Will be watching if ya don't mind gov.

Sure man. Only rule here is be nice.

I'm putting together an update for tomorrow, but have been up to my ears in alligators last few days, and with only 11 hours to get in there it's been tough to do anything more than tend to their occasional needs. In fact they were drooping more today than I thought they should and then realized it's been a couple days since I drenched them last. So, I bubbled 2 gallons of water with 10ML transplant and watered them all just as lights were going out today. I gave them a good energy drench 3 days ago. They'll be standing and happy in the morning and it'll be 10 days since flip. I have to remember they're building up the energy to make flowers and will drink more since I don't want it getting as dry as it did in the veg cycle.

I'll try to have some pics tomorrow.

Yeah, its been a minute since we've had a looksie Gov!

 

[Governmentchz]

Hey, Hey! I have an update for today!

The high brix plants are doing really well. The big plants are taking about a gallon every other day, and I'll put a pint in each of the small ones then too. They all got a good watering yesterday and I've been doing the 1/4 strength transplant with each watering too. 2 of the clones are getting a colloidal silver treatment daily and after 1 week of that, aren't showing signs yet.

The hempy 8bk is doing well too and gets her final full feeding tomorrow before starting a week-long flush (3 waterings) that should culminate in her harvest. She's got loads of cloudy trichs, but no amber yet. According to the breeder, mid-week should put her at term so the timing looks good right now.

Anyway, I tried to group the pictures for some semblance of order...

I had a pile of pics...Sorry if any get posted twice.

Govt, looking awesome! Some leaves appear to have what a couple of my plants have... Venus fly trappy leaves..actually the serrations with mine. Doc recommended a dose of Epsom salt.. I gave those showing the light Mg deficiency a teaspoon of epsom salt in 1/2 gal H20 one time so far. They seem to be responding already. Thank you, Doc!

 

[thx 1138]

Gov -
are you going full cycle under 3 P300's?

Thx Zig. Not sure if the def you're referring to is on the big flowering plant, but remember that one is in a hempy bucket. It gets salty nutes and has been getting its fair share of CaliMagic. She's 2 days from starting her flush too so I'm not worried at all of any deficiency there at this point. Even under full regimen her fans are starting to fade slightly, so she's ready to flush.

If you mean on the high brix plants, then you may be right. But this is my first round, and with 8ball kush being a known salt-lover, the high brix 8bk is exhibiting such different growth traits I want to let her go "by the directions" this round. I've also plucked a few leaves from her as after one dose of de-stress they got slight burn. I let them go, but they looked bad so they were out.

Hi and welcome. To answer your question, no. They were all vegged under a single P300 for most of their veg lives. I moved the two big ones into this 4x4 tray for about 2 weeks under 2x P300's, and they are now under 4x P300's. I'm not using my cabinet right now and will give it a good cleaning this next week to prep it for the seeders shortly after provided the CS spray does its job.

gov how many plants would u veg under 1 p600 and how close would u have the light

 

[McCdive]

Looking good, Gov.

 

[Conradino23]

I agree it looks like medium Ca-Mg deficiency. Immobile nutes, cause yr leaves bleak and dry their tips specifically at the top. Isn't sth specific for LED growth? I think I stumbled upon this problem somewhere.

 

[Governmentchz]

gov how many plants would u veg under 1 p600 and how close would u have the light

That totally depends on how long you want to veg. For me, I prefer to veg for 8-10 weeks so I'd veg 4-6 under it most likely, and place them in a rectangle under the P600.

Nice Gov. Almost to the finish line with hempy 8bk. Looks to be some quality smoke bro. Can't wait to see them HB girls stack up. Beautiful garden.

Thanks and yes it looks a little better than the first run I did with this strain. She starts her flush this week.

Me too...and thanks

 

[DrZiggy]

Gov, flush? what flush?

 

[Doc Bud]

Gov, flush? what flush?

Hempy/salts. Gotta flush.

SO close with the 8BK-she hulk, Im eager to see the differences between your first go around, and this one with platinum!
Excellent work man, lovely garden.

 

[Jgutta22g]

It's looking good there gov it seems like your light collection has grown in the past month or two

Thanks Jinn. I'm interested to see too. There ARE a few differences, but also enough similarities to make an anecdotal determination on relative performance.

[DrZiggy]

Gov, it would be great to see you and your readers come to my grand opening of my journal
DrZiggy's 1st Journal Featuring High Brix - LEDs & Cool Strains

 

[Governmentchz]

It would be my pleasure Zig. I'll be over there in a short.
