Oldsmokey Grows Blue Cheese & Blueberry With Promix

[oldsmokey]

I have an 18 in fan blowing into into the the room from the floor. Cold air in the bottom, hot air out the top of the doorway, so lots of air exchange. I think it’s just the temperature boiling off terpenes. The room is probably 5 C warmer than my winter grows with 1600 W of HID. Got the new light so that will help come Sept

Your just recirculating the air. Much better to exhaust the warm air outside and replace with fresh air.

 

[oldsmokey]

@Dusted the reason I asked if you lived in Alberta is you said your growing in the basement. IMHO best way for you exhaust the hot air would be up the chimney that your furnace and hot water tank use. There will be atleast one fresh air vent next to the furnace if you can tie into that for fresh air intake.you should be good. Now the smell will be going out side if you don't have a carbon filter you might want to get one.

I'm in. Beautiful setup oldsmoky. Should be a grand show under that big lamp.

 

[oldsmokey]

Thanks and Glad to have you aboard I am hoping that light gives a good show!

Good evening everyone here's whats cooking in Smokey's kitchen to night. Stuffed peppers on the BBQ as always no sodium. Go here for pics

Quick video update tonight my video skill definitely need some work you'll see what I mean.

That's all folks have a awesome evening
Stay Medicated Grow On

Loving the look on that blueberry! You’ve got some monsters @oldsmokey !!

Thanks Johnny

Good morning starting to have a issue with both blue cheese. Yesterday was feed day. I had to go to a BBQ so I mixed up the nutes before the lights came on and quickly watered all of them soon as the light clicked on before leaving.

When I returned and was looking them over I noticed some rusty spots on a leaf on each of the Blue Cheese.

This is What I think is going on you might remember not to Long Ago I dropped there feed to 4.5,gm/gl from 5gm because I could see a nitrogen toxicity starting. To dark of green colour downward clawing leaf tips. Classic N toxicity. After 2 feedings. At 4.5 things seemed to be improving so I increased the feed to 4.75 gm. Yesterday was the second feedings at 4..75. If I had not been in hurry to water last night I probably would of noticed the darker green creeping back in an the spotted leafs and would not of fed them the 4.75 and would of lowered it probably another.5 gm.

My take on this is K is starting being locked out also possibly a Mg defficiency from to high of N.

Blueberry#1 Ca defficiency Is slowly spreading it is on its second watering at 5.5gm I had raised itt because of the Ca defficiency I will monitor and possibly increase to 6 gm next watering. This one had used more nutes than the rest since day1. Blueberry# 2 looks good at 4.75gm. I should mention I am on a 3 day watering schedule giving them all 8 Lt and getting around 15-20% runoff.

I had a bunch of pics I took last night but I am having problems getting them to load onto the computer. I have a few that I took with my phone because I ran out of memory on The camera.

Blue Cheese#2 Both pics of same leaf about 60 % from the bottom of the plant

Blue Cheese#3 Both pics of same leaf about 60 % from the bottom of the plant

A couple of other possibilities. Could this be related to me not adjusting the PH level? This is a first for me. Also couple weeks ago I introduced a led light into the mix exchanging it for the 1000 watt HPS.
If anyone had any thoughts on this I would love to here them.

Happy Saturday wake and bake time

 

[Dusted]

Are you supplementing with Ca/Mg? What is the hardness of your feed water? I remember reading that LED lighting may require more cal/mag for some reason

Ahh the nitrogen toxicity is haunting me too right now on my Dark star! From the sounds of it in my opinion she is just lookin like she is hanging in there but from my knowledge & others schooling me theirs, it gets worse before it gets better so just hold tug of the boat and drop an anchor on the mix you were at. Im on for 4.5 and some gentle care to go with it. Seemingly increasing will just make the claw steep longer , but this is just my opinion.

Wake n bake time
Stay blazin @oldsmokey

Are you supplementing with Ca/Mg? What is the hardness of your feed water? I remember reading that LED lighting may require more cal/mag for some reason

This is my first time using led so that could be a issue. I am not supplementing cal mag. Don't have TDS meter but the city water here is hard. Water comes from the mountains running through limestone and quartz. It should be good.

Does your LEDs have a dimmer? Dim her down to 50 if you can. Maybe the light is stressing her too? Never used HPS so i cant say if this would be do to stress

 

[Canadadoes]

@Dusted has a good point. When using LED’s you should be supplementing higher Cal. I’m not a scientist but from what I remember reading it comes down to calcium ionizing at around 420nm wavelength. This causes it to bind to other elements and rendering it immobile. Almost locking itself out. To counteract the immobile calcium we add more.

That might be a contributing factor but with the Blue Cheese cant overlook the obvious nitrogen overload.

 

[oldsmokey]

@Canadadoes are supplementing cal mag?

Your are very much a scientist @Canadadoes
A small dose of cal/mag should put her in a groovy mood

 

[Canadadoes]

Yeah for sure brother, I’m not doubting that just some food for thought. Yes I supplement Cal/Mag every feed. 1.5ml/L

 

[Macdaddy420]

Looking good @oldsmokey! Mind if I follow along? loving the blueberry, mother of my current f1’s.

Yes it definitely is something to consider. I have a couple days untill feed day to decide on how to proceed.

Thanks for the input much appreciated

@MrSauga @Pennywise wondering what your thoughts on this is?
