My top 69 looking pretty good. This picture was taken in a room lit by 2700k bulbs so that is why they may appear yellow, but they are a nice light green so im not worried. My Mazar kush plant made a full recovery and is coming along pretty nice after being smashed into two pieces only a few days ago.

Looking good RC.

I just did the unthinkable, I used half strength all purpose nutes with micro nutrients to get ahead of the deficiencies I'm seeing. Hope they don't burn yet again.

If they do I may have to change my name to Burning Man.

Those look fantastic great work! Im still pretty new to the indoor grow scene so my first couple grows i just go with tap towards the end. Idk if that is optimal or not though

EDIT

i took 4 clones from my healthy mazar kush to slow it down a bit so the damaged one can catch up and also i can continue the strain if i enjoy it.

@Broseidon those look lovely. Please keep us posted, would like to see what they look like when you do your final flush.

Your not alone, will be flushing mine again today, picked up some Clear Royale, never heard of it but its all they had in stock.
I was too low, and in my overzealous newbieness its now too high. RO was about a 7, so it shoudnt be too bad. Going to run a gal of flush mix, then a couple gallons of h20...

Will get some pics too....


**UPDATE**
Got RO down to 6.7 and gave them some bloom..
Here are a couple pics, more updates in my journal..

Canopy, about 6" from light.

They were about 8" when I switched to 12/12... About 18 - 20" now a little past 3 weeks later...

Not sure when they will stop, but they have slowed a bit this week...

I tied one of them down a bit today, the other two were a bit shorter so it evened everything out. I have a little more horizontal space if needed.

Like I promised, here's my babies.

This is the deficiency that I'm fighting. It was caused from pH lock out. The plant is B-52.

This is my beast, Kaya Gold. Rated a very good smoke but poor yielder so I LST'd the fucking hell outta her. (Still assuming it'll be a her)
Keeping on top of her growth is a daily job, next time I'm going with chicken wire at the desired canopy height.

The temps here are still to high for the plants but there's not a whole lot I can do about nature.

Oh yea! No nute burn!

Tomorrow marks week 6 of flower. Do you guys think I should give her a light bloom feeding or just go with tap for the final 2 or 3 weeks?

pics as usual

If you haven already you should let her just eat her leaves for a few weeks. Give her a diluted nute feeding of about 1/8 of the regular every other water. But other than that. Looks like its goin from the top down should help with yield with the lower buds and everything. . Clone this bitch and see if it's a genetic or environmental . The leaf necrosis I mean.

Im still going to throw my T5 in here to veg them under i was referring to my flowering girls. I can only fit 3 in the tent and i think if done properly i can do much better without the restrictions. Also it will be in a basement so temps wont be an issue so i wont need to use my vent motor anymore just some fans.

Day 65 of flower, harvest day! The Trainwreck was a bit behind the Blueberry and probably could have used another good week. Unfortunately my grow box is my dry box too, so I am unable to harvest them separately. The Blueberry is already at 20-25% amber trichs and I didnt want to let them go any farther.

Both of these girls were far stickier than my 1st grow, and although overall yield looks to be less due to the heat problems I had, the size, density and quality of the buds is definitely better. Periodic flushing with clearex made a world of difference in overall health and bud production in my opinion, and I would recommend to everyone a regular flush every 7-14 days.

My grow consists of a 3x2x3 grow box with 250w hps. I was not able to use my 2 42w cfls this round due to heat. I am using str8 perlite hempy buckets, 5L in size. 3 part GH flora nutes, with liquid koolbloom, florablend, and floranectar as supplements. Buckets would dry out perfectly every 2 days and I would feed a moderate solution every 2 days, the only time I gave them plain water was a gallon each after flushing with clearex every 7-10 days. This seemed to work really well, although as I pumped them with more P and K I did notice some slight burning, so I will need to tweak.

Well here is some pics before and after cutting.
