Tom Smith's First Indoor Grow With Autos 2017

[EastCoastGhost]

Day 53, i fed all the girls today (7ml big bloom, 7.5ml tiger bloom, and 2.5ml calmag,). I let everything dry out extra good this time before i gave them a good drink this morning, they are drinking alot more. A couple old lower leaves on Jaimie has yellowed somewhat with some small spots on the edges, im thinking were they was so crowded before i took them two out maybe they wasn't getting enough light down on the main bottom leaves or may be normal, just a thought. I will keep a eye on it and if it starts getting worse i will post some better pics. Two pics of each ww, Jaimie, Shorty, Sherry.✌

Day 53 on the thc bombs also, they got the same feeding, they seem to be doing good, just got one pic of each, Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, they seem to droop a little more than the ww right after feeding, i will get a pic of all the girls in natural light tomorrow.✌

Has anyone ever used the 420 scope, it has mixed reviews but most say once you get used to it you can see good, would it be alright for checking my trics till i can get a better one...

I have one with same mag. Too strong hard to use

I don't have alot of money to spend on one at the moment, i need to find something pretty cheap for now but when i get lined out and can afford to get a good one i will, like to find one that hooks to phone with usb and will dhow good clear images.✌

I was also adding 2ml of grow big in their feed but now that most of the stretching has about stopped on this feed i cut the grow big out completely, just fed them the big bloom, tiger bloom, and calmag phed to 6.5, i gave half strength with all three.✌

 

[EastCoastGhost]

I wonder how far into flowering should i add calmag, i have been adding about 1/4 strength since about day 25, i gave them half strength today, in not sure if i should add low strength up till flush or if i need to let up on it now, any suggestions.✌

There looking good mate i dont know bout the nutes though am on my first my pistils just started showing today

Hmmmm- I think my next round I'm doing cal mag all the way through flower Tom - I am switching to pro mix the dang fox farm ocean forest is too hot for me !

Thanks Philsthetent, i think i am having a problem with Jaimie, the ww that had the yellowing on the older bottom leaves, it seems to be getting worse and moving up the plant with little brown spots on the end of some of the leaves. I just fed her yesterday but to be honest i think something might have been going on before i fed cause of the color getting lighter. I have been adding 1/4 calmag per gal, i also added dolomite lime 7 or 8 days in (2 to 3tbs per gal of soil), i was giving her 2ml of grow big and now that she has stoped stretching i cut that out on this feeding, gave them bloom nutes only, along with the 1/4 calmag, i have never check runoff, i havent had any issues till now so i have never check it, maybe i should check runoff when lights come back on. I use rain water and the ph is 6.5, after i add my nutes i have to add a little ph up. If i need to check runoff and its not right will i need to give her a flush. I need some help diagnosing the problem, hopefully someone will chime in im worried about her.✌

Here is s chart.✌

Could she be wanting more nitrogen, i dont no what to make of it.✌

Love me some Pro Mix. You know exactly what they are being fed and how much. Not to mention it's a lot cheaper than FF.

That's my guess. The need for Nitrogen doesn't go away in bloom. From some tissue samples I've found, the need increased an average of 6% during bloom. P and K went up 40-50% but we're still less than the amount of Nitrogen in total. In my opinion, most bloom formulas have way too much P and too little N. If you feed them bloom only it's easy to get N deficiency. I mix my bloom and grow formulas 50/50 to compensate for the lack of N in the bloom alone.

I think i may try pro mix next time, im using a local mix and i would much rather just order promix for next grow, i was working with a tight budget and not only that i have to order everything, no grow shops or anything around. I am thinking maybe i need to up the strength on the calmag to half or 3/4 strength, im not sure though.✌

Thanks, she has always done good till i started dropping the strength of the grow big so you may be right, what do you think about the little brown spots, think i need to up calmag or could the brown spots be part of the nitrogen deficiency, thanks for the help by the way.✌

Probably wouldn't hurt to mix up some in the morning and go ahead and give her would it.✌
