OZN-1 looks like a beast - 5500 sq ft! You're right, that may take some on and off work.

Nice meter! Waterproofs are the best.

Can hurt to flush it a little. You gonna build back slowly on the way back up? Roseman starts it back at half then waits a couple of days and then 1/4 add then a couple of days later jacks it all the way up. They didn't look locked up to me but your a lot closer to them then I am! Looked like normal yellowing during flower. Oh well, can't hurt! Too much is too much but too little is ok.

You probably only need nutes for a week. Are you going to flush with plain water for a week or two?

"...Ahhh, Rocky Marciano. You know, you kinda remind me of the Rock, you know that?

Hey man... You got me going on the Burgess Meredith quotes big time. He was 1/2 the movie... I'm actually high as hell and googling Rocky quotes...

In any case, just got home from a rehearsal wedding dinner for my wife's friend where she's the maid of whatever and everyone was getting wasted but me... I don't drink. In any case, now I'm baked. :hump:

boo-yah.

Actually had snapped off a branch accidentally, so I semi-cured it and all I can say is that it's pretty good stuff. It's nice to smoke your own stuff, it really is.

So... enough of that commercial of my madness.... back to the GROW !!!

I'm about at the 7 week mark, and if these babies are slated to go 11 weeks, I think I'll go back to nutes for 2 - 3 weeks then flush for a week. I honestly think a week is plenty... But then again, what do I know ? I'm a 1st timer here.

:peace:

hey man, what's shakin'?

Yeah, it was all they had... I had no choice and I had to get it done today. That happens sometimes. I had it on for a few hours and it seems to pick up but I'm thinking that I could do 15 mins on, 45 off to start. I don't think that will do anything bad. I also think I need to get the cups of frangrance liquid that I have in party cups around the grow area.

Oh... I also have 1 strong clone going in DYNA-GRO KLN Rooting liquid and it's freakin' taking off. I still kinda have one more but it's not doing as well.

I'm going to go 500ppm in about 3-4 days right off the bat, then every couple of days jump it up 500.

I really think that I was wasting a lot of nutes, especially when I switched to the 'agressive' feeding schedule per Botanicare on the PureBlendPro Flower series... then added all the other shit. My guy at the hydro store said that I was probably wayyy outta range. So, I'll slow the growth a bit, then crank it up to an acceptable standard.

Oh yeah, the TDS ppm meter is the shit. I paid like a hundred for it because it's the only hydro store for probably 200 miles.
Worth it. Shouldda done this months ago. I know there are some who are saying "I told you so" and you know what... You're right !

No problem brah...

I am totally paranoid now about leaving it on too long. The room is really an outdoor shed type of setup so it gets plenty of fresh air. I'm wondering if I'll need a stronger interval plan like 30 mins on, 30 mins off... I'm going to start the experiment today after I get out of this HYDRO Class down at the local hydro shop. 15 mins on, 45 off for starters.


Late'...:peace:

how long u got it on for

15 on / 45 off.

I think I could go 30 on / 30 off. A lot of air is brought into the environment through gaps which touch the outside world.

We'll see...


I gotta say, I had a broken stem which had about 1/8 oz on it, and I've been smoking it for a couple days. TRULY messes me up, but nice & clean. I smoked some yesterday at about 6am and other than having to take a few hours off for this wedding I went to, kept going until after midnight. Nothing like having your own bag. Truly unique feeling.

Thanks for the kind words, yeah, they're hard to lay off now... I gotta get some buds or I'm going to be cutting these babies prematurely. It's so freakin' clean, great high and it's not even CURED properly. I was just in need and couldn't help myself. I know I've broken the 'growers' creed, but it's irresistable! :hump:

I'm thinking my next grow will be better. This EC meter rocks.

OK, for REP... when you're looking at a post by a fellow member that you want to give some REP to, just look at the POST # to the right of their post and there will be this small scale looking symbol. Click on that and it will direct you to the REP page... It's a piece of cake from there. Oh, and make sure you leave your name in the REP field so that person knows you're throwin' props their way.


Oh yeah, Roc... I'm glad you're back. And remember...

DAY 51 of FLOWER:

Well, I had the straight H20 in there for about 5 days or so I believe and things are looking up.

I just cleaned out the reservoirs and filled back up with water and my nutrient mix... I'm actually changing it up a bit, thanks to this hydro class I went to that was free down at the hydro store. They had free samples so my regimen now is as follows:

BOTANICARE

PureBlendPro FLOWER: 2 TBS per gallon

Liquid Karma: 2 tsp per gallon

Sweet: 1 tsp per gallon

GENERAL HYDRO

Floralicious Plus Pineapple: 1 tsp per 5 gallons

Maxi-Bloom: 1 tsp per gallon

Diamond Nectar: 1 tsp per gallon

FLORA...something

MaxiCal: 1 tsp per gallon




I mixed all of that per 15 gallons (my total res capacity), in a gallon jug with a little water. Then threw it in each tub and waited til the ppm's were around 850-ish... so that's basically a PPM nutrient solution of about 700-ish (my straight well water is 150 coming out of the faucet).


I'm going to increase to about 1500 ppm every couple of days for the next week. I figure it will take three 2-day cycles to get up to that PPM.

We haven't had any serious rain for a few weeks but my well water pH fluctuates between 145 - 160. It was 145 yesterday.

I still have to check on the kw charge... Thanks for reminding me !!

Peace.

Any update Nas?
I just harvested one of my plants. Take a look at my journal. 159g wet. Hope for about 40g dry or more.
