My truffle pig 3 on the left and grape preserves on the right. Week one of flower. Getting these leds down finally it helps having them on perpetual.
Those plants look great. I've been using leds for years. I found the combo of led, coco, and reverse osmosis water to be especially challenging. Now I re-mineralize my ro water, I quit using coco, and I've just gone back to organics. Whatever you're doing is working, so don't mind me.

I've got 3 Apple Tartz seedlings going. The pack had 20 seeds. Some of them are a little light in color, but I picked the 3 best looking ones and they're some of the healthiest sprouts I've had lately.

Thanks I'm in coco and ro so took me a min to get the temps and feedings down. The truffle naturally does that leaf twist like gg4 but kept thinking I was overwatering till I ran it a couple times. Popped two preserves but one was runty and picky so it's chillin in the veg tent and this one is a beast already huge stems.

Sucks had to get used to small tents and perpetual too I used the whole room going for years but not supposed to grow where I'm at and the neighbors called the cops. Good thing I learned to never answer the door lol they came 3 times in wannabe swat gear but there was no evidence and luckily no smell at the time. It's legal here but not with the landlord so cops got pissed n gave up lol. The downgraded tents don't stink the street up now at least

Damn you've got a set on you, son!

I should probably put a carbon filter back in now that I've got new neighbors next door, if it starts smelling anyway.

Tents do have some advantages, and you don't have to tear the room up quite as much.

Leds have been known to put extra cal mag requirements on the plant, and coco does weird shit with cal mag uptake. Looks like whatever formula you've hit on there isn't having issues so keep doing what you're doing, adding the same cal mag, etc...

Honestly boys, one thing that I like to do and I found that my plants like is- doing half r/o half tap...the ppm's of my water that way are still low and some strains seem to like it better.

Yeah I was bout to try that my well water is 240ppm but lots of iron so idk. I was doing ro with 150ppm calmag and canna forever. Trying jacks without calmag and it's been decent just need a boost here and there but half and half would probably fix that.

I don't know about half and half with well water, you probably need to filter it same as me. Whatever minerals are in my water, it's not like a cal mag ratio you can use. Indoor plants get weird brown spots if I use don't filter the water. Outdoor organic doesn't seem to mind it, though.

I ran Jacks RO with no additional cal mag last run and it was fine, but I get more excited about organic buds.

I do half r/o with half tap...throw in about half the calmag I would use with just the straight r/o, so about 2.5 mls/gal. My plants seem to love it and I don't feel as bad about wasting water. R/o wastes a shit ton of water.

Yeah it does. I've got a waste reducer on mine, but still. My water comes from a mountain spring though, so at least there's not water supply issues here.

I actually have a tote with organic soil I made a couple runs ago just nervous to start it because I've only done it once years ago. Got sip totes ready to go too lol been thinking of doing this icc beleaf cut I got off Strainly in it. I hate all the ro and runoff waste too.

I know what you mean, growing with Jack's, etc... is super easy and you're unlikely to run into problems. I'm just doing small personal grows and breeding, so I might as well be organic. I was doing chem just out of laziness, because you can mix up a big reservoir and use it until it's gone.

I'm making clones organically now again using the Clackamas Coots method. For the flower room I got some 3x3 smart beds that I'm gonna put on my drip trays, then throw some Fox Farm Ocean Forest and earthworms in there.

This will encourage me to eat more fresh veggies. :mrgreen:
