New Grower First Grow - MI5 - Blackstar 240w - Coco/perlite buckets.

It seems my days of feeding once or twice a week are done, as I checked them last night and were already feeling light.

Fed with 80% strength today and went for 50% runoff with each. Went in at 5.8 and came out at 6.2 so I was happy with that.

Yes, once the pots get full of roots your rate of feeding will increase. I would expect you'll have to feed them every 3-4 days from here on in.

Quick photo update at day 32. When I started this grow, I was concerned that I would not be able to use all of the blackstars capacity with only four plants. Now you see how opposite the 'problem' is becoming...definitely going to look into a second unit for the next grow, if this one finishes strong.

Every 6 hours it seems I can find 10-15 minutes of fan leaf tucking that needs done!

Nice little forest you have there!

Quick question, I've been running 24hr light now the whole time, should I/is there a time when it may be better to do 20/4 or 18/6? And if no real advantage, in the next couple of weeks there are going to be days when it'll be quite warm so if I can have the light off and save that couple degrees during the afternoon it might be helpful.

go 20/4 without any significant loss of yield.... in fact I think they like it.... you dont like not sleeping ever do you?



hehe... theyll be fine in 20/4 or even as low as 18/6 if you prefer...

About to do a feeding with 90% recommended nutes. I'll try to grab some individual pictures.

Just took a quick look and the sugar leaves on some of the budsites are already starting to crystal up

Did a feeding tonight, and in the process cleaned up a few dead leaves, and decided to take a chance and did a mini-lolipop and removed all small tiny growth within 1-2 inches of the growing medium. Was smelling the bits I cut off and the first two plants had nice pine aromas, but the third plant had a lovely...blueberry smell @_@!
