@dbrn32 my tent is 336 with 6 inch exhaust n I have 2 fans floor n top. Humidity usually between 34-55 lately it bin in the 40s . n temps day time usually 80-86 night is 75-81 … I was thinking of putting the mars hydro ts 2000 in my tent n caddie corner it. Cause it jus lil to big length wise… An I jus check past 2 days humidity bin in 40s for most part… Maybe its the heat … I notice all my plants started looking identical after first grow . all my buds from different strains looked the same orange hairs n fluffy airy weed … I think i may try new soil when I get money… But I feed early miss 1/2 teaspoon of biothrid 2-4-4 n no burning after 39 days but gold leaf n super lemon r in same soil n got burned after 5 weeks of growing that’s why I said my soil must b enough cause I had given some biothrive n big bud to couple plants n no burning but any. When I get few bills this week I wanna get new soil called vermafire or I’m going get sohum living soil cannabis crave or great lakes or potforpots superb soil I havnt decided yet but idk I jus feel like I’m doing something wrong some where
Something probably is off, you just have to figure out what. Step outside of your methods with some of your plants and see how they compare to others. Could be something simple like not watering enough, or often enough. Maybe an issue with what you’re feeding or lack there of, or maybe the stuff you have is good but your timing with it is off. Bio thrive i have used, but not the rest of it.
I’m going to figure out this soil ? So I’ll do a solo cups of Roots Organics and one with Pro-Mix to see what’s best for now as a starter soil , I don’t think mixing both is a good idea to start off plants with , the ph is running way high after 2 top dressings of dolomite rapid release lime I crushed with a hammer to make fine dust . It worked but ph is still over 7 and Push Kush is ready to start flowering and about to get a nice freezer chilled feeding in a one liter with .5mls of open sesame, flower fuel , Cha Ching
Nature’s candy , Velokelp and 2% calmag not 3% with a ph of 4.6 and ppm at 1050 so hopefully this next one will lower down below 7.1 to at least 6.5 are I’ll just have to keep trying as it falls slowly and hopefully the roots is now starting to really root for budding and will help buffer ph and ppm as the plants uses what it needs . 2 gallon of Roots Organics soil in the canopy bag with one gallon of promix is not ideal for a starter soil .
Which I was blending with happy Frog and it’s was a much more better medium to crank start seedlings from seed… so I’ll be grabbing a few bags here shortly if I cannot get seeds to start in one or the other soils by its self verses mixing .
She is starting her mission to the finish , 23 days above dirt this ILGM OG Kush auto is going into preflowering after the first week getting horn worm attacked , started on 10/14 with flowering plants to finish and topped and transplanted , wow I’m so sorry poor baby , just shows how tough some of those strains can be , and some can be just as fragile.
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this to most of those who communicate with me here , "But if you want good trichome production early on in your flowering time , try to chill your feeding water cold are add ice

I think I’ll give her a dab of some dry open sesame to get them tulips to start spawning inwardly and get the pistils firing on all sides yeah. Put a dab of Nature’s Candy , VeloKelp , 2% Humbolt Calmag not 3% and and a dabble of flower fuel to perk her up so she can start her stretching with a dab of cha Ching to get them terps to going , she will stink good , unlike the last ones , they never really put out that aroma in bloom the last 3 and I think it was from the carbonated water over load .
I’ll get my dirt sample test done so I can get 3 more autos ready to go , I’m like @flyinghigh I was having germinating issues , and I realized I was over soaking , and forgot to soak in h202 peroxide first to break down that other layers of the seed husks , but it happens when don’t remember every little trick or details short route .
Regardless to what , it’s seems to me she is working it all out on her own under the dirt , and just taking what parts it needs as of now , yeah the ph has been a bit hot

8.6 for a week under 10/14 flower schedule


It did not go as planned after finding a Itty bitty leaf eating worm that was barely visible , but with closer looks , they were under attack . Tge Jack bean popped with this one was not as full or big , but healthy and strong and this plant was on a move from when it hit the dirt .
Than my unproven planning and prep did not cut the frozen mustard ice cream with half dill ice cream , yum are pistachio yes ! A nice ug bubble gut release right after a nice fat 35-35-30 mix of kief , CBD hemp and Turkish pipe tobacco with some exclusive bud .

I’m still in Awe it’s not a shelf box product as to such , half tobacco / half THC bud or CBD bud and THC bud in 5 stick pack for $23.89 + FiCa!
