So my new Mars Hydro FC-E1500 is here. Swaped the very old MarsHydro LED in the middle. Gave them a little bit more CalMag and for the 1st Wedding Cake Bio Grow. Very minimal trimming. I noticed that the leafs from the 2nd Wedding Cake are glossy like. I think it could be too much nitrogen. Stoped giving her Bio Grow 1 week ago.
Thanks for all the answers, i will flush both the weddingcakes out and see how they react. Also measuring the run off EC and PH and also soil PH.

I like this community already 😁 you guys gave me such good answers to my grow question. So I measured soil PH roughly between 7 and 7,5 so alkaline. Not good. I flushed with Phed water 5,3 and measured PH of runoff at 6,6 and ppm at 1480 . Repeated, measured runoff PH 6,3 ; ppm 1210. Repeat, but with PHed 5,0 water, runoff PH 5,9 ppm 1010. Stoped. 1st WddngCake took 3 flushes with total of 30 l of water.
2nd Wddncake got a flush with 25 l of water at the end runoff PH aprox 5,9 ppm 990 . Gave them both Nematodes because i saw a reduction in fungus gnats that is good. Almost none flying around. Fingers crossed. 😊

Aprox. 24h from "The Big Flush" 😁 and they seem to be happier. Temp in tent 23 C and RH 44% - 48% . Also added a few photos of them after the flush.

Aprox. 48h after flush. They are doing very good. 1st WddngCake shows off more of her colors with splashes on the calyxes and sugar leafs. 2nd WddngCake stands tall and bulks the buds up. I also noticed that Pheno 1 WddnCake has a fruitty creamy like sweat smell and the 2nd Pheno ,the tall girl, reminds me of a tropical IPA, fruity , fresh and pungent like cousin hops. Also the end of this week, today, looking forward at the week ahead. In the tent 22 C at the moment with 50% RH because i let the mars hydro ventilators off for the day. they are back on now.
My first Wedding Cake still shows signs of CalMag deff and I don't know why. Already giving her 10 ml BioBizz CalMag to 3,5l water, way more then the recommended amount for deff and adjusted water PH at 6.3. Has anyone got any Ideea?
Zu viel CalMag ist nicht gut.
Die Elemente Calcium und Magnesium zählen zu den positiv geladenen Kationen - ebenso wie der besonders wichtige Nährstoff Kalium.
Nun kann es passieren, dass diese 3 Kationen sich gegenseitig in der Aufnahme blockieren, wenn sie im falschen Verhältnis zueinander stehen.
Aus diesem Grund ist es sehr wichtig, dass man die Maximaldosis bei CalMag nicht überschreitet, da sonst die Aufnahme von Kalium blockiert werden kann. Im Resultat hat man dann einen Mangel, der kein echter Mangel ist, sondern eine Nährstoffblockade, die durch einen Überschuss entsteht.
Messe den Ph wert und auch Ec wert von deinem Runoff der sollte zwischen 5.8 und 6.5 sein und der ec wert nicht über 1.8 bis 2
Just wanted to ask an opinion 😄 Would you consider my 1st Wddng Cake Auto to be ready? Or it is now the harvest window open? I will leave it a few more days of them 2 darkness 😁 I want to see a little amber😍 Thank you very much for making me feel welcomed in this community😀
After looking at your diary, you still have 10-14 days to go at least, it is still too early to harvest.
Once there are 98-99% brown pistils/hairs, you will be entering the harvest window...........you still have many, many white pistils and mainly clear trichomes that I can see, meaning you still have much ripening to occur............post this question again once you get to that 98-99% brown pistil stage.
2 days of darkness is ghetto science, there is no need to do it...........it is an urban myth with no scientific or biological basis!
I harvest based on if the strain is Indica, Sativa, or a Balanced hybrid.
When the bulbous heads of the trichomes are fully developed but still translucent, plants will produce a "high" and stimulanting effect, less sedative. It is the perfect moment to harvest strong Indica strains.
When these bulbous heads turn milky is probably the best moment to harvest most available hybrids.
When 70% of these trichome heads are milky and 30% amber, it is the perfect time to harvest mostly Sativa hybrids and long flowering strains (like Haze).
@mrki420, thanks 😊✌️ indeed it is a great lamp😁 let it serve you well also😁
About the grow, i know. I didn't have enough patience to wait until all my gear arrived so I started with the weddingcakes😅
I also combined lights that i already had with the new mars hydro and UV and IR from the cosmorrows. I can't wait to see how they turn up.
@Gram_Solo, Thx🙏🙏 the smaller one should be the first to finish.
Also 2 different Phenos😍 the small one smells skunky orange citrusy and the big one is like a hoppy creamy tropical IPA beer.
As I am writing this my mouth waters just thinking about it 🤤🤤🤤😂😂
@NoVC01, thank you very much🙏.
I tried to reach to you in the chat. I don't know if you noticed 😁
Updates will come a soon as support helps me because I have a problem where every time I try and save an update it says Error.😟
