So yes if you don't get any offers to mentor I'll help out as much as i can.

Just carry on hand feeding and slinging waste that comes outa pot bottoms atmo and don't over fert. Feed a fert ec around 0.5 on top of whatever your water is so if hard water is 0.5 ec + 0.5fert ec = 1.0ec total or if soft-water just go at 0.5ec

Erm i don't think your saving much leccy from juice box with those lights. Not my cuppa tea LED although I'll prolly be switching over to it for Summer months
Yeah no that’s fine and like you I’m busy working too thanks for your honesty I’m growing in a building with heating and my feed I’m mixing up at about 1.0 ec with an 0.8 run off watering every other day at moment but the x 3 that I have which do you think will
Turn out the best all rounder?.

Anyway enjoy your day and thanks.

Is 1.0ec just ferts, kinda is your water soft-water 0.0 ec cus if that`s ferts only they really need dropping by half (0.5fert ec) or you`ll be cooking those soon enough, way too high atmo.

Got me a Barney`s critical kush in atmo, man I've seen top buds off these size of size 11 slippers done under a 600hps.Owt with critical in mix tend to be mahoosive buds

How to find a mentor

Post by FarmerGiles »

Well out the tap my EC is 0.4 and the PH is 7.3
My mixed up Nutes PH down etc is at EC 1.0 PH 6.3 so maybe water it down a bit?.

Ah right, well i know it don`t sound much but i`d prolly be going in at 0.8/9 all together myself with your water and if ph is around 5.5 to 6.5 i wouldn`t bother to much ph`ing your mix till they`re a bit bigger cus that ph- raises ec slightly. I mean you prolly will get away with what your feeding 0.6fert ec on top of your 0.4-hard-water cus 0.6ec ferts isn`t much tbh. If you leave them as is just keep eye on them and if owt looks dodgy get them run through with plenty of water and lower ec a little. It`s your shout at end of shift, leave them or lower ferts a wee bit

Run off means feck all atmo tbh unless you`ve got problems, its just a not so accurate guide as to what`s going on in your medium nowt else, but if you were using it as a guide you would be lowering feed by around 0.2 roughly, but that`s roughly as said its hardly an accurate way and kinda a more or less rough ass guide type way of telling you shit.

You've got the right lights for the job.
If you've grown with HPS you'll find led a piece a piss.
Lots less heat and I think a better flavour.
Totally agree buds are smaller but the flavour is intensified.
I've found my best results with LEDs is with Indica and more Indica leaning Crosse's.
Get a lux meter or an app on your phone to measure intensity.
Aim for 65 to 70000 lux in flower

You could grow all of them, take cuts and keep them as small plants, then when the original lot have finished and you know what dope you like best, you know which ones to run with.

:idn:

God luck though dude.
