Virgin Ground And The Little Star Asterion

@TurboBucket ,Will do. Plants did the same thing last round though. But I will definitely check tomorrow anyway.

How you liking your new light? I should stop by and see. I'm on kindle and for some reason I don't get alerts like I do on my phone. So I lose everyone from time to time.
 
No buggies. Run-off was 6.4 I fed them at 1/3 Fox farms recommendations. I think they are very hungry. Gonna keep a close eye on them for sure.

I had the worst night. Screwed my lower back up right before bed. I "slept" sitting up on my couch. With a bone shaking series of cracks, it fixed itself this morning. I'm still tender, but at least I can walk up stairs now. I couldn't even take the dog out last night.
 
Damn, I hope you feel better soon!!!!!

Thanks. I hope so too.....going to a new guy in a few weeks. Hopefully I can get some answers.
 
So far so good. Fed them Sunday and they are greening up. I am going to give them a molasses and mag feed. I did buy some pulverized colonists today. I am just going to leave that autocorrect. It is supposed to say dolomite. Poor, poor colonists.lol!

Perhaps I should top dress with the lime instead. Better go do some reading on it. If you guys have any ideas on it ,don't hesitate.

Lime???

Why????

Why did u pulverize the colonists? What did they do to you????

They looked at me wrong....They were too colonial,for my taste....I dunno why I done it....WHY?!!!


Anyway, I fell asleep instead of reading, or because of, it's a fine line. You ever use lime for calmag or ph control? Back to reading......definitely NOT napping;).
 
No lime for me, I use the calmag myself, but I left the dirt grow for other things now

It's how I roll...lol
 
I tried DL once. It was to little / late. I remember having to tweak the ph of the water to get it in solution.
 
They are still a little purple, but I'm going in the right direction. No new burn or progression to older damaged leaves.
I fed the molasses and epsom. I let ph rest at 6.6ish to allow better absorption of Ca and MGSO4.

Beautiful VG! :)
 
They are looking much better. They are almost twice the size that their donors were.
I think I was being too exact on the pH. I need to let it drift a bit more.
The lights are as high as I can hang them. They are also at 100% power. They seemed to handle it fine.
 
They have reached their stretching phase. 17" from qbs. 100% power.
So much for an even canopy. The mains are outpacing the rest. Unruly clones. That's what I get for not training. Not sure how many times I topped them.....a bunch.

Gave them water today and scratched some lime in. I know they have some purple in their genetics, but they kinda still look like they are deficient and pale between the margins. The mature leaves also have a purple-green iridescents to them and still have red petioles. So this makes me think underfed. Get I have a very small amount of either tip burn or early deficiency or lockout. I don't think it is lockout. Ph has been good as far as run-off. I am going to do a soil test in the next few days. I want to do a better ph check.

Why wasn't my first purchase a ppm meter? Regretting that. I will get one soon. Looking at a bluelab.
 
Ppm is nice, but knowing the % of the nutes your using is just as beneficial, and when u see issues, back off.

I never push my nutes, usually stay at 1/2 strength and coast along
 
I am only at 1/3. I will increase next feed. I just know the tiger bloom is really strong. Did you burn your girls with it when you used it?

Probably not, because you are not a silly chick with no ppm meter.Lol!


How close do y'all let your qbs get to your plants?
 
You have qb288 right

I had mine as close as 12" late in flower, but 18" is probably a better distance, I had height issues late in flower in my small tent
 
Yep 288 260 watt. I should have enough room. I can always redo my venting outside of the tent if I run into trouble. It would give me another 6" at least .
 
Hi VG Saw you around and read most of your journal. Remarkable! Super good job on the first one, now this. Growing is fun, they always seem to draw me back to the house all pumped to see and care for them. Then the payoff when they finish. Continued success!
