You don't need to keep the light close to the plants, to keep them in veg, they just need extra light. I went with a 45w flourecent bulb and that seems to have done the trick for me. I think 300w might be a bit overkill if anything.

So I saw the topic and something similar, with much greater consequences, popped into my mind. Not that many, or any one, is growing with flourecent tubes on this site, but if you were to wire an electronic flourecent ballast, the wire length must be adhered to otherwise you will pop the ballast. The warning is written on the ballast and I did not adhere to the warning... Popped 4 ballasts before I stopped myself to figure out what the fuck is wrong. So with your ballast being electronic aswell, I would maybe just check online for a spec sheet... It might give you more info.

I definitely enjoy Sativa highs more than Indica vibes. Each has their place, but an energetic buzz is my fix

Never turn down a blunt from a mate

I agree... With coco, you either stick to one style or the other... I have had magnificent success with microbes and teas in my DWC.. But that's with inoculations from the word go. The mycorrhizal fungi is chilled because it attaches itself to the roots and the roots feed them. I wouldn't use teas in your coco if you plan to reuse any of the coco... But if you aren't... Then I would go with teas in the coco... Greenkush is correct in saying that the medium is inert so if you over dose on microbes, there won't be enough food to go around... And some will die... That is bad because they rot and decay.. And just cause a whole bunch of shit. Molasses in the coco will help feed them... But you also don't want to go too heavy with that. Try a few things out... Play a bit... Get a feel for the coco and microbes, and let other plants go without

Delicious!

I had an issue with my hps led light where the center grew faster than the outskirts.... It is possibly due to the light being centralized with only one source of light( where the qbs will definitely make things more even) ... But you could bend a few that would be getting the primest light down alil so that the outskirts don't lose out on some light in late flower.

The adjustment in pH should be fairly easy to resolve though... Measure your runoff pH, and make a mix with a higher or lower pH, and stick to that for a few feeds and you should be fine. I would leave a flush for a more serious problem if one does crop up. The new growth with the leaves with 3 blades... Indicates a weird light schedule, even new New growth in veg has the 5 spokes... Just something to consider Has this plant been getting a strict veg light cycle or not really? Perhaps a bit indoors and a bit outdoors? I agree with @Mambawana on a pH issue, especially if you have been following feeding schedule provided by the nute manufacturer.

Upped the EC with more nutes or calmag? Plants are looking better, but I would say it's more due to the fresh res than the upped EC

Fair argument, but still not actually acceptable as a large supplier... They must sort their shit out.. Same as Organic matters soils.... People pay premium bucks for premium soil and frankly... Fungus infested medium is not a premium product.

Well, if you have already done a reschange, then I would go normal strength nutes. With nutriplex I follow the recipe, so I think it's 8-8-8 per 10l for plants that size. I added about a table spoon of Epsom to 35l of water and it really makes the ppm spike! I would maybe go in at 200ppm over and above your nute ppm, which should be around 350. Also add EMProSoil and pH to 5.5, and let it drift to 6.4. Do you let your tap water sit for a while before you use it?

There is some good stuff here! I must disagree with the root zone developing its own bacteria... That's some next level Darwinism right there haha!! The roots can't make bacteria... But they can feed bacteria that is introduced to the medium by dumping carbohydrates which the microbes eat. Hence introducing diverse teas for the root zone As for your leaves, I wouldn't say it's a toxicity.. But rather a possible lockout. What is your ppm and pH sitting st? I know you have had decent success with using your res water for long, but I must say that I have seen similar growth with reses that haven't been changed in 5 weeks and longer. For me the sweet spot is still 4 weeks. If you want... You can add just some of the micro and none of the grow and bloom. That should get you till your flip date where you can dump the res and make it fresh. Also, have you been adding any calmag? To be honest, I think the plants look okay still and recovery should be swift

Yea the lux meter on the phone is pretty useless for PAR. But it is still a good guideline in terms of light intensity and light placement. If you have decent lights and you trust your lights, then the lux meter is pretty handy

Yyyeeeeaaaaaahhh boooooooooi!!! And now... You do the things... And then you smoke the buds

With heartfelt disappointment I must say that I have terminated my entire grow. There's some shit at home with my ex and I have fucked off... I pulled everything and turned all my lights off... There is nothing left. Peace guys! It's been great! Catch you on the flip side

Funny guy neh. Put your haha's where your mouth is papi... I'm beginning to think you haven't even harvested for the first time yet

Hahaha!!! I'm keen! Im only on 14 strains of which only 2 are bagseed gems that have proven that they are worth it

Things are getting wild guys! My outdoor collection is taking shape with a ton of sick shit! Ghost train haze Mint OG Aurora Kush Chiquita banana Grape diamonds Ayla blueberry Inzane in the membrane The above are all in the ground, the below are in pots Critical mass x2 Charlettes Angel x2 Banana Grove x2 Girl scouts cookies x2 Chocolope x gelato Chocolope x4 Northern lights And one plant I can't remember the name of All in all... 23 outside enjoying life

The world will never do away with the black market... It's prices will never get beaten because they don't need to pay rent for a shop front, it's not made up of huge corporations... It's made up of a huge multitude of little organizations that just need to take an order, get the money, and move on... They aren't taxed... They don't have to do any advertising... Why would someone with access to what they want via their channels, pay double for the same thing, just because the legit shop owners need to pay off huge overheads.

LOL I'll choon the stomata on underside of your prized bagseed I have grown a decent amount of bagseed out, more than 100 for sure. Is very rare to find one plant that's decent. And even rarer to find someone who is willing to take cuttings of something they have never smoked or flowered. Im saying that out of 10 bagseed plants, you might find 1 or 2 that are okay But with paid for genetics out of ten, you will get 7 or 8 or more decent plants. It's really not fun spending weeks or months growing a plant you think will be amazing! And then after harvest it's not what you are looking for at all. You can carry on doing you bru... But don't for a second think you are doing yourself a favor by not growing tried and tested genetics from well spoken of seed companies.

Now you're cooking with gas papi!! That looks like a winner! Do you have the 250w in there? If so, I had awesome results with the bulb surface 30cm away from the canopy! Keep an eye on the res as the ladies will start to driiiiiink!!!

Looking good! Those plants need to really grow quite a bit before they reach the net Im not sure you have taken into consideration the stretch? How I scrog is, I put the scrog near the current canopy, maybe a bit higher if the plants are small, then I let the plant grow through the net, and every few days, I pull it under the net and let it grow up again.... Always maintaining the canopy all the way through veg. Then I flip and let the plants do their thing. You must not do too much training in bloom! Trust in your veg and your scrog

I'll help you if you happen to be in that situation

Don't grow shitty bagseed. Yes you might find a great plant... But nothing... And I mean nothing compares to decent genetics from the start. Get quality seeds!!!
