hey bro, nice plants you have there!

mine are on day 50 and the size of the flowers are approximately the same. your additional 500 watts give them alot of power, flower power.

do you feed full strength?

They gigantic how tall are they? Looks like you got it going on bro. Nice

Hey Eflow, thanks! They are at 30" exactly from the soil right now. Now I am hoping they will begin to fill in the spaces. I have been tucking those fan leaves in, hoping to get more light into the lower parts of the plant. I am thinking about investing in some T5 fixtures to hang vertically, the overhead fixture is nice but it really misses the lower sections of the plant.

do you feed full strength?

Thanks SG, I did two full strength feedings over the past two weeks with absolutely no signs of nute burn. The only problem I ran into was, I was measuring PH before adding nutes @ 6.0. I didn't realize my nutes were lowering my ph to about 5.7. Major fuck up. So, I had to flush them last week and get the ph up to about 6.3. Today, I fed at half strength one more time with ph adjusted after adding nutes to 6.3. I will see how it goes this feeding and may up the strength to close to full strength again. I have read a ton about autos not being able to take the full strength but these DP Polarlights seems to love it. Granted, it could have something to do with the lighting as well. Maybe with the higher wattage light they are able to make use of them more than with a lower powered setup. I have the ballast on the "Super Lumen" setting for the past 2 weeks which Lumatek claim boosts the output by about 10%, or in my case to about 660 Watts.

Just been a few days but the buds are started to come in strong. I thought I would put up a few pics for your consideration.

:thumbs: nice girls, a420er! are they stinking on you just as mine do?

a good month left there...

by the way: my 90w led makes me 9000 lumen; that should equal a 300w hid light (i don't really believe that, but the producer says so). how many lumens you got?

 

[A4]

I am using a Hortilux 600W, they say 88,000 lumens.

So, I am at day 49. Still fighting a serious iron deficiency but I have been afraid to make too many drastic changes so I have just been supplementing with 10ml/gallon of chelated iron. We will see what happens. It doesn't look like it affecting the bud development so I am going to let it keep going. I have read that too many new farmers make the mistake of over compensating for deficiencies so we will see what happens. Pictures are below. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, criticisms, what have you. I am still learning and happy to hear anyone's thoughts.

wow man, there's some serious budding going on. :clap:

i think you're gonna outclass me, yield-wise.

by the way, molasses has some good portion of iron...

Back for another week. I am at day 56 here. Still struggling as you can tell by some of the leaves but they are still packing on weight and I am keeping my fingers crossed for the next two weeks. On to the bud porn......