I’m getting excited about it now , even though it did not start out off to the races . 23 days above dirt today and a 75 days from seed to harvest and yield can be maximized with training of course it’s OG Kush that’s become one of the chosen few to learn and start with in what profiles says , super easy and very forgiving to growing methods .
I remembered my very first journey was an og plant and boy I fried it with the Ole Famous Fox Farm (G.B. B.B.and T.B.) I think it’s not a fair exchange on how much money Fox Farm had made off that Trio sell and marketing , I would bet every person who first started attempting to grow and raised up they own plants
, bought the famous Trio ! I don’t think it’s a grower who has not used it are abused it in growing . Man I burned the same plant 3 times in that grow and the og kush made it and the white widow was not all that shabby , kush came back in the transition, got some green color and broke loose . Fun times.
I’m excited about this plant here like big time . The start PH was 8.6 for like 2 weeks in a solo cup under 10/14 & it does not look nothing like it’s beginning story , Glory ! I’m still not really understanding how or why it was even possible . I mixed 3 gallon of some 8 year old shelf saved Roots Organic in the green came looking bag , but I did have it tape as tight as I could get it back than , is when I packed my few things I kept right before the first big surgery day . And I put 2 gallon of the 8 year old promix #4 with Michorhizi and 1 tablespoon scoop of Bio-Live to premix with Azos at a teaspoon and Mykos as a Tablespoon . Than after I checked runoff once plant was planted after being transplanted from solo to wicking air injected chamber pot , it was 8.6 and I was like oh oh , holy shots ! Wth did I do now , I’ve added something to much , so I started reading labels on all what was in each medium and fertilizers to see if the ratios was doubling up by being in two of the different soil or fert I had to find out , in order to have any chance at the plant growing out completely healthy without anymore compromise or transplanting.
I started immediately Ph’ing my plain water low to 5.0-5.5 and the ph never adjusted , it was very consistent at 8.6 for the first 2 & 1/2 weeks and than I just happened to read @Hellraiser responses about how he amend the recharge and like a big grizzly , I blew out one of them big hmmmm and say ahhhhhha. ? That’s it , that could of been my wrong doings , I’ve should have not mixed the soil but yet layered it like I always did , being organic it had the possibility to mimic some of the same Organics that are in the fertilizers as well , so I knew it might not be in my favor to get the auto or any of the Mix 2.0 auto mix pack to grow . Fingers and anal hairs is still braided not just crossed , so my shit don’t come out like it’s in the house in this , cause right now with that shot of hot warm appie pie of 180 moonshine from the foot hills of Ole Tennessee there yeah and a nice cold double scoop of ice cream strawberry with real berries , oh woo its gone look like a massacre as soon as he shits ! Lmao !
But I’m really thinking this auto kush plant is going to be a slight redemption plant of some nice strong potent good quality stank gas , that I’ll have no other choice to run air purifiers and dehumidifiers in conjunction to control and I might spray them with a nice shot of liquid nitrogen once I think they done to give them that nice full dense feel!
I think it might just fan out and it’s plenty of all what it’s needs to veg and since it stalled through its vegging and the soil is much much more alkaline to the low 7.1 to high 6.6 or above , once it’s gets a dose of the open sesame and it’s already in preflowrr with that ice cold water nutrient splash I just gave her , I think will be that pushy kushy come back like ah push it duh duh done push push pupupupupushiit , yall know the sing !
I’m thinking if I should leave the 4k PGZX bulb in the LEC/CMH and just let the XTE with UV and the heavy Red and Infrared just over lap with the 4k and see how that might be a difference here if I can hold on to that the full next 52 days , hmmmm pondering and thinking ; are should I just put in the 3k PGZX bulb in the 315W LEC/CMH and run the XTE full blast at full power over lapping that wave once she starts her short stocky stretch as to node spacing is so insanely close , I’ve never had a plant to node this close ever , except under one circumstances with a T-12 and the lights was literally on top of the entire canopy and never burned but it was extended timing forsure . Great smoke
back than in college.
The 3/1 tent , I’m looking at it and um thinking I might need 2 more inline fans to circulate and control the Temps and humidity by at least 15° upper or lower I like to have control in that in case I need to used for some strange producing strain . Like Hawaiian Runtz , nice huge big full budding pretty coloration strain like it’s tropical , strong structure for heavy bud weight nice .
