SEED-TO-BUD a-z @ mars-hydro.com

I've finally unlocked a combination of light , ventilation & temperature & nutrients that I'm getting a good result with it has been a work in progress but feel the environment is finally dialed in I've been fighting drooping leavesm

Hi Herk they seem to be picking up now. As a question do you feed extra calmag? I think you had somekind of lockout. Maybe fro the earlier overwatering still, but the plants need extra calmag under these ledlights. Glad you are finding a way.

Cal mag is a good idea & I have it on hand it's the only additive I use the plants are giving me daily growth might darken the color a bit as well the color is a bit light

If you want we're gonna figure it out together! Before you start next grow, give me a sign we are checking every step of the way.
But this grow: yellow lower leaves indicate nitrogen shortage, but I think still from overwatering or something PH-related.
If you are feeding enough.

Do you have a general feed/watering schedule I can read back on somewhere? Or can you tell me how many gallon per how many days?
I this stage I only water once every three days (maybe one and a half liters (3rd gallon) a plant, my medium is dry but plants aren't wilting when I feed next and once I do the outside only.

To stimulate the roots to go looking for water, it is my theory that they grow faster that way than in thick watered soil.

Two of these days I feed some extra but not much. Once with just Ph water.

I'm feeding 1 liter every 3 days I'm in coco so very soon this is gonna increase I'm using megacrop single part nutes which is pretty high in N I just now increased to the recommended veg veg schedule from the seedling schedule so guaranteed they're hungry & should respond in kind soon I've been keeping the nutrient level on the conservative side playing it safe next round I'll apply what I've learned to the clones I take this method is a bit slow at first from here on they should steadily gain momentum my ph is 5.9 & ppm 675 right now

Ah ok so its planned hunger, no problem! I understand!!

No sure I would call it planned hunger it's more like being over paranoid of feeding them too much lol

I've got 2 phenos the one on the left was significantly smaller at first but its catching up not as bushy & slightly narrower leaves it's easier to keep happy & less prone to droopiness the one on the right is a lot more dense & has wide leaves that are prone to droopiness really sensitive to temperature &moisture changes still the larger of the two but harder to keep happy & in its groove

I've put in a second clip on fan on the top poles of the tent the temps are still doing good

They got their final topping today I'm getting nice side branching they should scrog nicely without further topping

I ended up with a new strain from my unintentional chuck 3-thirteen citrs milf male-×Male-×-esoseeds reverse welchie it couldn't be nicer had I planned it

They're responding to the nutrient increase & my rate of growth is picking up the cal mag is greening them up a bit too I ended up getting the seeds I wanted to of my 4x4 harvest I'll end up with 2 strains out of the deal

This is a long thread & I want to take a minute to go over my setup & feeding I've deliberately kept things as simple as possible & use things as is right out of the bag or bottle no elaborate feeding schedule or media mixing Royal gold tupur strait out of the bag in 3 gal smart pots with an oversize pan under them to catch the runoff I'm feeding megacrop 1-part single ingredients food 4gr per gallon to veg 6gr per gallon to flower I'm adding cal mag @10 m/l per gal using tap water that's it nothing else I prefer single ingredient stand alone nutrients megacrop is my choice royal gold tupur is coco based medium & I like it as well I suppose sunshine mix#4 or pro-mix hp could be used as well my goal here is to use something simple that gets results & just about any skill level grower can duplicate pretty easy

Nice man. Hard fighting the cold I guess?
a question how do you get the runoff out of those pots?

I let the plants wick the runoff back up usually in 24 hours time for 1-2 inches of runoff about once a week I hit them with water only the cold hasn't been too bad yet & the light has been generating enough heat when I flip I will have to add heat during the 12 hours the light is off there is no way to avoid it

I've been giving them 1 liter of nutrients per pot next feeding I'm gonna increase it to 2 liters per pot eventually we'll end up at 4 liters per pot

The nights getting colder the mars-hydro.com light & tent performing flawless I'm feeding 2 liters per plant now every 3 days time to flip almost here

A happy Thanksgiving to everyone peace & goodwill around the world not just about america I wish to include all my friends on this day wherever you may be it's time to get a scrog together & stretched these girls are in need of training taking a break today but will begin this task tomorrow

Srry buddy, had a lot on my plate here. Hope you a good Thanksgiving and you and your family are still ok! How is the grow coming?

Had to shut down due to domestic dispute popping new seeds to fire back up tomorrow had to move the tent for a week getting set back up now
