Title basically describes most of it, then I have two fans inside to cool the ladies and one 4" inline. I've got a dehumidifier and a reservoir too if I want to ebb and flo, but for not I think I'll be hand watering since my luck has been shit for the past few grows.
If ya don't know me then here's some info, been growing for about 6 years now and had shit on lock for a almost the entire time. My past three or four grows have all been horrible, and I'm not sure why, if I knew what I was doing differently I'd try to change it. The only thing different could be my ebb and flo set up which I have not been properly flushing from the top and I believe the salt build up has really been the problem. Take into consideration my very last grow, my Green Ice strain finished in half of the time of the other strains and was very very dank, I was very happy with how it turned out. Since it finished in half the time, it didn't build up on salts. The other plants went about 2-3 weeks longer and by the time they were done they were burned to shit, lack of flavor/smell/resin, and were fluffy, pretty much like hemp!!!
Well any way I have been busy the past few weeks and when I got around to transplanting lets just say the girls weren't too happy. They were very rootbound but getting good food(800ppm and 5.8PH) and good flushing (RO water and 300ppm) so they were growing a bit.
Anyways I have 1-GDP(looking ok, strong branches yellow leaves), 1-Stardog(looking ok, almost sad and my buddy said needs more phosphorus), 1-Chem D(same exact state as stardog), 1-Bubba and 1 Platinum Kush that both look pretty decent, and the rest are Alien Dogs which my buddy keeps telling me need more cal mag because they have very skinny leaves/curled leaves and are also kind of weak and I know this cut has been strong for other growers and even grew very well for me in the past, outdoors.
Basically I think everything needs more food for sure, I hate going by EC because my ppm is always at a decent level but then my EC is high as fuck and its a new meter and my old one used to do the same thing....I really just don't know how to go by the EC and ppm together, so I follow just the ppm and PH. I'd love a few people chiming in, please help me!!! I'll describe everything I do, I just want these bitches to come around.
They have been vegging for about 2 months 24/7 now(have always done 24/7 lights for veg and it works great), just transplanted 5 days ago. They get some Magic green spray once a week. Bug free as far as I can tell now, I dealt with several different bugs(had spider mites, thrips, root aphids, and gnats).
Main nutrients are Aqua Flakes A and B but I also have Cocos A and B which I will use when I run out of AF. They are basically the same nutrient. Then H & G Multi Zen and somtimes Drip Clean. Botanicare Cal mag and Silica Blast.
Been feeding at 800ppm-5.8ph. 6ml A/gal and B/gal, 5ml/gal cal mag, 4ml/gal silica.
before transplant, this is one of the Kushes and remember they are happy! The Alien Dogs all had weak ass roots, really weak.