I’ve noticed significant growth by doing 1 feed a week of
Fulvic
Recharge
Molasses (optional)
Tribus (optional)
Seaweed or fish shit
In 20 days went from 6-8” from soil to 27”
Very nice and strongly possible , if not more to be honest as your lighting gets stronger. But many hybrids just don’t have it all , so helping is often necessary than optional is what I think was being stated ?
Out of likes. I put optional because recharge already contains acids molasses and microbes. I know not everyone buys tribus, YET. I use them all. LOL. But after doing so they are extremely hungry and it’s hard to keep up!
@Low I do my recharge like @Hellraiser , I sprinkle a tablespoon on the top of the soil and water it in with either water or nutrients .
I think hellraisers method is feeding the recommended amount in 8oz water or nutrients after you feed or water.
This will make a nice Scroggins screen and I’m about to see if I can get 2 nice size ones to fit each bucket singular . It’s the screen deal that comes with the cheap Central air filters from Wally World over err ? That’s would be a nice site small whole lot of nice fat popcorn buds nuggets. I can almost see it full now with the zweetletooth kosher cola’s , it put out some nice 5 1/2 grams colas tops , just not this many, would be a game changer !
I’ll get 3 more and maybe ziptie them all together, verses cutting it to fit a single pot hmmm! Genius !
I only have biothrive bloom not the rest I have fox farms an ilgm fertz as well… But yea I jus put humidifier in tent it jump to 57 then I turn back on exhaust brought it down to medium n humidity is now a steady 50 with 80-85 temp… I also lowered the dial on spyder 2000 to 20 and I put up my fullspec 32 watt red white blue switch n flipped red lights on so IMA see how that does otherwise IMA step back n keep reading n figure out why my buds keep getting fluffy an airy
@yoshi, so I’m not giving them enough, I heard of gold leaf nutrient I was actually checking that out, Ight so IMA try giving nutes n hope they don’t burn out… That’s probably them problem I’m using the soil, bio thrive on couple plants, n then top feed
with dakine 420 soil… So I’m going start giving the fox farm nutes cause my northern lights an my girls blueberry lemon came out little airy n fluffy but had nice taste but since then buds r airy fluffy n all look alike… Idk
@Buck29048 are those plants Sativa dominant ? In most cases sativa buds don’t hold dry weight after its dried and cured ? This is in my experiences now my brother . I can show you with a photo of two buds about the same in size but completely different in weight .
What lights are you running ? Adding the blurple to you’re setup should have been going , all light I’d great light, even candle light will grow a plant , well allow it it grow but not nothing like we trying to do , but in all essence you can start a seedling with one candle .
I don’t think it’s nothing you are doing wrong regardless if you are using added amendments nutrients , fertilizers, dry dust , are liquid . Organic soil is the way to be honest in my opinion , it’s always been my yearn to learn Organics and the micro life part , I find that very intriguing.
Weird but it’s how life is preserved .
Have you tried growing both strains to do a comparison to bud density yet ?
I think airy is either strain driven are weak lighting , but if you have at least 200-300watts you should get some nice solid quarter size nuggets regardless . If all your bud is airy , this could be environmental and maybe some upgrades might be beneficial if your are liking the growing and learning aspect of things yeah ?
I don’t think you as a growing is doing much wrong . I strongly believe in less is best , plain ph water if I could get away with it , but the same as to training in the 3-6-9-12 rule , I thought many would also understand the feeding nutrients importance at those week stages of the plants life would help enlightened more cultivators and rookies maybe , but those weeks are not just critical for trimming , topping , and training , those weeks are also important to as nutrient feeding , because the weeks are timed and carefully thought out according to life stages of how the plants progress in those weeks of growth . Meaning anytime you compromise the plants with a physical touch by cutting a fan leaf , are bending the stalk this way , any type of physical action that’s done by the grower , I created a guided time line for mostly over anxious growers and beginners to help learn discipline in growing . I’ll need to re-write that as some simple 5 step beginning Golden Rules For all Beginners are First time Growers Aye !
When you compromise your plant physically , you must bump up the feeding Pam’s a little so from the stress you causing , the plant will need a little more food for growing and now to repair whatever compromised you done to the growth in at that time ?
Maybe I can find some more minutes in the 24 to cheat and re-write
" 5 Beginning Steps to grow Train plants with less Stressful experience!"
I’ll take it , especially on the numbers it’s been growing in , this right here is proof?
