Kali mist and Northern lights First Grow

[four20friend]

thanks berry. I still have 2 1k lights from my old soil grows but I think they are just too much for that small a space its only

Measures 140cm x 70cm x 200 cm
4'7" x 2'3"x 625' tall

in that hydrohut.

I think I am going to go for the 600 watt lumatek electronic ballast with a hortilux bulb.

I still get the impression you're overwatering your babies, and maybe they need just a pinch of epsom salt in the mix too

I am giving them 5 ml of cal-mag. Which I read is the super version of just epsom salts.

I thought lack of calcium and/or magnisium caused purple on the leaves.

How often and for how long do you guys think I should let the water cycle in the waterfarm?

 

[signman2007]

I run my ebb and flow with 6 plants and a 10 gallon res using an 160 gph pump and I cycle it 3 times during light cycle at 45 minutes each (this including fill and drain). Basically you want to run at least 3 times the amount of water/ to volume in your pots, but in your case your are using just the block then you need to figure out about how many gallons your tray holds and make sure you're running at least 3 times that much thru in one cycle. I did not read the entire post so I don't know what light cycle you are on right now but for me I do 12/12 from seed so I cycle 3 times you might want to add a fourth cycle if you are 18/6 or 24/0. With hydro you can play around with your set up and nutes (little at a time tho!) to find your SWEET spot so to speak for optimum growth with little maintenance.....why does that last word not look spelled right?

Most people would say I over water. Ebb and flow gets 30 minutes every 4 hours (due mostly to the cheap timer). Drip buckets are dripping while the lights are on.

 

[signman2007]

Thats the beautiful thing about hydro is you don't have to worry about what people are telling you just listen to your plants. If your plants are thriving with 4 cycles that is awesome hell you could probably add a cycle to you night hours as well, I have and it works great!

 

[Smokin Moose]

I corrected the spelling. Does it still look funny? lol

 

[signman2007]

LOL Thanks I was seeing crosseyed there for a moment..I knew something didn't look right.

Went back and read. I can't wait to see how ya do with the kali mist. I watched this grown in soil once. It got tall and lank, not huge buds, but the first time I saw it, I thought the grower had some sort of mold the tri-combs were so thick... and the smoke... was like smoking keif hits every time...

You could be bigger at 30 days, but if your not fertilizing aggressively, and you don't have it under big light, it's only gonna grow so fast.

They look good man... They'll take off when they hit the big light. If your interested, my advice would be to start the light high and lower it over the next week or so to it's optimal height. Leaves only exposed to floro's are thinner and can stress, harden them off over a short time.

Good luck with you grow man! Break me off something when its ready holla...

 

[FreakNature]

It should be ready by now; the original post is 7 months old.

It should be ready by now; the original post is 7 months old.

see now....I wonder....did something happen and the plants didnt make it and the grower just never told us that....or did it work out have a great yield?.............

cliffhanger. either that or it was tooooooooo good. LOL. and he still doesnt know.

 

[FreakNature]

I like to think the harvest was so great that they're too preoccupied to let us know how it went. Imagine that first session of newly cured buds after a big harvest...quite a celebration.

 

[four20friend]

The "hydrohut syndrome" has struck.. Everything I put in that hut turned yellow/white then dropped dead. I even put some healthy houseplants and a patch of grass in there to test the theory.
Everything turned yellow in a days and were dead inside a week. I am looking for a new grow room now and will post my next grow when I start it.

 

[Smokin Moose]

Bummer about the hydro-hut. I have never heard of a good grow with these 'toys' lol

 

[medicanMan421]

I think that if you went with anything besides the mako haze you would be a fool.
