i wont be doing a monster veg with these maybe another 2 weeks mate , dont have the room. will finish them off in the pots they're in.
if i can hit 2 oz a peice or around that i'll be happy
You should be able to pull 2oz a peice dry if the pots are large enough, I can pull 3-3.5oz a pop out of 6L pots in coco under a 400w.

i'm using nothing in the way of chemicals and am not adjusting the ph, never have done. the water we have here is bang on neutral and chlorine free.
just a good organic soil in the way of plant magic , bio grow throughout veg and i think i'm gonna grab some plant magic old timers bloom as the ratios look very good, decent amount of Nitrogen and it has added magnesium

Have you PH'd the water fresh from the tap to see if it's "Bang on neutral"?
i have mate. i used to work for a pool & spa company on pool maintanence and tested it several times. although it can vary depending on the weather. but the soil acts as a buffer on it's own and from my understanding the bio bizz nutes do lower the ph somewhat.
never had any major lockouts on any of my plants.

So what does it come out of the tap at?

ph was of first couple of weeks, only fed it twice once was 0.5ml per litre then 1ml per litre (biobizz grow). noticed this just under 2 weeks ago maybe thought it was a cal/mag def so added 0.5ml per litre of magne cal+ a week ago and its still spreading am i being impatient or could this be under-fert maybe? im running out of ideas here anyone got any ideas its bugging me now....DSCF0276.jpgDSCF0277.jpg

This striping in between the veins is a Magnesium deficiency.

And the spotting here at the tips is a very early sign of a Calcium deficiency.

Fix your PH and feed more cal/mag.

looks like you have had a ph lock out issue affecting calcium and boron uptake which has been adjusted by extra fert rather than pH correction, now you have high N affectin phos uptake and your root zone may need more oxygen. Remedy water with PH and temp adjusted water (H2O2 may help) til they pick up

not really no, as i say never used ph adjustments and with growing all organic i wouldn't want to go adding chemical ph down.

Right, I'm going to try and explain this so everybody reading understands but I have to ask you logical questions to do so.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be an arse and IC3 would just say that I'm a knowitall cunt on a soapbox but it really is for the benefit of all.

Perpetuated forum myths and failure to understand simple chemistry is what causes a lot of problems that need not be.


Before I can explain I need you to define to me your understanding of what 'organic' and 'chemical' mean?
