@Gteh420, yeah but they probly sold you that light not knowing wether you were going to become a serious grower or just do it one time and stop , imagine how mad you would have been getting sold say a K5-XL750 for like 1200 $ and then not even end up liking to grow because maybe you dont have time or w.e the case may have been , I think that guy did you a solid in the sense of helping you test out the water to see if you even like it before getting seriously invested into it . I do the same man I run a hydroponics store and often times when people come in they are looking to get set up even if they tell me that money isnt an issue I still try to sell them lower priced stuff so they can try it before they go all in on it . And you are right most of those people are just in it for the money but they also know there shit man . Well atleast were I am from me and the other 2 hydroponics stores do . And I have no doubts that the community here is amazing , in anycase I wish you the best on your adventures :) Thanks for responding and reading ! -Happy Growing!

@experimentgreen thanks. Went ahead and used it at a quarter strength. May just go with the one dose possibly a 2nd. I see a lot of people say it's strong and not to use it with every feeding as @mrs_larimar stated also. Definitely going to flush as I'll be making some edibles.

@Gteh420, sometimes it gets pretty difficult to sort through all the bullshit...cannabis is such a big money business and I get tired of having to find out if the nutrient companies and light companies and on are actually reliable and credible. So many wild claims that aren't accurate and no one to regulate them.😕

Experimentgreencommented6 years ago

@Gteh420, totally. I didnt use the miracle grow stuff but i thought it was insane in the similarity. This summer I'm going to try to piece together all the elements myself from the labels and make my own top dressing or nutrient pack to add in the soil. It's wild how much cheaper it is, and then I can somewhat guarantee it's using organic material and if it isn't i can only blame myself lol.

Gteh420commented6 years ago

@Experimentgreen, ya definitely fishy. Organic all the way next time

Hi gteh420, in my opinion the stuff got to much Nitrogen, there are other P and k boosters that will do a safer job, happy flowering

The_Projexxcommented6 years ago

@Gteh420, there are other companies other then Green planet that will provide you with organic nutrients but i honestly find GP preforms really well and its super kick ass in price . the medi one kit that comes with the 5 , 500ml bottles is 64.99 CND thats not bad for 500 ml bottles of a base and 4 adds :) they have a lot of products its well worth it to check them out man mygreenplanet.com

Gteh420commented6 years ago

@The_Projexx, awesome thanks. Will check that out on the next run . Would definitely like to keep it organic if I can.

The_Projexxcommented6 years ago

@Gteh420, and in terms of a better system for your next grow , try green planets system they sells starter kits that will give you your main nutrient plus 4-5 additives depending on the kit you choose . The medi one kit is nice , it comes with your base nutrient Medi One , then 4 adds Rezin , Liquid Weight , Massive Bloom and Ocean Magic . They are all organic too :)

@souljasam thanks. The leaves are near the top probably 2nd node down from one of the branches. I'll check to make sure it isn't spreading and check the pH as well. I haven't been checking pH at all since the 4th week or so. Not adding pH down either

Gteh420commented6 years ago

@souljasam, just a few leaves. Like 3 or 4 only. All on the same node. Will pick up a digital meter for sure as maybe I'm reading the colours wrong. I'm using half strength nutes. 3ml/gal of calmag and 10ml/gal of the bloom. In veg I was using same calmag and 10ml of botanicare grow

souljasamcommented6 years ago

@Gteh420, spend $50 and get a ph meter. much more accurate and way easier to read for someone who is colorblind. That said it seems like you are doing well with the phing if it does indeed fall into the 6.0-6.5 range. I have to wonder if it is holding that ph though as that is quite the drop for just the nutrients to be doing. For example mega crop even at the highest dose I do typically only drops me from 7.0 to about 6.1 or so. I would mix up a small batch of nutes for testing the ph over time. Like maybe 1L or so. Take ph readings 2x a day for a few days and see if it is pretty stable or if it shoots up. If it stays stable then all is good and it is likely not a ph issue. The discoloration could just be an odd little thing that happened. Is it on a lot of the leaves or just a few?

Gteh420commented6 years ago

@souljasam, tap water here looks to be about 8.0. After I add my nutes it's between 6 and 6.5 I'll have to check the runoff next time I water. Im colour blind too so the shades on the pH bottle are hard to tell. Have to focus lol

You got pretty unlucky but you're doing well though 🚀

Gteh420commented6 years ago

@CRiSPrGrow, Well I just fimmed or topped 4 different tops. The 4 tallest ones in the pic. Couldn't tell how much I pinched off. Fingers crossed. Will flip in 1 week

CRiSPrGrowcommented6 years ago

@Gteh420,if you top it once more you'll get 1x2+1x1 = 3 colas, top it twice to get 1x2+2x1 = 4 colas does that make sense ? Answer is : yeah top away anyway you can keep it in veg lol

@CRiSPrGrow, I hear ya. Does sound excusey. Their site says 70-80 days flowering time. I assumed when ordering that meant total time but she said until it starts flowering. https://www.growerschoiceseeds.com/shop/cannabis-seeds/auto-flowering/critical-purple-auto-flowering-feminized-cannabis-seeds/ Either way I'll switch to 12/12 next week. I already topped it once a few weeks ago. It's safe to top again now before flowering begins?

I’m sorry the timing sucks. I hope you’ve said something to Growers Choice. They’re super responsive to me, but I’ve only exchanged positive emails back and forth... if mine ends up like yours, I’m going to give them hell! Following your grow definitely helps me mentally prepare, so thanks again for reaching out!

Gteh420commented6 years ago

@MissCannabitch, ya pissed me off too just because I had a photo plant that I wanted to train and veg for like 6 months to put outside in the summer. When I called them they were like, oh just flip because it's only 10% ruderalis...... Misleading but whatever lol. Because of this problem I ended up flipping the entire room. Good luck to your grow!

MissCannabitchcommented6 years ago

@Gteh420, that irritates me more because on the strain info page they say that there’s no need to flip. They seem to be as sneaky as the reviews I’m starting to find are saying! Honestly, like I said, you really are helping my grow out a lot. Thank you!! Can’t wait until your Harvest!

Gteh420commented6 years ago

@MissCannabitch, thanks. Seems to be working out and growing nicely. They we're responsive to me I just think they don't inform well enough. They explained that this auto is only 10% ruderalis and that you may need to trigger flower by flipping. That's jnfo they should give up front instead of saying it'll flower automatically in X days. Maybe that's the case with most autos? Not enough experience for me yet.
