Ah awesome, that confirms what I observed on my last grow too.
That's one thing I love about watching you guys do DWC, so much I can learn as regards the different developmental stages and their respective needs!
Cheers! :bigjoint:

I'm going back to general hydro 3 part nutrients as I'm having a really hard time keeping my ph. below 7 I might be getting some sort of lock- out due to ph. being high the gh nutes kept the ph. right for about 10 days without adjusting & that's what I'm going back toIMG_0175.JPG IMG_0177.JPGIMG_0182.JPG

I used GH 3part also, but I only used the 2 parts (Lucas Formula) and It did great for me, with minimal additives.
I used Micro and Bloom only, never bought the Green liquid grow. Later I went to Powdered Maxi grow and saved more money, them went to Jacks Professional

Jacks Prof 77010 General Purpose Fertilizer, 20-20-20
and
Jacks Prof 77160 Blossom Booster 10-30-20

Powdered so gotta dissolve but great fertilizer and did this outdoor

It's looking like about 24 zips, give or take. That's knocking on the door of five ounces per gallon of substrate.

Haha amazing!
So one growing pound looks like 2/3s of that vertical canopy - great to get a bit of a visual :bigjoint:

I've just begun seeing people relativate yield to substrate mass, not sure how useful that is if you're not in a water-only situation though? Clearly, if the plant is being fed (well) directly, root mass doesn't need to be so expansive...
But it does sound killer lol
I just pulled a pretty good 8oz off a 77day auto grow, but it's only 1oz/gallon :rolleyes:

I'm still switching to ten gallon tubs, and very likely SIPS.

Looking good Herc!

So would you say there is about a 4x1 area just in front of the camera that you are not using?
Click to expand...
there is right now about 1ft up front & about 5 in in the back when I built the Scrog I had a 400w hps & this Scrog 29x29 was a tiny bit too large & the outer buds didn't get enough light but after adding the it was easy to see this light is capable of much more I believe Johnsons claim it will flower a 3x4 area I changed lights in the middle of the grow so next grow I'll use this light to its capacity my first move is a larger Scrog & then finishing up my room but for now I've got this to flower and then I've got nutrients to figure out I think the next grow is gonna be on this thread too & by the end of this grow I'll have an in- depth idea of the performance of this light but so far I really like it

Coco, perlite, composted wood chips for buffering and rock dust.
Click to expand...
is there any minerals to be released from the rock dust ? & I would imagine not all composted wood is created equal as well I know not all coco is the same when I did coco the botanicare was my favorite I tried some from roots organic & didn't like it either I also preferred to add my own cal-mg -vs- the coco that now has it in it

after getting my ph. stable at 6 she is back to consuming nutrients & in spite of cooler temps she requires a 2-1/2 gal top off about every 3 days she is ripening faster on the top stuff & although I don't like removing growth I thinned out quite a bit of the lower stuff as I think the led promotes sweating in the leaves which in turn promotes mold development which I'm holding at bay on the bottom growth I'm close enough to harvest I'm gonna pull this off but I'm gonna switch strains probably to chemdawg4 for the next grow IMG_0185.JPGIMG_0186.JPG IMG_0190.JPGIMG_0189.JPG

I bet you could do a whole grow on jacks blossom booster 10-30-20 I've never ran into jacks yet but have used the maxi with good results when I exhaust my flora series nutes I'm going back to the maxi series nutes

Agreed the 1-3-2 wouldnt keep em green in veg
I start blending from veg formula to flower when I see initial flowers and stretch slows, then eventually go to fade to just bloom when they are ready.
Otherwise they get too leafy, but I use it outdoors.
Just organic these days indoors

everything is programming I'm keeping the mold at bay & the race is on to get this finished getting ready to go get babies for my next grow so far I think this light was a good choice & because this started out as a hps grow I'm not using the light to its potential & the yield will pick up with either a og cross or a sativa dominant hybrid I'm looking at blue dream,strawberry/banana & chemdawg4 to name a few & I'll be doing 2 plants in the water farms & the cx-6 will be used from the start to the finish I believe in this little light to the point when I get this dialed in I'm gonna get another one also working with a friend that bought viper spectras that burn about 540w.& don't perform nothing like the cx-6 he wants 2 of these or possibly cx-9 when I get another light I'll order a tent as wellIMG_0193.JPGIMG_0194.JPG IMG_0195.JPGIMG_0196.JPG
