1st grow, Flower Day 24. Do they look ok? Suggestions?

[guitarman5150]

Here is my 1st grow setup.

Two 1000 watt led grow lights. 4-2700k led 1100 lumen, 1. 45 watt led grow bulb. Total output at outlet. 575 Watts of lighting. Average lux 18,000.

Method:
Using FFOF soil, 2-2 gal and 1-1 gal smart pot, and two 1/2 gal regular pots.
Following FF soil feed schedule using all there nutes shown (1/2 strength) plus, 1tsp Epsom salt, and 1/4 cup peroxide every watering. 1 tsp Molasses since flowering. Using filtered tap water. Average watering/feeding PH 6.4

Average Environment:
Temp 81 degrees, Max high 85, Low 65 degrees. Max Low 58 degrees, Humidity Average 25%. Max 40%, Max Low 15%

Clones-Strains.
1- Northern Lights #5, 1-Fire Alien Kush, 1-More Cowbell, 1-Gorilla Piss, 1-Samurai OG,

Vegged for 6 weeks.

See 1st photo before pruning day 18 of flower.


Today (Photo) 24th day on 12/12 flowering.

Here is some more showing the setup.

I cannot get to the back side of the plants, no choice for my grow location. I’m running out of grow room. Got buds growing in front, sides and behind trellis.
Questions:
Can I keep tying down the buds and branches as they grow?
What can I expect from here?
How much do you think I will harvest if all goes well?

Shocked I made it this far.
Don’t want to crash and burn now.​

Thanks​

Nice setup

 

[guitarman5150]

Thanks, Didn't realize growing was so much work. I see a little what I think is nutrient burn on the tips of some leaves. Not sure.

My first grow indoors as well you know.. incredible amounts of work I wish I had trimmed more I would’ve had a much bigger yield something to check up for my next grow .... I wish I could tell you how much you’re going to harvest I’d say minimum would be the ratio of 1000 actual watts equaling a unit

There is a little bit of burn but nothing to be alarmed about one of the main things I learned through this Grow is less is more when it comes to nutrients
I ended up burning mine little too much and from this point on will only go to about 1.5 EC max ..Usually stay around one or 1.0-1.2 throught out flower until flush

Don’t understand your last part. 1.0 - 1.2?

 

[Budzbuddha]

Plants actually seem pretty sound for your grow ... Plants are reaching and canopy uniform. Why the peroxide ?

1.0-1.2 ec is my usual level

Mother always used it for vegetables with Epsom. The water is more oxenated using it. Used since day one. I forgot to post I have been using super thrive at 21 drops per gallon since veg. Foliar Epsom also.
I also have a lot of dried trim since the pruning. Is it worth using it in edibles etc? Thanks.

Also been using super-thrive at 21 drops per gallon.
Foliar once a week PH 6.5, FF nutrients 1/4 dose with Epsom and Super thrive.

Well my 2 ¢ ......

1. FFOF is highly amended right out the bag . It is prebuffered at 6.3.

2. Led grows Do Suffer from Calmag issues from time to time , however I would NOT foliar ANY flowering buds.

3. Watering varies as LED GROWS DO NOT transpire as fast as other light like HPS.
So overwatering can be an issue.

4. There are easier ways to " oxygenate " without dumping peroxide. Peroxide helps cull a bit of chlorine , but you want a happy living soil without excessive elements added in. You can go buy a cheap aquarium air pump , hose and stone .... Leave out a container of water - 24 hours the night before use with stone bubbling water. It will oxygenate PLUS gas off some chlorine WITHOUT chemicals. You can do this for regular watering water and for feed mixing.

5. Dump the superthrive at this point ... Every once in awhile during veg at a tenth of what you are doing. It has hormones that will herm your shit out or cause weird growth.

 

[guitarman5150]

Using everything on there list shown at 1/2 strength since day one. (if I’m uploading photos properly) I’m on week 8 at 1/2 strength for all there nutes.
Got fan and humidifier running around the bottom of the pots. Soil temp stays around 68-74. I have not been able to maintain a humidity above 35% since day one. It’s averages actually about 25%.
Fans on top of LED lamps exhausting heat 24/7.

Fans above canopy turn run for 3 minutes and off for 2 during light hours.


Have

Which FF products are you are using during flower ?
Be aware FF salts up fast , and looks like you are in grow bags and emergency leaching of lockout ( salt ) might be a problem.

Is RH really that low ??? You have all kinds of containers in there ... Flowers , etc.
and I would think during watering time there is a lot of moisture lingering.

Just curious ... Fans are ok . Do you exhaust or have air moving in and out ?

Great idea on using a pump before watering. I use filtered tap so I thought it would be enough cal and micronutrients. My digital soil probe meter reads around 6.9. No more ST. Keep watering at 6.4 then?

I used FF for a few years and learned fast that I did not need the whole menu.
I picked the open , beastie and Cha Ching.

At week 6 thru 8 ran beastie only as it does not have nitro. Plant will use the N stored in leaves. There was need to " power feed " at this time. Buds built up from the high P / K.
And at once a week . Then Cha Ching from week 9 til chop.

It really isn't necessary to load up your plants with all those bottles.
Tiger bloom is pretty powerful by itself too.

Good luck.

Any clue how much taller the buds will get? My lights can only be raised two more inches then I’m screwed. The bud tips now are about 16” from the led lights. The bud tip temperature is at 78-82.

 

[guitarman5150]

Also, some of the buds feel dry. Some had some hairs turning orange already. I thought the temp may be getting to them.
