Chewyy's 2x4 600w

[chewyy]

Now for what y'all been waiting for! I am really happy with my results using the General Organics Veganic line it is amazing so far , I have doubled up all my feed and used the quad dose feed for the bloom that it calls for and my ppm still is never over 700 , never burned a plant .. it is great so far!

Here is the video update link : http://youtu.be/4g3MvDkC6EQ

What would be the latest in flowering that you guys would recommend to foliar?

 

[chewyy]

Anyone ?

 

[BroughtSuperior]

depends on the strain , but i wouldn't do it past 25 days, if it is foliar fed i dont think the risk is worth it, you wanna bump your crop but not to the point you can cause it to mold and risk loosing some part or even the hole crop.

 

[chewyy]

Ok thanks , just was worried about it.

 

[chewyy]

If my leaves are dark green during flowering , should I just flush a couple times with water and cal/mag?

 

[Dr.RedWhite]

I wouldn't worry about it as long as there are no dead spots or clawing. You could just drop your PPM to 550 or 600 if you are sweating it out.

I personally wouldn't foliar feed at all, but to each their own. If I was foliar feeding I would stop as soon as I saw buds forming, any advantages of foliar feeds is going to be canceled by mold on the bud.

Unless you are using neem oil or something for pest control, I never saw a reason for foliar feeding. The plants main nutrient uptake is through the roots, IMO spraying a plant just gives you a wet plant and a slight increase in humidity.

You asked how big your plants would get. It depends on the strain, whether its sativa or indica dominant, ect., ect. But as a general rule of thumb, when you flip to flower your plant is one third the size it will be at harvest. Sorry this answer came too late for you to make much use of it. I don't usually read the grow diary sub-forum.

Your grow is looking great! After I get moved into my new place I'm thinking of getting a 4x4' grow tent and running either a 1000w HPS, or 2x600w hps in it. How are your temps with the 600w?

 

[chewyy]

Temps are not bad , they never go over 86f one foot from the light - 78-79F at the scrog level.

I would run 2 600w's if I were you.A friend and I tried 2 1000W in a 4x8 tent and it was too much.

My humidity levels in the tent are around30-45% at all times , my room humidity is around 30% flat , outside 10-15% if that. So humidity and mold are not really the issue , plus I have lots of airflow inside the tent. 3 Clip on fans + 425 cfm inline 6".

Ok thanks for the tip , I'll just flush is this once then lower the ppms a bit and take notes.

looking good chewy, keep up the good work..

Thanks! I've been putting in a lot of research/effort into this!

Well back again with another update! We are at day 36 flowering now, sorry didn't get that chance to post it sooner but I became busy as hell yesterday.

I'm still working out the issues on the Woody's GDP trying to get the nutrient deficiency out of it still , I just upped the nutes and brought the ppm to low 700~ and it's starting to help it.

I flushed everything today though with just Ro water and Mag-Pro from Dynagro cause the Tahoe's seem to have a real dark green color to them still.Then next feed I'll give them some nutes and floranova.

I managed to find my old camera that can take color-corrected pictures for the HPS by setting the camera to Tungsten lightning mode.

Looking great. It is always a trial running more than one strain at a time.

Yeah I hear that! Only reason I did was cause I wanted to see if this GDP was legit or not , I am looking for a good purp tasting strain.

 

[Dr.RedWhite]

I do it usually the first run of the year from looking for a mother plant, there is always a picky eater in there.
