Damn man just spent 10 minutes reading your last pages, and to be honest I think you need a new nute line.
This whole time has been constant stress with deficiency after deficiency, imo growing weed shouldn't be a stressful thing.
Thats like having sex to not get off, you know?

o.o i feel for you bro

what are ur temps right now??? you said like 90+ ?
Right now lights are off and it's 77F and rH is 40%. The temp just before the lights went off was 86. All this week it was 88-89-90 lights on. This is the lowest it's been all week thanks to my stoner innovation lol.

Here is what I did and oddly enough it's cooling off the basement nicely

It's about 78 in my kitchen and living room area so I'm using that box fan to help push cold air in the basement lol It's actually working :confused: That's the best I can do!

Thanks for making it through those pages lol Lots of stoned rambling. You may be right about the nutes but I also blame user error. I wouldn't mind trying HB again though, but only after I get a good ph meter or a tds meter now that I know how important it is. The ph being off all this time was bound to show in the plants regardless of the nutes I used (I would imagine this to be true).

I'll take some Day 32 flower pics tonight since the basement isn't like an oven. I may even do some group shots :)

The cheese girls are really pumping out the trichomes right now. Their smell is sooooooo good, just not all that intense yet. The kush buds are getting fat as hell and just starting to show some inner trichomes, still not enough to make me wet myself. The lemon skunk girls....oh my how their smell has suddenly changed! They started off as a real intense skunk smell. Now they smell super sweet with a nice citrus twist to them. I cannot wait to see what these girls do next. They are really making a turn for the good and could end up yielding extremely nice.

I wouldn't jump on the nutes. He was using those crap pronged meters, so I would blame it on the people he bought that thing from. They should ban them they are a complete waste of time IMO

That's pretty much what I am planning on doing. My girls venting is all messed up do to moving my tent into my bedroom and moving my bedroom out to the living room (kind of making it a studio w/ a grow/ computer room :})

I might go get a box fan to push cold air into the room, as I don't have central AC here. I have one of those twin fan window units that I am attempting to exhaust using that. Duct tape everywhere hahaha I will post pics up tonight. Gonna get ready for class now! tt ya'll laterzky

I think you should just mix in Dolomite Lime on your next grow, and say fuck pH.
Mine is a constant 7.0 or so I hope, and I have never had a deficiency since I've been learning from this website.

I mean of course there are parameters that can increase growth, but if you read that pH chart a while ago, it shows how easy it is to lockout nutrients.

Dolomite is great!.. but I would still watch ph.. because once its off.. and has been off for a while.. its such a bitch getting things right.. Just check it EVERY SINGLE TIME and you will never have a problem... ( lockout wise lol) .

Hey dubbz.. I know your probably busy as hell... because things are getting great in that grow!!...I just wanted to tell ya if you got time.. I started a round 2 in my sig :)

i luv the lime, iver since i started growing i been through cheap ph meters, no ph meter , checking ph with other chemicals, until a wise man told me about dol lime. i don't even check it any more i just add it to the soil and every once in a while in my water, my ph wa 6,3 last time i checked but its organic so acidic ph i herd is ok as long as its not extreme

The things we do for our plants haha. They kicked you out of your own bedroom! I love seeing pictures of peoples ideas come to life. My idea is actually working, even if it does look ghetto as fuck lol

Me saying "fuck ph" is why I'm in the position I'm in! I've been scratching my head for weeks wondering what the problem could be, and it's been my ph. My next grow the ph will be on point from day one til harvest day. I will be looking into adding dol. lime but 7.0 isn't where I really want to be. I want that 6.5 all the way thru.

You know I'll be checking that ph every time bro lol After all the shit I've been going thru with this grow I'm learning what's really important and what isn't. I stopped emptying the drain pans underneath the pots. This has helped keep them happy for an extra day without having to feed every single day.

You know I'm gonna sign up for your round 2! You've played a major role in my grow so hell yea I got the time for you. :D

dub if your looking to change nute line look into technoflora seems super ph stable
Since I have a ton of HB nutes left (I bought gallons) I'm going to give them another try. Knowing what I know now I think they deserve another shot. What made me go with HB is a video on youtube that I can't seem to find now. A guy was growing three different strains and they were all looking amazing. He used the 3 part HB - micro, grow and bloom (what I'm using) and his buds were HUGE. When I was shopping for nutes I was told by the guys at the hydro shop that HB was a great choice, just a little more expensive than some others. My errors seem to be giving them a bad name when I really can't blame them.

If I do decide to switch, I'll most likely go with General Hydroponics or Advanced Nutrients. That's a big IF though...

Might as well try to use those nutes again .. why add more variables.. once you get everything how you want it.. then you can experiment.. I really like how you reflect on your grow.. I think your gonna get this down in no time.. Seems people who understand their mistakes and learn from it always succeed.. the ones that never improve wont acknowledge their mistakes. Im sure this harvest is still gonna be a good one!.. and the future ones will just get better and better... Another thing too.. just keep working other strains here and there .. you will find different strains are waaaaay easier to grow.. Some will like more nutes.. more heat .... less ph phinicky .. ect. When you find a few that grow well in YOUR circumstances.. it makes life SOOO much easier.

You need to move to cali! We can get Steez and Lantern .. myself and you.. open a co op .. get a industrial location.. lol

Exactly. For all I know I could switch up my nutes and still have the same issues. As humans in nature we learn from our mistakes, well most of us do anyway lol I know I do. Once I make a mistake it's extremely rare for me to make that same mistake again. Unless we're talking about women... that's a whole other story lol

One strain I will grow again is cheese. These things aren't as big as I thought they would be but they enjoy everything I do to them. They look and smell amazing as well. I'm about to post up some pics tonight.

Man if I could pick up and leave here I would!! Just not sure I could be away from my son for too long. When he gets a little older it would definitely be something to consider. I've been talking about leaving this state for yearsssssssss, just never got around to it.

ps. Bud Show is going to be soon. I took pics of the kush and skunk ladies but I was dripping with sweat so I took a break. I'll post up the pics I do have now then go back for my cheese ladies. Stay tuned!

Up first this time is the lemon skunk ladies. They've come a long way so they get the spotlight tonight! These pictures came out kinda shitty and I'm not sure why. The camera settings haven't changed any... ah well here they are anyway :mrgreen:

These kush girls are getting BIG buds. I'm going to need help keeping them up next week I can tell. One of these plants has a giant bud coming off of the very bottom branch thanks to supercropping. The problem with that is the branch isn't very thick so it wants to fall over lol.

The pics are smaller than usual and all mixed up. I'll try to figure out the problem when taking my cheese pictures. Those will be up soon!!

The kush plants leaves are still all fuckin red but thanks to BKB I'm done worrying about it! lol Thanks BKB! (he told me that you don't smoke the fan leaves!! this is true!!)


Be back in a bit. Gonna go sweat out some more pics in the oven I mean basement....

OUTSTANDING BRO... doesnt look like the leaf problems are getting too much worse.. TRUST that you have tons of healthy foilage .. and you will be fine because your already over 30 days.... the deficiencies wont really matter soon.. only a few more weeks and you will be flushing or tapering anyhow.... If my high blabber didnt make sense .... all im trying to say is....

KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING :)

Go with the Advanced Nutrients



regards,
That poster is Hilarious .. Still dont like advanced though .. OVERPRICED.. and they could condense half that crap down into a few additives.. No need for how much shit you have to buy .. only reason is Profits..

BUT all that said.. the shit does work.... just not any better then some lower priced nutes... imo!
