1800w CHRONIC grow

[+Vibes]

good to hear you're figuring stuff out!
looking forward to the ensuing frost.... great job

 

[BigPhil]

i dont have any trouble keeping the tent cool. but i would think 1 600 and 1 400 would be better than a single 1k.. no?

I was tossing around the idea of either adding a 600 to my other 600 to replace the 400, or putting the 600 and 400 back in my old tent, 3.2x3.2, that would be like 98 watts per sqft.

thanks for the advice.
how do u like the chronic strain? i was thinking about purchasing it

2 600w would be better then 1 1000w and cheeper to run, as there only 600w u can get them alot closer, and it would be better as the lights would overlap in the middle making the lumens stronger, say 2 feet away 1000w 35.000 lumens, 600w 2 feet away 22.500 lumens x 2 where light overlaps 45.000 lumens

Day 22-

As you can tell, some look great, some look like the one pictured with the problems.

Any input on what problem it might be??

It looks like it has stopped getting worst once I started using tap water. I'm pretty sure it was a cal/mag deficiency.

Anyways, I added some Grandmas Molasses tonight to my watering to give some carbs and extra cal/mag.

I'm going to pick up some BIG BUD and Overdrive tomorrow. Big Bud through weeks 3-4.5, OVERDRIVE for 4.5-6.5, FLUSH weeks 6.5-9

Sound about right??

Thanks in advanced!

i try and flush every 2 weeks, keep saltbuild ups to a minium, but thats me, think alot of people only flush during the last 2 weeks, your plants look awsome good luck

[BigPhil]

as for your leafs it look like to me that i could be one of 2 things, potassium deficiency or manganese deficiency.

i have a pack of critical mass, should yeild about the same so im looking forward to see the outcome also

 

[bterzz]

Hey Big Phil, what is a good way to get some supplemental potassium?

thanks for the response!

Hola, heres that image

Like i said i have a few more photos of the others. but none have been outside and gotten into flowering..

i did however get that male i said before and pollinate a white widow i had turn to flower early on too.. (must remember not to put plants out so early next year)

 

[bterzz]

She's pretty!! Although, it is hard to tell at such a young age. I believe there is a "VERY indica" dominant leaf, a very skinny sativa dominant leaf, and a few inbetween.

Go for the ones in-between, in my opinion.

I personally didn't do the PHENO-selecting on my Chronics so i'm not really sure what to look for early-on.

Let that bitch grow and then compare/contrast with my pictures.

Keep up the good work!

 

[BigPhil]

a feed with somthing like a n.p.k of 2-3-7 the 7 been potassium (k)

 

[bterzz]

ohhh nice!! Maybe thats my problem!! What if I give it a HIT of something with a SUPER SUPER HIGH k

like, 0-12-54.

Does that look like Nutrient burn to anyone else?? Last night I looked at my ladies and most of them seemed to be getting the problem..

I was supposed to go pick up nutes today but I am very sick. But I still might cuz I need them bad.

 

[BigPhil]

or mix wood ashes into the water when u feed, it has a very high ph thou so ull need to lower it after, this is the only way i know how to get supplemental potassium

 

[bterzz]

wood ashes huh? Really? Pretty neat. Thanks a ton!

 

[bterzz]

Everyone had me thinking it was a cal/mag deficiency, or maybe some nutrient burn...but guess what Big Phil?? You were absolutely 100% correct.
Or so I think. I'm getting some food with NPK and I'm gonna continue feeding with my TAP water.

Mag deficiency

Potassium deficiency!! (BINGO)

 

[BigPhil]

thats cool im glad i got somthing right hahahaha. i thought on your pics it looked liked they need some K. Nice1 glad of been of some help

 

[Technique]

Cheers, i've put her into veg again hopefully.. under my fluro's

hope you get your problem sorted! i really really want to see how it goes! sorry i cant be of any help.. i was an outdoor dirt farmer with little problems ever before i moved inside haha..

going on my other seedlings. and in the system i have 3-4 different looking ones.. none really sexed yet tho other than the small one you saw..

 

[bterzz]

Ok rumor has it, it IS a magnesium deficiency.

I picked up some Epsom salt. Hopefully I can fix the problem b4 I ruin my crop. Things are getting worst daily, thats for sure.

hi bterzz. Nice grow you got going. It's looking really good. On 11/4 you posted some pictures from a book showing some nutrient problems and how to solve them. If you don't mind could you share the name of the book or the author? It appears to be very informative, especially for a beginning grower like myself.
