have good smell and flavour 3. Just mixed my nutes as usual in 1 bucket and added this to same bucket, hope it helps bro, 1 thing I would say is that it does raise ec at about 0.1 per 1ml/l even though it claims not to and also I bought the 5l bottle but I will have this for the next 5 years at this rate but I only grow 2 plants at a time in a 4x2

hey man check this out : https://cch2o.com/growers-blog/root-pruning-to-aid-in-proper-system-function/ if you've not been doing this, that's why growth has been stalled, a bit late in the cycle to do it, but better late than never ! πŸš€

Hey there i see you mention the phone camera and it's lack of producing the best photos. I had trouble with this all summer...then i started to mess with the settings more, using with flash and without, and taking it off the auto setting too. Maybe if you haven't already tried this, test it out.✌️ Your 3rd and 4th pic this week still turned out very nice.
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingers
@Experimentgreen, thanks! They have definitely improved since the start of the journal when I was using Auto as the light from my boards is warm white so made everything lighter then it actually is, I am using pro mode now and have set it so the pictures look more as the plant should, I also bought a clip on macro and wide angle lens but I need to do some reading up as know nothing about photography!

Any chance defoliating at this time might have slowed them down a touch too?(5th week of flower) On your other grows did you defoliate around this same time frame?
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingers
@Experimentgreen, it might have done but this is the least I have ever defoliated and never had an issue, think the issue is the root rot I got earlier in the grow as I'm used to a much bigger root ball at this point

Your training is perfect πŸ˜πŸ‘ do you notice a difference between the Vipar and the Quantum at that stage ?
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingers
@OutForReal, thanks Bro! Honestly it is so hard to tell with the lights as this is my first Sativa strain and first photoperiod grow so I really don't know, but my boards have a hell of a lot more red spectrum but less blue so should be better during flowering, at least on paper! Can't wait to see the results, my next grow when I go back to indicas will give me a better comparison although I'm going to stick with photoperiod's now, Stawberry Banana and Kosher Kush from DNA genetics are next on my list πŸ‘

Looking good man. I'm a big fan of Shogun nutrients. Check out my diary - also a first DWC grow - having moved over from coco. What LED are you using?

@Hybrid, thanks man, yeah I am liking the shogun so far but I also liked canna to be honest, I am using a quantum board for this run, it uses the new Samsung Lm301b diodes, I swapped from a Viparspectra 900w, I will check out your grow dude

Good luck bro. I'm telling you general hydroponics nutrients when you want to try something new when you run out of what you got, cheap and effective in every growing medium (hydro, soil, and coco coir) Look at how my pineapple express auto loves it. Watch my journal and you'll see. My friend uses canna in his coco set up though with good results.

@AutoKing, thanks man, actually just using up the last of my Canna nutes and then will be running the whole shogun range, once there done I think I will try Dutch Pro or Remo, just to much to choose from lol
