You're really doing some interesting and amazing work these days Hashhound.I am currently trying a 2 gallon torture test with 7th run soil.watering a bit more often than I normally do in the 7's
Black Cream Auto is 8 weeks from seed pre trimmed for harvest soon. She is way blacker then the pics show.
and the Northern Light is 1 week in flower, also 2 gal 7th run. The white topping is Growstone, supposed to deter the gnats, so far so good.
LSTed her today
Hey Tard I am following your current grow and have read your others. I'm not sure how I missed that you were using GLR but you definitely get great results. Do you use your main lights for the hour on period in the middle of the dark period? The write ups I read suggested using a secondary light to reduce wear on people's main ballasts but I'm not sure that applies with leds. Thanks for the response TardHey Yeti, my last 2 grows I used glr. Check em out and that should tell you a lot about how I feel about the subject bro

Ya HID ballasts do seem to be touchy and firing a bulb twice as often does seem like it would finish the expected life of them. I would love to run leds but the initial cost isn't something I am able to cover right now. Especially with how many I would need to replace my HIDs.During veg I did use my main lights but only with the veg switches on. Ive been using the one 450 for a couple of years now and it seems no worse for wear.. I could see how it'd be a bad idea with a HID set up tho. Seems those ballasts are sensitive lil buggers. Might have the same effect on a t5 rig id I'd think.
Thank you for adding your experience. Diminished time for flower to onset is supposed to be one reason but one of the articles focused on improved plant health. The article stated that 18/6 is actually stressful for begging plants and that it could be one cause of clones losing vigor from generation to generation. This would be due to over saturation of light. The article ally focus on how allowing the plants more time to rest boosted health and allowed roots to grow at a greater pace thus allowing for shorter veg times. It encouraged ppl to use 16/8 or even 14/10 to veg if they didn't use GLR.
Hi all. I am having a little trouble with my Train Wreck. I have been trying to follow the kit direction exactly. ALL my other girls are doing GREAT. It is just this one. She is in veg in a 1 gal pot at the moment. She is in first run soil. Soil in on insulated pallet with space heater in basement. She is do for a drench today. Her last drench was a rescue. Any suggestions? Everyone else is thriving!!! The TW is the one in front. Thanks.

Hey guys,
It's been a long time since I've checked in, lots of catching up to do.
I've been having some issues with the c'99 strain on the last few plants from week 3 till harvest. Usually start getting slightly taco'd leaves and then they start fading and curling up, becoming really yellow and leaves falling off by harvest time. My other strains don't do this.
My feed schedule is pretty much the same as shown here:
Baseline Feed Schedule (per plant)
- 1 Gallon Seedling -
.2 ml Transplant / 1100 ml water
Until you get 5 sets of leaves.
*Let medium go completely dry between waterings.
- 1 Gallon Veg w/ Drenches and Foliars -
Alternate between:
1 mL Growth Energy + 0.1 mL Tea + .2 ml Transplant / 1100 ml water
-
.2 ml Transplant /1100 ml water
Foliar (On different days):
Brix every 7 days (1 ml Brix / 30 ml water)
De-Stress every 10 days (.5 ml De-Stress / 30 ml water)
*Let medium go completely dry between waterings.
- 1-7 Gallon Upcanning -
Moisten new medium with 1/2 oz Transplant / 1 gallon of water
- 7 Gallon Veg -
Alternate between:
5.0 ml Growth Energy + 0.5 ml Tea + 1.4 ml Transplant / 6000 ml water
-
1.4 ml Transplant / 6000 ml water
Foliar (On different days):
Brix every 7 days (1 ml Brix / 30 ml water)

*Switch to flowering
- 7-10 Gallon Upcanning -

- 10 Gallon Early Bloom Stretch -
Alternate between:
10 ml Growth Energy + 1 ml Tea + 2 ml Transplant / 8500 ml water
-
2 ml Transplant / 8500 ml water
-
12 ml Transplant + 1 ml Tea / 8500 ml water

Foliar (On different days):
Brix every 7 days (2 ml Brix / 60 ml water)
De-Stress every 10 days (1 ml De-Stress / 60 ml water)
* For the first 4 weeks of bloom, water just enough to keep the medium moist, not wet. After about 4 weeks of this the roots are circling the bottom of the container and you can afford to give them a good soaking.
* 3 weeks after light period switch scratch Recharge into medium surface. Water.

Do i need to add Epsom's? Top dress with castings? Any tips?
Which breeder's c-99 are you growing? Mine was from Female seeds, and I got 4oz and I not using the kit to it's fullest. I just flipped the latest clone, and I have been following kit instructions to a T with her and she is looking even better then the last.
