cheese420 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yes indeed GLO....Gave her a watering and sprayed her down with water as well which explains the shiny pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yea I could see they had been sprayed , it was the leaf tips pointing down I was wondering about. It was either just watered or you had a nutrient problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hmm yeah I had taken the pic as I watered and switched off the lights for a bit Had a look now and some are a bit down I ....thanks for spotting that actually will need to sort that out Do you think its too much N? Noticed I am giving them a fair amount of Nitrogen in the feeds according to this schedule....from week 2 which is now it starts to cut down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Do you have spider mites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Not that I know of or have seen....? Another issue has come up though....The new bulb keeps turning off. I turned the ballast to the 600W option (gthydro ballast) and the new bulb turns on but a clicking sound is present in the light fixture that never existed before....few minutes later the bulb turns off and ballast remains on Edit: The bulb is also not a Osram plantastar as I found out today. Its a Lucalox PhotoSynthesis light from gelighting.com....Not sure about this brand at all...I really hope its a bulb issue. Was wondering if maybe my extension cords are able to handle the amount of Amps drawn when the 600W is plugged in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The first pic you posted , the leaves look to have mite damage but it may just be a trick of light with the plants being wet. The bulb is probably not compatible with a digital ballast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 The leaves are back up and praying towards the light...Hmm ya I dont think I have mites but will definitely keep an eye out Ah I really hope that is not the case....Never knew that could even be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Yip so the bulb is a 400V bulb which probably explains why it keeps turning off. Seems some ballast companies stock 400V ballasts for these kinds of bulbs in their "Pro" category. I really hope I can get it swapped for the 230V version or a refund Pretty glad nothing extreme happened in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 UPDATE: Day 19 OF 12/12 All going well so far. Just busy getting that bulb replaced which is taking longer than I would like The one girl as you may notice has stretched considerably...other seems to have stopped and now is focusing on bud production Still feeding daily at pH 5.8 with the odd feeding being just a bit off pH wise Hps on Non-hps According to seedsman its a 9 week strain but I think the one that wasn't trained will go longer Hoping to pick up some bubble bags next month for after the harvest and not let any trim go to waste!

cheese420 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Update - Day 30 of 12/12 Everything is going well with feeding daily at recommended strength nutes. Had the 600W bulb replaced and is working perfectly. I am slightly concerned at how close some are too the light so I have begun tying some down and also cutting away some bottom growth. Pics were taken at day 28 I believe. The buds showing in the non-hps pic are from the one that stretched too much and as a result I put a weight on the top of it to get it to bend over back under the light (The top grew past the cooltube). Buds on other female are gaining some weight...will get a nice shot of her on here soon End of the month I should have a small veg area up for the new strains to start while this grow finishes off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese420 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks gents lol UPDATE - 39 days since 12/12 Here are some pics at 39 days of flowering. I am having a bit of an height issue and I think one or two cola's is too close so i am trying to remedy that...I haven't had much time to tend to them besides watering unfortunately. Watering still at full strength daily. If I could water twice a day I honestly would but I don't have the time most days. Pics were taken with phone camera so they not the greatest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrailBlazer Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Some beautiful plants you have there Cheese. Looks like you're going to have some nice fat colas soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Update and more - 52 Days of 12/12 So just a small update with dubious phone camera pics (the lighting in the room with lights off isn't good unless at night) I am going to start feeding with 1/2 strength nutes till day 60 then do a 10 day flush. Suppose to be a 70 day strain...one may go a bit longer than that They have been packing on some weight lately and finally a bit more trichome coverage...hoping they frost up more in next two weeks. They look much nearer to being finished that the pics suggest @TrailBlazer sup man sorry i forgot to reply on other thread lol I definitely remember your grows from previous forum...some nice DNA genetics strains! Hope to see what you got going now in a log Here is also a Scotts OG seedling (FEM) from Rare Dankness....germinated in shot glass to paper towel and then when it cracked was placed in a jiffy peat pellet. Did this so I have no transplant shock when I put it into the coco...seemed to work out well, don't think I have had a seed germinate as fast as this one did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks @Skolley! But it now appears I have some bud rot I have pretty good air circulation so Im not sure how it set in. I think it may have been after a heavy misting and did it too near lights off Its on the big colas and I had to just throw away a big chunk of one. It affected mainly the points where there were leaves dying already. Fuck I am upset....I think I better just harvest today/tomorrow before it really spreads. Today is week 8 on a 9 week strain...

cheese420 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 I actually have no idea whether to harvest or not.... I cut off all I can see....The one case I wasnt sure if it was just a bunch of dead and dry leaves/calyxes or bud rot....another part of a top cola was definitely a bit strange so I removed it...opening it up I did see some brown and it was squishy. These plants have only had 3 days of flushing which is a concern...id like to at least let them go 2-3 more days just so I can flush the nutes Any insight or advice here?

Guest kimcarsons Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Why did you mist? Too early still by the looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 It is a bit early but I don't want to risk all the bud...I took once branch down that was partially affected and it fell over I normally mist them from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Shit bud that sux.... The spores from the rot will be everywhere but you should be OK for another day or 2. Misting is a really bad idea in late flower. One you harvest you must also then clean everything properly because those spores will hang around waiting for another suitable host.

cheese420 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Became a habit I guess since I did it in veg often. Didn't do it much in flower but I think a poorly timed one is the cause Helped keep potential bugs away and dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Risk out weights reward I feel that late in flower especially if you only spraying water. There shouldn't be much dust or any bugs in an indoor grow. If you having issues I would try filtering your intake to stop the dust and keep bugs out. Just my 2 cents Cheers GLO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese420 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah I'm regretting it big time now Reaf do you think I should go ahead and harvest now and not risk the whole grow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
