Switching to bloom with an idea that this strain has neraly stretched 2.5x during the initial weeks of flowering. New lamp and new seals around all my ventilation. Things are going well. Lots of pruning under the canopy. I've trimmed and I've not trimmed in the past. I do find it best to take out the stuff underneath that would be draining nutrients and not completely contributing to the actual photosynthesis. Smell is continuing to become stronger.
@McKush420 , no worries, a well deserved appraisal!
If you did have any tips on the do's and don't's for a beginner that'd be great! I'm trying to work out how to mimic all optimal conditions for a 4x4 tent.
I didn't think about RO but doing my homework looks like it'd be worth the effort. What kind of RO system do you use? And do you know the wattage on your system? But to be completely honestly i dont understand what your RO system is? does it go through RO and then do you water with the product that comes out the other end? Similar to an Hydrologic stealth 300
Things get coldish here so i think ill try to use a heater when things go that way but the HPS should keep that under control the majority of veg. Planning to use a thermostat controller to keep the optimal temp and hope for that to be suffice. Will use a water heater for ideal water temp.Do you heat your water?? What is your opinion on my choices?
Planning to follow your phenos, (assuming you mean light) will change light time depending on how the girls are going. Can't get access to many nutrients here so that is going to be my biggest struggle, Looking on this site and viewing various videos/tutorials 1 gram/watt is achieved by a variety of top competitor nutrients so for now I'm just going to keep looking at high quality grows to try and find the best nutrients i can obtain and hope for the best. Have access to canna products and a few others but i haven't been on a diary yet with only canna used with good results like yours! so i am skeptical.
The thing I'm struggling to understand is in the flower stage in some grows there are approximately 20m/l of nutrients added but there are 10 + different products used in some of the diaries... I'm reluctant to listen to what the local hydro shop say as they are going to sell me something even if it isnt going to give me a high yield. I don't know how i'm going to substitute this to achieve similar results.. we do have a selection of nutrients BUT i don't know how as a novice I'm going to suddenly have my own recipe made up suddenly
Any ideas/tips? :D
I don't actually know what signs are of knowing when to switch from veg to flower do you know any signs?
1)OK golden rule noted cheers, following my question above about RO because i'm assuming you water 2-3 times per day? how many times do you feed a day? does your feeding schedule change throughout the grow?
2)This will my first so i hope to learn haha. Assuming you mean the top bud why would the top bud need supporting after going through the scrog? do you mean tying the branch into the scrog?
3)Please...... elaborate with this bacon trick, do you mean in the room or just in the kitchen in the morning?
Well I'm impressed so far McKush!! Do you mean a consultancy relating to info on this or a different kind ?

@McKush420 Nice plants dude! What are the benefits from using such a large pot? Sorry I'm abit of a novice. Was also curious as to how you knew that another ScrOG is necessary ? and do you control the smell from the plants and if so how do you control/cover that? Are the pots 18 L or 18 gal
Would love to ask some more questions if you were willing to answer.
Will definitely watch this thread to see how these babies go!
Cheers

@TryhardApprentice, thanks for the compliment.
1) container size. I've watched the same phenos, given the same nutrients on the same schedule produce drastically different results. It's an easy golden rule, bigger the roots, the bigger the fruits. That being said, I may have gone overkill. Watering these 68 L totes means I'm lugging in almost 40l of water every 3-4 days. I use Reverse Osmosis because it takes on nutes better then anything else and I don't own a water filteration system.
2) This being my 7th round with this strain I know how she reacts. I installed my first scrog mid-veg knowing that the tops that will be produced during the second week of flower will need support. With this setup I will top one time and tie over my mid internodes.
3) As for the smell I'm running a ventilation system through a charcoal filter. This eliminates the majority of odors. With cannabis being legal and only running a cycle of two plants in well within my legal means. I have had to be discreet in the past and if your looking for a tip. BACON. Slow cook one strip every day in a pan with a slice of onion and you will be good. Trust.
Ask away,I would like to run a consultancy in the near future so I honestly welcome any questions.
