Week 3 Veg
Still a happy, healthy girl.
Base nutrients were increased and changed to 3-2-1 (G-M-B). Cal-Mag was also increased slightly. Silicon has been added to the mix, along with a drop of Honey, little bit of molasses and some Epsom Salts. For those new to mixing synthetic nutes; It's important to add all of these in the correct order to ensure they all mix together and dilute properly without binding with each other, causing them to be locked out and instantly turn to salt.
I always start with silicon as it's the most difficult to mix. Next is Cal-Mag as this is also hard to mix in well. Then the base nutrients, starting with Micro, then Grow, then Bloom. Afterwards, I add in the sugars. And lastly the Epsom Salts.
The next step for this girl is to be transplanted and topped, which you'll see in the next update βοΈ
Thanks for following! πΊ
@LordPekers, do you mean my nutrients? All nutes get mixed into one and then feed to the girls. All measurements are listed above for you too mate βοΈπΊ
@Teamdirtbag2, yes I think if I was to get another ceramic it would have to be the DE 630w. But for now I'm going to upgrade to a standard 600w HPS as there's still a lot going on, with the new 600w Ceramic HPS etc. I'll wait until they're cheaper are more readily available haha πΊ
@TheFoxFarmer, that's kind of what I thought. The double is supposed to be equivalent to a 600 hps. I think it's the 615 or something like that. But seems expensive. I haven't found anyone using it.
@Teamdirtbag2, I understand what you mean and in all honesty I don't believe either way is wrong (as long as explained). I wouldn't run only one plant under the one light, otherwise she'd be 4x the size she is/was. This is why i think this is the best way for me to work out the average for the full enviroment. My Apologies, I have no problem being asked anything, I just can't stand sarcastic questions.
In regards to the 315w CMH vs 250w HPS I still haven't came to a conclusion in all honesty. The CMH is slightly cooler than the HPS but it's harder work to get the same weight. There's a lot more defoliation involved to get it to penetrate enough. The full spectrum of the CMH gives the girls more stunning winter colours too throughout flush, but that's about it. I expected more from the 315 but I'm keeping it in until I get a 600w HPS πΊ
@biggreens420, cookies isn't the best yeilder but when given a proper run this girl scout crack can definitely produce some πͺπ my first run with her wasn't at her full potential but my second girl which is in flower atm has been topped a lot more than any other plant I've grown in there! π we'll see! Lol πΊ
Awesome harvest as usual and I really need to get one of them bins or make one like you did the frost on them buds is wicked gonna have to give it a try wicked job that's how I calculate my grows also lol
@biggreens420, cheers Big G βοΈ check out Skunk Sifters on IG mate, I think I'll just start trimming directly ontop of those as soon as they're available π I like to stand up so a big screen will make it a lot easier. Nice one, it's the only way to get proper figures if running other plants lol πβοΈπΊ
