Is there anything else I can do to increase my yield?

[Porky101]

I would actually back off a little.. the tips of your leaves are turning down.. Brown tips...classic sign of over feeding ..
lookin really good.. I can almost taste it!!

Thanks man. I flushed her with phed water. How many days should I flush for coco??

 

[Porky101]

I can`t imagine what that would do if you hit it with a triacontanol follia even just spray all the fan leaves with it

Sativa`s explode hard with that stuff right uptill their dead indicas normally after week6 it`ll just frost/gum them more add some weight but the african Mozam I did even after 6 months of 10/14 when I hit it with triacontanol it shot out tons of fresh hairs and buds still think I took her down a bit early, never had such a piney sativa before

I have sourced the triacontanol and should be getting some this week. Very excited

Let me know how your plants respond I may have to get some also !

 

[Porky101]

I just realised the triacontanol I sourced is mixed with some sort of fish extract... Is it still OK to spray it on?? Otherwise I'll have to get the pure version which may take a bit longer :/

I would do a short flush, skip a feeding then go back to your schedule..if your leaves still curl repeat!!

I'm a bit confused though... My plant is giving my mixed signals...


It's leaves are yellowing = hungry?

So I feed more... Leaves still yellowing (I can literally see the lower leaves getting the nitrogen sucked out of them!)

And then I get burning!?

Please help me understand this??

 

[HydoDan]

As a plant matures it naturally starts feeding on its reserves. Even though it has plenty of nutes it still feeds on the lower fan leaves.. turning them yellow.. most of the time with nutes less is better!! Hope this helps!!

When did you check for bugs last ? yellowing leaves are normally npk, ph, age of plant or insect attacks normally a mix of things at the same time hard to keep on top of that with a long flowering strain

No bugs, NPK is fine. Been feeding pH @5.6-6.

She is sitting in her own water from the runoff... About 5mm deep... I have hydroton at the bottom of the pot... Could this be an issue?

yes take away the stones dig around bet you find something rot or bugs living down there how long since you cleaned that bit out ?

 

[Porky101]

Been like that for about 4-5 days. I'll clean it up when she wakes up

*UPDATE*

So I have cleaned up the water she was sitting in. her pot is pretty heavy still so not going to water her today.

Should I water her tommorow and feed her like usual?

The lower leaves are getting more and more yellow by the day....

 

[HydoDan]

I would wait for the pot to dry out (get lighter) before I did anything!
She's probably water logged!

 

[Porky101]

Gotya.

By tommorow it should be lighter, then ill feed again bloom blend @ 1.0EC PH 6. 16-8-24 is my latest blend im using.

4x 300w Mars hydros.

If that was two 600 watt HPS lights, you'd be increasing your yield by at least 25%. Probably closer to 30%.

So your saying I need more light?

 

[TacoMac]

Yes.

What you have works, and works well, but it's simply too weak to really give you full blown grows. Read your own documentation. Your lights in flower mode are only strong enough to cover a 1.5 x 1.5 foot area at best. That's only 2.25 square feet. That's not really even enough to grow one single plant to its full potential.

A 600 watt hps light can do a 4 foot by 4 foot area with ease. That's 16 square feet. In the end, a single 600 watt HPS has more growth potential than all 4 of your 300 watt LED's combined. With ease.

Two of them and man, you'd SMOKE your current grow by a long, long ways.

 

[Porky101]

OK, you have my attention.

I figure I am running 1150W (draw) in a 4x4 tent. Is that not enough??

So should I swap out my leds by adding another 600w? I think the heat will be too difficult to control? My tops are @ 80F currently (measured using flir) ....

What you think?
