Ripe1 Grow2 Lunar Planting NYC Turbo Diesel & Cheese CFL & LED In Soil

[GlaucomaMeds]

Looks like you got things going nicely here .

From what I know that pale green colour on the new growth is just a result of very rapid new growth and it will green up more as it grows bigger. It looks super healthy. Especially if you got the spotting to stop spreading I think you're good .

Great work dude really nice looking plants coming along now ✌

 

[Ripe1]

Thanks Glauc! Finally huh! I'm pretty sure the spotting is from the way I flushed/fed them. I have a couple more leaves on Cheese5 that got some spots. Not bad though. If it is nutes they are just the tiniest amount too hot for Cheese5. I gave her a haircut today, and saw one of those orange, translucent balls on the bottom of the leaf. Spider mite egg I think. I looked over every sinlge leaf I cut, and only saw the one. There were a probably 10 black spots, too tiny to see if they were mites or not. If they are in there. They are having a very rough time living. The lady bugs are still kicking in there, the DE, Neem, SNS 203 & 209 have not been sprayed for 2 or 3 weeks now, yet they still seem to doing a very good job at keeping the bugs below minimum. If you don't have ladybugs in your garden, YOU SHOULD!!! In my short experience, nothing beats active pest control!

orange ball may be a lady bug egg ...

That would be cool! I hope it is! I wasn't planning on any successful breeding. I think Grandpa had a hard time getting them to breed. Not that I think I am having any luck or that any of us are trying, but some eggs would be cool for sure!.

 

[GlaucomaMeds]

A friend of mine tried lady bugs once, they were retarded and kept flying into the lady bug blender though (fan). I'm glad they are working for ya! Would be super cool if they are breeding!

well they arent really known as apex predators , the force (of darwinism) is strong with these little ones

 

[Ripe1]

Everyday I see a new pile on the floor and humidifier. I had to put mesh on everything but the fans. I am not going to stifle airflow because these things can't figure out that they shouldn't fly into moving blades. Not when they are only $4-$15. I got 300 last month for like $6 or $7 plus shipping, there are still at least 25-50 in there. Most of them died the first couple of days because there wasn't any "baby proofing" in there for them. I am hoping I'll keep quite a few more this go around. Apex predator...God No! Fun to watch them eat my foes though! It's like Colosseum in there. Bring a bowl folks. Gnats vs. Ladybugs!

Day 62

I topped everything last night. Pruning Cheese5 and NYCTD1 only made them more vigorous and bushy! I've got a battle on my hands here. I've had worse problems in here though so... I didn't think too bushy of a plant was even in my cards a month ago. Here we are! Everything is greening up like Glauc said it would. I have to leave town for a week soon. I am getting everything ready for the Roomie. He should only have to water once while I am gone. Soon after I am back, I hope to put them in the 7 gallon pots and get the Rooster ScroG over them. I watered them today. They are taking 4 gallons for the 5 of them. Man! The last watering had Great White again so I won't be adding any for a couple of weeks. Contents of each gallon were:
CalMag -7ml
Grow -9ml
Bloom -3ml
Roots -10ml
Weed -4ml
Marine -7ml

Cheese1 gets to 97% on the upload and stops so you'll have to wait on that one.

Happy Monday all! I am off to clean the tent and make co2!

Are you transplanting to hard pots? I don't fabric pots have the structure to support Rooster's scrogs.

 

[Ripe1]

I wasn't planning on it. I thought the soil coupled with the angle of the stakes would be enough, but I had not really thought about it that much. Something to consider.

 

[Ripe1]

Soil Growers! What nutes are you using and why? I am almost out of the GH Go-Box and want to switch. I can't get my PPM over 500. It always tops out at 380-470ish. If it is in the 400-500's, it's because the Ph up takes it from 350 to 425. Also, forom my reading, GH is against growing pot and doesn't want to attach itself in anyway to Da Reefeefeef. I can't get on with unresonable thinking like that. GH and Jeff Seissions can S a D. I know you're using FF Shed. I am really giving some thought to that. I am also considering Advanced Nutrients. I gave AN a call last week with some questions, but the guy on the phone sounded like he didn't want to be at work helping me, he actually hindered more than he helped.

 

[InTheShed]

I am a Fox Farms guy (Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Open Sesame) along with the cal/mag and the Armor Si. I will tell you that if I were you I wouldn't count the pH up in my PPM. I also don't count Big Bloom in mine because if I did I'd be underfeeding my plants.

Day 75 update (from yesterday)

I pruned the bottoms & watered the girls yesterday as I patiently wait for my ounce to dry. They looked good when I got home from my trip, but were also quick to tell me they wanted water. They are taking it in 2-3 times a week instead of 1-2 times a week. That's O.K. All the newest leaves exhibit that same pale color, but they always green up in about a week.

I used the last of my GH CalMag yesterday as well as the rest of my GH Roots. I ordered Advanced Nutrients Iguana base with Big Bud, Bud Candy and Ancient Earth. Freaking $141 without the CalMag! Jesus! Then$16 for CalMag. I hope it is worth it. I was leaning more towards the FF regimen but my buddy swore up and down the extra $50 would ressurect itself in a couple hundred extra bucks worth of meds. O.K. I like to see a return on my investment. Especially since I can't say that is true with Grow1. The water was the same as usual except for CalMag went to 5ml instead of 7ml in each of the 4 gallons and roots dropped from 10 ml to 8ml for each gallon.

Moving forward, one more Cheese has to go. My buddy might hold it for me until it is time to plant outdoors. I am going to transplant into 7 gallon pots on 3/14/18. After a couple of weeks of root building I will flip them. That puts me 3 weeks behind what I wanted to be and I get the feeling they are going to be monsters! Here they are yesterday.

If anyone knows of a grower that needs some nutes and is down and out, I have a 1Liter bottle of GH Biothrive Grow pretty much full, and whatever is left in the go box after this. It is enough to get someone through a month or more. The Liter of grow is enough for the whole summer and there is still 1/2 in the smaller bottle in the go box. I probably won't use them and would rather get them to someone in need. Thanks!

Have a great day growers!

 

[InTheShed]

That's a great turnaround in the tent after the tents early days (). Plants are looking great and moving one out is probably a good idea, because with another transplant and a few more weeks, you are going to need all the space you can get!

 

[Ripe1]

Word to my Mother bro! That's for sure!

God Dang it! Those were all on lower light areas except for Cheese 1 and Cheese 5. There are 5 more leaves like the Cheese 5 photos, on Cheese 5! Damn that's a lot of Cheese!

 

[Ripe1]

Wait, that just "leaves" NYCTD1...Dumbass! The big leaf on Cheese 1 was at the top. The rest of the Cheese1 pic and the NYC is leaves from the bottom of the plants. Still...

 

[InTheShed]

What did you end up doing last time? I can't remember with all the sprays you listed.

 

[Ripe1]

I just fed more. It should only be another day or so before I water again. I think getting less CalMag last time was not well received. With PPM in only being at 400 at full recommended strength, I think/hope this nute change is going to help. The sprays were for the fungus gnats...which are still here apparently. I saw one fly off of Cheese5 and a one on anther one so...good thing I got another shipment of ladybugs! Which are fertile! Same company as last time. No babies though, I don't think.
