New Babies In Tent (B):

Changing to RO water this week with my first flush.
Scrog Netting will be put up today.
Humidity is a very bad issue for me at a normal 20% and have broke 2 humidifiers, getting a 3rd today.
Tent A & B both have low to no humidity so this issue is known and will be fixed.
New Babies are:
ChemDawg
Great White Shark
THC Bomb
Sensi Star.
Dark Devil-did not make it

Will Try to invent a Humidity dome for the babies out of clear wrap today or they will not make it.

I feel the nute burn and spotting is due to Deficiencies cause by humidity problems, i think that it is the root cause of all the issues you see here. Root ball is Healthy and white with no sign of 'root rot'
Hope i am right!

 

[SharkByte]

Set up Clone tent w/ 3 6500k CFL Bulbs.
New humidifier set up to control whole room at 60% instead of each tent.
Taking Clones then lollipopping.
scrog frame built.

 

[Koqstorm]

Nice! Have you any ideas about your problem, struggling with the same.

 

[SharkByte]

i have received no input regarding any of the issues, so after trolling the internet i believe the problem is low humidity sense early veg. i feel my nute strength is still correct but the ladies are forced to drink more . to test this i shut down the carbon filter and let the heat of the light speed up humidity from the buckets to 60% at 88F. 24 hours later my wife and i were both shocked to see how much the growth exploded in short time.
thats when i seen cal/mag deficiency shortly after, so i learned about and ordered cal/mag and added 3 ml to each bucket.
i have not had any issues on new growth after this. but i am changing to flowering so doing a flush on the 31st.
i also used nute to early in veg. and just learned about the nightmare of Root Rot so trying to learn what i can before its a problem but i have learned a lot in a short time overall, and will continue to seek more knowledge. its a great ride

 

[Koqstorm]

Ah, not a bad thought!
I bought a humidifier to fix that problem, works like a charm!

The moneymaker btw is on my wish list, looking forward to see how your turn out

Keep it going man!

Here is a link to my first grow btw J & K Perpetual Grow Log - Soil

Looking good brother. It doesn't look like that deficiency has spread, so whatever you changed seems to have worked. I'll leave you with a couple reference charts in case you haven't seen them before.

 

[Dan Ultra]

It also looks like you are running you HPS during veg. Are you running your MH along side it? If not, Cannabis likes the 6500k range for veg a little more and 2300k for flower. So if you aren't trying to go dual spectrum and run both, I would switch over to the MH until you put them into flower.

 

[SharkByte]

hey bud, thanks for stopping in.

I changed lights to HPS on the 24th this month to start to flower. I was unsure of ending plant height so made the decision to start to flower. i gave them 24 hours dark with a nute change to Tiger Bloom and Cal/mag. Humidity is at a constant 45% in flower tent at 72 F. 72% in Veg tent also at 72 F.

 

[Dan Ultra]

Cool! I didn't see where you went to flower. My bad. lol. I am still half asleep

 

[SharkByte]

No worries bud,
after checking them as they woke up just now, my fears have been confirmed. They are too big & bushy. getting leaf at nodes i assume are first stages of budding but all the tops are shading everything under them. White Widow is too small to get any light from the other 3.
i know my answer is to install a scrog but i find myself scared to stress my plants. have too much invested to fail.

**@Dan, What your doing in your journal is wicked and was the first door of introduction to the technique your using on them ladies. I was completely unaware of these methods and can say you signal handedly made an impact on a person's knowledge expansion .

 

[SharkByte]

After almost decimating my girls while installing a homemade scrog, i have decided not to use it. i believe i should of done it sooner if i was going to use it.
Am i correct to assume my next steps should be thinning out the bush and finding support for the budding heads?

I cannot take credit brother. Light Addict has perfected the flux technique and is holding my hand along the way. MedFarmer is just finishing up his first flux and his plant is AMAZING! Check out Light Addicts Flux Central thread. MedFarmer just submitted his lady for Plant of the Month.
