Newb Closet Coco Grow, 400w MH+HPS

Mared I have a couple of questions again,
How often do you give your plants water and how often do you use nutes? in every watering? and if so how much?
I still have problems with my PH .....its low....and the white widows are not doing so good.

Oh, I replied to your thread without seeing these questions but I want to say again I think your plants look really nice. My plants have gotten thirstier the further into flower we go which seems to be the norm. The first couple weeks was every other day with occasional 3 day stretches when the coco seemed wet and the plants weren't "asking" for water. Then two days ago I tried a 3 day stretch and they practically fell over from thirst. So every other day from here on out. Also when the coco gets dry and light the plants are way more top heavy and it's easier for them to fall over.

I've been experimenting with my ph the whole time but have been lazy posting my results. I find the ph of the medium(runoff) to be very easily manipulated by what I put in. It's all about the difference between what you get out in the runoff and what you put in with the feed. It seems to change a lot depending on grow variables. If you look at Tetra's sweet god journal he uses low input ph but still gets high runoff. Maybe because he uses a rez and water loses the H+ ions over time, raising ph. My water gets ph'd and straight in. That's all I can figure because my plants like 6.0-6.3. I can work inside this range to keep runoff within the same range. So if I put in 6.1 and 5.9 comes out, I'll go with 6.3 input next time and the runoff usually comes back over 6.0. Same deal if runoff is too high. I'm not even 100% sure this is the correct method here, maybe Tetra can correct me. I'm sure it also varies strain to strain. Same with nutes. One of my plants can handle 250 ppm more than label strength nutes every water plus 100 ppm Calmag, the other not so much. It will only tolerate label strength(600ppm) plus 100 ppm Calmag. Wow, sorry for the long ass answer. I like your new avatar. Peace.

thats pretty interesting about the PH, I noticed close to the same effect in soil aswell.

Some Nice Pic's, Can We Get Some Shots Of Lights Out Time In The Big Room... The Cam Has A Flash Right.!!! Would Like To See Thoses One's!!!

If Yur Ph'ing What Goes In, U Dont Realy Have To Ph What Comes Out, Just My Thoughts... Both Are, Or Should Be Almost The Same If Drainage Is Occuring... Again, Cant Stop Thinking. Still Trying To Get Caught Up On This End.. Just Updated The J' With Some Serious Porn, Come Peek And Leave Some Comms... Db.~tlb!

Damn homey....I am gone for a little while, I get back and you're like Dr. Chronic. I like what I see man. Looks like you got the hang of it. Those plants are long as fuck yo.

I am 4 weeks into flowering right now. I abandoned pretty much everything from the htgsupply kit. I am now using a Habitat 44 tent with a DayStar AC reflector for Flowering and a 4ft 8-Bulb T5 in my closet for veg. I got some nice shit going...Wish I could post some pics but I am still working with the same shitty camera.

Holy shit, BK back from the dead!!! What's up bro? Yeah man, I can sort of laugh at our early "just trying to get the plants to survive" problems now. I've also got a little veg closet going with flouros. All my HTG stuff except the ballast is still in full effect but when you think about it, the ballast was the most expensive thing in my kit so that isn't saying much. I'm really happy with my plants so far, the smell is really like some of my all time favorite smokes. Hopefully I have time for a bigger update tonight after I transplant my last two clones still in the tray.

How tall are those plants?? they look pretty tall in the pics....is that still just off from 2 gallon bags??

Forgive me man, but you have close to 40 pages in your journal so I haven't been able to look through them all yet.

My tallest plant is exactly my height (6'2"). I have to stand on tippy toes to see the tallest bud. They haven't grown an inch in two weeks though. Still 2 gallon bags. More details on that in my next post.

Okay, I think this is the most pics in one update yet but I have a lot going on tonight. The last of the clones are transplanted. I ran out of coco so I had to reuse some from the plants I killed before. There was plenty of loose coco still in there but it was taking FOREVER to try to get all the old roots out. I tried to pick out the most I could but I hope it's not a problem to still have some root matter in there. I was worried about my big plants getting rootbound in those 2 gallon bags but their dead brothers had plenty of room in their bags.

I also got my carbon scrubber. Not the conventional kind but a stand alone unit. It works quite well. Before, walking into the bedroom meant getting hit in the face by dank smell like a ton of bricks. Now you can't smell it until you stand right outside the closet and poke your head in the door.

The buds are starting to get some color to them. Hopefully it shows in the pics. That's all for now. Enjoy.

Let me be the first to tell you your plants are looking SICK! great job man. Im guessing by the height white lady is a sativa how much sativa does it have in it. keep up the dank work man and awsome scruber man

Awesome blossoms, looks great. I just put in 3 hours of work, graduation day.

I feed right away too, I just use my drip system to deliver it.
This strain eats acid like you wouldn't believe, should call it Timothy Leary bud.

You should think about doing something like this, your ready, you can handle the bugs and diseases if they arise, I MEAN IT.

Yeah I need to get off my ass and build a setup that will maximize my space. A little effort now can minimize future effort in watering and maximize yield. I won't be able to use the same system I'm using now for the 7 clones when they flower - takes too long to mix a gallon at a time. I only have two more free weeks to put a lot of work into my grow room. (Not exactly free, I paint houses for 5 hours a day). Want to hear something funny? Mared Juwan has just been approved for a government security clearance, ha ha. I start my internship July 7.

Haha thats great Im glad my tax dollars are going to a good use. What exactly is the new job consist of?

Thanks. Here's the description of the strain from the site I got the seeds from. I couldn't find out much else about it.

White lady is a compact plant with an abundance of crystals. Few leaves makes this plant easy to manicure. With a fresh taste and an extremely high level of thc this strain is popular among growers and blowers
Flowering time 55-60 days
Inside cultivation
Sativa/Indica mix
Yield: app.400 grams per square meter


And look at their pic. Hmmm.

It's just an internship. I'll probably just be making copies and getting coffee for people for 6 weeks. I really just wanted the clearance. I don't plan on working for the government but the clearance can get you big money in the private sector. And the intern pay is pretty good for a student, too.

yeah im in my second year at FSU what about u

I'm a senior civil engineering student. I'm 25 though. I took a couple years to travel around Europe before college. Italy, Austria, Czech Republic. And everyone always asks but no, I didn't make it to Amsterdam. My background is 100% Czech and I just felt so at home in Prague I stayed there most of the time.

Some Nice Looking Pic's Mister Man! If U Got A Tape Measure Please Try And Get It In Some Pics, So That We Can Size U Up'... But Dont Get To Closs As They May Take It From U By The Way The Pics Looked... Saftey First. Have They Started Grawling Yet, When U Walk By??? Lol
Some Nice Porno~ Db.~tlb!

Hi all,
I was thinking it would interest a few following this thread to check out this other grow I've been watching. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/74067-5-white-widow-girlies-2.html#post987432 The guy has amazing plants and is using Monkey Juice but he only has Grow Part A and Flower Part B. I told him I don't know what impact it will have during flower (he's in week three I think) to not have the Part A. The more I think about it, it can't be good so I was hoping someone with a bit more knowledge of the Part A - Part B relationship could help him. Just read the last 4 or 5 posts and you'll get the idea.

hey mared my plants reached 1 wwek 2day should i start the 18/6 or will they grow faster with a 24/0
