hey flowa quick question, i checked the thread pertaining any info on ph levels and i found you like to keep yours at 6.2, my question is when i feed my perlite buckets at 6.0.-6.2 i get run off at 6.4- 6.5 which seems to be why im getting early yellowing, should i start feeding a lower ph?

Wow Flowa... I found this thread a while ago... Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'd really like to try to grow this way...I was wondering, do you think I'd be good to use a grow bag like root trapper inside of the bucket? (Instead of the "Pot Sock") Thanks again, bro.
I really dont know about that bag, does it allow flow of water? most important.

My only theory top that could be maybe you aren't feeding often enough, if the perlite dries out ph will more than likely go up. All the salts when things dry out makes a big difference. The key is to maintain consistency, I only measure res ph, as that is what your roots will be exposed to most of the time.

They look deadly!!! Hashplant!!!! beautiful work man!!!

Seriously, Flowa's basically using 600w. (Lighting) And pulling over 1lb! Whaaaaa?! THIS GROW IS AWESOME!

Hey Flowamasta,
Longtime lurker, I have flipped my little closet and was wondering roughly at what day do flowers start appearing?
That really depends on the system you run, how big your plant was when you flipped, how old is she? temps? nutrient change? health......? anywhere from 1-2 days the pistils may show some strains will show pre-flowers the whole time through vegging but wont flower until you hit them with 12 hr lighting. If nothing after 2 weeks then something isn't right. I would get worried after 3.

Damn Flowa those buds are going to be like footballs :lol: they are massive! That resin is getting pretty heavy too hey! Love it!
LOL :) yes indeed, they are a worrying size to say the least!!! and the fact i have around 40 that are bigger than my fist keeps me on edge and up late ;) I can't have any circulation issues or humidity problems from now on at all. No 2nd light anymore to keep temps at the optimum. she gets cold as ice air con during her daytime dark period, yes expensive power bill, but i'd rather that than go to the doctors for a headache or cant sleep or something!!! Hopefully i can pull some sweet colours out of Jack x , Her light period is averaging 27 degrees and dark period is around 24 degrees so hopefully enough to pull some autumn colours from her flavanoids. She has already started to fade heavily. Almost imediately noticeable after diluting base and only feeding blueberry nectar. R.O water from saturday onwards until harvest.

Thanx man!!! a 4 x 4 x 7 tent is fine, just have to keep her nice and low before you decide to train and spread her out. Wait till she has some good growth and then bend her down and spread her.... doesn't that just sound great!! :)
It sounds like pots maybe your only hard item to source. A common issue worldwide!! maybe i should patent the design!!! ' Monsta Flowa Buckets :p '
a 600 watt is ideal, My 2nd light is major over-kill and has only been used a few times to help with climate on humid days. As my air-cooled hood doesn't radiate heat like a shade.

:) Thanx man!! can't wait to see numbers myself. Her smell is alot more subtle than last grow. But i'm not doubting her potency. she is as sticky as orange blossom honey. Very mild Berry smell

Damn bro, the size of your fist already? They will be footballs lol. Hope you can keep them all airated and no moisture in the last few weeks!! You'll be right though, you're a professional :D

:lol: @ bend her down and spread her too, i love it when we talk dirty hahaha

I used floralicious all through veg, but i was very careful, it states to use .5 ml per litre. I halved that again. VERY concentrated, and the plants don't need alot of it, once you see a visual difference in your uptake of nutrients you can start to back it off or stop it all together.

Thanx for the compliments man!!! much appreciated :)

There are a few, the outside colas are easily biggest , i could of topped again if i had the veg time!! These buds are my biggest, i'm almost positive. They are heavy and dense indeed. BUT They have MUCH less than a few weeks my friends. These mighty colas will be done in mere days. 7-10 judging by past grows and personal experience. Because of the way i feed my grows now she will finish off very quickly, Calyxs are already swelling all over the place buds leaning left and right. There is nothing 'imature' as such on these colas now, they just have to finish swelling drawing the nutrients out of the leaves and just before she's perfectly ripe for the picking she will only then produce some real colours :) :) It all depends on how and when you feed ;) She will ripen naturally, there is no stopping that. Maturity is inevitable from here on, tomorrow it's only R.O water onwards.

I'm going for maximum cloudy trichs, low count ambers. This strain is far too heavy hitting left more than 55 days. Tolerance levels take some time to build up but smoking nothing but for a few months and you soon understand the 'zombie' appeal :p You won't know if you've had a cone, because you're simply bent all the time lol. Maybe when you realize that munchies is happening you start to straight up, after you're halfway through a pizza, some chocolate pudding and a packet of Doritos..... eating all at the same time.
 
Crazy! That's all can say, after reading the last few posts a few questions came to mind, what size is the tent your using? Also you mentioned that it ripened or matured fast because of the way you feed? Care to elaborate? Thanks again for all the knowledge!!

Unreal bro, just unreal :D cant wait to see how much you pull this time, it will be over 32oz though ;) dunno bout you but i love it when i see the colas leaning, means they have some serious weight in them :)

i'm a cloudy trich person too man, not a fan of too many ambers, always makes me feel a tad queazy! I can imagine how bent you are if you're eating munchies like that hahaha!

:) Ofcourse :) I'll do my best!! I did elaborate in the particular post, but in short my theory and knowledge over time and the last few grows experience, is that when you want the plant to put weight on and grow 'calyxs' you want to feed your base ofcourse.. (bloom nutes) and if you have control over your nutrients like 'CYCO does' by giving you each nutrient in separate bottles. Alot of people will think thats crazy. Its not even in their feed schedule but i stop feeding alot of their products as soon as i start flower, like dropping B1 boost, zyme, Dr. Repair after week 3 flower and now only base and Blueberry nectar. I believe my system is faster than most because of the perlite and this does in fact speed the whole grow up, there is little to no root resistance and out of all Hydro systems i haven't seen anything else come close in terms of harvest turn around and ratio for 1 plant under 3 months :) It sounds big headed i know, but i'm just trying to help people use a better and easier system that the HYDRO shops will NOT tell you about. You buy less nutes, less equipment and grow better weed than the shops :p

You are too kind!! anything over 22 ounces will be a huge bonus!!! but even so, i'm going all out on flushing this girl a couple of days more than last grow hopefully. She is maturing very fast, so heavy i think i'm in the twilight zone :o

Update shortly, i'm pretty sure i JUST smoked a bowl
