2nd grow - potential nutrient uptake issues?

[KryptoBud]

Hi Guys,

Im nearing the end of my first grow and i have purchased a hanging drying mesh basket, once my plants are complete i am going to put all my buds into this basket and hang it in my grow tent to start drying them out, the questions i have are as follows

1. What do i leave on in my tent when drying, i take it i obviously need to leave my outake fan on as that is attached to my carbon filter, but should i leave my intake fan on, and should i also leave my clip on fan on to circulate the air?

2. What temperature should my tent be for the drying process?

Thanks in Advance

I dont remember saying cutting leaves off makes the plants better? I also cant remember saying much of anything you said to be honest, also how would you know how many grows i have done? All i was giving was the opinion of my own grows and my own plants, and how things work for me, that is what people do on here they dont give information from someone elses grow they give it from their own grow and i remember my first grow i yielded around 3zs a plant but since then i have used defoliation numerous times and have always hit 4zs/6zs per plant if that is not an improvement i may need to go back to do school to work on my Maths

I also have a good few people around me that do the same and have better results, and to be honest if this isnt the case i apologise but all the information i was given was actually off this site from some well known members so if they are wrong aswell then so be it

Read this and then tell me i am wrong, this guy has been growing years and years over 30 years to be precise

Hi guys, this is my first post on here but I need your help!

I'm currently just over half way through my second grow (the first one was pretty bumpy as I made a lot of balls-ups) but everything was going absolutely swimmingly second time around until last week when I started to notice signs of either nutrient burn / lock out ... but I'm not quite sure exactly what it is i'm looking at.

Seeing as you lot are the experts I thought I'd be better off asking you lot for your opinions on what you think the issue may be. Here's a full list of my set up:

- Northern lights (photoperiod) grown from seed
- Plagron light mix soil with approx 30% perlite
- 10 litre airpot
- 180w UFO led grow light and 2x23w supplementary cfl's (all about 10 inches from top of canopy)
- 1 x 4 inch ventilation fan with carbon filter attached
- 1 x 4inch circulatory fan
- Average temp's 19 - 23 degrees c.
- General hydroponics 3 part nutrient system (grow, flora & micro)
- Plant magic magne-cal
- Un-sulphered black strap molasses

I feed approx 2.5 litres every friday at around 1100-1200ppm and water approx 2.5 litres with just magne-cal & molasses added every tuesday at around 350-450ppm.

I ph my feedings and waterings at around 6.2 and run off reads at around 6.6.

I'm a bit stumped as I did so much god damn homework before starting this one and I can't figure out what it is?! Going by diagnosis photo's on google I presumed it was a calmag issue but I feed 1.5-2x the recommended amount on the bottle and also supplement with molasses... HELP ME PLEASE!

post#21 that your post from oct

This is 6 months ago i could have done 40 grows in 20 different places for all you know

In reality i could of grown more plants than you in 6 months than you have grown in 15 years or am i wrong again?

Anyway we should just agree to disagree, you obviously know everything so lets leave it at this, i say defoliate you say dont, then that is that isnt it

At least someone is just answering instead of trying to put a downer on what other people put!

Dude that's your fuckin post nearing the end of MY FIRST GROW
putting a downer oohhh cry me a river imagine how people might feel reading this thinking you might have a clue what you're talking about try it and ruin their crop cuz you wanna play big shot online. Never said anything to you, I told the op leave the leaves alone that's it,the plant is clearly stressed already, but you wanted to debate it saying how good it work on all your grows since the first one six months ago. Even after I posted your post from oct. saying it was your first grow you still want lie insist that you have some proven methods. I really didn't want to be a dick but reading shit online and tellin someone whos already having problems how great it works isn't cool. You need to have a baseline to know what advanced techniques work for you period. Reading it on a web site doesn't mean shit too many people like you swear to it when they're fucking clueless. I can be on an airplane four times a month doesn't make me a pilot.

I am not saying pull the leaves of this actual plant, im just saying for future reference his plant looks over bushy, people have there own methods mine works and i have provided proof of that

Steve

His plant isnt bushy at all and if you look, its already growing through a crate. anyways you should mention to only defoliate healthy plants in veg.

Nice bro you did 40 grows in 6 months? What's it like to harvest 40 separate rooms? Can you harvest all 40 locations before anything over-ripens lmao?

I believe you should get to know ones setup before swinging advice his way.

-defoliation is a fix for poor ventilation & lights , a non defoliated plant in an optimal environment will actually outyield the defoliated plants. I've tested it myself for 18 months straight on 6 different clones.

Also, how would watering 4 times a week instead of two times a week not overwater and lock-out his plants? A better way to put it is he should water when dry and always let it run-off.
