Howdy all you fine folks. Welcome to Week 5, Veg w/ Purple Star Killer. The Deets: The Good: -Despite some issues (same as GDPB) there was some very good growth and she's pushing super well. Foliage health and color seem to be coming back really well and the procedures I've implemented seem to have rectified most my problems. -Training and topping had gone very well, although she did take more time then the other girls to bounce back. In less then 12 hours she was visibly moving again, and her two new tops were pushing up and out. -Internode's are growing offset from one another, a good sign she's going into pre-flower. No pistils, and still a ways away from when I'd like to flip, but it's nice to see them moving along and ready to go when need be. The Bad: -Low pH and high PPM reads off my first feed w/ run-off. Didn't run enough through her so I planned her next feed/flush to adjust these numbers further. This application was today and these numbers have gotten far, far better. One more flush/feed and everything should be normalized and hopefully all symptoms she's showing start to pull back (none of these symptoms are really bad at all. Just noticeable and it can/needs to be fixed up). -I hate my camera, that's all. It sucks and the pictures I tried to take today made her look like poop! Hahaha. So I added one last one in where she's in the tent and her color is true. The 'Meh': -Minor symptoms due to the pH swing, that's all. I know what's going on and there seems to be a lack of P/K/Cal take up. With these new reads from my run-off today, I feel things have balanced out and these minor symptoms will halt. -Too much circulation... decommissioned a tower fan as wind-burn was popping up on PSK and GDPB. Oops! Happened last grow too😦. **First and Second Flush/Feed Results** May 5th, 1st Run-off Read: -5.2 pH and 3262 PPM -Ran 1.25 Gallons of nutrient feed w/ 25-20% run-off. Applied at 6.0pH and 240ppm May 10th, 2nd Run-off Read: -5.7/5.8pH and 1054 PPM (Good rise in pH and drop in PPM's) -Ran 1 gallon of straight Tap @ 6.5pH, followed up with 750mL of nutrient feed to replace what was taken with the flush. Notes of the Week: -Went back to basics for a bit as I was convoluting a lot of things for a bit. Trying to do and try too much at once. So I've pulled back on the tonne of new supplements/additives and went back to what I know until this pH swing and ppm's fall back into place. When things are on the up an up (hopefully after the procedure I just did today) I'll go back to my advanced schedule and new additives that I would like to use on the girls, for the remainder of this grow. -Tent parameters are actually very good right now and I haven't had to touch anything for awhile. Day/night temps and RH is pretty constant and if I hold these numbers, I'm positive they will continue to take it all in and thrive. -Tentatively planning the flip to flower already, as I feel this growth rate will be constant, as long as I keep up what I'm doing. Benchmark time will be b/t week 8-9 for the flip. Pretty much the same as Grow #2 but I will flip around a safer height @ around 18" tall. Second grow I triggered at 24" and this damn near screwed me over! Thanks all for coming on by and checking out the little one. She's doing pretty good and I'm happy she's alive and well👍. Thanks for all the support from some of my wonderful contacts, helping me determine my next move and some of the symptoms I was looking at. Things may not look this well if it weren't for this advice and why I keep asking for more if you have some to give. I'm open to constructive critism and if you see/feel somethings amiss, looking at these photos, drop me a please! Any advice, other then what I've already done, would/will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Have a great week ladies and gents, take care of you and yours and we shall see each other again, soon! Much love all. Cheers✊😊

@@@Alexa, Thanks so much man. It's been a slog so far, but the emergency transplant did the trick, looks like. This project won't be scrapped 👍. Still a little weak but growing quite well. I'm happy what I did worked cause the last 20 things didn't help, lol! I shall keep my head up if you do too👊. Solidarity brother. Happy trails this week🙂

Nice hints from your " Electric-Side"...….Thank you for pointing at this. I got to admit my Electric Installation is … aaaahm…...well i have to work on... that means mountingthe switches etc. I love your Electric Installation And the timers… i just hate them…….I hope for new invetion of Timers who are preinstalled for 3 times. Iam Fighting with those fogging Things every time. because there are too many Options to take. So i ended in having 12 h timers and 18 hour timers^^
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarcommented5 years ago
@JinksyGrows, yes that would be nice to have preinstalled Timers who just went on every day on the time you want to, just in pushing one switch- I know its manageable because My HAZELBOX, does it like this - I got 4 buttons, one is On off, one is 18 hours weaker Vegetation light, one is 18 hours strronger Vegetation light, and one is fow flower 12/12 No more needs. but if i want i can change programm in lightning and hours, but i never didi. Its just so easy... and thats what i whish from a timer. 4 buttons and done Oh yes pls tell us alittle about electric installation.... id love it
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented5 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, Wouldn't it be nice to have a normal, well built timer just for the times we use? No screwing around? Haha. I'll hit the drawing board😅. You want 20/4, 18/6 and 12/12? Haha, I'll actually look into it. And hey, as long as your operation is safe, it doesn't have to look nice. Safety over looks is totally okay👍. With the response I received on that little electrical tip, I may add more in the coming weeks. Just little things like cable management, inline motor controls and how to set them up...? We'll see! Cheers Mrs_Larimar and thanks for stopping by. Happy trails with the girls this week. I'll be popping over to your page to check out all the happening's😉👊

