Looking great. Your climate is ideal and is definitely something others should aspire to. Sounds like plenty of fans. Maybe one more oscillator. Hard to say from here, I like all my leaves to rustle. If there are any that are stagnant....

Definitely looks like nute burn in some of those pics, tha6t one plant in picture 5 is hating it for sure. Dial back the ppm dude. Maybe 200 or so. Shouldn't ever really need more than 5ml/gallon of calmag. Too much cal mag can fucker things up. Mag doesn't play nice with phos, they can lock each other out. Mag deficiency would show up as spots.

Keep it up dude!

Thx LF and Daniels for the compliments and help!!

The plant in pic 5 that your referring to, the one with shriveled leaves isnt from nute burn. There are 2 plants that have a main cola like that. Both of these colas are outside the primary light area of my lights. Thats wh they look like that. The leaves arent getting enough light. At least imho....the buds are still growin and loking great on these two colas so im not too worried about it ...

It should NOT be cal or mag deficiencies as I give 1tsp/5mL botanicare calmag+ in every gallon of RO water. Thinking those shriveled leaves are lack of light. But your right about the nute burn on some. Thats def what it is.....so... I cut out Tiger Bloom this feeding today. Ran this feed solution:

1 tsp cal mag +
1 tsp silica
2mL Bloombastic
3 tsp Big Bloom
2 tsp Grow Big
2 tsp Hygrozyme

1050 ppm
6.4 pH

That cut the feed down about 300 ppm (from dropping the TB) from last sundays watering. That was the initial bloombasic feeding which I also gave TB to them also...what caused the slight nute burn imho.

Kudos to you Lumi.....you called the overdose of P and K from Bloombastic and TB. Stupid local shop guy....lol.

Oh also one last thing!! The CO2 bottle was almost empty already!! My room isnt 100% airtight as there are tiny gaps around the door but i did caulk everything else in the room so ts decent. Shop guy said i probaly had ar leaks around door as the 20 Lb. Tank should have lasted like 2 weeks in his opinion. Unless my plants are eating it all up. And i do have huge lades so who knows....

Since idont want to refill the damn co2 tank every 5-6 days i just ordered a bigger one. Found a 50 Lb. Aluminum CO2 tank for $270 with free shipping!!!

Great fucking deal. Now i wont have to fill the fucker up but every few weeks!! Ill have to work on air sealing the room better before next cycle!!

if you have natural gas available get a co2 gen

Namaste'

Sadly no NG or propane in room available. Have to use compressed bottled co2. The 50 Lb. Tank will rock. Im thinking ill get 17 days or so off it. Plus ill seal the room better after i harvest and bleach clean it before the next cycle. After resealing the cracks i bet i can get 3-4 weeks off a 50 Lb tank..

Hopin I get some clones for next cycle!

MY 20# only lasts 6-7 days at 1500 as well. Another reason I have different PPM's I like to run.

BTW.. whats with all the teaspon and tablspoons? You gots to go ml my friend. Go to drug store pharmacy and tell them you need "the biggest syringe" the sell.. no needle. I got a 100ml syringe for $1.50 ($9 at the hydro store of course..bastards). Tapped a little length of hose on the end of it to reach to the bottom of my bottles. Awesome nute and ph solution dispenser. (and the math is easier).

Cheers!

Seriously, us yanks missed the boat with the metric system. Funny I know how much 10ML is but I have no clue what a teaspoon or is it tablespoon is.

Cool ill hit up walgreens nearby. Thx LF! Currently using a walmart baby kit. Has a marked eyedropper thats 1 tsp aka 5mL it also has a powder solubles marked spoon usefl for measuring out pH powder concentrates. I use the GH pH up/down concentrates from powder. I use the powder spoon for measuring 1 tsp/5mL of the up or down concentrate and add it to a squirt bottle. Got a red and yellow ketchup and mustard squirter pair thats perfect for pH up and down. So i guess i didnt realze the tsp Tbsp convention was poor form on my part. Lol. . Ill keep it standard with nuttin but milliliters from now on LF! hehe

Btw...

1tsp == 5mL
1 Tbsp == 3tsp

Room conditions now running...

Temp. 76/85
rH. 35/45%
CO2. 1250 ppm. (adding 50 ppm to compensate for sentinel chhc-4s error margin. This ensures true 1200ppm PLUS. . )

I top feed soil by hand so every feed solution i list is PER GALLON (RO) that i make. The ladies are still in 3 gal smart pots and i typically water every other day, alternating between feed and plain water (with calmag and silica). I feed about twice a week on avg. And i use about a half gallon of my solution per watering per plant.

I swear I often add micros and other additives at 5ml/gallon simple because it is exactly one cup for my 50 gallon Rez.

The syringe is awesome though.

You are diluting your ph up and down right? Make separate containers at like 1:10 concentration. Easier to add and no nutrient precipitate.

 

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

What is Nutrient precipiate?

Yeah. Im putting 5mL pH up/down concentrate powderin little squirt bottles filled with tap water. Its far less than 1:10 but its plenty strong for my nuted up RO water

Edit -- ill have to post some pics of my water, pH, and nute areas...

Farm supply stores have them cheap. They use them for Cattle shots. I use two sizes. 12ml works well. I use the tbs down to 1/4 tsp. myself most of the time.

[legallyflying]

Lol. Yeah, I'll just run out to the nearest farm supply store?

November 1, 2010 (Part 2):

OK, here's what I've done to try to correct the emerging deficiency problems:

Foliar Fed the seedlings misting them all over with this feed solution:

1L RO Water
pH 6.5 / 150 ppm
1/8 tsp Grow Big
1 drop SuperThrive

I also setup the flouro panel on the timer and set it to run an 18/6 schedule. So tonight will be the first dark period for these babies! No more 24/0. Hurray! Go GO Roots!

I'll post some pictures tomorrow to show how they have reacted to these changes!

I just bought some BioAg Cytoplus for folior feeding and to supplement my SS from Subcool as my Humic product. I wish I would of came across this link sooner. Good Luck in the future. +rep, +sub'd

Hey Troyzkoi thx for the rep bro! Much appreciated. Pics coming in next couple days sub up and stay tuned the girls are getting nice!

Update! Day 29 of Flowering, Day 89 Total...

The ladies are on their 2nd week of Bloombastic as of today, gave them their third feeding with it...today start week 5 of the 9 week+ flowering cycle for my LSDs...heard they tend to run long, like 10'ish weeks..we'll see.

There is DEFINITELY some nute burn on about 3 of them in the middle of my room. The top leaves on them have some nute burn spots all over..you can see it in several of the pics. The buds still look nice tho. And its only on about 3 of the 8 plants, so whatev...first time, mistakes happen. I'm pleased with how they are thickening up and frosting up!!! What do ya think?

Some pics of my Stealth HydroLogic RO-100 and 48 gal FDA food grade plastic Res...
