This is my first grow. I wanna know how these plants look to advanced growers, what nutrients I should be using (feeding schedule) and what I should do from here on out (based on the plants look). Any additional comments would be appreciated. The strain is OG and it's at 3 weeks (veg state). I have alot of nutrients to work with. Thanks guy and stay stoned!
Here's how I feed the plants.
- 20 gallon of water bucket
- PH level is at 5.5
- HyOx H2O2 Oxydizer (80 MG)
- Let it sit for 15-30 mins before adding additional nutrients
- Delta 9 Sillicate (100 MG)
- Sensi Bloom Part A (125 MG)
- Sensi Bloom Part B (125 MG)
- Mother Earth Bloom Botanicare Pure Blend Tea (100 MG)
- Grandma Enggys Extra Pure H2 (80 MG)
- Grandmas Enggys Golden Honey F1 (80 MG)
- Advanced Nutrents Liquid Carboload (90 MG)
- Mother Natures Choice Authorized Hygrozyme (250 MG)
- Big Bud (160 MG)
- Botanicare Cal Meg Plus (120 MG)
- X Factor (130 MG)
- Bud Candy (100 MG)
- B-52 Fertilizer Booster (150 MG)
- Check PPM (make sure it's not over 1300, add water if over 1300 to decrease PPM level)
- Check PH, make sure it's at 5.5
Please tell me if I'm feeding them wrong. Thank you!
Are you mixing all of this at once, or is this the list of shit you will use throughout an entire grow? I think you are using way too many additives, but I understand you have to buy 50 different bottles to get a complete feed if you go with AN.
There should be no need/reason to ph your water until after mixing nutes.
You are using AN bloom nutes for veg... which is fine I guess... but for me I would be more likely to use cheap shitty miracle gro than AN. It is a company purely designed to price gouge the fuck out of weed growers through marketing and bullshit. Weed is not special, if you wouldn't feed your 14 additives to a tomato plant, you're doing it wrong. You can grow dense heavy dank as fuck nugs with a good complete base nutrient. That said, you can grow some bitchin weed with AN... but you have to be a fuckin scientist to do it. And any time I talk shit I have to throw down the disclaimer that I have never actually tried AN, but on the other hand you don't have to eat a turd to know it tastes like shit. You have to be careful using so many additives; if you get too much of one element it can lock out other elements resulting in a deficiency. Which you will then try to correct by feeding more nutes which will certainly not help the lockout and you will have a train wreck.
You are also apparently pumping them full of bloom nutes and bud hardeners (none of which work or do anything IMO), yet they are in early veg. You can probably throw all that shit away and not notice a difference other than your plants would probably be more stable. If you really want to use hardners and sweetners, some good/better alternatives to AN are Hydroplex or Koolbloom for pk booster and Botanicare Sweet for carbs... they make black strap molasses too which I've never tried cuz I do dwc. You don't use them until mid - late flower btw...
You are wasting your money with benes because h2o2 kills them. Keep running the tea, you can drop the h2o2 (use it for cleaning your equipment, although I just use bleach), don't need the hygrozyme because benes will make their own enzymes/food.
This is what I do... tap water, silica, let sit for 10 min, $15 bottle of dyna-gro Grow, aquashield (benes), ph down... done. Cal mag late flower because I have low ppm tap water and get calmag defs. Less is more... get a grow dialed in first, use a simple complete base nutrient. If you like Botanicare check out pure blend pro grow. Other good choices are Dyna-Gro and General Hydro three-part. I'm not a fan of the one-part General Hydro FloraNova, it is too thick/muddy and stains roots brown in dwc. Feed lightly, they will tell you if they want more. If you over feed you will burn your plants and fuck them up and fuck up the ph and possibly kill them. If you underfeed, it will just slow growth. Once you have a couple grows down and dialed in, then start experimenting with additives etc etc.
The edges of a couple leaves are boating up which I hear is a sign of over fertilizing. 1300ppm I think is too high for those plants if you are talking about x0.5 ec conversion scale. Looks like the plants might agree, but overall they look excellent.
What kind of lighting you have going on? Looks like you could use a few more lumen.
