My problems started with my soil not buffering ph properly. Soil pH got really high and locked damn near everything out. Got my pH under control and then she burnt a little (you're right about the Urkle being light feeders). Gave her a week to recover a bit and flipped her. She is still looking a little rough but she is adjusting. We'll find out how much I really set myself back in about 8 weeks. Ugh.

I also have the same issues. I added extra lime to the soil and still suffer from ph issues if i dont adjust during feeding/watering.
Took me awhile to realize uptake had all but ceased. I decided to flush heavy with ph'ed tap. There was definitely some root rot. This strain has especially thin, delicate roots. Very little room for error as far as overwatering/nutes. The flush did them well, they all recovered mostly. Took almost 2 weeks to see buds forming., i hope they forgive me.

Sunday Funday with the Quantums :
Infinity ( Mylar ) room
420watts
3000k / 4000k
288 - 304 boards
12/12
Peyote cookies is blooming strong BUT has been yellowing way more than I like -
Cool room temps ( 65° ) has been an issue as heater went south on me.
And it's too late to knit them sweaters ... Slow P UPTAKE has been a given ...
So I tried to get some heat going in today and tonight plus gave her a PK boost
( HYDROPLEX ) make a bit more available. She smells bomb AF and is getting fatter.
Just got to ride it out best as I can til chop. The Candy is having a milder issue and is a strong bitch. Reminds me of a bush big time , I did a light defol on her last week and she filled in fast.
The White Dwarf is doing her thing and has about 10 or so days left.
Very spicy smell ... Some cloudiness setting in . Pretty fall colors.

Autoflower Grow that got outta hand.. Seeds planted on Jan 1. Skunk is on right, 2 lemon in the middle, blue cheese on left (in 1st pic).
2nd pic, qb288 x2 3000k 2100ma in middle, qb120 x4 3000k 2100ma on right side, qb132 x4 3500k 1400ma on left side.
Side lighting in first pic is qb120 x2 4000k running on hlg-120-48.
Total of 1,536 diodes... (I think my math is right)
Still got some weeks to go. Loving the Quantum Boards.

How many watts you have going in there?
4x8 right?
Looks great, I just got myself a 4x8 yesterday.
Going to put 3 260watt qbs kits and 4 132s
Should be around 1080 watts

@Stephenj37826 QB11 Quantum Boards Deep Red kits look interesting, when will they be offered as a kit with driver?. Looking to add some to my little flower cab, using the original 250watt kits x 2 QB304's.

Some photoperiod strains have autoflowering tendencies. Just recently had that happen with some Zamal and last week with a Bodhi Jamaican hashplant. It's always males that do that for me

Yes 4x8 Sunhut blackout (that I got for $125, gotta love a good sale).
Running 2x hlg240-2100ma, 1x hlg185-1400, 1x hlg120-48. All running full power. Not sure how many watts.
This is my first real auto grow and had planned on having 4 small plants that would be almost done by now. I have 3 candy cream and 2 girl scout crack that have filled their 4inch rockwool cubes and have no where to go til these darn autos finish. The autos were supposed to be in my old 4x4 so I could scrog the photos in the 4x8. The autos kept growing and growing and now I have quantum boards hanging like cfls, just trying to light everything as much as possible.
I made my own red and uv strips. 14 diodes on red (mix of 660 and 730) and 10 diodes on blue (mix of 390 and 450) haven't had a chance to add them yet.

Quantums bouncing light deep into the inner buds .... Wish I had a better camera cuz it looks much more dramatic than my pic ...
This is why I re-skinned my tents basic reflective surface with 2.5 mil Mylar sheeting.
Since it has waves to it which my fans move slightly it bounces light in.
These little sites have a beam all to themselves !
Maybe that God dam Indy I'm puffin on is makin me misty ..... Lol

The plant is a Bodhi Buddha’s hand. Funny it’s same breeder and part landrace lemon Thai. It’s a boy tooSome photoperiod strains have autoflowering tendencies. Just recently had that happen with some Zamal and last week with a Bodhi Jamaican hashplant. It's always males that do that for me

If I have to guess, that comes from the Thai side. Since day length in the tropics it's constant or nearly so, depending on distance from the equator, such plants probably take some other cues to go into flower.

Weighted my harvest last night. Got around 1866 grams but it isn’t trimmed yet. Everything is holding stable around 62% though. None of it is very leafy so I feel pretty confident in saying i got around 1.5gpw of good bud.
