Day 58: lowered my 500w T5 to 26"
Day 59: came home midday and the plants were WHILTED FROM THE TOP DOWN!!! Super bad!! Last time I saw this I had gnats and heat stress, I FREAKED!!!! OMG... but... the pots were light and soil was dry, they are drinking fast last 10 days, watered with RO water only over about 20 mins as to not shock it.. in 30 mins they were standing up and happy ( pics from 2 hrs after) man I was WORRIED!!
Day 61: didn't come home yesterday, came home on lunch break today and dam if those girls are not sagging and sad again... soil dry big time, watered for 8 seconds each pass and made 2 passes 5 mins apart... pretty sure that wasn't enough bull I'll give her some more just as lights on in the morning
Watered w my garden sprayer using:
sprayer 1 gal RO mix
1 ml Mammoth P
20 ml maxicrop liquid Seaweed
15 ml fossil fuel
5 ml ProTek
Splash of K-L-N
Ph 7.1 285ppm
Day62: as I figured pots were dry after lights on.. watered w my sprayer only one circle each but came back 8x hoping to give just a little water each pass and let the soil soak it up... probabally will transplant these soon..
Think I've decided to veg them up a few more weeks and try to get 60-70 clones off them and my pineapple to make a SOG
Day 65: showing some signs of overwatering but pots dry and light again.. gave 2 passes at 5seconds each w sprayer.. got run out fast... gonna have to transplant... gal ro mix.
30ml maxicrop liquid Seaweed
1ml mammoth p
1/2 scoop great white (maybe redundant now)
Ph 7.1 ppm200
@JUNGLE_B4RNS,
I started with LEDs due to being gifted an LED herb garden... it spiraled out of control from there hahah
I have tried MH/HPS , T5, and LED..
Can't control temps on HPS
Can't fit T5 in one of my tents
LEDs took a while to dial in..
Biggest problem is they don't scatter the light well, they are too focused like Grow Boss says..
If I were to purchase lights now..
I would go COB (if I understood it)
Or CMH.. I'm sure 2 315w CMH would yield what a 1k HPS would yield with 60% less heat and power... put them on a light mover and have a couple rows in a room... blowing up!!
:)
But that's a future build
Thanks for stoping by, always nice to hear from you, love your set up too!
@CaliGrown,
Yea I think that is called "real growers recharge"
It is the same basic product.. I've seen lots of ppl that use that product here..
like grow boss says "it's all the same shit" 😬
@Fun_Growin,yeah man you got the knowledge that I was hoping to get. Thank you! running recharge right now. Adding it to the feed lineup once every two weeks.
@CaliGrown,
Great white as far as I know is the most comprehensive microbiotic formula. Clone ex has a good one too and there are others..
I also use worm castings and granulated microriza in my soil mix and transplant holes
Microriza will increase yields 5-15% in any healthy garden, they also keep the roots clean and take less energy from the plant than they give, and as they die they become nutrients themselves (because they digest them)
If you add a sweet product or molasses to your grow, you are actually feeding these organisms not your plant your plants cannot take up glucose fructose and shoe sucrose (sugar) it can only make its own..
They cannot sustain their own population so you eather
A- have to help feed them
B- add them every 10-14 days
C- put in granulated and organic so they release and breakdown over time
Or do what I do and use a little of all that
Hope this helps
@@Tryhard,
Back at ya mad respect truly had nothing to do with you
I'm ashamed to say that pineapple was like 80-90 days old when put in flower for 73days..
It survived a lot,
Bugs from a failed DWC tent next to it, a week or more with no power but a small generator off and on and in took a lot of clones from her.
Now I'm working off of mothers and trying a couple SOGs
Hope fore more yield and also easier canopy management.
