I’m still trying to get a hang of posting pics. I have a timber 250 true watt cob cree led and it’s a great light. First grow using cyco coco pearl 70/30 blend.
I got a really shitty camera. The critical kush is a nice little bush and as you can tell the liberty haze is a beast. Just an unruly beast. I’ve chopped her, super cropped her and started to flower her when she was only 15" tall. She is now a 4 foot monster taking over my 62" tent. She has grown way past the light and I have her tied all over the place so her buds aren’t being bleached by the light. They are both hit 4 weeks flowering yesterday.
yah those hazes like to do that! i havnt grown critical kush but ive smoked it and it was great… bro your gonna be cutting it close in that tent how much more room you got
Its been 94 here the past 2 days and we had torrential down pours today with humidity at %100 both days, but I’ve been holding steady at 55 rh and 81 temps with a dehuey running 24/7. A little to hot for my liking. I really need a portable ac for down here ( I’m in my basement) and there are no windows for venting the ac, but I can cut a hole and have access to vent outside. Money’s a little tight at the moment. Had two birthdays in 3 weeks for two teenage girls but soon as I can I plan on getting the ac.
Tried chem d before, pretty potent stuff, never grew out any chems or G-13’s before. I have a couple Acapulco gold seeds I got as freebies form barneys also, can imagine how tall those would get!
sorry if its a shitty pic. Cal, or mag may be? Potassium? Started after I tried cutting down the calimagic by a measly 1ml. I use ro water, so have been having to add cal/mag. The critical kush is just fine with 2.5 ml a gal while the liberty haze gets all pissy with anything under 7 ml per gal.
Every feeding. They both get fed twice a day. The critical drinks about 80 oz a day the liberty drinks about a gallon. I mix the nutes 2 gallons at a time. The critical gets 2.5 ml of cal/mag per gal. Ph’d to 5.8. The liberty gets 7 ml per gal, ph’d to 6 cause that’s where she seems to like it.
And sorry man, I just tossed that leaf, but it’s only affecting the upper and middle leaves closer to the lights, and only the liberty haze has issues.
Thank you very much for that chart, and I was thinking calcium to. Heard about adding tap, but my water here is so hard it leaves calcium deposits all over my faucets, so been kinda nervous to add it. I guess as long as it’s not over 150-200ppms I should be alright?
I would say 100ppm and some calmag would be fine although if you wanted a more accurate way to measure, you should put the right ratio of tap water to feed to make you cal/mag the right level relative to your feed strength.
Depending where you are, you could get a water quality report from your local water company. In the UK they have to supply you one for free on request so most companies put one on their website (you may have to hunt about for the PDF download that has the actual info in it)
Then you would know exactly how much of each chemical was in your water, so you would know how much to leave in to get the cal/mag ratio for your feed strength. You may find you do not need to buy any, just get the right amount of tap water left in your tank.
Here is a water report for Mayfair, London, UK (PDF). It shows the TDS (in us/cm) and amounts of each chemical (calcium, magnesium etc in mg/l) in the water, as well as any bacteria (if any) and other contaminants.
After getting the report for my area, I found myself trusting the water much more than when it was an unknown quantity because I knew how much to put back in to get enough Cal, Mag, and other micro nutrients.
I also found that they try to limit the mag in the water to 30mg/l or less as it is a useful nutrient for brewing but more than 30mg makes beer bitter TMYK
