Alright Roll-It-Uppers, here's the new thread where you can catch up on the latest happenings inside my grow tent land. I blew it and BLOGGED my grow journal before, which I'm not sure how I figured that one out. Pretty lame tho, the blog format. This thread format is much better:clap:. Good thing it only took me 19 journal entries, and two fellow RIUppers giving me some good flak to figure it out lmfao :lol:

A little background on my current grow. I'm about 2.5 weeks into flower on some Big Buddha Cheese. Using General Organics as my base nutes with some other good shtick mixed in. See pics below. I'm sure it'll all evolve over time.

Everyone's welcome, so grab a 'bowl and a cuppa,' and enjoy yourselves :peace:

oh, and here's the old thread, if you dare. . . https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/293124-bobotrank.html

I appreciate your organic style!!
i just use lucas( flora bloom flora micro 2:1) and 30% h202. 1100 ppm the whole time but i let it fall 200ppm before i harvest. SOG style. i like to keep it simple as possible. sometimes to a fault. im lazy like my mentor, mister al b.... your rockin a helluva canopy there mad density. u thinkin defoliation or lollipop'n??? .. what does your "under growth" look like?.

Thanks Donia! I need to get my ppm down better (and get a meter). Right now I'm flying by the seat of my pants with this GO line, as it's my first time using it. I'm sorta the scientific type, so I'd like to have a better hold on that stuff.

I did some initial pruning, but yeah, definitely thinking about trimming off another couple of branches perhaps... trying to wait and see how much they stretch :) Will update my under canopy view soon. . . What's the latest you can prune at? Week 4 is it?

Noticed a couple of curled leaves today... is this over feeding? I just gave them ph balanced water on Monday, but I'm new to this Roots Organic soil and these GO base nutes, and I'm drivin' out of control lol :lol: see my post above...

Thanks in advance for any help. . .

Your plants look effin healthy. The bending of the tips might be from a slight PH imbalance. Thats usually the first subtle sign I see if my PH is a bit off. Have you flushed at all?

Thanks CD! I haven't done a full flush yet... how much you reckon I should flush w/ if I've got about 2 gallons of soil per plant? 2 gallons per plant?

Just raised the light, too, Donia. We will see if that helps. The plants are pretty green right now... I think the hps throws things off a bit... they do look quite yellow in these pix! I assure you they are not. The buds are all green in real life :)

What ph do you guys normally water with? I've been trying to let mine vary inside of the 'acceptable window' as I've heard it helps in nutrient uptake. I might take my meter into the hydro store w/ me next time and see what they say about it's accuracy (despite the fact I just calibrated my last use)... At first it was super quick to give me readings, and now I feel like it lags a bit. Hmf.

I try to keep mine as close to 7 as I can in soil. As far as flushing I would just follow the instructions on the container. I use Botanicare and I want to say I use 5ml or 10ml but yours might be different.

Good to know... will check it out.

How do you usually check your soil ph? By the water run off below?

Bobotrank~ Over all everything looks Irie. A few leaf tips up is not bad unless it continues and more flip up. Then I would say it is too dry in there. And maybe lights are too close or heat is above 85. If you are organic you do not want to flush, if sythentics, flush away. I would continue to feed every other watering.
Ph Well set it at 6.5 after you add everything and use within the hour. Ph will rise or lower after a few hours. Do not worry about ph soil, or run off.
Raise your lights up until you see the leafs reach up for them, then lower one or two inches. Flowers will bloom faster.
