Looking good Kush.

Are you noticing any differences with the CMH compared to just the LEDs performance wise? Other than having more light?

You're gonna like those C99s, I have C99 x A11 going, and have smoked C99, one of my favorites of all time. I couldn't find the seeds anywhere, so I settled for the cross, the pheno I chose for the mother is C99 dominant it seems at least, smells like pineapples kinda.

this is actually my first time growing with HID and as far as I can tell performance wise there isnt much difference...before i started flowering though i did notice that after a full day of led the girls looked happier than after a full day of CMH..............but its definitely not like the HID is blowing the LED out of the water or anything of the sort, the coverage and penetration are where the HID kicks ass

I have been noticing an ever increasing fungus gnat population over the last week or so...the stick traps are doing there job of alerting me of an infestation so i decided to take it one step further and give the diatomaceous earth a shot.....the fungus gnats should be gone pretty darn soon

Kush nice stuff you have happening and I am sure the pests are already being taken care of. Have a Q if you get the time would you look and tell me in your opinion if I would need cal/mag additives. A member suggested I add those to my sauce and I have had my tap water tested and my PPM's are cal 250 and mag is 175 with zinc and iron in the 90's I am using GH 3 part with the micro which I believe should cover all essential elements combined with my thick water, which by the way tests 650 believe it or not. Thank you in advance for the help.

well , you already had your water tested so you know you've got plenty calcium and magnesium.......650 is freaking insane, my tap was always around 240ppm's here in southern cali.....cal-mag is only a serious issue when using reverse osmosis water....your looking good in my opinion

Thanks that was what I have read and truly appreciate your time, after all I have learned a great deal from your threads. Tap in AZ sucks for sure but weeds really dont seem to care. Thank you

The Garden Day 34 of Flowering


I noticed single blade leaves on the tops of the Trainwreck today....im sure i dont have any light leaks in the tent, and if there was a light leak why would only one plant be affected....i have been turning the cmh back on after about an hour or more of led lighting only toward the end of the light cycle...maybe the girls dont like going from noon to evening and back to noon again.......anways i wont be doing that anymore and hopefully the problem is solved if there is a problem to be solved

Bin A: just started this bin with composting waste on the bottom as a starter bed
Bin B: was full of fruits and veggies and covered with composting waste to jump start the process; i dug it up a bit to show the fresh waste down below
Bin c: composting away


Bin D: final composting bin
