Raiven's 1st Indoor Grow - THC Bomb Auto - 2014

You may also want to use vermiculite in your soiless mixture. Vermiculite also acts as a catalyst between roots and the nutrients.

Definitely, already read this up on your thread! Vermiculite's on my next order list once I have the money. Thanks King John!

Whats your runoff PH??

Like I said it is acidic...It was showing in the RED
Reading the color scale is not very acurate but I wrote it up in my journal as 4.0-5.0

 

[Raiven]

I would use a calcium and magnesium supplement with your small and medium size plants. I use Botanicare's Cal-Mag Plus for a calcium and magnesium supplement.

Thanks again for a direct product link KJC!!
This is making it easier to see and understand just what to use!!

Ah man you gotta find a more accurate way to read PH. Even if it's with a cheap analog meter. The difference between 4 and 5 is 10x more acidity.

Sorry for the time lapse between posts...
I have had to travel a bit for work lately and it has held me back from doing what needs to be done...
i.e. Take care of my plants and post things up for you lovely folks on here!!!

FINALLY AN UPDATE!!

-Large Plant is still getting bigger and doing great
---The two tops are amazing
---White hairs have sprouted all over the tops
---There is a bit of decay all over the plant but new growth is clean
-Medium Plant is doing just as good as the Large plant
---White hairs have appeared all over this one as well
---More decay on this one than the Large plant along with a bunch of the lower fan leaves dying off
-Small Plant is still hanging in there
---Decay is still all over it but the new growth on top is clean
-Box will be done soon (traveling and work SUCK)
-Fed and watered each plant with half strength nutes for 4th FF schedule week
-Temp. & Hum. have been in the same range as throughout this grow
-Still on 18/6 light and fan schedule and I think this has caused the amazing growth I have been seeing
-The Large and Medium plants got so tall that they got burned on the bulbs a couple times

-On a STOOPIDER note LoL...I was giving false info for a while on here about the soil I was using...I dont know how or why I got Ocean Forest stuck in my head but I was using LIGHT WARRIOR not OF...I included some pics below of the bag and closeups of the ingredients and such...

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttt...

-EVERYONE should be happy to know that I have finally ordered the right tools!!
---With KJCs advice I went with the ProMix HP & the Cal-Mag supplement, I also ordered a pH and ppm tester and some vermiculite to mix in with the ProMix

Damn ,,, what a difference between Large/medium and the Small. But it's all good, maybe the small will be a late bloomer and give you a harvest after the other two are dried and smoked up

I certainly hope youre right!!

looks like you'll have some buds in a couple months
its too bad about the little plant, but without transplanting it into some new soil its pretty much worthless at this point :S

In my experience with Autos, the breeder claims this ridiculously fast harvest time...

My last Autos ran 70-80 days from sprout, which is only a couple weeks faster than my photos growing now. If my photos double the previous yields, then it's worth the extra few weeks to wait for me.

SHED BOX IS COMPLETE!!

Your big plants are going to flower nice. My autos were smaller than that when they started flowering and I got some nice nugs.

I cannot wait to see how they progress over the next 4 weeks or so...

Taking a look at your journal now... +Reps for you!!!

 

[Raiven]

Heres a quick shot of the pH and TDS meters that came in today...
Hopefully this will shed some light on the situation...
I will test them out today and report back with readings so you guys can help me decipher them hahahaha...
