Bottom bud sites starting to fill in a bit now. Fan leaves are yellowing despite good feeding, but new leaf growth is very dark green and showing slight nutrient burn. Will keep at a lower feed dose now and let the fan leaves do their thing.
Everything is going well, no major hiccups this run!
Congratulations on the harvest! For the first time I used my QB304 @ 110W to grow LSD-25. Unfortunately, I ran into a deficiency which more likely stunted her growth. I'll be using the same setup again and see what the quantum boards really do.
I'm looking forward to your next grow ๐
@Short_N_stockY, Cheers! Once you dial it in, i think you'll love it.
I'm getting close to 1g per watt with a full tent, last grow was 135g total at 150w. I too ran into deficiencies in my first grow with the QB's, but i wasn't testing ph and i think i had a bunch of other newbie problems as well. My last 3 runs have been great.
@420Maru,Thanks!
My first time trying a single plant so i thought id have a go at a scrog. Pot size is probably a little small but it seems to be ok ๐
Yes you are correct, the website says higher than 7.6 to lower. But if i use straight 8.5 tap water and add the 3.5ml/l of Bio Flores, it comes down to around 5.7, so i never saw the need to lower it or it would end up in the 4's.
I think the cal mag need comes more from your medium and light source. Coco apparently needs a great deal of cal mag added, as it doesn't provide any. I use Canna soilless mix which has some coco, plus using LED, so i choose to use it.
As far as lowering, i just use standard ph up/down. I know these aren't organic, but it's what i could find at the time and it works well using 1 or 2 drops.
@evilsurfer, I'm using An current and adding cal mag.. Thing is my tap water is mad hard, So I'm thinking if I go bio all the way maybe I dont need to add cal mag..
.And yes what did you use for lowering ph?? If i give them only water I lover it with lime acid...
P.s: I think I read on their website if your ph is higher than 7.6 we need to lower it..
@CovikLaFlaire, I found that with my tap water (Ph 8.6) using the old Bio line i had to adjust, as the ph would come out around 4.something with the Bio Flores. They seemed to be using a new formula now as the nitrogen levels have been upped in the Flores (Which are now actually higher than the old bottle of Bio Vega i have) and when i follow the feed chart my ph comes out around 5.6-5.7.
They do say there's no need to adjust, but i always like to check anyway.
As far as cal mag, i use it every second watering as a precaution. I had issues with my first grow so i started using it, but am unsure if it contributed to better results or if i just got better as a grower. It's so cheap that i just use it anyway, and you need so little of it. General consensus is that you need it with LED so that's good enough for me.
I did 1 ml/l every second watering from early veg and then i did .5 ml/l every second watering in the last 4 weeks or so.
