New Grower anonamoose's first grow, northern lights auto

[anonamoose]

new growth seems fine. and thanks i was wondering if the leaves would recover, ive been checking them and they dont seem to have changed much, got a little worse actually, but now it seems to have stopped. i was running 20/4 for the first 20 or so days, but then i got a ruck fan and rhino filter and the temps just dropped far too much for my liking, down to about 62 during lights off so now im just running 24/0 and the temps are staying between 73 - 81. although this yellowing didnt start untill about day 30ish so im pretty sure it wasnt the temps that caused it

edit: ph is in check

day 38 today and the nutes arrived. i got plant magic oldtimers organic grow, bloom and bio silicon. can i switch to bloom nutes and the 2700k light? plant is gettin far too big, but vertical height has deffinately slowed, but not stopped. i can only raise the lights about another 6 or so inches lol. i know it will affect yield if start bloom nutes too early. but its more or less the right time anyway i think.

i also have the bio silicon, is it too late to start using this? i remember reading somewhere that a couple weeks into flower, if you use the silicon it will make the buds taste weird... thanks, and ill post pics within the next few hours. the bitch is startin to smell really nice lol

can i combine the grow, bloom and silicon in one watering? i was going to give it half dose of grow, half dose of bloom and a full dose of silicon, should need watering tomorrow or the day after. also going to swap lights to the 2700k under the reflector and 6500k for side lighting. this a good idea? thanks

The bloom nutes should be just fine moose with the silicon , add silicon mix then add your bloom job done mate stop useing the silicon at the end of wk 2 in bloom but this is my opinion some carry on with it for a few wks more

is 0.5ml of silicon too much in 1 litre? tips are showin little bit of burn, so qtr dose of bloom? dont want to burn it more but also want to give it bloom so it stops getting taller lol. got some pics of budsites n pubes n shit n the damaged leaves. i still suck ass with the camera though lol.

thanks

Well go bye the PM grow shedule then as this is normally lower than you need but i would use 3ml bloom and 0.5ml silicon buddie , your normaly going to get a tiny bit of burn on your tips this is quite normal mate

 

[anonamoose]

gave it 3ml of bloom and 0.5ml of silicon, and swapped the lights over so 2700k is in reflector and 6500k is for side lighting. how long you reckon till buds start forming? and what counts as flowerin? its preflowering now but i want to stop the silicon 2 weeks into flower, but when do i count day 1 of flowering? when i first see buds?

ps - silicon fuckin stinks lol

thanks

Nice looking christmas tree! :five:

got some more random pics, mainly of the preflowers. how long you reckon till buds start forming? day 39 from sprout today. also i think my ph is off. the yellowing of the leaves looks like its still very slowly spreading up, as 1 leaf above the last infected leaf i think is going yellow from the back, not the tip. i fed 3ml of plant magic organic bloom and 0.5ml of silicon about 6 hours ago. the ph going in was 6.6 and the runoff was 6.2. i think that makes my soil ph 5.8? next time it needs watering, shall i run about 3000 ml of 6.8 ph water through? ive been feeding with 1200ml which gives me about 10% runoff. thanks.

edit: 3rd pic isnt cola, its a pic taken sideways of a branch but i rotated the image before uploading lol. 5th pic is the soon to be cola.

Hi moose , thats you in bloom as of the day you started the bloom nutes so 2wks from now mate id stop the silicon mate , just went and had a smell its not that bad imo , and your buds will come thru soon mate

With the plantmagic you feed every time you water them mate but yes you could up the pH a little to compensate buddie

 

[anonamoose]

ahh smells like mouldy dog shit to me lol. should i use the silicon every time i feed nutes? ive been giving just plain water every other feed to try n flush out the salt build up.
