allright, here's my current setup in veg--
9 fem white queen
5 gal buckets, cut down to maybe 3-3 1/2 gal
hempy!
100% perlite
1000 MH, recently added 6 100 watt cfls
veg for 11 weeks so far
i give em-
6 ml GH floramicro
10 ml GH florabloom
5 or 6 drops of neem oil
1/2 ml superthrive
1/4 ml calmag
4 or so ml of hygrozyme
ph up/down when needed
all amounts go into each gallon...i feed em every other day, i mix up 3 gallons and disperse nearly even among all 9 plants, i recently made up 4 gals, and they were a little weighty still after 2 days...
to me it seems i am adding quite a lot and throwing a ton of ppms in each gallon...no ppm reader...
i usually use 2 or 3 day old sitting water, distilled a couple of times.
ok, here's the stuff i have for flowering-
same GH micro/bloom, but i'll stick with the lucas formula and use 10/16
-discontinue use of superthrive
-i have a big ol jug of AN overdrive
-picked up a 40 gram bag of AN bud blood
Dutch Masters reverse
Dutch Masters zone
first off, not sure if i'll need the calmag anymore, i figure 1/4 ml can't hurt much...probably still use neem oil ($16 for a little ass bottle!)
using feminized seeds, i wanted to get some reverse...i have a litre, and it seems to go quite a ways, but my plan with the reverse is to spray em down with it around week 3 of flowering, then again 10 days later, not even mess with missing a male sac...does anyone who's messed around with this stuff a lot know if reverse works like that? preemptively striking and all?...
i have 2 4 inch fans inside 4 inch pvc tubing, sucking air from an a/c, but i'm lucky to hit 82 degrees...i had a problem with green algae in my perlite, but with hygrozyme, the algae eventualy cleared up...from what i've read, zone is supposed to be the shit, just trying to get some feedback from someone who's used it...
one of my main concerns right now is eventual salt build-up. when i have been watering, i have not been watering til runoff (and missing out on a partial flush). when i first transplanted into the 5 gal, it took almost 3 times as much water to runoff as i'm feeding currently. after FOUR days (after watering 4 gal hempy til runoff) there was a ton of water in there, i even tipped the 5 gal to drain out all i could, ended up not needing to water that one for a week. there is no way i can have sitting water for days and days at a time. my temps are routinely hitting 90-92, and my room really doesn't bug-proof all the way. just last week during a feeding i added an extra 15 oz of water, and i went an extra day before watering, so i know adding almost a gallon of water is not going to be gone in any short time.
i'm thinking my best bet would be lower the res hole down to maybe an inch or so...but so far, after, i dunno, a dozen-fifteen feedings, there's nothing showing as far as a salt buildup, no nute defs, nothing...so i'm also thinking maybe plan on flushing twice or more during flowering...
bottom line-anyone who knows anything about what i'm talking about reply back
