I haven't had anything go bad with my ACC. I used a variety of nutes and lighting since they popped. I've used Iguana juice, GO Box nutes, HP2, Big Swell, molasses, Plant Amp by organi-grow which is a midwest-made nute, SuperThrive,basically a myriad of shit. I merely paid attention to my npk and adjusted them accordingly. I water or fed when the coco was too damn dry sometimes...my temps have been as high as 100+ degrees sometimes, pH and non-pH water, cfl's, 400 hps, I've never measured run off and all. . hell, I use a fish aquarium ph test kits..:o and everything is nice. Since its my first time with AF's, I'm learning as I go but I'm def a convert now..One thing I've learned so far, its hella greasy...I'll try to post a pic tonight

20130526_203743.jpgthe ladies are actually starting to pull nitrogen from the fan leaves. Which is a good sign considering that they are over half way finished. A tad bit of nute burn but nothing to worry about i believe. Gonna skip a feeding and just is straight water.

I've come to the conclusion that checking the soil ph by the run off method is a garbage way to check the ph of your soil. IMHO. Plants seem fine. I do know one thing. I should of changed out my t5 for my hps sooner.

The candy looks damn good. Ur about 16 days behind mine. From what I've learned so far, its 60 days. Which could be okay but I'm trying for 70. I've got one more week then.... :eyesmoke:

you still have at least 3 weeks all the plants pistils are white, but yeah no more vert growth from this point and the N pull is fine, add just a lil N to your feeding if you wish but it is not necessary. With the floro to hps the sooner the better if you have the option I would say drop the big light in at 2 weeks old, its not necessary(but also not bad) before that then the plants will have at least 5 days to adjust before flowering.

The plants wont really get any taller except for the tips but that will be due to bud growth. Those white pistils will start to turn orange/ brown and then recede as the second push of pistils comes in. Eventually you will get the third and final set of pistils and this is when the buds will noticeable bulk up. Let them plant for a while longer so the buds and caylxes swell and then chop when the time is right.

You want to harvest when the plant is ready which tends to be a bit later than the seed companies like to say. So my point is read the plant and wait for it to be ready rather than the seed package. It is scary/confusing/ exciting n all that trying to figure it out the first time but there are good pointers in the harvesting subforum, and after one or a few harvests you will be able to tell when by looking at the plants.

But they look good and are coming right along.

Thanks TD. I'm having a blast with these ladies. My goal was to get atleast 1 oz per plant. Maybe they will do it. We shall see. I've noticed a bit of nute burn so my last two waterings have been with plain 6.7 ph'd water.
Next watering with be 3/4 strength FF Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom. What do ya think about that TD?
