Devils Lettuce 3rd Indoor Grow - Breaking Bad Style - 4 Different Strains

[Sphnx]

For vegetative growth I would use a 18/6 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness lighting schedule. I read a study where lighting schedule versus root length was tested and plants grown under a 16/8 lighting schedule grew the longest roots, 18/6 was not tested. I was made aware of a study where lighting schedule versus growth was tested and plants given at least 5.5 hours of darkness grew the most.

I'm not arguing that study in the slightest bit possible. But if a plant is constantly photosynthesizing the roots are forced to grow, thus the more needed nutrients to support that growth. I've done my own experiments on this with little clear solo cups. I did this with seeds. The seedling under 24-0 had its roots wrapped around that cup 1 week earlier than the one under 18-6.


Maybe it was genetics that made that variable in the study you read. Maybe genetics had a part in my study. But as it stands more photosynthesis = better root systems. In my mind at least.

pic update

lemon kush is a beast .. shes budding already .

afghan kush X skunk

money maker. she so small compared to the others . hope now that i know the problem she will take off .. might be to late . its been a week and she hasn't dried up yet ..

here is my new beauty ..presenting Ms Jack widow

i was tired of waiting on the Hawaiian skunk haze so i put her out side . i needed the space . hopefully she can finish up before it gets to cold .. the low has been around 45F at night . im not growing her again she takes for evvvver..i pulled her clone from the veg room..

that makes room for my dark devil!!!!!

 

[Sphnx]

Great update man! The ladies are looking great as always +1 to ya

 

[devils letuce]

i striped the ladies naked a week and a half ago . u cant even tell.

raised her to 1300 ppm and as u can see no burnt leaves ...

thank's sphnx

i started with molasses this last feeding .

man im pushing so much stuff through these plants im going to have to get some flora kleen to help flush

their getting

flora series g,m,b
Floralicious Plus plus
cal-mag
liq kool bloom
kelp blast
sweet myco tea
mollases


i have Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching but i hate what it does to my ph ..

 

[Sphnx]

Yeah some nutes are just horrible on the pH.... Oh well they usually work great

 

[devils letuce]

does anyone on my journal use Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching and if so what do u do about the ph swing . the buffer makes it impossible to get the ph back in the right zone..

thank sphnx your like me always around here somewhere .

 

[Sphnx]

I don't use those exact nutes but I do use a few different things that drop the pH down to the 4.3 area. You just gotta use enough pH up to bring it back up. It will get back up to where you need it to be.

man that would take half a bottle of ph up lol .. i will use 3 ml and it moves .1 lol

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

I use awesomeblossoms by technaflora as bloom booster it contains humic and will raise the p.h.
I think the humic does it but idk.

 

[Sphnx]

man that would take half a bottle of ph up lol .. i will use 3 ml and it moves .1 lol

from pH 4.3 to 5.7 takes roughly 40mL in 2000ppm water. Unless there is a lot of molasses in there there holy shit it's horrible. 150+ mL's.

Great update Devil, I'm not sure about the checked pants tough

I've got some Plant Life Royal Black which is a humic mix & raises the ph loads, I've also got Advanced Nutrients Ancient Earth which is similar product, this hardly raises the ph at all. Both are 0-0-1

lol im in my relax and chill clothes at 1 a.m lol.. old navy pants with my white dc shoes ..

these fox farm additives have crazy npk to help pushing bigger buds

Open Sesame® Soluble Fertilizer (5-45-19) early flower
Beastie Bloomz® Soluble Fertilizer (0-50-30) Mid Flower
Cha Ching® Soluble Fertilizer (9-50-10)Late Flower . hmm why so much (n) in the final weeks?

 

[skunnymonster]

I'll let you off with the pants buddy, I was only messing

All flower boosters are based on high NPK from what I've seen, I've got one that's full of sulphur too & it stinks. I've just started using another that's phosphate & potash but that's supposed to stimulate another growth spurt.
I've never gone into the botanical side of things & have no idea what does what. I just buy nutes & use them with little knowledge of what is what. I have learnt that there's a lot of bs in the nutrient game, they all promise miracles yet the ingredients are pretty basic

just wanted to say, with my canna flores nutes, the ph drops to 4,3-4,5 too. I dont use ph up, i just water with that low ph stuff .. doing that for 3 weeks in flower now, and have absolutely no issues. i think ph is not so relevant in soil.

That's a really high N rating for the final weeks.... I'd use that in the mid weeks. 5 and 6 if it is a 8 week strain. It says that's a finisher? Straight up if you're up for trying this next time, try using the open sesame, cha ching, and beastie inline for the first 6 weeks, cutting out the Cha Ching by the end of week 6. Continue using the Beastie Bloomz, til week 7 then flush.


That is what I would personally do with those nutes if that means anything

 

[devils letuce]

update !! 71 days old 21 days in flower . no real issues or problems at all so far...

sphnxed up gh flora series feeding schedule

ph 6.5 to 6.7 i let it flucuate on pupose to see what if anything would happen.

i went from 400 ppm to 1000 then 1300 and this week 1600 im trying to let her show me whats to much so i can really push them next harvest . then im going to push the nexts plants in the veg cycle.

I took the Hawaiian skunk haze to my dads and put it in his garden outside to finish . she was taking so long and taking up so much damn room with over 50 sites budding . i dont wanna grow her again so im going to make a charlie brown Christmas tree out of her clone!

i changed my room up for optimal light coverage .

i had them under this yield master II

i felt like they they weren't getting enough light so i put them under this reflector with the 600w hung horizontally

all my plants are budding and pushing white pistols like crazy ..lemon kush the 3$ seed is by far the best plant ..after she was so weak looking and had her minor issues i planned on taking her out of the rotation for my next harvest and replacing her with the jack widow .. well she has changed that her plant in veg is about to be put in a 5 gl smart pot and prepped for greatness!!

lemon kush

afghan kush x skunk

strain hunters money maker

jack widow 3 weeks old

and here is all my plants that are in the veg room

 

[Sphnx]

If I remember right the Lemon Kush is a 9 week strain, slow in the beginning but a fast finisher in the end.

I like the Sphnx'd up feedings

Don't they grow quickly? So much food all they can do is grow lol

yea . i went with all 8 and 9 week plants on this grow. since i started then new feeding they have produced such think bud sites . u can already see the cola is going to be a good size ..gonna have to break out the bamboo .. now i wanna look into starting to push them in veg so by the time they get flipped they will like 4 fat bitches at an all u can eat buffet !!

also i started using a soil blast and a kelp blast and they love it . to keep up with the sphnxed feeding im going to have to buy nutes by the gl from now own ..

im using the flora series but im trying to decide if i wanna go to flora nova series of all fox farm .. im leaning towards fox farm .. input?

 

[Sphnx]

That a good line. Works best in coco though
