Od, did i send u the ww? I am getting some beautiful hard buds from them. But i am getting shocked by this ak47 i got from tokintom. I have already jarred 5.5 from 2 plants and there is at least 2+ more yet to dry. Can u say 3 pound harvest? I have 10 big aks going in to flower in next unit, cant wait.

Wow, hey hawkman. I was just thinking of u two days ago when i was at a huge eagle preserve and during a show this red tail hawk flew about 2" over my head. Saw some beautiful birds. On the pump i would say the ecoplus 1056, but i would run a 1" manifold as far as possible before splitting.

Right on man! yea birds of prey are awesome...especially redtails. I had one for about 4 years,, I released him in the fields around my house and he would come and sit up in my tree for about a year afterwards,,even come to me when i called him for about 6 months. Awesome birds.

Thanks for the tip on the pump. Remind me.. what is the proper flow rate for these red sprayers? The 1056 sounds like it may be too small for 40 sprayers? 1056/ 40 =26.4 gph and 26.4/ 60 minutes= 0.44 gpm.

Thanks again man...


Iv'e been searching for a new strain to try and that Ak sounds wondefull! Attach one cutting to a pigeon and send her my way...lol

Oh my freakin gosh! I am having a hell of a time over here. My once beautifull plants are sick and stalled out. I Put them in flower 10 days ago as healthy as can be.
I didnt have time to dial the canopy temps with the mini split so i set it at 84/co2 1200 and went out of town for 4 days. When i came back the room was running at 92 and the res temps were super high and the plants looked like hell. I immeaditly got the temps in check now at 80-82 for the past 6 days but the damage was done. Roots got cooked.

Iv'e been trying everything to get this grow back on track. (turned lights down, Flushed, ran zone, low ppms. flushed again added roots excel.. But nothing seems to be working. It's weird though..the roots look bad but not that bad...they are brown but not really mushy or slimmed, just not very pretty. Root rot is the only thing i an think of? Remember these plants were vigouros and green going in. What a nightmare.

Im thinking i should just scrap this grow and start over. ?

Sorry for the ugly pics...need some advice.








And what is supposed to look like

Unless you have plants ready to go in i would give them a few more days and see what happens. That sucks. It took me a while to find the right place to mount tstat but worth it. With 3000 watts plus all accessories and also cooling veg room my 12000 btu mini is at its limts, i leave it on 68 and when lights are on room will hit 82-83. Just make sure to clean inside and outside coils every 6 months and it will stay working like new.

Thanks super... It was driving me crazy so i yanked the right side out. Got enough to fill it back in but it will be a setback because these were for the next room..oh well.. just a little rough patch in the quest for dialage.

Your right about these min splits,,,they kick ass...but they do need to be dialed in. Where did you end up mounting your tstat?

SS, I am finding when u witch with the second part of the bloom formula, that the leaves turn brown and get deficiencies.

What I am saying is they seem to fine with the part one of the bloom formula ll the way..

If i cahnge anything i add the hydroplex and sweet raw to the part 2 ratios but keep the 1:1 gorw:bloom.

I also find that if you make the switch to the part 2. I do it at week 5 rather than week 3.

thoughts?

Are u talking about part three where it uses the soil formula? Because with second part being normal bloom nutes i never see that. I will have leaves start turning about 10 days before harvest but i find the buds get much more dense.

I am talking about the Bloom part 1 and part 2. I dont use part three as it is pretty much identical to part 2, except form the soil version of the bloom.

In the beginning i would do the part one formula of bloom for 4 weeks and everything was perfect and lush, then I would switch to the part 2 of bloom formula the rest of the way. The minute I switched to the part 2, leaves would turn burn brown, and things would not go well. and this is with alot of strains, to some extent if not all.

So i tried to push part one of the bloom as long as possible, a few runs back, and they stayed lush and green, and bud growth continued to develop.

Now I am trying out, keeping the part 1 bloom ratio, but switch that hydroplex and sweet raw to the part ratio. I am using this formula at weeks 4+ of bloom.

I am thinking there needs to be some sort of grow in there, or there is some nitrogen difficiency. I have you messed arounf with 25% grow, 75% bloom?

Maybe I am over stressing that the leaves stay green and healthy, but I am not getting that when i switch to part 2 bloom.

Thoughts?

Something is wrong here? I yanked those plants, took the system out of the room and sterilized it running bleach for 24 hours then fresh water for 8 hrs. I set it back up in the flowering room and filled it with fresh vigorous plants from my veg room. I thought all would be well. But now this is the 2nd day they have a severe wilt and look terrible at the end of the 12/12 light cycle. They perk back up overnight but degrade all through the light cycle? Room conditions are perfect according to my controller. 78-82, co2 at 800ppm. humidity averaging 45%. Iv'e never had this happen before. Im trying to go through a process of elimination... My lights are on the ceiling as far away as can get (4ft). The temps in flower are lower then when they were in the veg tent. Ph is good, nutes are good. What could be the problem?
