Cool beans, Dawg, thanks. I didn't realize that it would double in size once I switched to 12/12... Good info. A dude at the local hydro shop said not to use nutes while it's in veg, just veg for 3-4 weeks and then go to flower and then after a week or so use some blooming nutes. He said just make sure my soil ph stayed at 6 and that's all I needed to worry about. He also said the local water didn't contain chlorine so it was fine to use.

anyway, my main man Goat what's the good word?

Think you've gotta feed Nutes during veg unless your soil had them in it.
Soil pH should be kept at 6.5 I think also.
Going good, going to harvest in about a week I think.. Will post pictures then.

Hey Goat- on the 190 light itself, the two switches are the same right? So if you're using 1 switch or the other it's working at 130w and if you're using both it's 190 right? Just curious I got confused because a51's website said 60w/130w/190w...

So germ/veg with one switch and flower with both I guess is what we're doing, right?

hey goat, this is pretty sweet lil setup! way to go man. I'm really interested in your canadian 50/50 organic nutes too. HOw do they work, do you know? I've been under the impression that the synthetics kill the microbe hoard and you end up without getting the benefits from the beneficials (i.e., among them, taste). Can't wait to hear the results! would you consider saving some of this current run to compare smokes? or do one girl totally org and one with the 50/50? Nice growin!
be easy,
Dr.J

Hey, right hand switch off if the switches are closest to you is 130w mode and both on is 190w, right hand on and other off is 60w i think.

Hey, Thanks man.. taken a bit to dial in!
I haven't actually used it yet, next grow will be the one with it the whole way.
I'm not quite sure how it works but it gets the yield/quality of synthetics and taste of organic some how
I will definitely be saving some from the 100% organic run and comparing after i've done the next grow!

Ye the light is amazing so far loving it!
Thanks mate, had a few problems but they're coming along nicely.

Ye they're awesome, still some growing to be done yet too.
I'm growing in canadian xpress max yield soil
Pretty much all that's available to me.
Plus it'll go with my nutes I have.

oh cool , i'm tinkering with the world famous subcools super soil mix , but getting the right cross over of ingredient for the UK is being a pain in the ass to say the least lol, ....i've found a thread on another forum about replacing the sweet lime/lime in the soil mix and using rock minerals instead , as i already know (outside of growing) that lime can lock out nitrogen somewhat ....the mineral subs i found make more sense , the guy that wrote the thread states ....6 parts high calcium limestone(90% or greater calcium carbonate)-5 parts soft rock phosphate -3 parts gypsum ...all 3 parts ...at a ratio of 1.5 cups per bag of soil used ....claims it kicks the ass of the supersoil mix an turns it into super dooper soil lol....yeah , its blowing my mind lol....but i do see the complete logic in this as the minerals will envoke all kinds of micro life which benefits any plant ....the full feed thing appeals to me organic -ish wise ....have you got all your nute trouble behind you now ?

 

[pharcyde11]

Canada , thats great , UK myself ...we live upon the same sensibilities , politeness , respect an manners lol...unlike some other countries ..(walks away whistling)....haha

Hah crazy, ye I don't have access to all the stuff to make super soil.
I'm not from Canada Lol, New Zealand actually.
Nute problems seem to be sorted now but very close to cutting so shouldn't matter Anymore.

Chill dude. These boards are informative for all of us, no need to be a dick to people. We're all here to learn. If you're just around to be a dick go to a different forum. Be respectful and others will respect you back.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, no fighting in my thread!
Will post some updated photos on Thursday! Pistils starting to brown and catlyxs swelling up really nice.
Closer look at trichs and they're around 80 cloudy 18 clear and 2 % amber.

^^^^^^^^^Likey^^^^^^^^^

Updated pics.
Another week or so left?

 

[goatlicker]

Decided to harvest.. Few pix here.
Not sure on weight yet, any guesses?
Put alot of the small buds that were quite dense into trim..
Would you guys class the smaller ones in the photos as popcorn or na?

Edit. Just smoked a bit of scissor hash and holy shit, some nice smoke..
