LoLz ac goodness, now you can sit and watch the grass grow in peace >< and i bet the ladies will like it. BTW about the FLUSHING the riddleme way is right but you best know your nutes, me i have had experience with he deff while making it rain cuz am all organic, i mean fully no store bought nutes at all, so when i started making it rain ad get my lower leaves yellowing cuz of leaching and ad use manure teas which i din't know was low on nitro, so i added molasses and em to my feed which ensures instant nitro during the uptake while it wicks cuz it takes mucho nutes during that time and all is good. all i was saying is if your fighting a deff you should prolly lay of the flush cuz there is obviously something missing and flushing is definitely not going to help retain it.

Its all about what works for you and your garden, thats what I love about growing. I tried different ways and Making it Rain works for me and thats how I feed all my plants....Except my plants that are in hydro. I even Make It Rain in Coco Perlite Mix.

Mugan just curious about Molasses, what type of Molasses did you use that gives instant "N" uptake? I use Blackstrap and it blocks "N", thats why I use it with 2 weeks left in flowering. As far as really knowing your nutes, I disagree about that....what I do is start a low dosages and gradually raise with feedings and let my plants tell me if they want more or less. Not so much knowing your nutes as much as knowing your plants. Not being a dick or anything like that, if I came across like one I apologize as it was not my intent. I appreciate people's perspective of growing, thats how I learn!

Peace

Update time w/pics!

As soon as the lights came on there was a sound. It was the sound of drywall being punctured by a hole saw, tearing it to shreds in the shape of a rectangle. Shortly after this sound came something so amazing......... COLD AIR! w00t w00t! Next to brand new my boy hooked me up for 50 bucks. That's a sore dick deal right there. Can't beat it ;)

So I mounted the A/C unit in the wall tonight and I couldn't be happier. Well actually I would be happier if it was a few weeks after harvest time and I was smoking on some of my buds, but I must be patient!

These blue cheese plants are freaking ridiculous... I trimmed these things a few days ago and they need to be trimmed again already. The node spacing is really really close on these babies. Just look how bushy they keep getting...

Now earlier I posted about some type of deficiency on a few of my plants. It's not out of control and the worst of it is on two of my cheese plants. I'm not super worried since it's only a few leaves out of the whole group of plants. I took a few pics under the HPS and a few under a normal cfl:

You can see the dark/black spots mixed with a hint of yellow. I've been looking all over for what it could be but most of the deficiencies are hard to tell apart. I haven't given them much in the nutrient department so I'm sure it's lacking something. Next feed will be a nutritious one so maybe it will level out soon. If anyone thinks they can pin point the issue, feel free to let me know and thanks in advance.

Here's all the ladies enjoying their newly installed A/C!

Oh and I ended up supercropping a few branches on a couple of my master kush and cheese plants. I love how they grow back knuckles that are not only stronger but twice the diameter of what they were before the SC.

Stay tuned cuz my c02 controller (chhc-4) and timer (mdt-1) will be fixed and running Thursday! Hope you enjoyed the update!

Looks like Potassium Deficiency to me.

its not the molasses its the EM(effective micro organisms) they turn it into nitoro and ammonium as they get activated, kinda like brewing yeast how they make alcohol almost instantly as there introduced into a syrup. , am not sure what corp we get our molasses from it comes in large amounts i never really ask ><

Dubbz.. no need to get into all this technical stuff .. just give em a really mild feed.. including some micro nutes.. and it will start to clear up.. go slow.. and increase slow.. you will learn what girls like what.. I have had strains look like that .. and bounce back in a week once they get a mild feeding... dont worry about it....

Now if you feed and it keeps getting worse then yes.. its a problem.. but mild deficiencies after a flush is pretty common if you dont finish off the flush with a really mild nute solution.

Also not sure if your nutes are the same .. but my micro has a ph buffer in it... so you need to mix that into your water first then follow with bloom .. grow whatever components your using ... Good luck.. keep us updated !

