THC Bomb - DWC - LED

I can't figure out why I still get nutrient burn on some leaves since my EC is getting lower day by day.
C'mon guys, give me an advice

Edit: I forgot to say nutes solution has pH 5.9 and 345ppm
 
Here are some photos, dunno if the purple stem is due to the genetics or some problems..
I just want to figure out wtf is going on before flipping to flowering.
One more question, should I let the plant stretches to cover the whole horizontal space before flipping?

Newer leaves are affected but olders too, starting from the tips, they are burnt and curled upward, and spreading to the edges.
It seems Cal def to me but I am already supplementing Sensi cal-mag xtra at a dosage close to the max.
Before receiving the cal-mag I flushed with water for 24 hours and 24 more with Florakleen. Wtf is going on?
 
Here it is! Last day of vegetative!
I will add a 40w CFL, maybe at the center if i find a way to hang it from the bottom, any idea?

Great work so far! I'm on my first grow too and I'm impressed! :thumb:

You cropped your plant to look like a beautiful REEF!

I see the same purple in my plants, and I know the plant isn't purple kush or even related.
Were you able to get rid of the spider mites with just alcohol and water?
And the way you topped and cropped your plants is awesome! Keep it up and I'll be watching.
I see how you covered your clay with foil I was thinking of doing the same!! Making a skirt to keep the roots from light correct?
Also I'm wondering what happened your first attempt? It certainly seems you've learned from your mistakes. Good luck on veg. I'm using a LED similar to your mars but Vipar spectra. Was thinking of adding a UVB at flower stage.
 
Before I bought my LED light I was using full spectrum LED Bulbs. I bought a hanging light fixture on amazon. It would be perfect way to hang your extra CFL.

Hi! Thanks for coming by, everyone is welcome!
My very first attempt with Blue Dream has been a fail due to over watering maybe..BTW this is growing well so I am happy!
I had no spider mites in the end, I had to understand the plant better...
I covered the bucket to make it light proof and also to control the reservoir temperature, that is why I am using styrofoam to separate the growbox in two area.
I have followed Nebula's tutorial on mainlining and I have to keep the plant as much low as I can since I don't have much height, BTW overall plant structure is really bushy (indica dominance?) so I am expecting a 2x stretch during flowering.

(I ordered some 28w led bulbs to make a very small vegetative box)
I don't want to hang the light from the top of my box because it would be pointed only at some of the tops, not at all of them.
That is why I would try to place it in the middle, between all colas pointed to the led panel....

Sent from my X98 Air 3G(C5J6) using 420
 
Since I am aiming to have 8 big colas, how many growth tips should I leave on each stem?
I don't want to waste resources on small popcorn buds but I also don't want to damage the plant removing all growth tips...
Any idea?
 
lil updated.
i am in week 4 bloom. Buds have shown but are not fattening, i am worried :/
I had problems with ph fluctuation, now it should be ok:
PH 5.8/5.9
EC 0.9 / ppm 450

Thx Sara!
For the next grow I will buy a Reflector 96 and switch to a tent. So, do we have a discount? Another question, what is the smallest tent you have? 160cm height?

I'm thinking maybe your lights are not close enough to your plant. How far away do you keep them?

I'm currently growing a THC Bomb in 2nd week of flower. Topped once and that's it and not mainlined like yours.
I've gotten more production in 11 days of flower than you did in 4 weeks. Maybe your slow growth is mainline stress related.
I'm a new grower myself so maybe I don't know wtf I'm talking about. Keep that in mind. :)

I'm growing 4 different strains. THC Bomb has been the least fussy.
I've got a journal going if want to see how mine is turning out.

Thx man, trying to do my best to harvest something decent. I lost my action cam charger so pretty hard to take decent pictures.

Hi! My light is 7/8" away. I am having lots of issues due to heat and defoliating.
Week 6 since flipping but 3/4 weeks since buds have started to show and they are bulking up, I'll post some pics if I find a way.
I am looking at your grow journal atm
Cheers
 
They're getting nice and frosty now. I think if you're looking for fatter buds you may want to check out some better bloom boosters. I saw that you're using GH Ripen. I honestly never heard of this product where I live. Anyways, its P-K value seems pretty low. I'm not sure if you even started using it yet, but that should add a little swell to your buds. If you want fatter buds I recommend looking for a booster with a higher P-K value that you can start using in early flower.

Not having an enclosed space sucks. Hope you get that tent so you can trap your light and grow some fat buds.

I was to use the same mainlining tutorial on mine but I chickened out after I topped above the 3rd node. Props for going through with it.

Hey! Ripen is a forcing solution so i will use it only during last week of flowering.
I have bought the BioBloom from GH but don't know if I made the right decision, I should go for Canna PK 13-14 or something similar but it may be late now..

Btw I finally get a tent 23x23x55", small one cause it is placed in my attic so I am height limited.

Now I m choosing between getting into the clones stuff or trying autoflowers
