looks happy, no stretch so the light is good, fat and chunky leaf structure nice and good a couple yellow spotted burns before - in coco I faced fungus gnats - neem took them down no worries as well as a bug catcher or sticky strip happy growing, nice gorilla

@babbabluespear,i believe it was improperly prepared media that triggered it. Ive dealt with the pesky gnats in past grows as well but zero signs of any pest infestation. I kept a close t5 light on her first week and then switched over to the LED and node spacing as you pointed out is nice and compact. Thanks for checking it out

Ga4rd2en0ercommentedweek 26 years ago

@OutForRealbeanCarib thanks for the advice. I normally run my grows at 5.8 5.9 but I was waiting for my ph- to show up and the nutes with my water source come in naturally at 6.2. I'll have ph- tomorrow and will fed to 30% to 40% runoff to flush and lower ph. She's growing at a decent clip so I would like to avoid shocking her with a transplant but I also dont want to end up stunting her from a lockout from increased Na or K from the non buffered coco. I forgot to mention in the question section that her stems are purplish even with 5ml/g calmag+

@Ga4rd2en0er, Hey there , for cal mag something interesting is that the uptake from the roots is 20% efficient, and from the leaves it's 95% efficient, that means that for a quick cal mag fix you can use a spray bottle twice a day and spray the cal mag on... try to saturate the water by adding one or two ML more per L than the max for feed, and spray... yes , it's that simple ! hope this helps ! 🚀

Congrats on the harvest, that should be an awesome dry weight. Especially when you only used 209W of power :)

@Tried_and_Tested, its a good little light. If I dont go outdoors this summer, I am planning on building my own COB setup and customize it to completely cover my grow space, but thar will run around $350. The $120 viparspectra was impressive. I got 3 oz from her before and I think my dry weight should be around 4oz this one.

@Ga4rd2en0er, Impressive! I always was a bit wary of those viparspectra lights, but they seem to do the job rightly! Cheers for letting me know :)

Ga4rd2en0ercommented6 years ago

@Tried_and_Tested, one little cheap viparspectra "450" from amazon powered most of the grow, I did supplement some side lighting and below canopy area with another small led panel the last couple weeks.

Hi i see no typical signs of calmag def. what i see is some lockout"scars" from having a wrong PH . The range should be between 5.5 and 6.5 . and its good if the PH flows, in dependence of your stage try to let the ph around 5.5 and 6 so the plant can absorb the nutes she needs in that stage like sulfur, boron manganese and zink

@Ga4rd2en0er,thats a great range....

Ga4rd2en0ercommented6 years ago

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks for responding. ph has been 5.9 to 6.2 for the short time she's been alive. I did calibrate my ph meter with my solutions so hoping its accurate. I use an oakton ph1 ecometer.

no need to change coir - flush it and keep flushing it until you can start again and blank canvas address its needs softly - 1st month - perfect time to feed as next 2 weeks...

Hey there I'm not sure where you're located but i was able to get the kelzyme at my local garden store (not superstore like home depot etc) but it may also be available @ a hydro store. But the epsom and dolomite lime is much more easily available...i think even Walmart might have dolomite. Good luck with all the options i hope your plants feel better soon. ✌️

Ga4rd2en0ercommentedweek 26 years ago

Thanks everyone. Just got my ph- and lights will be on in a few hours. Will feed to 50%+ runoff to flush out the coco. I do have a solo foliar feeder on hand if it does become a lock out from the unbuffered coco. Seems like a lot of people complained on amazon about the GH cocotek 5kg bale being as salty as the Dead Sea. I guess i can hydrate some more of it, hit it with my tds meter and see what it comes in at. Right now my initial runoff ph is 6.1 and tds 800. My water source is 40 ppm. Store bought costco kirkland bottled RO water. I have a 5 stage portable RO filter but unfortunately the way our home is laid out, although legal in my state, i don't want to draw attention filling water bottles all the time. Unfortunately burglary is above average in my area. Beach community go figure.
