Thanks bro she seems to like me recently. the last time I did a res change was 6/10/2013 so less than a week ago and in went:
15ml CalMag (to try and get ahead of the deficiency)
5ml Liquid Silicon
15ml Rhizotonic
20ml Cannazym
28ml Aqua Vega A+B

Yesterday I topped up the res with 3L of water and 6ml A+B to take the ec back up to 1.8, seems happy there but will do a fresh res change once it's been in there for a whole week, unless you advise otherwise of course :

Edit: Yeah she showed sex a few days ago now, not sure which exactly but I made a note on an earlier page

Looks like you almost got it dialed in :High 5:
oh im using the canna aqua flores in my hydro setup. and im happy with that product :
my cal mag to flores ratio is 1 part cal mag to 8 part flores during the flower cycle. Don't know if it will help but just a pointer
Keep it up. i can see that it's going in the right direction :gthumb:
Peace

thats excellent mate.You want to start thinking about switch to bloom ... choice is yours to veg longer or change sooner ?. If your due for the weeks res change in a few days you could do it then or go longer with vegga nutes ?...let me know & i'll give you an idea of the next res if you like ?. or feel free to take the wheel & make the next one yourself ::Cushty:

I'm gonna wait a while longer before switching to flowering nutes I think, I did the same with my soil plants first time around based on this little paragraph that Muddy wrote up in "The life cycle of autoflowering cannabis":

Weeks 4 - 6. The plants are now entering a pre flowering stage. During this time the plants should exhibit explosive growth, often as much as a new set of nodes and 1" vertical growth a day. This is the time when they will gain most of their vertical height. Many people make the mistake of switching from vegetative to flowering nutrients at this point, assuming that since they see flowers it must be the proper time. This is incorrect. If the switch to flowering nutes is made at this time the vertical growth will stop and the plant will put it's energy into producing buds. If you need to keep your plants small, or want them to finish earlier, they by all means switch nutes at this point. But if you want to get the most out of your plants continue feeding vegetative nutes until you see the vertical growth slow and stop. Depending on the strain that will usually be sometime during week 5 or 6.

The fact that this girl hasn't had a great start in life leads me to believe I should try and keep her vegging as long as possible to try and squeeze out all of her potential for this grow, she's just started stretching now, each morning I check on her and she's grown so things are starting to speed up. If you have any suggestions for the next res I'm all ears, will change it tomorrow. I was just gonna build upon the last weeks res as reference let me know what you think. :smokebuds:

:High 5: cool.Thats the idea mate .Check back what she had the week before & go from there.

If your running another week of veg ,just up the silicon a tiny bit (1-2ml) & up the cal/mg a tint bit (1-2ml) ...you could maybe start the carboload ?... start @ 5ml & go up 5ml every week until max at around PK week .Other than that it would be a bit extra aqua vegga to up the EC ....but I think your alreadt pushing her quite hard with the EC & recommend keeping it where it is if you think you have the sweet spot ?.

off the top of my head id guess your res like ...

cal/mg - 16ml
silicon - 7ml
rhizo - 15ml
zym - ? much as you like
carboload - 5ml
aqua vegga - upto EC :smokebuds:

Thanks for the info mate, I don't have Carboload but I'm guessing CannaBoost does the same job? I was going to add this to the next res already by following the canna feed chart, its recommending 30ml-60ml, should I start at 1/4 strength at 15ml? It's the first time I've used any boosters : other than that everything you listed for that res will go in, and I will keep the EC where it is for now, her colour is much more vibrant at a high 1.8..greedy gal :thumbs: I'll get the pictures up for the daily update in a few mins, stay tuned :group:

Day 32

Ola amigos, fresh res change will be tomorrow but right now she's looking good. Leaf tucking has become a daily occurrence and she's starting to drink finally. One small thing - the EC rises gradually as she drinks, does that mean the feed is too strong? It doesn't shoot up just .1 or .2 for every 2-3L of water being drank. She's sitting at 1.9 EC this morning so that's just .1 EC rise in 6 days. Probably just over thinking - she looks happy I should be happy I thought I'd upload some big pictures since I haven't done that in a while now, enjoy

Thanks man, I've noticed you following along liking all the posts, really appreciate that bro :smokebuds:

Just taking a back seat as I don't have much of anything to add sadly to DWC playas but enjoy them and learn here and there as I am hydro coco drain to waste.

Agree with Vira on carbos:High 5: good stuff. Also on the fact that it is very fine for 30 days:karma Cloud:

I'll be watching!:smokebuds:

 

[DWCocha]

yea sorry ,forgot you had the boost... if you run another veg week you wont need it yet mate ...start @15ml when you switch to flores & work it up 15ml per week or something ?. they say run it full all the way but id get to there around PK week Pal ?.:smokebuds:I'll be using it for the 1st time soon so keep notes of how much you use bud :Cushty::dance2:if the EC is going up slowly its a sign its too high ,back off .1-.2 with water & check :stylez rasta smoke:
