Mystery Clones in Coco 400 Watt MH/HPS, 80cm x 80cm x 160cm

[Jedward]

They keep getting taller by the day. Will see where they go.

I have a feeling that I am going to have to be tying down some of the budding branches, and maybe even the main stems themselves. Can I drive stakes parallel with the trunks without hurting the roots?

Auxiliary light installed for tending to the plants

I also use a 400 watt mh however I use in with an 1000 watt led 400 true watts.

They look good to they should fill out really nice within the next 2 weeks. I just had hairs show up last week!

How many weeks in flowering before the hairs showed up like that?

 

[BAKIND]

First week of flower has finished and today started the second, so far no major changes. Not seeing that many more hairs yet. They have gotten taller. I am bit concerned about their height.

Things are looking good. You could supercrop them if height becomes a big issue.

Just hit week 2 this past Saturday

First day of third week of flowering has begun. I regret to report that I am down to two plants, however, they seem to be in great shape.

I decided to apply the blooming agent (grotek super bloom 0-50-30) during the end of the first week, cutting the plants nitrogen significantly, and 6 of the 8 went into shock and never recovered. They turned yellow after two applications. It’s no wonder the instructions say apply the blooming agent starting the 4th week, and ending at the end of the 6th week. The two remaining plants are doing well and they have preflowers on all budding branches.

My baby budding all over she is! Had to tie down may branch. During flowering she took off like a rocket!

I will take better pictures tomorrow in light. These two that are left are actually doing very well.

I got a chance to take better pictures with the auxiliary light so you guys can get a better idea of what’s going on.

Today, they had their first 12 hours of darkness. Looks like they grew a lot in the dark.

Lights just came on. Just fed at EC 1,6 (ppm 850) PH 5,7 and they are liking it. I see new growth everywhere.

subbing in Bakind. I LOVE the flip. Watching these beauties stretch and do what they do.

Still in the 3rd week of flowering. I have some concerns. I will add pictures below and describe. First let give a few details.

PH 5.7
Inflow EC 1.8 ( 900 ppm) Outflow EC 2.8 (1400 PPM) <-- I am a bit concerned about this number.
Feeding when the lights come on (once a day)

Growth on the above plant seems to have stalled. I notice she’s a little lighter green on the new growth. Is she not feeding well? Could this be do to the high ppm in the medium? Should I decrease inflow ppm and increase feedings to twice a day?

Here is the other one 18th day of flowering. Also new growth is a bit light green. Concerned about the high ppm. What should my course of action be? Any help would be appreciated.

 

[EastCoastGhost]

I would mix up a light mix say 1/4 strength and give a good flush. Flush till you get your ppm to where you want, that’s the great thing about coco, you can reset it easily. Also never feed plain water in coco.

Ok guys, I need some advice.

Tomorrow night starts the fourth week of flowering. According to the instructions of the bloom supplement, that is when I am suppose to start using it. I am actually supposed to be using it during the 4th, 5th and 6th week.

I am currently using Green House Feeding (15-7-22) and the Grotek bloom supplement is ( 0-50-30). It has no Nitrogen. My question is the following.


The way I am currently mixing my nutes is as follow. First I mix in the calcium, then the feeding, and then I adjust ph. According to the instructions of the bloom supplemt, I am supposed to mix in 0.2g per liter, however, I am not sure of the mix order?

Should i do Calcium -> bloom -> feeding? I am afraid to create a lock out situation, and I don't want to send the plants into shock. Anyone with experience with bloom supplements, your input would be HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

 

[EastCoastGhost]

I always do silica first, then calmag, then supplements, then micro, grow, bloom last.

perfect,

Green House Feeding already has magnesium in it, so I am only required to add calcium. What is the silica for?

 

[EastCoastGhost]

Silica helps build really strong cell walls which build bigger and stronger stems and stalks. Silica also helps with all sorts of environments issues also, such as making the plant more resistant to pests. It has all sorts of benefits.

Ok guys. Some bad news. The lights just came on and this is what I found when I opened the tent. The only thing different that I had done last night was lowered the EC FROM 1.8 to 1.4. The reason is, because as stated previously outflow was much higher. ph stayed the sameness 5,7. I just fed them again with normal EC of 1.8. Not sure of what will happen. Take a look at these pictures.

What’s happened here ?
