Noob Grow. 400w. Bagseed

[flat3ric]

So I decided to flower after Day 34 of vegging. Last night I set the timer and fed it 50/50 roots organic veg/bloom nutes and a little cal-mag. I've been going so easy on the nutes since I nute burned it that I think it's a little nitrogen deficient. Hopefully last night's feeding will get some of the green back.

I also changed to my 400w HPS last night. This is what it looks like as of this morning.

LST it to open it up if you have the space.
Looks good

Day 24 of 12/12 on the older bushier one and day 17 for the younger stalky one.

They are yellowing way too soon, add some N in the mix and check your pH.

I agree with the previous poster you're lacking nitrogen and probably some other stuff, probably from lack of feeding since you started flowering, but good job on your first grow!

Here's a shot of a scrogged bubblegum flower from a few days ago, day 21, 12/12. This plant is still very dark green in color.

I'm just about to start running a higher concentration of bloom mix to my tea which is more Phosphorous and Potassium. I gave her tons of nitrogen in early flower as you can tell.

Do you run a feeding schedule? I use a standard 4-part flower feeding schedule - early, middle, late, later for all of my ladies. I also keep a notebook journal on everything I do, so I have something that gives me direction when I'm baked and lost. lol

All my water is adjusted to 6.5PH and runoff is tested periodically (I should check my runoff more often - because I have a blueberry plant that is very nute sensitive), just keep a close eye as you adjust your nute levels and make sure your PH is in check..

That looks great. Thanks for all the info everyone.

I am using Aurora Innovations Roots Organic feeding schedule. I did as suggested and checked my PH, but not before recalibrating my meter, it was .8 points off!!!!

Runoff was 7.7 which is awfully high, so I put some 5.5 balanced water in and will check runoff tomorrow.

Anyway things seem to be going decently regardless...here's a pic of the bushier one as of 10 min ago.

7.7 isn't that bad in soil and feeding schedules usually use WAY more than the plant really needs.
Also, some strains need a different diet.

Still working on the yellowing issue. PH was too high, I'm bringing it down and giving a tad more nitrogen in the form of botanicare cal-mag. Working slowly but surely.

Day 55 12/12

 

[fonzee]

They look great, very frosty!

It would be much faster and easier to watch if you'll resize the pictures before uploading them.
I like to use the microsoft powertoys for that matter (thats if you'r running windows XP):

I'm sure there are alternatives for other OSes.

ye man, looking really good. that frost is going to lend very very nicely to the effect you will incur after puffing that hierbo.

 

[flat3ric]

today is day 57 of flowering. I think I'm a week or 2 from harvest?

I also just swapped my hps back to my vegging metal halide for what I've heard can increase resin production in the last week or so?

but more importantly..it doesn't suck like HPS does for taking photos

 

[fonzee]

I'll guess 3 weeks left.

moved my hydro plants under the HID along with 96W of mixed 6500K and 2700K T5s

Super Lemon Haze is the tub on the left, BLZ bud tub on the right with my little bonsai flowering guys in the middle

 

[Ekz_Ray]

BLZ Bud??

 

[flat3ric]

yeah google the strain.

Anyway here are some pics of the bagseed. Day 67 on plant 1 and Day 60 on plant 2.
Trichomes still look clear and cloudy, as far as I can tell none have turned amber so I'm going to keep waiting.
