Re: 200th post!

Alrighty well hopefully this is the start of a new era for this grow. I stopped playing around with these SH nutes and decided to go and get some of the better stuff also I purchased a 6" Axial Fan from Eco-Plus. and threw it in the ceiling, so venting isnt a prob now hooked up to timers and runs for 10 min every 3 hrs. Here are some pics of the goodies. Also PPM meter was calibrated, waiting a little bit to test to see what happens over night. Here we go!

Cal-Mag
Flora Nova Bloom and Grow
Liquid Karma
Dark Energy (This stuff is awesome)

Fan

You know the deal just post!

Nice little line up ya' got going on there Sanibel for food! I hope you can hit a smooth point where you can relax and enjoy it a bit more rather than rackin' your nuts trying to keep 'em alive. The iPhone app will come in handy while mixing up to reference.

Why not just run the fan 24/7? What does that dark energy do? Gratz on upgrading the nutes tho, hope it will pay off!!

Good morn' Sanibel. Look forward to your update man and seeing some phat leafage soon!

BTW, what height are you keeping the led above the canopy? I have mine at about 8". Just curious.

That fan is almost louder than your standard bathroom vent fan. So keeping it on is just noise pollution and it is that hot in there jus needs to be circulated a couple times a day.

And the dark energy? Here is the description from a site.

A nutrient additive - unique blend of l-amino acids, vitamins & bio-nutrients. • HYDROPONIC USE • SOIL USE • FOLIAR SPRAY • Significantly shorten the time to harvest. • Increase yields. • Improve overall plant vigor. • Reduce stress. • Highly concentrated - can be used for any fertilizing program. • Compatible with systemic programs. • Helps plants absorb the benefits of other additives. USE DARK ENERGY FROM SEED TO HARVEST!

eh mine is like 18 inches, however new leaf looking problem.....newer leaves are smaller and curl into each other like banannas.... they are looking a lot healthier however especially the ones that were hurting.

Also I think some of these plants grew an inch or 2 over night.

Hell I am too new to give advice Sanibel, you know that, BUT I had the exact same thing happening with newer growth, brighter green too just like what your pictures show. Looked like they were dwarfed or somethin'.
FrostyBuds came in and showed a picture of a plant that was re-couping, pointed that out and mentioned I could up the nutes a tiny bit, which I did, with
great results.
Of course wait for a more experience brother/sister to jump in. Glad to see the new growth though and to hear they shot up a bit. You might be back on track with a bit more tuning. I am getting excited for ya' bro!!! Finger's crossed

Oh... and you are keeping it at 18" eh? Ok makes sense for veggin'. I have mine down to the 8-9 mark for flower.

 

[Daffodil]

sorry i didnt have time to get on here yesterday glad to see u got some new nutes how are they doing today? any changes?

 

[Daffodil]

i see that that one is doing alil better but how are the rest? and once u get enuf new growth above those leaves on the bottom get rid of them....just dont do it to early? hows the res?

 

[SanibelGreen]

Thanks guys! Res was changed when I got the nutes yesterday so it is all fresh. 6.2 Ph it keeps creeping up and 900ppm So let me know what you guys think



SG

 

[Daffodil]

ph creeping up is normal....atleast it seems like it to me....i know from my experience my nutes lower the ph naturally so when the plants eat the nutes my ph goes back up...usually like .7 a day and then i just add a gallon or 2 of 4.5 ph water and it knocks it back down to 6 or so as long as it isnt to rapid i wouldnt worry about it to much

Check your PM Sanibel, off subject somewhat.

Plants look more of the same leave wise but roots have almost doubled as well as some of the heights of the pants. Just this leaf problem is killing my morale =

Hey man my S.A.G.E. was doing the EXACT same thing, just back off the nutes a little and bring the Ph down to 5.9. Thats exactly what i did with mine and its looking ALOT better now. Im actually about to post 2 pics of 2 very strange leaves i found lastnight on the S.A.G.E. and it gives you a good view of how she recovered. Goodluck man dont give up hope yet

Any of the curling you see in those 2 pics is old damage, all of the new leaves are nice and flat Its almost like the 2 mystery leaves sprouted out of 2 bad fans in a second effort to get it right. We'll see how they look when the lights come on tonight

so hows it going

 

[Michael Hunt]

Well the S.A.G.E. and Powerkush gave birth to some children lastnight and i decided to put them under 12/12. Even after taking 8 cuttings from the PK, this thing is still going to be a monster. My issue with the S.A.G.E. kind of dissapeared when i pulled her out into a seperate bucket and started with the Hygrozyme and calmag. She is looking very healthy now and all of the new growth is flattening out. Try flushing for a day or 2, then start back with the nutes a bit weaker than they are now and dont forget the calmag or whatever Calcium/magnesium addative you end up using. The hygrozyme is strange stuff but wow does it work!!
