JJ wow! should be a harvest worthy of song. I love the purple, I hope your environment is optimal I had a little bud rot on mine but I caught it in time. I wish you a cool dry and a slow cure Cheers. 💪

@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, I actually found one cola today that had bud rot. Cut it and salvaged what I could. Only a week left. I'm hoping nothing else pops up.

@Homegrown420, the HLG version is really kind of expensive but it's assembled in the USA. If you decide to grab one you can get the kit here: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/HLG-550-V2-samsung-lm301b-quantum_62114789245.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.89.1.4ad62dfcZHnM0D for much cheaper. You just have to assemble it yourself which is apparently very easy.

Hi. Nice work. I have 1 question. I have Greenception GC16 LED and there is 4 switches. 1st marked grow 2nd and 3rd is full spectrum and 4th is bloom. For veg i need to have only grow switch on and for flower just full spectrum and bloom on and veg switch off? And how far from seedlings plants to keep light please?

@DrGreenTumb, Hey, I did some googling and I would say that you want the full spectrum light on all the time. You would then turn on the growth / bloom switches depending on the age of the plants. I'm an inexperienced grower, and honestly for light distance I just kinda guess and hope for the best lol. I've got an HLG 550 v2 so I'm chucking a lot of light at them either way. As long as your plants aren't stretching out and getting super lanky searching for light you should be fine.

hi, ive been looking whats inside , its 7 percentP and around 6 percent K. Not to heavy for a booster....youve been doing great with your fertilisers ..... but its your decision... i would do it.. because no N inside that could harm her/ them

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks! I'll use it this week then. I appreciate the response.

DrewbieDoobieNoobiecommentedweek 66 years ago

what ever adjustment you made seem to be working. The girls really bounced back for week 5 to now. I have a similar issue with the heights on mine tallest is at 11" the shortest is about 7" gonna go 1 more week myself and flip at week 6 and scrog. I see a lot of fat knuckles in that one pic are they all HST? they look good JJ I'm looking forward to next weeks pics. 👍

@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, actually everything in that one pic is just how it grew. I should probably clone that one. It did that without any help from me.

Are you running a chiller or air stone on your buckets? I'm just curious what your water temp is. my 1st grow was DWC and I'm in coco now next grow with clones will be DWC. they grew hella fast,Cheers.

DrewbieDoobieNoobiecommented6 years ago

@jamaljackson, Hydroponic plants are especially susceptible to Cal-Mag deficiencies due to the absence of soil and access to rainwater. If you use RO or distilled water, the chances are high that your plants are getting next to no Cal-Mag. Calcium is an immobile nutrient. If there is a deficiency of the mineral in the soil or nutrient solution, the growing ends of the plant usually show symptoms first. If you keep adding it in your feedings moving forward they should be ok.

jamaljacksoncommented6 years ago

@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, yeah the Roots Excelurator from H & G is supposed to protect against it. They seem to be growing like crazy and love it. I'm still trying to get this calcium deficiency fixed though.

@jamaljackson, ok I was worried about root rot but your temps are right at the top end if it gets any warmer I would check the roots more often. for that brown slimy mess. I got it once and it did not take long to set in. I hope you never have to go through that. Good looking grow

I'm in the same boat as you with my grow. just started week 12 you let yours veg one extra week more than mine I am using a 11/13 flower schedule and I've been told it can shave off a week or two of flowering. so I'm looking at your girls and I agree, you got maybe another month. Scope your trichomes. still glassy and clear let it grow cloudy-milky white getting the head high all amber couchlock 70/30 white to amber is my favorite balance some like 50w/50a lights out at 70a/30w that would be a good indicator on when to harvest. do you flush? I would love to hear you thoughts on if you do or not. they look great bet they smell great too. nice full scrog😃

jamaljacksoncommented6 years ago

@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, I do plan on flushing, I know people say it's "bro science" but what do I really have to lose. My 10th week of flowering will end may 13th, I will probably flush until the weekend of that week and then harvest. House and Garden claims you only need a 3-5 day flush with these nutes.

Scrog looks Great!💪 4 of my 6 are Hermies ILGM have stable Genetics I'm not so sure about the batch I got. looking forward to more pics.

jamaljacksoncommented6 years ago

@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, man I would be bummed if any of these herm. 4/6 is rough, hopefully the next round is better.

Dedoncommentedweek 36 years ago

Yeah !! you have a Pi too 💪 you use only 3 GPIO, so i guess it's for temperature and humidity ? Good luck with the grow !

jamaljacksoncommented6 years ago

@Dedon, it is for temperature and humidity. The python script I'm running also controls some wemo smart switches to turn on my humidifier / heater when needed. I have everything sent to a Grafana dashboard for monitoring.

Nice result! I've been using your grow to monitor progress of mine. If I can do as well as you I'll be stoked.

DrewbieDoobieNoobiecommentedweek 166 years ago

Congrats on a bountiful harvest. they look great.

HerbalEducommentedweek 156 years ago

Awesome, grats 😎

Puffer_Billcommentedweek 146 years ago

Looking good and healthy. 💪🏽🤩👍🏼

Dedoncommentedweek 36 years ago

maybe i'm wrong ^^ i didn't see the weather station on your second pictures xD

jamaljacksoncommentedweek 36 years ago

Back left is really taking off, front right was a few days behind on the roots. Back right is about 5 days younger than the rest but is coming along nicely. I made a stupid mistake and didn't top feed the front left one enough and almost killed it. I've got roots coming through the bucket now and it's rebounding alright.
