Hi Allalo,
Nice start with some interesting strains. I'm an Ace fan and have grown Golden Tiger...and have some Zamaldelica seeds as well. Interested in your freebies. I'm currently growing some indica freebies. Lately it seems I'm having better luck with my freebies then my chosen strains...
Clumpy,
I have a small op and use a 4 bulb 2 footer for seedlings and clones. Even with that small light...I shut off 2 of them for clones. So be sure when you build it...to put switches so you can shut some off. It's gonna be hot...you know...

Hi DAT,
I'm a WaterFarm fan...first run about a decade ago. Currently running three WFs hooked together with diy recirculating system and GH controller. G13widows.
I am envious of your lights...that's gonna be great.
JD
What stage of growth are you going to use it for? And what sort of hydro system.
You may not want Calcium nitrate in late flower. Gypsum is ca sulphate and may be soluble enough...but interactions in res are always a risk. You can find calmag in powdered form. Mix your own...way cheaper.
JD
It was actually fairly pricey for an 8oz tub $17 shipped. Don't know iabout Canadian shipping. That's your job.
Custom Hydroponics is a good source for single element nutrients. calcium nitrate would also work except you may not want the N.
JD
I wanted to apply Ca separately so I could use epsom salts for Mg (for sulfur). I found a product called Converge by Hurricane Hydroponics. It's soluble Ca silicate.

For some newbies...just getting a plant to finish is a big deal. But yours looks very nice. It isn't harvested yet...and then you have to dry it properly. So enough talk...don't want to jinx amuthing. Good luck man...
JD
I don't do anything different before harvest. I lighten feeding the last couple weeks and chop them at sunrise (lights on) I don't think one water feeding will make any difference one way or the other. The humidity thing that Frigault mentioned...may be good, but I don't do it. Those sort of...
Dh,
I've seen organic growers use worm castings as top dressing quite sucessfully. Fish emulsion should work too. They defenitely need something...if you hope to run them 12 weeks or so.
JD
Well for me...that would be perfect. Seems there's been a rash of budrot late in bloom. If you do let it go longer...be careful with humidity and especially humidity spikes at night. After all that good work...you do not want to deal with that. Nice job...good luck.
JD
Pistils are still white...how are trichomes? Your plant already has quite a bit of fading...I wouldn't do a long flush and not yet. Give it a week and re-eval.
JD
PS Love the colors
It was laying flat. And I have 8 other seedlings that are standing tall with healthy stems. I think I caught it early before the stem "pinching in: occurs.
I didn't even expect a response.
JD
Day 1 of recovery...plant can stand with no support, but wobbly. Kept support in place. Stem still discolored. This plant I caught early with no necking on stem...and so far, looks like it'll make it.

I suspect our techniques are totally different. If I don't squeeze the leafy material, my yield would be down 25%. I am not using many buds. This is accumulated leaf and trim. Many tutorials call for squeezing. That's where I got the ricer idea which works great.
