plant is growing strong and healthy however I can't seem to get away from some of the leaves looking like they have a deficiency. It would seems to have been this way since mid veg when I tested the water runoff and it was at 5000 PPM I only noticed because the new growth tips we're looking burnt. And the plant never fully recovered it would seem. also im using a 3x3x72 tent so ya its a big plant
- update watered the plant today ( day 32 of bloom aka day 91 ) and run off was down to 1000 ppm looking good for the sweet zone used 1 ml grow, 3 ml, micro 5 ml bloom, 4 ml cal mag and 1 tsp of Epsom salts. as i am getting close to the end i stopped using silicate as it will take longer to flush out for harvest
- update day 92 ( 33 of bloom ) cola hairs beginning to turn amber only 1 or 2 each so i would say 2 to 3 more weeks till harvest
day 93 ( 34 of bloom ) so yesterday i watered the plant and dropped the silicate out of the mix over all plant health looks great. i am starting to get some orange hairs 1 or 2 per cola so im in the end game now 2 or three weeks till harvest. i may do one more feeding then all flush till the end.
- update day 94 ( 35 of bloom ) i am going to go into flush i think as i am seeing more and more orange hairs and i don't want to start late.
Update had to harvest early because of pollen sacs
had to harvest a bit early as it looks like it turned hermy on me .... hope the clones dont do the same
update- Turns out I harvested a little early for nothing but it's not a huge deal seeing as it was in flush anyway.
Update- today is Sunday it's been 3 days in the drying period and I came to the conclusion at the buds had so much resin on them that if I did not remove the leaves it would be exceedingly difficult to do so in a couple days I'm not sure what the updated weight would be
update - here we have it ladies and gentlemen finish the Harvest putting them into cure now I pulled a tiny butt off and had a small hit and I must say it feels nice and a very little bit got me quite High. I'd say the high feels more in the frontal cortex of my mind
5000 is WAY too high. You need to be down near 700. I have some AP beans, but held back from growing them and glad I did. I seek a great yielder, but also extremely resinous.
I blog on 420 magazine, but unfortunately their server seems to be down. When it's back up, I suggest finding my thread there titled "How to use Hydro Buddy and Mix Nutes". I used GH 3 part for years and always saw leaf damage, but never really knew how to remedy that. I now mix my own nutes from salts and every element right down to the trace elements are intentionally targeted to produce the most favorable result. Each strain has slightly different needs, so when growing new strains, I quickly learn which adjustments need to be made and make them. I now grow perfect cannabis. Well, let me more accurately state that, I now grow with perfect nutrients so the plant can produce the best possible results.
@The_Bearded_Grower, yes, but more than just the blanket answer regarding TDS which measures how much salt is in the water, it is more important to be within ideal ranges of every element. At higher concentrations of everything, the user is much more likely to encounter lockouts which always express themselves as deficiencies, so instead of correcting the feed to account for giving too much of "A", the user is ramping up the "B" to account for a non-existent deficiency.
Here is a tutorial I made about creating your own nutrient solution so to better understand the concentration of any one element. My personal aim as a grower is to produce absolutely perfect leaves and branches. I believe I am about 95% there. When I mix my own personal custom regimen, it settles to about 750 TDS, but more importantly, I guarantee the range of every element in my feed. I don't want to overdrive the plants, I just give them what they need for each growth stage and they do all of the magic.

i thinks maybe i shout use something like big bud in bloom next time the buds do seem smaller then i thought they would be but for my first time i think its going good
