Bitchin! +REP

Went to check on them and the strawberry cough's buds are damn near on the floor. So I did a half ass tie job lol. I'll get bamboo stakes tomorrow.. After tieing her up my wolfman arm hair was covered in sticky resin.. I gave them cal mag a day ago and now no more spotting or problem leaves. Just looks stoked, As am I.. I'd say I'm only half way and she can't even hold herself up, thats a problem I can handle.....

Tie them bitches up!! Lookin nice and frosty!

I love tying bitches up! Like you said, a good problem

Finally got a ph pen, got it calibrated.. makes me sad what i've been giving to my plants.. i phd water + nutes, and it was 5.5.. This might of been my problem all along.. Fed before lights off tonight.. Fed at 6.3-6.5 give er take.... Curious to see results, also uped the nutrients just a bit.
So I know my plants were cal deficent. So I got some Cal Mag, which seems to help. BUT my question is, is Cal Mag a nutrient? Should I be "feeding" every other water, or every time....? Since it isn't N, P, or K then a small amount ok every time? Esp if my water is generally low for Cal..? They seem to need more..
Any feedback appreciated..

Some people feed Cal-Mag the whole way through. And, yeah, the pH would definitely matter. Your plants couldn't uptake the Cal or Mag because the acidity was off. Check out this chart:

Thanks!!! Thats huge.. Sounds like I'm on track now..

After looking at that chart, looks like I was locking out P, Cal, and Mag.. Which makes sense going back a couple pages looking at my plant problems. It was all ph related and I was in denial about it because I didn't want to fork the cash out for the ph pen. Best investment to my grow.
Seriously LiveHigh thanks for that chart.

I feed with cal-mag all the way thru. You are prob right your plants just couldnt absorb the things it needed.

No prob, man. Glad to help

303, a gro shop dude once told me that most plant problems are pH-related.
good job gettin the pen.
livehigh +rep for that nute chart! ! !

Ha I had that chart hanging on my wall! I also use Cal/Mag all the way through

Landlord not stoked about the odor. Carbon filter or ozone gen? Or both...? Pros and cons? Anyone..? I have 2 animals I worry will get sick from ozone gen, but fear carbon filter won't do justice..? Last time I had one it didn't do shit...

ONA (odor neutralizing agent) works good for me and they're like 20 - 25$ for a little can that you just open up in the room. I'd use a carbon filter, if you can afford one, and also use the ONA.

What I have going is the air sucked out the flower room goes in a utility closet where the water heater is. It really doesn't exit the house... There used to be a dryer in there and theres 4" flanges that go outside the house, so there's venting holes that go outside one has a duct already there, unfourtunately its a 4".. all of them a 4".. 3 total.. but in winter isn't practical because we're generally under a couple feet of snow 6 months out the year, esp a shade spot.... I have the 6" duct blowing the stinky air sucking from flower room into utility closet with vents out in hopes it exits the house....
I know.. lol.. rigged
Now gotta make it right, I have $$$............
Gotta make solution tomorrow b/c told the landlord its taken care of. Now would ona gel in the flower room and in the utility room the excess air is being blown into going to do it? Or should I drop the 150 on the can 66 filter...? I just don't know where I'd mount it... I failed making that room access friendly, mounting that thing will be a nightmare.. and there heavy.. Any feedback appreciated.

Ozone generator, how do they work is what I'm searching for..... Also, just how bad for humans/animals.. I've read incredible things about them as far as removing the odor.. Mostly concerned for my dog. But she doesn't ever step foot in the room. Its not sealed by any means tho

I can't answer all your questions, but I do know that ONA gel works surprisingly well. I'd be very surprised if two of them didn't totally rid of your smell.

Does the Ona Gel smell like anything in particular? Does it mask or remove the odor?

It smells good, but it mostly just removes the odor. Odor Neutralizing Agent, etc.

Sweet... I'm going overkill and getting several ona blocks and carbon filter. The smell is extremely pungent and I wanna be safer than sorry