I’ll post my ph and ppm runoff in a short video , but what I learned to not do , is wait them out and see what the plant says are speaking by its growing ?most times trying to flush them out does more harm than good in some cases , cause you flushing out everything suddenly all at once and you have not found the ppm range the plant is happy at yet !
By waiting it out , verses flushing as soon as your ph are ppm swings High , I wait to see how tge plant will respond first , cause as many people don’t understand about nature and this type of herb , it does not required a male to reproduce , which makes it a very adaptable surviving thing that it you gave it the minimum basics , water with ph 11 and dirt with ppm of 89, 000 the plant will still find a way to adapt to those numbers and survive and it will self reproduce itself to continue its genetics in the wild, will make babies on its own like Mary did with Jesus ?
I think I can invent an exhaust box fan that will attack to the one of the top 4 corners in the tent , but recycle through water
and also serve as a cooler for high Temps
, it will be a square
cube but directional to the middle of the tent for directional air flow control .
@flyinghigh the 45 minute H2o2 soaking was a germinating success my friend . I soaked them 45 minutes and out in a damp piece of paper towel and label it with date and strain , ND this time verses just soaking in ph water like you have be doing , I was also attempting that strategy and was not getting accurate germinating rates and lost about 6 seeds total after going back to the basics of the very beginning , How to germinate cannabis seeds successfully each time and gave the peroxide a go and they all popped ; so I planted all 3 in just plain soil mix , nothing added yet cause I was not for certain if I was mixing my recipe to hot to fast , kind of lacking the basics and trying to skip critical steps , which is a must growing from seed . It’s been so long I had to start from seed each time , I thought I forgot something or I was just lucky
!
They all popped and now planted , 2 in Roots Organic soil and one the Bubble Gum is in Promix Sunshine # 4 with Michorhizi, which I’m trying to see what’s best at the moment between the 2 of what I have left from years old reserves . Trying to make room for the new stuff , but must used this is what I was told by the boss before I can restock the new stuff are it don’t make no sense . Yeah okay , back to the plants , my first O.G. operation save the last push for the auto Kush is starting to adapt and line herself out on all the nutrients in that mix its in right now , I don’t think I left anything out of that , I mix that frustrated with the last results of the Zweetletooth, I was not so pleased with the weight but the buds and quality , oh my gee I can’t wait to grow it again , now I know how it grows.
This baby has not had the best start for an auto , 8.6 ph 2860 ppm , Bio -Live
5-4-2 & Fox Farm Fertilizer Yellow Bag Happy Frog 5-8-4 , and a 2 tablespoons of fast acting dolomite lime that was top dressed and watered in with Recharge as well , trying to buffer out the soil after not knowing it would be way to hot to mix for starting seeds and autos in , geese I cannot believe my short term memory is fading Like the old folks told me just last year it feels like , lmao
! Man where has time went ?
Poor plant had a great pop up start out in the sun , until some plant eating horn worms looking I found on the Lil seedling Jack Herer I had started with this OG Kush in the Air Injection pop setup, and it’s really starting to get her act together now I’m getting the soil buffered down to a more stable range, but mainly it’s the plant doing most of the work , I only managed a full half gallon through it totally since Friday AYE!
That’s good water retention medium I guess of Promix and Roots Organic mixed together at 2/1 ratio of 5 scoops at a gallon a scoop of dirt . I always do this kind of out of range type experiments , not on purposed but out of pattern , cause I always layer my soils with a light warrior layer or happy Frog on top and the more Organic stuff on bottom and did not realized I was potting to complete soils together until I checked the runoff , but it did not show any stress are leaf burn at all ! I think it’s just been to wet with me trying to flush it mainly but I added more air to the injection chamber to help speed up the medium drying from the bottom of the pot.
Next one I’ll make the injection chamber more ideal with the filters and a bigger air stone , it’s all a new learning but I’m liking it so far so good , it’s been slow a bit , and that could be my doings by over doing .
All in all , 3 new autos should come up in they final pots , it’s my 3 transparent heavy draining pots , with a fully built air chamber in case I want to used the air injection are flood and drain , but I’m hoping 2 out of the new autos, out grow they required profiles, and I’m planning on Scroggins them if I can get each bucket fitted with my new invention with a cheap central air filter system to create a fitting top bucket screen that with slot fit in 4 holes right to the tip of the bucket , are just ziptie 2 together over all 4 pots and let them just grow naturally with no training or topping or trimming and I’m praying the soil can carry them the full trip , if that happens , oh boy I might just give another go at 6 more autos for the Christmas grow !
