Hey S.

Little hard to tell with the color on this pics, but looks like you've got something doing with your nutes or PH. Seeing quite a bit of what looks like copper on the leaves. And it appears to be the new growth?

How do they look under your eye, with natural light?

Looking good man!

Looks like Calcium deficiency according to the troubleshooting thread. I think it started late last week as the nutes were taken up. I couldn't see it in the pics from last Wed. I'll keep an eye on it but I suspect it will start clearing up now that I did a res change.

Bravo S!!!

You're on top of it. Just keeping an eye out.

Yup, I'm going to work on the pictures now...Just goes to show how much I like hitting your thread before doing my own schtuff.

Have a great day S!

Pics look really good! I must have forgotten, how do you change your res with that setup?

I have the Pro Drainage Kit installed in the res. I was hooking up a hose to this and then pumping out the res using an in-line aquarium pump but that left too much behind.
This last time I used a slightly longer hose and just stuck it down into the res and pumped it out. I had to prime the pump by sucking on the end of the hose (ewww) but it is long enough so I can see the solution coming.
I then use the pump to transfer the new solution in. Once my screen started to fill up getting into the res for cleaning is not easy.

Sure are some awesome trich pics! You are certainly on top of things there!

Looking great bro, I'm learning as you go, I've never grown with a screen, thanks for the education!

Hey, when taking pics are you using the macro function? I find that works great and use fill flash, set the flash to go off with every pic.

 

[SanibelGreen]

Looks amazing man reps!

Thanks guys!!

FF - the Macro function is used automatically when I'm in that close but I have not been setting the flash to manual. I will try that, thanks!

Sorry I've been a little lax, but it's been pretty crazy here and I finally got a chance to post an update.

Did a res change yesterday. Still seeing some spotting on the leaves, like they have the Chicken Pox. Looks a lot like the Calcium deficiency pics in the troubleshooting threads. My pH has been in the high range of normal mainly, and based on the often seen graphic showing the pH range and nutrients absorbed at different pH levels, Ca may have been locked out for a bit. Hopefully I am on my way to correcting that. Meanwhile, These are from Day 29 of Flower...

Hopefully I'll get some time to check on the posts I've missed...

Peace Out!

Beautiful. Im about 30 days flowering but it looks nothing like that. (trich-wise) but you got that WW, mine just some Bagseed...ha...has me sold!

 

[FryingPanFlyer]

Love those trich pics! Keep it up man.

Nice Scrog. Looks like you still have the pump in with the feeder tubes. Why is that?

It's off. Just haven't taken it out yet. I don't want to disturb the roots since the SCROG makes it difficult to get in and clean really well. Trying to balance the two 'evils'... Leave the pump in there or damage the roots and not get all material out of the res.

I can talk myself into and out of just about anything

As long as it's not on you could probably just leave it, I see what you mean about doing that with the screen above. At worst it will just be a little harder to clean the pump before you use it next time, no big deal in my opinion.

Thanks Miller, but don't discount the nutes! The strain definitely makes a difference but the House @ Garden line has a lot to do with it.

Check out SouthernWeed's last journal for more on that.

Lookin sweet!

looking good man

Thanks guys!

On another note, my girls are drinking more each week and I am wondering about the best way to top off the res? pH'd water only? Fraction of mutes???
What do you guys do?
