The tent is beginning to take off! This week we will be reducing N a bit since the plants are beginning to show that dark green color that precedes excess, so I cut the N in half and will see how they all look through this coming week. Bloom and Big Bud were both increased to 6ml/gal and I upped the Cal Mag to 4ml as well since they are stretching and budding very nicely. I'll begin to introduce HP2 toward the end of this week (~7/25) and taper off the Big Bud to 2ml where it will remain until week 8, I think.
GDP #3, 4 &5 are starting to chug water like a hungover frat kid, so I've had to increase watering to about 1/2 gallon every day, or a full gallon every 2-3.
Update 7/23, added 2 ml of Earth Juice Micro.
With ~26ml of nutes (~20ml if you don't count Ancient Amber which may as well not have a TDS), the final TDS is around 400, which seems super low, especially during the stretch. Even so the girls aren't showing any sign of deficiency. I know organic tends on the lower side of nute application, but I regularly see growers in the 1000s with super soil too, plus my soil isn't all that hot in the first place. Any thoughts?
7/22/19- got sick of potatoe quality images and got a new camera. The amount they have grown in two days is sorta astounding. I think I may also end up flushing GDP2, she's starting to show some clawing and general N burn.
The main tent runs 9am-9pm. When I got home at 1pm the light was out. I assume it never started this morning. They are now under LED.
Will they hermie?
Whats wrong with my ballast/light?
Hey no the light being out for half a day wont make them hermie. It usually takes more stress than that. I wouldnt worry about that. And as far as your light I would assume the bulb went out depending on the age of your equipment. You can usually see the burned element. You can check the light socket with a cheap volt meter but I wouldnt advise it unless you are experienced with electricity. Hope this helps.
Looking good ! I am also growing GDP clones mine are outside in 3 gallon pots with coco coir and perlite.
Can't wait to see how your's come out happy growing!!!👍
As of 8/9 I retried the HID and ballast which struck successfully, twice in a row. So now its back in the main tent, but I'm leaving and LED in there just in case.
Temp tents with LEDs absolutely plummeted, this morning with lights on I was looking at 61, compared to the standard 85 I'm used too.
I really need to save up and transition fully to LED.
