I remember when my grow box used to look like this. And then all of sudden there is no space. :-hilarious

 

All looking good. Don't stress too much about your ph. Anywhere between 5.7 and 5.9 to 6.0 going in is fine. Some genetics are fussy but most aren't.

Little update, the plants still look like crap and I'm thinking this so called Pro organic mix is not so Pro, looking like I have a magnesium deficiency so I foliar sprayed with some Kelpak, Epsom salts and molasses. Hope that sorts it out. I'm going to find the freedom farms soil and use that rather.

 

Main point of the update is there is a light up for grabs in the competition section. Sponsored by Craig from Sanlight, please go and sign up. 

I'm confident in them so grabbed 2 and included it in the box.203f33bbf470d706d3649be477eddc3a.jpgf82ff88466bebc67b10dc3539f9bcc88.jpg19ed16764837a398289a7b5554235c79.jpge5e531e7aeec42e7c22ea365dc7c15ae.jpg57c6cdbe0af13ae8debebc709df25103.jpg485bcadd7ed4582fe099c04ecf27dc06.jpgd91ba52b798f4280f9bde96964070185.jpg86dbddd1f1c0d75ba1d99ce1dc45e299.jpg05faa45005dccedc8a5ffe6dab68f42a.jpg

EM pro soil, Fulvic and humic acid and a little bio grow bud and that's it. Recently changed over to freedom farms soil mix, the organic mix done in house at the hydro shop is not that great, In fact I don't think they cook it properly so very hot.

I want those lights ;) my hood reflector doesn't spread light to the edges, need to supplement lighting, those LEDs will be ideal. What is your current feeding regimen ?

Those LED are available in Cape Town Z, they are sponsoring a light in the competition section. If you would like a direct contact number let me know.

New leaves are looking good, plants seem to be doing well.

They where in fact struggling a bit, the next day things looked a little worse so grabbed some Freedom Farms soil. Also bought EM Pro Soil, and will be using A combination of Amino, Fulvic and Humic acid to feed the soil. For those growing in soil, check out a Duran based company called Efficient Microbes and grab some of their Pro Mix solution, it's been giving a fellow grower great results. The Pro mix will be fed through this weekend. Over and above that the plants are loving the new soil.

Are you referring to the organic promix from hortishop perchance? What do you mean by very hot? And by cook do you mean charge?

Yes that's the mix, I'm no professional but the soil mix has way to much coco and no compost at all listed. The plants did like it at all even when I up potted the clones they reacted badly. I later found out the pro mix is not good for seedlings also, with coco comes a high salt content I suppose.

 

A pic this morning they looking way happier, the leaves are showing me they loving it.d47d2d14313bb5d88e71133b5a623691.jpg

They certainly are looking way better. Been a week since changing up the soil and the leaves are some much more of a darker green than before. Did a feed yesterday of water and EM pro soil, that stuff is amazing in it lowers my ph to 6.5 which is spot on. Now I'm awaiting some freshly made humic and fulvic acid from a mate up north then we will be in action.047df19a1dfd91cadb9ea9dc90210e53.jpg182f5eb04aabc6d9528e63acc21d7b94.jpg4bb6983855f6f993a1fb49e556472259.jpgc8918f16c7a5d4932664e8958267d846.jpga5f137ca3e1a37ae1200010efac00ff0.jpg9be3a3ad10896d695aed80afdb56d932.jpg4577ec07fed4f8494995c41d17bbf55c.jpg

Sup guys and Gals,

Update of note, last 20 days in this soils has been something of note. 12/12 has been hit as the space has become very limited. So far so good is all I can say.

Strawberry Amnesia bean from Dynafem rooted for the next grow, GSC clone finally taking and have GG4 clones which I'm hoping will root along with OG, Violator and KO Kush bag seed.

 

Have a pleasant evening all.

Looking simply amazing. I foresee great things....

Shot Z, I hope so 2. I have a real confidence in the medium I'm growing in, especially after meeting the guys themselves. The have a lot to offer us, including stuff like microbial feeds, fulvic and humic acids.

A visual update of how things are coming along, have a little calcium deficiency on the CM and fed a bit of Gypsum with water. They also began to look a bit droopy so ended up cutting the bottom off the pots and put those in bigger ones, think they are becoming root bound. Ended cutting out 4 males so 4 remains which I'm happy with.

Topped the seedlings, took 2 clones of the Vanilla and the  2 of the DC and all took root. Will be sponsoring a few of them along with 9 Gorrila Glue clones I was able to pick up from a friend when he and I did a cloning run on a plant of his.

Anyone in CT want a GG clone lol

 

Thanks for checking things out All.

All 6 seeds have popped so that's off to a great start, should be getting the Girl scouts cookie.

Other than that it's fucking cold atm so hope the plants survive, temps in the box not to bad.

Pretty much all for now, keep it real.398309ee9a17ca50b738ea6391476a37.jpgcb99973180b94828861d5597a4abc59a.jpg

Hey Gang,

 

Just a quick visual update of how things are looking. Did my first defoliation so please let me know if it looks satisfactory or did I do 2 little or 2 much. Did really touch the CM as those were not topped as much as the VC and DC where.

Thanks for stopping on by.6d06b6e0379aeec29a4db7dd70df5a53.jpg17ffadde5f2abfe3f60e2e7ca85f90fe.jpgc22da41511e96586b1363c34566542ef.jpg5ce5f20b4c0b6fc24903c67ef895717b.jpga000dc4ba27e1d0c7d904a5a84a56e92.jpgf6031fdfd95a43515db21892dea00106.jpgb60a33c561b3ce9b155626a930ca1159.jpgdf58057f4dfef8201537c00c8ad729f3.jpg18fbf911b9f68ebc5ee3d8753416b80f.jpg
