HZ Grows Dr. Atomic Northern Lights.
- Thread starter Hash Zeppelin
- Start date
I originally had it so i could lower lights separately, but there is no need to even move the lights. The soft duct in the middle will all be gone soon.
So I was recruited to test out the Mills line and I'm loving it. Also adding APTUS once a week and not sure if it's benefitting or hurting. Everything looks great I just notice camouflage patterns at the new growth of lighter green, but it seems to somehow correct it self? Anyways I have 3 trays of Gorilla Glue in coco, and a gumbo table og Louie, 4SD, Cookies, AlpineAnimal, and an "uncirculated" og from my homie OG Kushman in LA in soil. I really wish I would've went all soil, because if I did I wouldn't even have to PH anymore. I get a steady 6.0 and it's stable so your PH issues have me wondering if it's more to do with the Calmag or Aptus? Regardless we'll talk soon I'm sure. Keep up the great work buddy!
I like the mills so far. I have been using that greenstone version of cal/mag "cali mag" and it was causing me some issues. I cut the proportion in half and i'm doing better. I am probably just going to leave it out all together next feed. The aptus has basically been great I think, but will really show it use in flower.
I would love to know your feed schedule with the soil I'm still playin with mine.

My plan is running the base at 9ml starting week 1, then going up 1ml a week until I hit 14ml, then back down 1ml per week. Think my buddy who ran mills prior said 14 ml is around 12-1300 ppm, so I plan on capping off at 14. But that's purely experimental and mainly to do with the fact I want to run a lower ppm then I have prior. A hearty strain like the one you're running can probably handle more, but my old and cookies are finicky feeders so I have to curb my force feeding habits. Also keeping the coco PH 5.8-5.9 and in soil 6.0-6.1.
I over fed them and just had to feed them with regular water for about a week. I think I finally have the soil back on track. I am gonna start to feed them a light mix at 300ml the A and B for 40 gallons of water and see how they respond. I think if I follow the mills chart I only need to feed 2 or 3 times a week and the rest of the days just get plain water with molasses and aptus. Otherwise I think the light feeding schedule will suffice. What's your opinion. Is it better to feed less every day or more less days of the week? How often should I flush soil. Any input is much appreciated.

damn 
ok day two of flower. the ladies are bushing out again quickly after their preflower defoliation. getting good internode stacking. I am hoping this is a good start to big colas. I took a few shots out side of the tent so you guys could see with out the super light intensity.
...and some tent shots
Starting to bump elbows in there.
Gotta love a room full of full figured ladies.
Peace; 1TT

300 base at 40 gals = 7.5 per gal should put you around 700-750 ppms. Thats fine for early floeer but od bump it up over time. That pretty much goes without saying though. Also i only use regilar water 1once a month and really its not all that needed with Mills sonce its very clean and lacks large salt build ups like lots of other synthetics. Mind you this is my first time in a long time to be working with soil, but so far everuthing is looking great.
We're gonna be side by side since i just flipped today/night. Looking forward to seeing your progress maybe ill start a thread too..until then buddy.

^that's awesome! I actually think I ran into the problem with the cali mag and not the mills. The mills is nice so far. I usually run indicas around 750-850 ppm anyways. the lvpk and the lw dont really like going over 800 in my experience.
I also noticed a few of my leaves having that cammo thing happening, but it doesnt seem to effect anything, and is very sparse.
I have another tent I just threw into flower of jack herer, platinum og, and some form of gs cookies. also some chem 4 in there i think. it's looking good too..... mostly. some of those cookies genetics look weird and I'm not growing them again after this even if they are dank.

ok so here is the tent with the jack herrer, platinum cookies, and chem 4.

the weird "platinum cookies"

here is the tent with what was told was Blueberry X Atomic NL not really sure if it is true, but we will see in the future.
here is the chem 4 out side of the tent. Truth be known though I dont know if it is actually chem4 and I have never grown chem 4 before this. what do you guys think?
this is the jack herrer out side the tent. again just a guess. Harbor side mixed some clones up for sure so now i have to wait and see what is what.

This is another tent of the Atomic NL I have going into flower next week. You can see two plants in the back there are not the same as the others. another harborside mix up.
this is those two plants. they dont like the atomic nl feeding schedule to much. I gotta customize those two.

They are Gorilla tents. Actually they are 9 feet tall not ten. I need to go fix that. they come 8 feet tall, but they have an extension set that I got for each to make them 9 feet tall. I might actually take them out next run. honestly it is nice to have the head room, and I run super lumens. 4400 watts in a ten by ten is more than enough. I might get better yield though if I bring the lights down more.
