Indoor Day 43 on 1st auto grow attempt

[blue]

Hi Nvus

I let my water sit for at least 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate. I add my feed first and PH last.

PH will pretty much make or break a grow so it's a really good idea to get that part of it under control.

It's soil PH that you want to worry about - obviously water in has an impact on this, but it's the relationship between the water IN PH and the water OUT PH that should be guiding you to your soil PH.

So - if you water in at 6.5 and it comes out at 6.5, you're golden! ^_^

here's a post from GoAuto that i love to re-post

Rough Calculation Guide (by GoAuto):

Here's some good info on ph.....
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:*
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference

If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.

For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5*
Soil pH = 7.5

If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

Thanks Blue! That was exactly what I was looking for!

So if my soil pH meter says 6.5 then I more than likely over fed and had nute burn.....not LOCK-OUT???

I can really see the pistils turning now. More and More each day....1 of the 60 day wonder still has ALL white & erect pistils.....

Im getting anxious now haha these buds look so dense and I have 2 that are about the size of a soda can!!!

Day 58

<--60 Day Wonder / Blue Mystic Outdoor-->
My 1st 4 autos ran!!!

Countdown Begins......

QUESTION ----- Can anyone give me some good links on harvesting/curing?

My buds seems to be crisp when I have cured in the past. I want to know how the street buds get so dense and not super dry!! I only leave the buds hanging on branches until the stem snaps then into mason gars!!

Day 63

Can't wait to harvest.....I say in the next week for sure!

QUESTION: My grow room, where I will be drying has a humidity range from 60-75! I have read to dry for 1 day per 10% room humidity and add 1 extra day! Should I dry for 7 then cut buddage and jar up! I am going to but a Caliber III hydrometer for my jars unless anyone can guide me to a cheaper hydrometer that will fit in my jars, Widemouth 2 quart mason jars.

2 of my 3 60 Day Wonder and my Critical Jack look as if they are closing in on their harvest date.

:no: 1 60 Day Wonder still has white pisitils and I was noticing this am that the bud formation is different which would lead me to think this is a pheno or a different strain than 60 Day Wonder! She probably has 2 weeks left!

I will post pics my damn camera isnt acting right.

Trichromes are starting to cloud up and most of all the white pistils on my plants are turning red except for the 1 pheno! and my soil pH is testing out at 6.8 with my meter!!

Some of these buds are huge!!

What is the best insect replellant for my outdoor plants.....I have some small fuzzy white insects trying to invade...only a few but I brushed them off....Im sure they will come back

Thanks

Day 64



Almost all pistils are red and trichomes are starting to turn from clear to milky! No amber tris yet!

420 what country are you in mate ??............could be thrips or white fly,..................neem oil is a good lasting outdoor one......................make sure the critters dont make thier way back to the indoor bud-room, aboard you !!........looking a nice little grow mate.............

Im in the states mate

I think it is some sort of mealy bug or something......Looks like white fuzzy mold but there is an insect in the middle of it that is white and fuzzy!!

NEEM OIL----Where can I find this? Put directly on the MJ plants?

I just ordered 10 Dinafem Blue Cheese ( A cross of Cheese and Blueberry ), 1 Dutch Passion Think Different, and 1 Kannabia Seeds Automatica Kannabia Special!

I will only be growing 5 plants next round......3 Blue Cheese and the other 2 seeds I bought!

Anyone have experience with the Blue cheese?
