Re: 4 Plants/3 Sstrains - Promix HP - 600W MH/HPS

The weather is changing here, extremely dry with RH under 30% outside. I'll have ideal conditions for flowering luckily, my temps are still around 77-79F with 40% humidity now, bet I could get it to 20% humidity if I wanted in flower.

I use almost the exact same set up as you have only I veg with 1000w, and Flower with 1000w. I find it better in the cold climate here in Maine, and it's faster, and I noticed bigger yields. But, nice grow. My specs are almost all the same, soil, etc.

some growers like to see 10% runoff some like 20% but you want a lil runoff unless ur double feeding ur plants hope this helps...girls look great nice and healthy +rep

i just saw u post about your water issues on f.a.q

if u dont have a ppm meter .. google your towns water report and find out what the ppms were. it will help u figure out your water situation . could b that u just need some cal/mag or hard water treatment .

Cool I'll look into it

Well I think I'm seeing a little transplant shock on 2 of the most recently transplanted plants, the MKage's definitely can handle the stress though. Dark Star is still trying to recover and Blue Kush looks iffy, probably from the shock.

do you use any vitamin b when transplanting..?

Re: 4 Plants/3 Sstrains - Promix HP - 600W MH/HPS

Nah no idea what B would even do.

Re: 4 Plants/3 Sstrains - Promix HP - 600W MH/HPS

vitamin b-1 helps with shock when transplanting and overall plant growth. i use mad farmers B-1 through out entire grow, Mad Farmers Be One

Well due to the stress problems I'm gonna start 12/12 tomorrow sometime, or give it that darkness period for a day. Does the day of darkness really benefit the plant at all?

 

[theengineer]

not before flowering, no, but some people think it helps the day before harvest. I just think they haven't seen the plant for two days and are simply noticing the growth in that time, but who's to know for sure

 

[Sphnx]

It just helps start the flowering process faster, but it does stress the plant out....

 

[Stealthboat]

Meh I'll skip it then until harvest time, if I even do it then.

 

[Sphnx]

I read the other post wrong lol... 2 days of darkness before harvest does benefit the plant, people say it doesn't but I do see differences. The length between the trichomes shrinks while the buds grow tighter. Denser frostier nugs.

vitamin b helps with stress so anytime u do something traumatic to the plants u should use some type of vitamin b...someone described it to me as heroin for plants haha

 

[Stealthboat]

Ok I'll pick some up eventually. Is it only used when stress is present or should I just throw it in to all my nute solutions?

i dont do the darkness before the flip but i do flush them .