How did you know I don't like getting technical? haha What you told me is what I was thinking, so thanks for the assurance. The flush I gave them washed their nutes away. I fuct up by not feeding right after the flush, but hey I learned what NOT to do. Always feed after flushing, unless I'm flushing from over feeding. I won't panic until the entire plant looks like it's in trouble.

Quick update: My two Sentinel controllers are back up and running so my c02 is pumping at 1500ppm. Everything I have that pulls more than 9 amps is running on a separate circuit, just to be safe. I went out and bought three 50' extension cords and have them running everywhere. Each light, the a/c, the dehumidifier...all on their own 15-30A circuit. The temp in the room during down time is 74F and during run time it's at 82F. The rH is between 48-55% at all times. Tomorrow I plan to feed them a nice mild nute solution, unless they want it tonight.

Now I'm off to get some Mr. Nice from a guy I met on craigslist LOL Funtimez.

Sounds good Dubbz... I got tired of extension cords.. plus the proper gauge ones are expensive.. Check craigslist for a lic. electrician .. there are tons out of work since the housing industry took a dump.. I had one come to my house.. I paid $350 for him to add a 30 amp breaker.. and run 240v 8 gauge all the way to my grow room.. in brand new conduit. A 1000 watter at 240volts .. only uses 4 amps.. I could run 6 1000watters in that room with a 6 amp cushion... Another bonus is im completely off the house wiring.. only thing that goes into the house outlets is a few fans . Prob the best money I ever spent so far.. Lot easier to hide a grow also when people come over and you dont have to explain the extension cords running all over the house lol.

I won't be here much longer so having my electrician come back wouldn't be worth the money. When I find out how long I have to live here, I'll start looking for another place. At the new place I'll need everything done ahead of time so setting my equipment back up goes smooth (like that might happen lol) but I'll stay optimistic and persistent to make sure it gets done. I will definitely be going with 240...
It does suck having these cords all over but it's saving me from any hassle at the moment so I can't complain lol

Starting to feed them tonight but it's looking like the flush/feed idea might be key. As soon as I poured in 3 quarts of nute solution it instantly starting draining out of the bottom. These are 5gal pots, they shouldn't be draining that quick. I easily have over 2qts of run off...it's like the soil isn't soaking it up for shit.

Your correct, I forgot you use Organic....

Dubbz just be careful getting clones on Craigslist, you never know who they are and what your getting!

Since today marks the beginning of my ladies second week of flower, I decided to post some updated pictures. Nothing real exciting to report except my temp is at 83F and doesn't move. The humidity is hovering at 53-54.5% while lights are on and c02 is steady at 1500ppm.

The master kush was fed again tonight with a mild nute solution, maybe 1/8 strength. They seem to dry up within a day but figured I would water them every other day since they can handle it. The lemon skunk and cheese can go an extra day without it, so my feeding schedule is wacky for the time being. MK every other day. LS and BC every 2 days, unless they tell me otherwise.

The Blue Cheese:

I noticed that the all of the bottom leaves on the cheese and kush plants are drooping and rolling under themselves. For now I'm not too worried about it.

The Master Kush:

I didn't take many pics of the Lemon Skunk...

Looking forward to week 2!!

You're getting me all excited BKB! haha my ladies are in 5 gal warrior pots. If you're not sure what that is, this is a Warrior Pot. They provide added oxygen for the plant roots. Originally I was going to stuff the bottoms with hydro balls but never got around to it. Next time I will try that for sure.

He tells the truth! You're plants look amazing. Harvest will be so fun, haha. You might need help with those girls though.

Thanks man! I can't wait... the hardest part will be not smoking it all myself haha but if I need a hand you're all invited :P


So I take a peak downstairs this morning just before lights out and notice my room temp was at 89, which is way too high so I rushed in to find my duct work shredded!! I have a shoelace holding the duct work up in between the two hoods. I guess from blowing around constantly the ducting just gave way to the almighty shoelace lol Nothing a little foil tape can't fix! Let's hope it holds up and this is the last of my issues (lmao riiiiiiight!).
