Hey PC, looking great. I can give you some help on the egg shells because I make my own eggshell powder for use in my homemade organic dog food. I wash the egg shells in hot water(have read some people boil them) then I bake them to both dry them & kill any nasty stuff like bacteria. I bake them at 325 for about 7minutes then flip them & turn oven off & let them sit in oven while it cools down. They will stink if you over bake them.I have also read some people nuke gem to kill the nasty stuff. After they are dried, I put them in a coffee grinder to make powder. I would think since you are using them with plants just crushing them will suffice, when using it in dog food you to make it powder because crushed even really small it can have sharp edges & cut up a dog inside whereas in plants that isn't a concern. Not sure about plants but as a food supplement, it doesn't take much, however, I did a google search for egg shell powder in gardening & there was a 11 minute video on YouTube popped up in which they were proclaiming to tell you everything you need to know on esp for garden use. I didn't watch it cause ofthe late hour but it might be helpful. Keep up the great work & bummed about the Tigers:sorry:

:thanks: GrowinPains! I'll try to get some time to look up that video this week. I don't have any trouble with getting it to powder form if need be. But I think, as you stated, it will be okay crushed for soil purposes.
Tigers....{{SIGH}}...was really hoping this would be the year. Ah well...another season has come and gone. LOL
Take care

I did some more tucking this morning. I'm getting better at it, was always afraid of breaking one of the tops.
It concerns me when doing this that as you tuck the tops under, they are away from the light now and sort of scrunched under...won't this keep them from getting enough light?
I hope that makes sense.
Also, the yellow leaves is the same plant. So based on the information from last night, I'm thinking this one needs a bit more on the nutes.
It might be time to increase the nutes on all them now? They've been at 1/2 strength for 3 feedings now.
 
re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

I would probably leave your nutes the way you have it until the stretch is over (3 weeks or so) then jack them up to anywhere from 600-800 ppm's depending on what kind of water you're using and how hot it might already be. Put your lights like 4" above the net and just raise them as needed. Until you're done tucking, shouldn't need to move them at all. I'd stop tucking after two weeks since the flip and then start raising the lights probably an inch or so a day depending on how fast the tops start continuing the march skyward; at 3 weeks or so after the flip, start getting rid of the growth below the screen and that should match about the time of slightly increasing the nutes. Jack them up again in about 2 more weeks to 900-1000 ppm's, give it a few days and start removing some of the bigger leaves here and there along the stalks that are blocking light. Go another couple weeks, kill the nutes and go with straight water, wait a week, flush-dry-chop-trim-hang-dry-jar-smoke and take a nap...job finally done!

Hey Jamthe3:ciao:

I love that ...jar-smoke and take a nap part. It's all the stuff before that which gets me dizzy. LOL
Very informative!... and I can probably follow that line by line until I"m done with my grow. Thank you!
Good deal on what you said with the lights, currently they are about 5" above the highest part of the plants. I had them a little lower and it got too hot when I put my hand under there for any length of time. The schedule you stated sounds very good!
I do feel this ONE plant does need extra nutes. It continues to yellow top and bottom as if it needs some nitrogen or cal/mag or something. I'm going to try a stronger mix on her with the next feeding and see if makes a difference. Not too much, but a bit more than the rest of them.
Thanks again!
Do you have a grow going or a journal? Would love to see what you have going on in your corner of the growers' world. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Not psychic, just ever vigilant, one of the most active members for sure.

Lol, more like a general outline; I've never grown WW but seem to recall it finishes in 8-9 weeks...although under flouros I'd expect atleast 9, they don't have alot of penetrating power on their lighting. That, with the combination of flipping to flowering are more than likely the cause of your yellowing. Its natural to an extent no matter what lighting you're using to see some lower yellowing on older growth when you flip the switch. Only real cure is to give it a shot of nitrogen which is usually not the best solution imho, especially under flouros. You'll be fighting hard enough as it is to keep the buds dense and not fluffy/airy. Don't remember the wattage of your bulbs, if they're bigger ones I imagine it quite possibly would need to be another inch higher. You might consider getting some sort of bud hardener to start using about week 4 into flower btw, its not that expensive.

If I can borrow a dig camera I'll try to get some pics for you. I'd love for you to see how I LST, you'd trip out at the design of the trunk I shape. I literally make U-turns and tie my growth down horizontally just above the now spiralling, horizontal trunk...SCROG w/o a screen lol. I currently have 2 blue rhinos in flower, 1 sativa something about to go into flower and 2 sativa somethings in veg with a Vanilla Kush and an 8 Ball Kush hopefully soon to crack ground...although I think the seeds were for **** so I'm not overally hopeful.

I saw this video on GreatLife4all's thread, I thought it was too cute to pass up and gives us really clear examples of trichomes:

Thank you so much for all the information Jamthe3! I will speak to my hydro shop about bud hardener and see what they have. Would that be what "Bud Candy" is? I've seen that there.
I am seriously hoping that my next grow will be with better lighting than the CFL's, it's all going to depend on the budget...if there is a budget. LOL I agree on the penetration power, they do not compare to other grow lighting for sure. I am not expecting big fat bazonga type buds on my first grow, but would like to be able to be happy that I produced decent ones. ;-)
I would absolutely LOVE to see some pics of your LST techniques, as I'm sure everyone else would too. You can post them here if you like, if you don't have a page or journal up. Whatever works best for you, but I would love to see them.
Thanks again, have a great evening/day wherever you are. :high-five:

Oops, forgot something gang. I got my new grow pots in the mail. 5 gallon black and white poly grow bags. These are going to work out great and they were down right affordable! I believe it was under $15.00 for 25 of them with free shipping.:yahoo:
 
re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

damn thats a great price, i could do with finding something like that where i am,

Hit on ebay, DP. Just type in poly grow bags and you'll find lots of sellers. There's places online too, but ebay sellers with the free shipping is great.
 
re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

Just test out the stronger nutes on the mutty, she can take it! I am sending her a bunch of good vibes right now with my psychic powers. See how her leaves just clapped, then she started dancing?
