42 days ?

by day 50 with an indica auto with buds like that I`d cut the N time to force that bitch to finish

Cut the N just use bloom feed, even then use would use a 1-2-3 ratio max or go 0-1-2 or just potassium sulphate or straight pk

The plants got it too easy it thinks it got loads of time and some autos need forcing or they stop making and finish they just go old and stop making nice smells

also probably best to take the lights out the bucket or turn them off I`d move them up to hit higher on the plant but only you can see it in person so your call dude

I'm using only bloom nutrients at the moment but it's still a 2-3-5 NPK. Will this still (worst case scenario) achieve some smoke?

there are also some good led household bulbs you can supplement with. If you have a home depot nearby they have some good philips 14.5 watt 100w equivalent lights that are in the 2700 or 3000k (can't remember which). The best part about them other than running cooler is that they are directional, meaning when you take off the plastic globe they point straight in one direction. I still would put them in a directional clamp light with reflector. az2000 did some tests with them and extensive research, look it up. I think the proper distance was 8 inches for them so that's usually a plus unless your space is limited.

Budget-wise I'm stuck with the CFLs I've got, but my "Grow Fund Me" savings I think will have to afford me a 1000w HID set up and ditch the fluorescents.

in that medium you should shoot for a 3-1-3 or 3-1-2 or 3-1-4 npk ratio from sprout to cut, but as long as you are close to that range i wouldn't worry too much. if you could supplement some n to even out that ratio you will achieve a little better results and less yellowing by the end of your cycle.

It's true the plant uses less n during the last part of the flowering, but in container grows it is harder for a plant to uptake N than the other nutrients. Also, during the first 2-3 weeks of flowering (the stretch), your plant will be using a bunch of n and robbing it of N will cause stretching.

Yeah you`ll get some smoke its looking good, I`d cut down on the N and up the K your at the stage where you can easy use half the amount of that bloom and use molasses instead that`ll lower the N and up the K the leaves may yellow but the buds grow a lot faster and swell more

New problem. Fml. Correct me if I'm wrong but This has gotta be calcium def. I've flushed her with ph=6.2 and then added calmag+ (5ml) to another gal. Even did a calmag+ foliar spray (about half a liter). Leaves have sky rocketed from green to yellow and brown spotted in 48hrs. So give it to me straight: what do I do, and will she make it? Not gunna cut her down. As captain I'll go down with the grow but we got a Noob in near panic mode. Talk me down, ppl. Tell me she'll be alright. image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpeg

Move your lights away... Stressed.... CFL are stronger than you may think...... Light intensity is good/bad, find the sweet spot for watts....!!

Im pretty sure, moving them away will cause slower growth and more stretching/longer nodes. Not only is he using spiral cfl's, he's still under 200w with multiple bulbs which is nearly impossible to bleach/fry a plant without touching it. A single source using 200w could bleach/burn but not multiple bulbs.

Yeah looking at her this morning I may have burned her some. Flush?? Tone down on nutes for next watering?

lower your ph closer to 5.8 if you think you have a cal problem because cal is best absorbed right around 5.8, but is less available as the ph goes above that (yours is 6.3). If you don't want to drop it that much, just lower it to 6.0 and it should bring you more in range.

But still flush? Ph the water to 5.8 for the flush as well?

Yes, ph your flush as well. The medium will partially retain some of what you flush with so you want it to be ph'd good. After the flush test your runoff.

Ran 4 gallons thru (2-ish gallon pot) at 5.8 ph with 5ml calmag+ in the last gallon. Final run off was about 6.0.

Flushed on Day 57 - still slow, small flower production. Hoping It helps boost her flower and bud growth up.
