Crown Royal - First Grow

I found that when it is in veg, it looked and behaved like an indica. But once you start to flower, yes, you would really think it was more sativa. The leaves thin out, extra stretch etc.
Same plants in veg...

What meter/pen/probe do you use? I'm having difficulty figuring out how you got to 2900 ppm with the recipe you listed on last page unless all that was mixed into a quart of water.

idk the cheap white ones on amazon.
i bet its cause of the terpinator at 25 mls per gallon thats hetting it so high
 
I bought a truncheon yesterday and was surprised to see that my base nutrients registered as 1100ppm in 1L of water.
 
I don't use Terpinator, but read the product label this morning and it says it will not burn your plants despite the high dosage. If you ever run into problems and need to ask the forum for help, I think you'll need to take readings of everything else prior to adding the Terp, but like I said, only in the event there is trouble.

I use Terpinator. 20ml/gal. Wonderful stuff. Never had a problem. Makes my trichs turn into little upside down teardrops instead of hammers.
 
Depending on exactly what you use, and the recommended order to mix, my brand has me adding in all my supplements first, then I take a reading. This number usually accounts for more than half of my desired PPM range for the plant(s) age. So whatever space is left till I reach that desired PPM range is what I have to fit my base nutes into. So if my desired range for next week were hypothetically 600ppm, after adding in my supplements first, my reading would generally be 400-450, leaving me roughly 150-200ppm left to fit my base nutes into. I can only presume other brands of synthetics are mixed the same way. FWIW, after nutting up on Terpinator for this thread, combined with how many others I see use it, combined with a childhood friend that moved to Co. and grows outdoors, he also told me 2 years ago that Terp is the only amendment he uses, I will be adding it into my regimen very soon, especially while currently watching my Bubblelicious struggle to produce trics equally on all her trillions of little bud sites. Skybound NEEDS dat!
 
alright guys so im getting a new 4x4 veg tent , 600 watt meizhi, carbon filters, fans , timers and stuff tomorrow.
Im gonna start 2 new grows in one tent, i have 4 seeds of crown royal left over and i have 5 seeds of mephisto genetics supernatural OG auto fems. I have them germinating ATM.
Im very excited to start them up , ill have a total of 3 harvests within august and September
if my timing is right , 9 weeks from flower would fall on the 2nd week of august on my current grow and the supernatural OGs are a 75 day strain so i would harvest those at the end of august . as far as the 2nd batch of CRs ,i could just veg them for 4 weeks and throw them into flower in the beginning of august .
A problem that i face ATM is that i read that on autos, id start them in my solo cup then go directly to the finishing pots which would be 5 gallon pots .that wouldn't leave me much room for the CRs with the autos being in such big buckets . id like to go from solo cups to 1 gallons, to 3 gallons to 5 gallons on the CRs . any suggestions anyone ?

Throw those autos in some 2 or 3 gal smart pots. Find ones that are taller as opposed to wider. It will still bring you huge plants. Check out LEDRF on 420 his current Grow was all autos in 2gal pots. He grew a 4 foot Walter white. This way you can have more room for the photos. By the time that the photos are getting really big your current crop will be done and then you have lots of room to finish out. Can't wait to see how that meizhi turns out for you. Was looking at a 1200 for my veg room as well.
Just a suggestion. Leave those seeds in paper towel inside a plastic bag then inside a paper bag. I use a small cardboard box and a cheap little heater from Walmart. Keep the temp in there about 80. After two days I bet they have kicked their shells. Then you don't have to plant under the medium. You just plant them with their true leaves sticking out. By the next day you will have a full set of true leaves. It works.

yea the meizhi lights are really cheap and seem to be working very well so far. i just bought a 600 for 157 on amazon.
thats a good idea with the smart pots but i think ill try to get away with 3 gallon square pots for the autos because the smart pots are like fabric and theres no drainage plates . i just feel like theyd get all lopsided and awkward after several waterings .ill have to check out ledrfs video and see what worked for him .
good idea on the germination method, i wouldnt even need a heater since its so hot n humid where i am .
but i like the idea , it saves time n energy.

flower day 20

That is a super price on the 600 I would have taken that too. The fabric pots don't flop at all. The best part of them is they air prune the roots back in when they reach the edge. If you end up with a ton of roots I have seen them grow out the pot and into the saucer below and start to feed hydro style on the runoff. I would have gone to the smartpots on this round but didn't have the room done and the ones I got are quite wide. I will order some taller ones for the next round and do a mix to see if there is a diff.

Plants are looking great. My leaves look exactly like yours. Have a super OG look to them. Some of mine are bigger than my hand. And I got some big hands. Fill in the gaps on those big colas and your gonna have a few arm sized buds there bud. Gonna live up to that name.
 
Today was a very busy day , i recieved my new tent, lights , fans, filters and ducting .
I have the tent up n running at the moment. i have my flower tent exhausting into my veg tent then its filtered once more and exhausted out the window. my whole house straight up reeked light buds but now that i have it filtered twice- i cant even smell it anymore .
I wonder if i should make a seperate journal for the 2nd grow ?
I noticed today that one of my plants (the finnicky one) had wind burn from my new high powered fan . the leaves were heavily damaged .
 
yea the stretched about 3 feet .
thanks timingman !
i was worried about the large feeding and im suprised i didnt murder them .
you gotta take chances once in awhile .
I have another grow started right now , in the seedling stage .
supernatural OG autos and more crown royales . check it out if ya want
