2nd Grow gonna try mainlining :)

[LetsGetCritical]

well,well Mr Red ! Congratulations mate they look great. I'm happy for you bro.

I see. They dont oscillate then? Do you manually adjust with the controller or does it have a temp probe that you keep it at a certain temp with? I think i may have to adjust the way im using my fans. Especially if im gonna mainline or scrog since they will have a tomato cage or like one of these cool little things i found

I always figured i NEEDED them to be blowing them pretty hard so they would be strong. I feel like they beat the plants up a lot tho.

No oscillation, they are fixed and i manually set the speed. The plants don't have to move much but you do want the air to move as they will soon suck in all the co2 around them.
I have a 4" rvk going through my cooltube (manual speed control again so i can slow it down a bit to warm the room as it is quite cold in the UK at the moment) and a 5" rvk sucking out of the room and through a carbon scrubber and that is controlled with an sms twin fan controller.
I also have a fan heater in there hooked up to a thermostat so that i can set my night time temps.
I like to be able to control my environment and i think this is as important as the feeding.

Day is 25-26c and night is 21-22c
I use these to control my fan speeds, i get no buzzing from the rvk's or clip on fans.

I'll have to look that up in F temp too waked and baked to do conversioning right MEOW! lol
These are the two im using
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200740759856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 This one has a temp probe. Seems to be working nice. Keeps your fan from going all out. But i can tell if it's stopping the fan from running full bore when it needs to.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221271630209?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Havent plugged this one in yet. But obviously you just turn it up or down manually.

Didnt have my cam with me last night but the two im mainlining are starting to look pretty sweet. I got one doing 16 and one doing 8 tops. Just topped em all for the last time last night. I'm so happy i found this mainlining shit dude!! lol

 

[reddiamond]

You could plug your oscillating fans into the second one to slow them down a little and stop them from beating your plants

Day 28 from flip.

These 2 are definately not as big as their mom was at this stage, I'm thinking it's because this has been a cooler run since the heatwave ended, maybe a good thing though as there is not a lot of room in my cupboard

 

[Elderberries77]

Looking lush there Red. Not long now!

 

[reddiamond]

Thanks, i'm hoping if i timed this right it should just about be dry for christmas some to smoke and the rest to cure for new year

What nutes are you using again?

 

[reddiamond]

I'm using all the canna line, coco a&b, rhizotonic, cannazyme, boost, pk 13/14 and also magne-cal+ and liquid silicone.
These are not as big as their mum was at this stage and they are not as thirsty either but that could be because we were having a heatwave and temps were higher so maybe more evaporation was happening.
Yours are looking real nice mate, they do look bigger than mine in your pics and also yours have more frosting

 

[budtoker0987]

U think? granted mine are a week further along tho too. Well, im excited!! for both of us lol. Im strapped in for the rest of the show man!! Keep it up!

 

[reddiamond]

Ahh yes, sorry i missed that, i'll come back to this post with next weeks pics and compare then

 

[LetsGetCritical]

wow, looking great bro

 

[reddiamond]

I'm seeing this on some top leaves and the top of the cola is bright white, anyone know what causes it?
The tips of the leaves are bright yellow, this is only on the top of some parts of the plants and not on all tops, all growth below is dark green. The pics are crap because of the hps but i'll get them out tomorrow and take some better ones.

 

[budtoker0987]

Shit all i know is those buds still look FIRE lol! sorry i dont have the right amount of soil exp to give any quality advice you probly want/need. weird that its like only have half of the "top" on that second pic. adn only up top huh? Didnt like lower the light recently or nothing? that probly sounds dumb lol. Im still trial and erroring myself man

 

[reddiamond]

Day 35, they are filling in nicely now, took them out of the cupboard for some real colours (used flash on camera)


Left plant.





Right plant.






I still need help on the leaf problem if anyone knows what it is, it is on both of them but not directly below the bulb?
