[Mistermister]

Good Mornin, entering week 12

The full closet as it stands today

 

[Mistermister]

So i fed them last night and heres photos for today

 

[Mistermister]

Day 26 of flowering getting several good stalks going now
Watering today with no nutes

 

[Mistermister]

My buddy needs some help, wats wrong with his plant

 

[Jimbory]

Did he spray water on the leaves during light time? what kind of light is he using?

 

[Mistermister]

No spray, his light is an endo max 150cmh

 

[Mistermister]

Well i told him to give it a flush then feed it cal mag, worked for me. The yellow blotches still have him concerned tho.

 

[Mistermister]

According to this article we think it is #11 manganese lock out due to higher ph levels.
Nutrient Disorder Problem Solver

 

[Mistermister]

Ok so hes been giving it superthrive, and that appearently is a no no during flowering.

 

[Mistermister]

Ok back to my girls, here they are in their glory

 

[Mistermister]

Oh and i just had to share this months nat geo, this ones a keeper

 

[raisingcain]

Love that last shot from below. Good work man your plants look healthy! Do grocery stores sell NatGeo? Need to check that out :0)

Thanks i cant get enough of these photops, luv em
Todays show, day 27 flowers and her clan of AK47s

Thats 3 flowering (from seeds), 2 mothers in 5gal smart pots (from seeds), 4 air potted clones, and 8 clones in styrofoam cups (be gentle with cups they tip over easily, lost two clones that way). I let the first three veg too long and now i have no room to flower any more plants until these are done, which is why ive adopted to using the two mothers in constant veg, one just got topped the other day, and the smaller mother is being supercropped.

 

[Mistermister]

Ok so my girls in the vegcycle tell me there was no need for using plain water, by chlorosis yellowing, i should have continued giving them nutrients at every watering, or i should be watering everyday in order to nut them every other watering. Those are my two options im looking at the moment. The tall mom showed more signs of rust patches too. So yeah cal mag plus iron and nitrogen every other day apparently, plus its been suggested to add the big bloom (a low NPK %) during their youths so they get a little p and k along with their n.

 

[Mistermister]

Buds are coming in great tho

 

[Mistermister]

So im trying to learn how the fox farm & bushdoctor nutrients affect the ph of my 7.0 water. I need to find an article chart or run an experiment to get the numbers. Anyone got something like that?

 

[Mistermister]

Also ive looked all over the fox farm products, wheres the calcium? Seriously which fox farm products have calcium in it? Cant find any, that cant be right? How does the fox farm schedule not mention calcium, thats like an essential nute. I guess ill just have to add Botanicals cal mag plus nitrogen and iron more often (still getting the rusty dieing leaves here and there), the cal mag has nitrogen should i not be using it during flower stage or is it ok?

And i did learn one thing, that FF Tiger Bloom is ph4 so an equal amt of ph up was needed, not sure if it caused any harm up till now, flowers look fine.

 

[Mistermister]

So after some research turns out no there is no calcium in fox farms products, seems like a build in flaw, but general consensus is yes use cal mag at every watering with ff products even during flower stage, except first few weeks of planting/transplanting because the soil generally has all the nutes it needs.

I'll have to check my labels when I get home. It seems like there would be trace amounts in Big Bloom, but not sure without being able to look at the bottle. NPK are you essential nutrients and then everything else, for the most part, would be micro's. A lot of the time the soil will contain enough calcium for a grow, but not always. Then you have to also look at using LED's. They cause a higher uptake of Mag, which will end up requiring more Calcium and Iron as well.

 

[Mistermister]

Thanks i wasnt aware of the LED effects on Mg.
