Thanks kraving I greatly appreciate the kind words but I'm having a real difficult time with these gh nutrients getting them right it's severely cost me with my Mendocino purp and my exodus cheese

 

[Keef]

Bud -- I know it's not the same but I use the Batonacare stuff and I got no scientific study to back it up but I'm at about one third thier recommended dose !-- They say use 10 mils per gallon and I use 3 mils !-- I think it's the LEDs !-- I think U need less nutes under them !-- Don't know why or have a need to understand it !- Plants happy ? -- Keef happy !

 

[Budlight]

I just wish there was an easy answer but we both know there's no easy answer to this question it's all about trial and error

 

[Keef]

Morning O.F.C. !-- We got weed to smoke !-- Do your duty !--

I can give you the formula I run, it's been tweaked quit a bit but so far I can run anything I want and only make minor changes sometimes. Remember mmj is a Mg loving plant and most times it will veg fine but just before and about 2 weeks after it's gonna ask for more Mg, as long as you got that covered the transition from veg to flower should go well and mid to late flowering should be strong. Lemme know if you want some input from me on what I'm feeding, I'll be glad to pm you.

I use only these nutes: Grow, Micro, Bloom [I use cal/mag since I use R/O] and Liquid Kool Bloom and I also supplement with Epsom salt if needed [MGSO4]for a few weeks....thats my secret formula.

 

[Kraven]

Morning y'all...fixing to head out and do a bit of gardening, working with drying/ curing plants and time for the girls in veg to head to flower + three rez changes and a general clean up. Hope everyone has a good day. Peace

[WeedHopper]

Morning folks. Weedhopper is loading his stuff up in the truck to head home after work,,,,yehaaaaaaaaaa, ,,gonna be a short week and i get to go back home to my girls. Gonna hang 50yds of some Wall Covering that looks like wood.,in a Conference Room.
Hope my friends have a great day. Am i the only one that works? You guys mow your yard or something,,,potheads. :rofl:

 

[Keef]

Morning Kraven !-- I'm still trying to figure out which way is up ! -- I got a few more babies to take !-- I got lazy yesterday !-- I'm about out of Cal/Mag myself !-- How much Cal/Mag U use per gallon ? -- On res change for a new run I add 5 mils per gallon -- When topping off I use half that amount but everything else stays the same - I also add a scoop of Micos when I fill a fresh box ! -- I add EM1 about once a week too ! -

 

[Keef]

I'm a professional pot head Hopper !--
What up Dog ? -- Have a good day Cuz !-- I be back on 2 wheels soon !-- Scooting around !

 

[Kraven]

I use the same 5 ml per / gal. Then I top up by 20% when my pH has risen from 5.7 -6.2 and my ppm have fallen by 300ppm. So fresh mix I'm at 1600ppm/ 5.7 pH and then when it hits 6.2 pH and the ppm are around 1200-1300 I will add back 20% of a fresh mix to drop my pH to 5.8ish and up my ppm by about 200...then as my pH reaches 6.2 again my ppm are around 1100-1200 and it's time for a rez change, that takes about 20 days to go from a fresh mix to a topped mix to a re change. Hope that helps Keef. Also remember I have an automatic top off system built in so it tops the rez 2x daily with fresh R/O water at 0 ppm and 6.4 pH and I gas them pretty hard so they need tons of food to keep up with how fast I'm pushing them with the CO2. Peace

 

[Keef]

8 girls in a row sexing !-- I ain't ever starting any more seed !-- Unless I'm looking for a male !-- I think I used all my girl finding luck ! -- I had to make an ID tag change yesterday! -- I had GDP-x- BPU --#1-#2-and #3 girls-- They all look alike so now I just got just GDP-X-BPU on the tag ! -- I think I might be about at maxed out varieties !-- Lawdy do I got a few varieties !-- It's about to get complicated !--4 Bloom boxes and somewhere between dozen -dozen and a half varieties ---sexed female lines !-- Who goes to bloom when ?

 

[Keef]

1400 ppms ? -- WOW Kraven !-- With RO water starting at about 6 ppms -- With nutes and additives I have about 400 ppms !-- 600 ppms after a 2 month bloom run with no res. change ! - I like 5.8 pH. then let it drift between 5.4 and 6.4 -- It hits either I adjust !-- I only check it about once a week !--

 

[giggy]

morning ofc, hope all are well. still dealing with what doctors have told me but will know more tomorrow when i see the surgeon and what he tells me tomorrow. never heard of arthritis in the nerves. yall have a great one.

 

[Rosebud]

Good morning all, it is snowing here and i am not happy. lol

Giggy, when you have arthritis it can make bone spurs and lots of weird stuff. I read xrays for 20 years. The nerves can become entangled in the bone spurs and that hurts like heck.

WH, yay you get to come home today?

Kraven, thanks for the good infor this morning. sounds good. I really am disturbed by your avitar... LOL... it is so gross Kraven and I think of you as a pretty cute guy... I will adapt.
I might take a pic of my new little grow for ya'll. liking my new light. Seems the plants sexed sooner? is that even possible? Growing faster? beats me.

OK, i am off to check people in and pout about the snow. Have a great day all of you.

 

[Keef]

Good luck Giggy !-- I still got your lights it's just been a little chaotic lately !-- There's also something called neuropathy -- nerve pain !-- My facial nerve on the left side was frayed and only barely intact !-- Left side of my face just hung there like it was melting for 6 months or more !-- It slowly came back and is only a problem when a front comes thru !-- Causes some swelling, pressure and pain ! --I kinda live around it !
I do when I can and when I can't --I can't !-- Anyway I hope U get better soon !

Rose it's gonna be 75 and sun today !-- I'm sorry about the snow !-- Sexing sooner under LEDs ? -- I don't know how long it takes under other lights but with these LEDs some varieties show within 48 hours !-- Others take longer but none take long !-- I'm sexing a Snow Desiel and a The White -x- Black Rose and something else ? -- Anyway how do I tell this Purple Haze to straighten up ? -- The cuts are bushy and 2 week cycle after next ?-- Maybe the 1st ?-- I'm have to run a least a box of them !-- Been putting that loop in the Hoe Berry cuts as they stretch !-- Gonna have a mess of it too !-- White Widow is back with a vengeance !-- I'm need more bloom boxes in a couple months!

Kraven I would really really appreciate if you would do that that would be great hope you're having an excellent morning my friend

 

[umbra]

Good Morning OFC. I'm running a couple of testers in the garage to see how they would do under the new lights. The Apollo 11 smells like pineapple Cheetos, the f*ckberry smells like grape pixie stix, and the yeti x snowlotus smells like a sweet skunk.

 

[Budlight]

I think it just depends on the strain I have some that will tell me like you said in 48 hours and some that take a week that BB King she's pretty quick at telling you what she is i've had the nurse Larry in the flower room for three days now and she's just barely starting to show teasing me she's just teasing me and it's not right hahaha hope everyone's having an excellent morning

 

[Keef]

What up ya'll ? Been playing musical chairs with the girls !-- Some is missing but I think this is the line up and I got more than one girl of some !-- Plus some more I'm sexing !-- Starting to get complicated !