Maybe try a finisher like overdrive or swell you might get that fast build in the last 3 weeks your looking for. You may already be using something similar as I'm not familiar with liquid weight or diamond nector but I can't recommend swell or overdrive enough they double weight in the last 3 weeks.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented4 years ago
@ROM101, Howdy ROM! Yah buddy, not sure what exactly is going on, but I do use liquid weight by Green Planet. It seems to be bumping up trich production but not really firming up the buds, as advertised. I also have "dense" from Green Planet, but I'm a little afraid to use it😅. Potent stuff man. That being said, I'm going to apply it for the final week/two weeks and see if it helps. I needed to start it 1-2 weeks ago...but it's worth a shot and I feel I got nothing to loose. Thanks for the advice my friend👍. I'm really trying to unlock the potential in these last week's, but hey, it is what it is🙂.

Hello buddy.. Hope you are well.. I wud personally get another sf2000.. Starting wit 2 on dim at 50% will b same par wot ur getting now but wider spread.. U getting great results of 1 so imagine wen u crank both them bad boys up 100% in flowering.. Since putting 2 sf600 over my 600w hps ive noticed a positive difference in yeild and resin.. And remains cooler than cranking up hps to 660w..great lights.. I do like the mars hydro sp range tho.. These wud b my go-to lights from now on.. A couple of these added are great additions to any grow in my opinion.. Stay safe n gud luck on ur huge selection of lights atm.. Great times for us growers.. 👍🍀

@Jef79, I pm'd you! Thanks man! You put a bug in my ear now about the two SF-600's. If I can get away with two of those instead of two 1000's, I certainly will! Thanks again for your two cents man👍. Appreciated😀

@Med_in_Tropic, Sigh* Ain't that the truth. They've done a lot of damage. It will take time to crush reefer madness, but hopefully sooner then later. Trust me, I will not tire of pushing the good word and I probably annoy a lot of people in the process 😅. I can happily say that I consult older people (mostly) on cannabis, that grew up in the reefer madness era. They're starting to get wise that they were lied too... That there is nothing wrong with cannabis and the proof is all around them. I'll go for coffee with them, educate them on the nuance, the uses, the past fears, side affects, etc... 75% of the time, they go for it and haven't looked back. Bye bye to the opiodes and benzo dependency, hello CBD and a healthier way of living👍(I was on those prescriptions too, for a looong time). I feel good everytime I take money out of big Pharma's pocket. F@$k em. Another long response 😅. Sorry! If you can get it for dirt cheap (and it should be) absolutely go for it👍. I had no idea it was in concrete, haha. But it makes sense as a bonding agent(?). Neat!

Med_in_Tropiccommented4 years ago
@JinksyGrows, it will takes a while to undo generations of brain washing. Please don't get too tired of saying about the benefit of legalization. Potassium silicate is used at work to harden concrete. Cost is under two dollars per kilo. Dosage is probalby a gram per liter. I think I'll ask a friend to get me 100 grams or so to try on some extra clones.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented4 years ago
@Med_in_Tropic, Thanks man. It was a really ugly raining day where I am but that didn't stop me from going out and smoking one with some buddies! Really, really hope the rest of the world is watching and sees that NOTHING bad happened when we legalized, that there's lots of tax revenue available, hospital visits related to opiodes and alcohol are down, intoxicated drving is way down, violence at bars is down.... and on and on. It's time to legalize. Objective proof that cannabis is a positive force, not a negative one, is evident and I really hope the world's governments wake up and end this farse. Smoking freely yesterday made me sad for all the people on here growing in the shadows for fear of consequences and/or jail time. It's saddening and the fear needs to stop😞. (oop! short unexpected rant, haha!) And potassium silicate was recommend to me by @Mrs_Larimar about half way through my second grow. It's simply a soluble source of potassium and silicon and has worked very well for me and the girls by helping shore up cell walls and giving them strength to carry their flower weight. There are powder versions but it's extremely unhealthy to accidentally inhale it. It's pure earth sediment/silicate and can cause serious lung issues, lol. NOPE😐! I went with a liquid version by Emerald Harvest that has proven to work really well👍. That being said, you could easily get away with a cheaper product like Gaia Green, that carries it's own version that's waaaay cheaper w/ a much larger amount. I'll keep posting about it as I'm hoping to see some more rigidity with it's use to the end of flower, too👍. Cheers man! sorry for the long ass response, haha!
