Howdy all. I just moved and got set up for first indoor in a while, I'm currently living in an area that, suffice to say, forces me to buy from Amazon. A lot. They had a killer sale on the GO Box, I'd used a couple of those products and liked them, so I gave it a shot.
Lighting was 400w 4200k MH in a Dominater xxxl hood.
First spoil for the seedlings was Nectar for the Gods #2. I read the info on it from a site that had mistakenly switched the info with the #4mix. Oops! So I actually lost a couple seedlings and they all got a bit cranky before I figured out the mistake, as soon as I fed them they all perked right up and carried on.
First replant was 50:50 #2/happy frog, plus a bit of worm castings and some guano and mykos.
Second and subsequent repots were happy frog, castings, guano, mykos, and some granulated azomite. Once they were planted into the smart pots (5 and 7 gallon just to see if there was a noticeable difference at this plant size) I switched to 600w 4200k MH for 2 weeks.
Once I switched to the 1000w HPS and 12/12, it took at least a week before they started showing any crowns. I've had crowns with one of these strains in 80 hours before. That was the first point at which I became concerned.
Bud production on all but one of the plants was and still is pretty lack later for the time span. 5 days ago was the 4 week mark and I decided I needed to take action while I still could. For the previous two weeks I had been slowly increasing the nute dosage to between 50-100% over even the heavy feeding numbers, and still was not satisfied with weight gain. On the bright side, it seems you can really go nuts and not burn the plants. Starting two waters ago I began including Kushie Kush at ~60% strength, and the difference was immediate and dramatic. Trichome production and bulking were obviously way up after 24 hours.
I've fed twice with it as well now and things are looking good- I'll turn a good crop out yet.
