Grow Mediums Attempting 2nd Grow for the 4th time :)

[witchyhour]

All I'm doing is trying to lower her ppms if I do what I've been doing her ppms go up so I figure I should cut back calmag and koolbloom to drop ppms or am I mistaken please let me know

What I do when it happens is remove water from the container (a few cups) and replace it with ph'd water so it dilutes the tank. I save the water I tale out so I can add it as the numbers go down. If it's a big plant that eats a lot, I may let it stay around 1000 right after feeding, but never higher than that, and not that high for long, since a starved plant will lower it back into the 800's fairly quickly, like in two days or so.

Day 66
Ph 5.8
Ppm 1090
Temp 82
Humidity 46
Rez 76f
Plant 11.5inches away from light
Plant height 34inches

Bitch is frosty as hell smells amazING inside the tent.
...I need her to pack in the Colas now she's still got small buds If I'm gonna get a good yield she's gonna have to tighten up


New gallon mix
240ppm calmag
150ppm koolbloom
540ppm nova bloom
2ml hydroguard
Tomorrow I'm not gonna add any calmag and bump the koolbloom. Then the following day I'll give her a little bit more calmag and less koolbloom gonna alternate.
I'm getting excited and impatient

Day 67
Temp 77
Rez 74
Humidity 40
Ph 5.5
Ppm 1100..was 1170

Added 1 gallon.
2ml bloom 540ppm
4ml koolbloom liquid 170ppm
1ml calmag 200ppm
Bumped ph back to 5.7

When I add ph up my ppms go up by like 100 soon maybe I'll cut the calmag completely I'd rather have a lower ppm full of bloom nutes.


Went back under her skirt took all the crunchy leaves away and a few shoots that were buried and not developing.

Day 68
Ph 6.0
Ppms 1240
Temp 79f
Humidity 45
Rez 74f

So ppms climbed high didnt add any nutrient solution. Just 1 gallon of straight ro water. Took my ppms from 1250 to 980ppm
So we will see tomorrow if i need to dilute more or if i should add more nutes. Still have at least 2 weeks left before i can flush.

Day 69
Ppms up to 1100
Ph 6.0
Temp 77
Humidity 50
Rez 73

Brought the ppms back down to 990
On sunday ill give 2 gallons of straight ro and drop the ppms down to about 500
Then ill giv a full dose of beastiebloom by itself....shes still drinking a gallon a day. Trichs are clear and some cloudy i dont see any amber so there is still a chance she will get fatter. I hope because its going to suck if i have to cut all these small buds

 

[jtrain252]

I was thinkomg with a few weeks left im going to stop adding calmag. I think her leaves should have enough for her to finish. Would goving her higher doses of pk be better to try and put on weight. I just dont see her packing on weight it has me slightly worries
I was thinking of draining rez and running 1ml grow at 350ppm with 250ppm of koolbloom and 200 ppm of beastiebloom to try and fattenher or am i jist being impatient

 

[woody]

Yes mate your just being impatient. She will fatten up just give her time. You can grow perfectly healthy plants with big buds with just grow and bloom nutres.
The main ingredient in bloom boosters is phosphorus and potassium- which is already in your bloom base nutes. Also koolbloom and beastie bloom are practically the same thing. So just use 1 at a time.
The plant can only use up so much P and K until she starts to get tip burn. Rising ppms means shes taking up water but not nutrients because she has enough.
Less is more dude! Sorry for the long rant lol

 

[witchyhour]

Thank you very much. Im trying very hard lol this is very tiring lol

It's all consuming to me. I live, breathe and dream about my plants and growing, etc.
