Ready For The Boom:)

[Underground Scientist]

Anxious to pop a few more seeds and apply what I'm currently thinking might lead to optimum growth. Besides, my 1 SweetSkunk looks like ass. KushBerry's looking real nice. I'm nixing the Ancient Forest, I want fast drying media. I can do some teas for the underlying benefits. I've definitely been overfeeding. I'm gonna figure out this necrotic spotting on early leaves and reddish shit on my new shoots.

Another STRESS packed day at work, need a beer and some Garden Therapy

These KushBerry



I have to kick the dead horse one more time, this damn soil will not give up moisture! I've only been able to water twice in 2.5 weeks, not what I like at all. I'm ready to start a few more and prove how much faster they can grow.

This is that bastard reddish emerging leaf

 

[Underground Scientist]

I am wondering if it's sulfur?

This stuff stands out like sore thumbs under LED

Going with the theory I may have some overcharged soil, and Epsom Salt (MagSulfur) is going to be part of my RO water supplementation, I watered all of veg with water ph'd 6.0 with 125-150 ppm of MagSulfur, (1/4 tsp) to 30% runoff.

My base water will be 2 ml Calmag Plus, 1/8 tap Epsom for a 150-175ppm base water with Nitrogen, Calcium, Magnesium, and Sulfur.

Sent an email to Vivosun about my 600w Ballast issue where it would not fire the bulb once a week, so I went to the 1000 dimmed to 750. I really only need to be running 600. That would free up some wattage for other boxes.

Explained my issue to Vivosun, they offered to ship me a new ballast. Top notch customer service.

Its a vertical parabolic reflector. Gives great coverage and no heat spots.

Dual spectrum...What brand bulb is it? I'm running cheap bulbs, wondered about getting a quality bulb.

Omega. I also have there mh bulb and digital dimmable ballast. Changing my bulb next grow only because ive used it for about 3 grows. Thinking of getting grolux super hps. Im not liking the omega mh the node spacing is very bad with it at the start of growth

Hmm, I used a cheap Vivosun MH bulb for veg, tight nodes.
