Smoke N Grow nutes versus Jack's Professional

[rastadred22]

they look ok, but yes they could be better, all buds are a thing of beauty to all of us and your buds are pretty but your leaves are dying and look unhappy, keep reading, come back and ask questions (or pm me, lots of folks do) every one that hangs out in my threads will help you if you need it, just keep reading and soon you'll have a deeper understanding of the plant and no longer be confused about all the silly myths. the big thing is to learn to read the plant, learn to listen to it, it will tell you things once you understand it and once that happens it only gets really great

dont think u coulda said that any betta!

Go riddle. I think jaks will rock this no doubt. In the end it will be the most sugary and dense nugs

What can I do better at this point? How do they look in the pics? Bad, okay, good?

everyone had a few issues here and there when they first start growing...as did i...soon as my plants started flowering ahlf the leaves would turn yellow...its part of the learning curve...after a few grows under your belt and you start learning to read them...and find a strain and trait that works well for you things will get easier and your grows will look better...like in my case i found that i grow indicas better then sativas...dont know why..just seems i have more luck with indicas

Well yes we had another growth spurt, Mangos are now at 15 inches, I am going to flip them next weekend so we are close to the good part of this show starting.

The re-veggin has started I have included a pic of the deformed single leaves that start this which is normal, once this has begun regular leaves usually form within a week and once that happens the plant grows really fast due to the larger root system

I have also included a pic of my mutant runt only an inch tall this plant is 4 weeks old, I decided to nurture it and grow it out to see if has any properties to add to my breeding project, speaking of that after watching the movie I post a link to where they ask breeders to add the CBD's back into thier projects (which included thai) I am now happy that I started with the NL #1 thai/afgani landrace cross.

Also note I have rearranged the garden due to taller plants shading smaller plants the SNG mango is now in the lower righthand corner, the jacks mango is still in the same spot (unmoved)

And you will see the little STP that I defoiled gotta say so far the branch structure on this plant is twice as big as the other STP that is the same age and still has all it's leaves, I estimate that doing this will add at least one to two more weeks of veg time but am very interested in seeing how the plant is responding, I may actually use this instead of topping,,,,we shall see

One other tibbit to share, with the bitter cold snap we just went thru I have been fighting low humidity, I told you I had 2 humidifiers running, I then had an idea to use an extra deep fat fryer that I had, it has adjustable temp setting so I was able to adjust it to cycle right at boiling point and put it in front of a fan (it only cost $19 at walmart) and it raised the RH 14 points in just an hour. Another thing I have noticed because I am doing several strains is that a few of the strains are reacting differently to the increased RH (I know, I know I said we should stick to one strain at a time, this observation is yet another reason to do so) a warning for anyone that might use this method to increase RH, ya gotta keep a close eye on it

Enjoy the pics

actually I have only pointed out the 2 that are in the growoff, I left all others for folks to guess

 

[kingofqueen]

Nice Update , your plants are looking great as always . I take it your diggin the SNG . It will be interesting to guess which 4 are on the Jacks nutrient !

 

[rastadred22]

lookin good riddle! they def. growin fast

 

[gumball]

yes, very nice. i had a runt, stayed with one screwy reveg looking leaf for over a month. I originally found its tap root in a discarded starter cup, said lets see if it takes. i knocked its 16 oz pot over, twice i think. now it is the largest in my garden and grows faster than the rest!!!

cant wait to finish the video, it started out pretty good. thanks for the link

Dudeoflife, I am a first time grower here. I was reading in one of the first posts on this thread that your nutes will auto PH. I have some really crappy tap water and was planning on using RO instead. Will I still need to add some Calmag to the mix when using your brand of nutes or is this something that is in the mix and not needed to be worried about? I am really interested in trying some of your products just because of the ease of use. I swear that while reading on here I have found so many different mixes and nutes used by so many different people that it has made my head start to spin.... well that and the fact that I am baking while I am reading! Thoughts and advice all happily accepted!

Missed this one...

Hey Allister-

If you want to keep it simple, you can use the 2-1-3 Grow as the base, and N-Factory as your flowering additive. 2-1-3 by itself has enough MG for coir and N-factory has plenty of it, too.

If your tap water is crappy, you can mix 1 part your tap to 3-4 parts distilled, and use the above regimen.

Now you've got me guessing!

 

[Illumination]

Saturday update commin (though late) busy day in the garden

 

[kingofqueen]

Staying tuned

Flipped them to flower today, also made it rain and fed em. the mangos are seeing some issues, all 3 are showing a cal/mag def as well as an N def, since it is only showing in the mangos I figure it is strain related but took a pic so you could see. The SmokeNgrow plants got the 2-1-3 packets today (they have been gettin the week 2 grow up to now) and I added some epsom tea to the Jacks plant.

The 3 stepchilds were not ready to flower so they moved in with the re-veggers which are doing very nice (4 of the 5 took) and took a few pics of the defoil experiment, as I said earlier I really like what is happening with this. One pic shows the side by side, same strain, same age, one defoiled, one not as you can see they are the same size (hieght) but the branch developement on the defoiled plant is much nicer as you can see a bottom branch has grown up to the canopy making for 2 dominant colas (so far) I removed some more leaves this morning (it makes em pretty fast) if this works out I will most likely start doing this instead of topping as I really like how the plant is responding so far

gonna pull some clones tomorrow and we wait for buds

 

[gumball]

looking great as always

 

[kingofqueen]

I got my guess in for the 4 on the Jacks ! I just have to read back to figure out which 4 those are now . Those are looking really good , I,m seeing some huge fan leaves . MMM thats strange about the Mango's , I,m sure your looking into it . As always Impressed !+rep if I could !
