Hello all,
Pretty static so far going into Week 4 of flower. Hoping the stretch has stopped. Strawberry Lemonade and Pink Kush #1 went to battle for height at the front of the tent with Pink Kush #2 throwing out a Lanki Boi out of nowhere to be the tallest branch in the house!!! Funnily Enough, the back of the tent, even though the light was very central in the tent stayed relatively stretch free, just the mid section under the bulb went balls to the wall...maybe I was too close but thought the lower light at the back would make them come up looking more? Dunno...could be something with the parabolic throw.
Only change this week, apart from concentrations, is I added Sumo Active Boost as no longer Nitrozyme spraying with flowers there. Don't know if its needed with Pure Blend Tea but hope it can do no harm...apparently it helps with the uptake of P & K so lets see. Didn't add PK Warrior 9/18 as I didnt like what it did to my water last time making it incredibly acidic (Like a drop from pH 6 to 4.7 overnight) so leaving it out as don't know/don't think i should need it with the levels I am using of Kind bloom.
Apart from that, general tidy up and letting it all tick over.
Happy Growing all.
** Update ** - trying a flush. Not pure tap water but close. Added 60ml pure blend tea, 50ml active boost, 50ml fulvic and 50ml Sensizym to a 50L tank. Probs add 5ml ATA Clean just to start to cleaning process too. Last days now!!! :)
@Ferenc, It was very good for the veg stage, I have to say. The Wedding Cake that went into it native has been as strong as an ox. No issues, not even a stretch with massive leaves...the Pink Kush and Strawberry Lemonade did go 18/6 for a week or 2 before I went 6/2 for heat management (I will do all grows going forward 6/2 btw) and they were stretchy on the flip.
@@hillman, Dude, no joke...pre-planned it 3 months in advance before I had even bought the nutes. I was pretty spot on with the numbers (give or take maybe 1-2 ml for ease. This week should have been Base 80, Grow 32 and Bloom 64 but the round down and up on the grow/bloom just a bit easier hitting the number in the grad cylinders!!!) and hitting the EC's i expected. Have an excel calc made up for the kind range now myself! :) and happy to see they are growing well and are showing no signs of burn or deficiency from the plan!
Tank change tonight...they drinking at least 5L a day now the 4 of them so this is the highest EC they receive this week (unless I go against what I was thinking of doing and adding a PK9/18 booster in on week 4 which will spike them up some more).
@GMSgrows, Using a Torus Hydro in the tank...I set it to 6 and it auto swings the pH between 5.8 to 6.2 so as the plant can get what it needs as it needs it. Dont know if I should go with the very light feed plan this coming thursday (Still have this weeks stuff to upload, about to do it now) or go with the Shogun Dragon Force. 2-3 of the plants flowers hairs have all contracted and looking like on the last stage of ripening while the Strawberry Lemonade still got some white hairy flowers!
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
Please feel free to check out/show love on some of my recent grows (Tropicana cookiez/Venom OG/Banana Mango )
Also… I have a lots of growing tips on my profile page (comments section)
Edit - Added PK Warrior in the end, but very little compared to recommended...added at 0.2ml/L as opposed to the 0.5-1ml/L (1ml/L usually used the 1st week [week 4] and then 0.5 for the following 3 weeks).
