The mh was 38k lux in the prime spot, the bar light is set 25" from the tallest plant 100% power, I’ve taken this reading from the the top of the shortest plant.
Have complete many, but around 17 years ago.
Recently started again and the littles are still in vegetative stage. I have a grow diary somewhere in this forum.
Nice one it’s like riding a bike lol.
You might be a little rusty to start but you’re already a accomplished grower, you’ve untold info your not aware of, your not starting from scratch so to speak.
I was expecting this after changing to led it’s not calmag related it’s the ec needs increased.
I mixed up a batch of 1.5ec yesterday so I anticipate them looking greener in a couple days?
Trying to track the progress of each plant is proving to be challenging, between a dodgy back and time available it’s not practical.
The 1st plant i defoliated to slow down is conveniently placed so I’ll keep updating its progress.
It’s at the front right
This might interest some of you, as I’ve mentioned i use run off as a guide to ec.
While using the Mh light i was feeding 1.2ec and getting 1.2ec in the run off.
In the last couple of days since using Led I’ve increased the ec to 1.5ec and I’m getting 0.9ec run off now.
I fully expected this it doesn’t fail, what’s surprised me a little is the height of light in relation to the ec, normally it doesn’t drop quite so much with the light 2ft away.
I’ll keep an eye on the plants but I suspect I’m going to have to raise the ec again.
Happens to me a lot,except I never saw a change in EC because I only grow under leds.I also expect a GREAT EC as runoff instead I got few hundreds less.
1.0 going in
0.7 out
Like that
OK sorry, I’m with you.
With a 0.2 difference that’s acceptable imo but in my case it’s dropping 0.6ec, that’ll fall again when I increase the light intensity then it’ll start to level out after 2-3 weeks.
Idk for sure but I read that as a sign of hunger, if it comes too high too frequent I lower it, ime it seems to work.
That means their hungry. Im at 2.5ec from seedling with led, and they look flawless. I drop ec slowly after bulking. Bump up that ec and watch them thank you.
It’s possibly coincidence but it appears to be a constant with the limited defoliating I’ve done, ideally I need clones to try it with.
Feeding them this morning i realized that they’re not drinking a great deal of nutrients it’s circa 300ml a day?
It’s on the cool side 24/25c the humidity is circa 70% ±6%
Eta…
February 23rd #3 plant is put on 2" the other 2 aren’t sprouting at the same rate circa 1/2" growth from them, i defoliated #3 again on the 23rd, I removed all leafs over 3" anything smaller was left intact.
The green tie wire is holding them until they’re repaired.
A couple of days ago I added a 135w led to give a bit more heat and even out the light spread.
I’ve also increased the nutrient strength to 2.0ec, i can see a few burnt/dried tips which i suspect it’s light related as it’s confined to a few leafs on the tallest plants, that’s just a logical guess idk know for sure?
@Josh_Blue hi buddy, it’s nearing the end of week 3 do you think there’s still time left for the blsu stretch vigorously?
Cheers.
Take it easy folks.
Eta…
Sown on the 6-7th on January, re potted on the 6-7th February and flipped a day or two later so approx 4 weeks veg and 18 days 12-12, as far as I can see they’re still throwing twin nodes!
Eta…
Light intensity…
40k lux max at the tops 30k lux max at the shortest the light is at 20" from the tallest tops 300w @86% (255w) + 135w = 390w
The blsu stretched up ablut 30% more than the star dream. Seems like your on pace. They can stretch up to 40% of the flower cycle, so up to around day 25 to 30. Maybe up to 35 to 40 days depending on how mature they were when you started flowering. Then there shouldnt be much besides flower development.
That tip burn may have been deficiency from the lighting demand. The increase in ec will help. Also if they dry back too far it can cause the tip burn.
Here’s a example of it, idk if it affects the end weight but imo it’s worth the trade off if there is one?
I’m still feeding 2.0ec ph 6.0,
Over the last 3 days I’ve seen a slight increase in the run off ec, for 3 days it’s been rising 0.1/0.2ec a day so it’s all looking good.
Eta…#2 Blsu has started to alternate nodes, from what I can see 1,3 are still twin node.
Love your work.The plant flower clusters are incredibly compact and fat.
To compare I have lowered my EC From 1 to 0.850 for the final 10 days.Seeds are Brown and very Little green hue,so I’ll give the plant 10-15 more days to accomplish its tasks.
Lowered temps too and wattage a Little.
Same pH,Rh lights on 58% and off 61-53%
Sorry bud I forgot to add, the size of the buds imo is genetic it’s not any magic trick or magic sauce lol, there was a plant in growing along with it only yeilded 62g with the same care, feed, light etc.
