Day 86: transplanted into 5 gal smart pots in FF strawberry fields amended with worm castings & microriza, layer of hydro ton on the bottom
Ro water pre mix soil and watered In with RO MIX
1/2 scoop great white
5 ml myco Chum
5 ml ProTek
5 ml KLN
1ml superthrive
Fox Farms strawberry fields amended with worm castings and microriza
Ppm 285 ph 5.3
Day 88: didn't have time to finish my project so...
Lollipoped and toped today, took 6 auo flowers out of the tent, removed the 400w T5 30" away for 400w LED 46" away, put the 4 plants to the center, the 6 plants on the outside are superskunk (see that diary too)
Will veg with this light for 6-10 days and flip to flower soon.
I've never veged a plant this long, or slow, or one toped so much, these were really just going to be mothers.. Thanks for stoping by. Always welcome to feedback and input
@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.
