Budolskie.

I have the same pH pen.

Word of warning do not store in buffer 4 as suggested in the leaflet. Plain tap water or KCI storage solution only.

Make sure you soak it in water as per instructions and calibrate it regularly.


NEVER LET THE GLASS PROBE DRY OUT.


IF IT DRIES IT DIES!!!!!!

I can't say it enough. Otherwise £65 down the pan. Lol.

That little sponge, make sure you fill the cap with water a few times when you rinse it. Be careful though that sponge has a habit of coming out if the water is too fast. Lol. Had to save mine from the plug hole a few times. Lol.

So I'm making the switch tonight to 12/12.

I've also stopped using my Aqua Vega A and B NPK 6-3-8, and have gone back to Coco A and B NPK 5-4-3.

I'm sick of trying to fight Ca and Mg def with my mono bottles and not finding that happy medium of ml's of each Ca and Mg. the vega has 2% Ca and 1% Mg.

The coco has 5% Ca and 2% Mg. so it'll be alot easier now to deal with any Ca or Mg defs as they appear.


I think the added K of the vega was causing issues with uptake of Ca and Mg in the coco. Due to coco being good for K anyway!

So we'll see.

Will throw some pics on later.

yo bro only give half dossage of that calmag i do 4ml per gal every feed with nice results

its strong shit mate trust me you put 10ml like it says in a gal of water then check the ppm lol

 

[jondamon]

Here are some pics of the plants.

So I've switched everything to 12/12.

Current stats.

Temp hi 24.3C
Temp lo 18.3C
RH hi 57%
RH lo 34%
EC 1.4 going in
EC 1.2 coming out
PH 5.7-5.9 adjusting before feeding.

I have 3 mainline plants and 4 single stem clones. 2xCritical+ and 1 of each of the HSO strains.

When I read the title of this thread I thought "No, he's not is he?" 'Main-lining' use to mean something entirely different. hahaha, silly me

Looking good j lad im away for a new hps bulb the day to put in over weekend and up the watts to 600

 

[jondamon]

What bulb you going with?

I've used SUNMASTER DUAL SPEC, SYLVANIA GROLUX, POWERPLANT SUPER HPS.


All above are worth the money.



J

 

[budolskie]

Im not sure yet iv used a sun master before but I will look in shop and see what he says aswell as just for flowering that veg bulb was new aswell

 

[jondamon]

If its just for flowering the 2050k of the GROLUX is good. That's what I currently use.

Don't get hyped into buying anything expensive. Under £36 for a 600w should see you right.


I tried a generic £18 bulb for once when I was using 600's.
even that was ok but lumens where less.

The SUNMASTER has 95000. The powerplant has 95000 and I think the GROLUX is 92000.

Are you still gonna run the MH for the first 2 weeks of 12/12?



J

 

[budolskie]

Yes the mh is running now its been 5 days off 12/12, just gona get the bulb incase I decide to swap a few days earlier see how they go. Il get a few pics of each as I water today

 

[budolskie]

well heres a couple pics as i waterd, i added 10ml of the ginormous and 8ml of the cal mag.... no other nutes just yet set at 6.7ph and temp at 22c....

1st 2 pics the afghan kush
2nd 2 pics the blue rhino
3rd 2 the caramel ice
4th 2 the critical 47

last 4 of them together and the temp when i took....

 

[jondamon]

Isn't it nice when you walk in your room and it feels cool.

I love running my room at 25C.

Although not a full mainline it does look classy!

I think the only thing that "your way" will do is have some differing sizes of colas.

Everything looks green and healthy and perfect for a good flowering cycle.

Don't forget as far as Mg uptake and soil is concerned keep pH above 6.5 and don't let your soil get too soggy.


Think im gonna rep you for this m8.

[jondamon]

Sorry bro gotta spread the live around before I can give you more.

[budolskie]

ii they look good compared to previous runs, im quite happy with them my self. havnt been arsed to go for bulb yet like might give it a miss the day and hopefully 1 the lads going over weekend in motor save me the bus and walk

 

[gfrg888]

[budolskie]

[jondamon]

Alright big lad.

Well this will be my third attempt at posting 11 pics of my room.


I've supercropped the 3 mainline girls where needed to keep the canopy level as you can see from the pics.

Here's some dark destroyers I found with my son today while playing footie in the garden.



Pictures below we're taken yesterday. Day 2 of 12/12.
