That is some nice work you did there with the plants im growing in a similar space 2x2x7 and i have 3 potted and rooted seeds going that i want to row to a little sea of green to maximize my space. I saw you used a 400W hps how many cfm's was your fan pulling? I wanted to do 600W hps and try to keep it within reasonable temp IMAG0593.jpgIMAG0594.jpgView attachment 2324722View attachment 2324726

Well I will say I kind of cheated by running my 400w digital ballast at 75% power (300w I would guess) most of the time, I did state this at the beginning of my thread though ;-).

Nice dude! I'll have to keep an eye on your grow, admittedly though I don't get to spend as much time on this site as I used to, or as I would like to for that matter lol.

Good grow and that joint is a few times bigger than I roll them! You said the GDP gave a strong head high and I wondered if you could expand on that.

I love the high off the GDP and think it has a bit of sativa in it as it does not lock me to couch and has an uplifting feel. I took mine at 11 weeks btw.

It is a strong high but not anything to upset or zone you out if you smoke within reason.

Well I've noticed that most of the time, when smoking the same strain, people tend to have different highs. I don't necessarily mean the head and body highs that are most often referenced, but some of the other effects. I tend to get a numb/tingly sensation in my forhead/"T zone" when I'm baked. This is what I am talking about when I said strong head high, should have been a little more clear guess lol. Its defiantly more of an up lifting high but if I wake and bake then I'll most likely not be doing much in that day (today lol, love my weekends). Also the strain of GDP I'm growing is a specific strain from a breeder, they call it Ken's GDP.

To comment on my harvest post, the main cola didn't lose much size at all during drying, and buds are VERY dense. Amazing stuff.

Also, made some ISO honey oil last night with the trimmings, yumm.

So my plant has what I believe is Mn. (Manganese not magnesium!) def. About 1% of the leaves are becoming yellow and have brown spots. From what I've read in the plant problems section of this forum this is the most likely case, but whether its caused by nute lockout of some kind or from nute toxicity I don't know. I'll post picks later when I'm off work.

I'm using FF tiger bloom and bud candy for feeding every other watering, but I did up the dosage of the tiger bloom this last feeding so that maybe the cause (Fed 6tsp/gal, bottle states 4tsp/gal for heavy feeding).

I got the plant on July 5th as a clone. Here are the pics as promised. If you have experience Mn def let me know if this looks like it or if you may know what is causing it, thank you.

Still haven't found a fix for whatever this issue is. As I said in my last post, it maybe a K def, so I picked up some "natures nectar potassium" (0-0-5) and applied a watering with the recommended feeding. Still no signs or it getting better, yellowing and spotting are still progressing. Flowers are still growing at a decent rate though so its not too bad.

Any luck with the girl, buddy?

Thanks for stopping by Jman, and no, no changes yet. The problem seems to have slowed but its definitely still there. Flowers are growing so its not completely halted bud production. I'll post some pics tonight if I remember to. Thanks again everyone for your help!

Love the link CD!

Bud looks real good, but that does look a little like nute burn now. The curling. But that brown streak down the middle and the green on the outside... hmmm...

I would never use the suggested Amt of nutes.......I would never use MORE than suggested Amt of nutes!! Those ferts are very, very concentrated!! Flush it! B1 may help? But with b1 your adding N...?? I know a seasoned grower who pulls off pounds of top notch bud, and says I HAVE to get General Organics Cal/Mag on hand!! He swears by it, as plants use all of it up, during bud. Good luck bro!
