Smoking George's Humble Garden With Mars SP250

[Mars Hydro]

Hi SmokeSara, I was hoping you could give me a bit of advice about the light, should I keep raising the light so its constantly 18-20 inches from the top of the canopy or should I let my girls get as close as possible. Thanks in advance

I suggest you lower the hanging height to 12‘’-18‘’. Because you have entered the flowering stage, your plants need more light

Thanks, I've lowered the light to 14" for now and see how they react. Thanks again @SmokeSara

You can slowly turn it down and watch the plant change to see if it adapts to the intensity of the light

My Bubblegum fems from 00 seeds are looking good, they had a feed this morning, they each had 18ml Medi-One, 15ml Massive and 3.75ml of Pro-Cal in 3ltrs of plain tap water. Temps are steady at 21 (lights off) and up to 24 (lights on). I also took some more of the lower growth of them which wasn't going to hit the canopy.

Day 17 of Flower

love your daily update

Hi all
Hope you all had a great weekend, sorry I haven't done an update for the last few days, I've been away for the weekend.
Checked on the girls as soon as I got back and I can't believe how much they have grown, they are looking Happy and Healthy. I gave them both 3ltrs of plain tap water (ph 6.3).
This might sound like a silly question, well it does to me lol, how long do fems typically stretch for (I've only grown auto's before), I realise there are a lot of variants but I was just wondering if there was a general timescale, my girls are 21 days in flower.

Day 21 in flower

From my experience I’d say you’re probably about done with the stretch. I don’t have scientific data for you.

once they start focusing on producing flowers I feel like they are done with focusing on growth of the plant

 

[Smoking George]

Thanks Silverfox, I've been reading through your journals, congrats on the harvest, just hope I do half as well, the most I've got is about 5oz for one plant. A friend of mine suggested using a nute called dutch explode on fems, have you used it or know anyone who has?

 

[Silverfox125]

No I’ve never used it. I’ve been organic since the start. I’m just now experimenting with Megacrop nutrients

Hi all,
just a few pics of my girls today

 

[Silverfox125]

Looking fantastic in there @Smoking George

Hi all
My bubblegum fems are looking good. Temps steady between 21-24, they both had a feed today they each had 18ml medi one, 15ml massive and 3ml pro cal in 3ltrs of plain tap water (ph 6.2). Its looking like they have just about finished their stretch so hopefully the buds will start to fill out. They will both have just plain water for their next feed. I've also just ordered some dutch pro explode so I will be adding that to one of them while the other will have green planet finisher along with massive, I've only ever used green planet nutes so will be interesting to see any difference. On my next grow I will be comparing dutch pro nutes with green planets from start to finish with some grim mix fem seeds, I just want to see the difference between different brands of nutes.

Day 24 flower

Its day 11 since flip and everything's looking great, It looks like I 'm only going to fill about half the frame on the scrog, I only topped them once!!! They had a watering yesterday, each had 3ltr of plain tap water (ph 6.1-6.4), they will have a feed next time of pro-cal, medi-one and massive. I was thinking of giving one of them pk13/14 on week 5 of flower but not sure as I've never used it before, any advice would be much appreciated. Here's a couple of pics

Here's a pic of where I topped one

Under her canopy

And the're being powered by this Mars SP250

Pk13/14 is really potent stuff. Is recommend starting with no kore than 1/2 the recommended dose.

 

[Smoking George]

Hi and Welcome, I'm still not sure I will be using it yet, I got a free bottle of it a while ago and thought I might use it, I've just received some Dutch Pro Explode and will be starting to use that on their next feed.

 

[Smoking George]

Hi all, hope your all having a great weekend.
My bubblegums are looking happy an healthy, they will both have 3ltrs of plain water today and their next feed will probably be on Monday, that's when I will start them on the dutch pro explode, temps steady between 21-24, here they are

Day 26 flower

And here's a bonus for the weekend,

Day 58 from seed

My northern lights auto, she will be coming down either tonight or tomorrow

 

[Smoking George]

Hi all, my northern lights auto came down this morning, i only did a rough trim, she was 59 days from seed. Her smell is amazing and soooooo sweet and her buds are solid, I will probably end up with roughly 3-3.5 oz dry, my camera ran out of battery but here's a few pics

 

[Silverfox125]

Cool looking flowers

Thanks, there not the biggest but they are solid, I had a few probs with her so I'm very happy, will give a final weight when she's dry, enjoy what's left of the weekend

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend.
My girls are 28 days into flower and looking great (well I think so lol), they had a feed this morning, they both had 18ml medi one, 10ml massive, 2ml pro cal and 1.5ml dutch pro explode in 3ltrs of plain tap water (ph 6.4). Temps steady between 21-24 and humidity is 60%.
I do have a couple of questions and hope someone can help
should I remove some fan leaves on the canopy to let some light through or just leave them, also they still seem to be stretching to the light so should I raise the light or just let them get as close as possible, I'm leaning towards just letting them get as close as possible, they certainly seem to like this marshydro SP250

Day 28 of flower - bubblegum fems
