Grapefruit Fly Test Thread

[mosca negra]

RM- You noticed the Grapefruit fly is a nute hog! If Grapefruit fly is dialed-in, she will produce Big!!

P.S. I, too, wish Grace my best... Blessings

Thanks Benji!
Great to know Mosca!
The yellowing increased quickly after switching from the old dual arc bulb to a new hortilux. Its at least 20% brighter in there. i hope the color shift doesnt bug them, i think they like the extra light though!
Once they dry down I think i'll give them a little added calmag bump and boost the P/K up a ways and see what happens. i may spot feed some of the fans in the meantime to keep them humming!:grinch:
One of the shortest frosty ones with a long spear type cola forming seems the scentiest; a soft sweet lemony note. None are bearing the strong fruity funk of C99 so far, so I'm looking for the grapefruit notes at the moment.

o.k., got the pics taken!

Grapefruit Fly at 38 days into 12/12:

Thats what they are up to currently.
I'm still fighting the deficiency symptoms. I got the ppm's up but i havent gained ground. i'm guessing its poor rootballs. from pealing down the sides, i just dont see enough roots sticking out of the sides.
If it is a rootball issue, the plants want to grow regardless. my mix was a little heavy on these. i noticed the pH has crept up on all of them even though I've upped the ppm's and lowered the pH of the fertilzer solution during application.
Still its only the end of week 5 and these have a ways to go yet!
Take care folks!

[Seismic]

They look great to me dude, despite any ph or ppm issues you are having at the moment. Looks like your gonna have some tasty cola's in no time dude

 

[Retardo Motabon]

Ok quick update bfore i head out for xmas. We are on day 50.
They got their last shot of food and its just water from here out.
seems my root system just wasnt healthy enough to keep up ad readings are ok. pH is way to high for my tastes but thats due to the organic amendments that had lime in the mix. They are getting colorful and swelling nicely. No particular order with the pics here, just going to dump and run!

Grapefruit Fly @ 50 days:

Group shots first.

now the headshots.
