New CFL Grow

[Rollincoal]

There is so much info on this forum, its crazy happy to have the help and advice from everybody.

Ok i flushed with just straight tap water no nutes. Reason i did that is so i can start fresh with nutes next feeding. If this is lacking in phosphorus should i increase my micro and grow mixture? I use High Output Garden complete kit i followed there recommended dosage for the previous feedings,

Good ol Edson! Been there once for a snowmobile trip with some friends. Other then that, I’ve only ever driven through coming home from BC.

I live just south of Edmonton! Work in the Edmonton area. Might be finishing a school in Drayton in the next week or two, don’t know yet, they might send someone else.

Right on glad to hear i am not the only albertan on here lol. I got my new fan today so gonna set that up after some needed food

 

[Backlipslide]

We’re definitely not the only albertans! Lots of us are coming out of the wood works! I’ve got a page in my signature called the Alberta growers lounge. Your more then welcome to follow along there and meet lots of Albertans. Well it’s still new and not many have found it yet, but people are starting to notice it

 

[Rollincoal]

@Rollincoal A little late but following along!

 

[Backlipslide]

Nice set up man!

 

[Rollincoal]

Well got the new light in sorry guys not gonna be under cfl anymore, gonna try this mars light out. Hope it works as good really lights the tent up i like so far, it does put some heat out but still less then the cfl. Plants are still unhappy, but still wet from the flush.

Leaves don't repair themselves how does the new growth look

 

[Rollincoal]

A litttl yellowed all the leaves i took pics of are the healthy ones i trimmed most of the bad ones off already, starting to wonder if its in excessive amount of one nutrient, i dont know whats in my tap water and i have high ppm as is 450ppm starting so could be that as well

 

[Rollincoal]

Hey guys just letting you all know dont think the girls are gonna make it problem is definitely progressing not getting anny better i have done no pruning at all since last week. And as you can see from the last few pics its only been a couple days. Idk let me hear your guys thoughts. Open to try anything that does not include water they are so wet still. Not drying up at all

 

[TurboBucket]

Do you have any better pictures of new growth?

 

[Rollincoal]

Beat i can do for quality of photo the first three are of my oldest plant at 4 weeks is a green crack, the last three are of a blueberry cbd at about three weeks old

 

[Rollincoal]

I was also gonna add i do have a ph pen run off is at 6.0 after i believe i did three liters per pot pot size is about 1 gallon

 

[TurboBucket]

They're not going to die anytime soon don't worry about that. The new growth looks good. Old ugly leaves just get older and uglier, the plant is using the nutrients stored in them to power the new growth.

Measuring run off isn't that important. There's a big difference in the first couple drips that come out to the last few.

I only worry about what's going in. Water to run off, more is better, but there's no point in wasting it. The whole point is you want to rinse out all the old nutrient solution and replace it with new stuff. The medium is fully soaked by the time run off starts, another .25l won't hurt but it will help insure all the nutrient solution is fresh.

3 liters is almost a gallon and seems heavy for a normal watering. I use about a quart ≈ a liter for my one gallon containers.

You've got leaves very close to the top of the medium, I cut those off after the plant has a few sets of fan leaves so the top of the medium dries out better.
