150 Watt HPS in a 48" x 24" x 60" Tent

[tycal420]

Got it JB. The Auto is swelling everyday. The Bag Seed is really budding. She has sites all the way down the stalks. Even in the places that I pruned are sprouting buds with no fan leafs. Once I get my nutes in balance I think they will really be monsters. I raised up the 2 Afghans and now have an even canopy. I did have my 2 CFL's on both ends of my HPS but I spread them out more to the left and right side. I notice a big difference in the light coverage.

Hey guys what can I do for gnats? I have read that cinnamon, sand and even soapy water will help. Figured I would ask the pro's before I mess something up LOL!! I read that they eat the roots but they are nibbling on my buds! Can't have that.

for soil insects i use diotomaceous earth on top of the soil, it cuts the insects as they move through it. i bought my diotomaceous earth from an animal feed store, do not get the type meant for pool filters. people also use mosquito dunks for fungus gnats. you can also use yellow sticky card to catch adults.

Update. I just ordered some Blue Planet 2 stage grow and Bloom. I have been just giving the Auto molasses and water.I am in week 7 of a 9-10 week cycle.

The leaves are starting to turn yellow. I assume it is in it's final stages of maturity

Well I hope to get the nutes in by the end of the week so that I can give her a dose before it is too late.
I just believe that she can fill out more. I took a pinch off the bottom buds and quick dried it for 3 days. Man she hits heavy with a head stone! The smoke was not harsh at all! I could taste the sweetness. I can only imagine what it will be like after it is harvested and cured properly. Oh yea she smells like orange peels and diesel.

I really wanted to stay with the tea for nutes but I read about the Blue Planet and since it is a sponsor on here I decided to support them and give it a try. I do not want to be closed minded. I will learn so much more by experimenting with other things until I find what works best for me.

Will update on the Bag Seed in few.

Back again with another update. Here are some pics of BB. She is in week 6 of flower. Again I have been giving her nothing but Molasses and rain water. I will start giving her some BPN 2 part series as soon as I get them in. Any advice from the pics would be greatly appreciated.

 

[tycal420]

Sorry for the shitty pics but can someone tell me why the leaves are red and yellow? I know I am missing some vital nutes but what kind?
I hope the BPN will help solve this.

 

[KingJohnC]

the leaves yellowing at this stage means that your plants are using more nitrogen then you are supplying to them currently.

 

[tycal420]

So I need to increase or decrease the nitrogen?

 

[KingJohnC]

increase the nitrogen you are feeding.

Bad news to report. Today is week 8 on my BDM Auto. She will have to come down. I will be having to move into a different apt next week and do not want to risk anything. I have a place to put my other ladies but the BDM is to easy to detect and funky at that. Here is what she looks like before the the final cut

I had just fed them with the Blue Planet 2 nutes. Man did it swell over night!
I was supposed to let it run for 9-10 weeks. Can some one tell me if the pistals are looking good enough?
I see many Amber ones but I do not have a scope to really get in there and take a peek.

Now my BB and the 2 Afghans will be ok. They are easiest to conceal during my move.Pic of them a little later. I will saythis, Blue Planet nutes are great!! Just after one feeding with molasses and rain water and the colas look like they took a steroid shot last night!

I am doing a one day flush as she will be pulled tomorrow. Will that quick of a flush matter. I mean I have no choice but for future reference. I think the buds will be just how I like them. I feel like they are around 60/40 amber to milky. Any comments from the photo above would be cool.

 

[tycal420]

Ok here is what she looks like. I do not have a scale as of yet but I will post the dry weight once it dries.

I wish I could have gone the whole 10 weeks but hey got to be safe!

 

[tycal420]

Still rocking with the other 3 once I get situated. B back in a few ticks.

 

[tycal420]

Sorry to say that this journal is complete. After my move I had to get rid of my plants due to security reasons.
I will be back in a few ticks though. Just ordered some Caramelicious and 3 Critical Auto's. I did recieve the Blue Planet Nutes that I ordered and will be using them on my grow. Thanks for all the support that everyone gave and I hope you will tune into my next journal. Special shout outs to Wiz and JB42.

 

[tycal420]

Oh yea, I did get 33 grams dry off the BDM! Great smoke!
