its going good, besides experiancing the light bleaching on a few buds and i also have encountered a bad cal/mag defieciency as i dint think i needed the calmag with my tap water.. have been useing a little epsom to finish out this grow with cal/mag in the mail for the next ones.. will be harvesting the c99 this friday.. ill throw up a couple pics i took the other day.. ignore the leaves lol little embarrased but live and learn still geting used to the hydro and the hps.. also have 4 more iced grapefruit i put into flower a week ago and have my mothers going in my veg box along with my next batch of c99 that will get a 3 week veg.. will also post pics probally on sat after i chop the c99.. i have now realized i might be waiting a little to long on c99 as the prime time to harvest is 52-55 but i was thinking that was from first pistals and ive read that most people take at 52-55 from flip.. so friday will be 60 from flip 53 from first pistals so hopefully i still hit the prime window.. will be checking trichs tnight..

leaves shows bad cal/mag defieciency however buds are stil doing great so ill be def adding cal/mag to my next batch! pics taken on day 46 from first pistals, 53 from flip.. everything will be much better on the next runs since each strain will have their own system.. laughing buddha is rock hard smaller buds but will also pry harvest around week 12.. iced grapefruit will go another week and a half-2 weeks and c99 is hitting the chopping block this fri

im pretty sure the issue start about a month ago as u can see the start in my last posted pictures but i dint identify it as cal/mag thought it was from light bleaching.. which both were occuring.. i have not used cal/mag yet as it was hard to identify under the hps until a week about 2 weeks ago.. i started using the epsom salt about a week ago. no noticable difference as im sure there to far along to help much at this point.. wasnt able to order cal/mag until last week so ill start using on my next batch.. buds still seem fine on these guys just shitty looking leaves and of course im sure yeild will be reduced a bit.. but since im working on my perpetual and have more in flowering ill just live and learn and once i chop the c99 i might add some cal/mag for the iced grapefruit and laughing buddha to finish but dont think it will do much at this point.. plus ive heard not to use cal/mag last couple weeks anyways so its really only needed during first part of flowering..


as for nute levels i think i was running a little hot the whole grow.. switched to full strength after flowers where showing.. usuaing fox farm feeding chart but im going to run half strength on my next batches until i know they need more (if they need full strength) ppm around 1000-1100

Man those look good there! My widow that I was scroggin just wasn't doing good at all so I chopped it to keep from wasting nutes. The root ball wasn't what I would have expected on a plant that old. And I'm having a cal/mag deficiency problem on my midnight kush. It's still doing good but I can clearly see it's not doing all it could be.

thanks mike and sorry to hear about ur widow.. yea i didnt think the cal/mag would have been that big of an issue but it def took its tole on my crop.. luckily i was able to save it and didnt effect buds much except yield of course.. got some cal/mag for my next batches so we will see if i can keep these guys a little greener to the end! c99 is almost ready for jars.. debating whether to jar it tonight which would be the end of day 4 or to wait until tomarrow.. they feel like i should probally jar them tnight.. crisp to the touch still a little spongee but i think if i wait until after work tomarrow that it may be a little to dry.. iced grapefruit is hitting the chopping block on friday! man shes got some fat nugs! cant wait for her! laughing buddha doesnt seem to be doing as well.. just not getting verry big.. rock hard purpish nugs but shes kinda stoped fatening up and is just fox tailing now.. hmm not sure if the cal/mag took its tole or not cause shes suppose to go 12 weeks and shes only on week 9.. might have to chop her friday too..
