T5 756W closet of BLOOM

[TheCapn]

Thanks Doc. I actually meant to say "T5" instead of CFL. Anyway, I'll be watching. I can't wait to see how it finishes up.

 

[ArizonaMeds]

yeah those bad boys are kicking a$$

 

[Croptober]

They look good but a little light?

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

Yup yup.....underfed and screaming for N. Live and learn, but hey that's why I went back to basics.

I have addressed the nute issue and I will be grabbing some nitrate of soda for the N, but both will take a few days before I expect I'll see a large improvement.

Cheers m8's.

 

[Croptober]

Nice that should do the trick.

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

@ 4 weeks flowering.

@ 4 weeks flowering.

Okaaaaaay. Went shopping and struck out big time. Now I'm thinking on their next feeding I'll hit them with grow and fish at the same time and try to really push some N. Unless anyone has some sound guidance.

The good news is the smells, oooooooooooooh babe the smells. Wafting down the hall when I leave the tent open.

 

[Croptober]

Do you have a carb source?

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

Like some black strap? Not on hand but should be easy enough to get.

Do the carbs help make the N more available.

 

[Croptober]

I'm super baked smoked way to much hash right now, but I'm pretty sure carbs feed your micro herd and thus transfers into better bud production during flower. That could be bullshit though I'm having a hard time believing it myself aha. You're using biobizz right?

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

Yup biobizz. It was great in veg, but once I hit flower I don't know if I was feeding to light or what but they plants are def lacking something.

Anywho yea Iv heard the black strap thing in the past, might be just what they need.

I like to give a good source of magnesium when going into flower. Some strains are more prone to going deficient and I find that helps in most cases. But by the looks of your bud shot I can see a bit of purple to the edges?

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

Yea the purple really came out late in veg, in regards to the mag last week I started giving them 1ml a L of GO cal/mag. (About a teaspoon per gal.). Maybe I need to bump that dosage up?

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

It's good bag seed from a co-op in WA I just can't remember what it is. When the purple first started to show a friend thought it was GDP but I have no clue, I don't know my strains by look yet.

 

[Croptober]

Sometimes the purpling is from phosphorus deficiency. But if it looks natural then its probably not a deficiency just traits of the strain. Are you using RO?

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

No, using a boogie blue hose bib filter.

 

[Croptober]

Oh just wondering. Do you ever give them just plain water?

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

I try to fed fed water. Then repeat about every 2-3 days depending on how thirsty they are.

=) getting a bit of couch lock, love bong rips for breakfast.

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

I'd like to go RO for more stability but at my current location/$ situation it'll have to wait.

Last I checked my PH's they were between 6.5-7 so I don't think it's a lock out more of a deficiency. But then again that's a complete WAG on my part, I'm still a greenhorn.

 

[Croptober]

Ayyy me too I just tried my platinum blue dream and I must say I'm very pleased. I go to my local grocery store and fill up my 5 gallon jug for a dollar once or twice a week cant beat .20 for a gallon.

 

[Dr. Cannastein]

Doh! I walk past that all the time.
