I am recovering from a Calcium Def in 3 of them so they are back on track!

Giving them a little unsulphured molasses with each feed will help avoid that

I got some CalMag but that sounds really good. BTW I am doing DWC Hydro so do you mean each rez change?
Thanks!

Lookin' like some healthy greens!! Sorry for the late response, Sabre. Haven't read up on hydro in a while, but yes, I believe you'd ad it every res change. Since you got some CalMag, molasses won't be necessary for the ca issue anymore, but it helps with trichome production, too, so... Not sure how to apply it with hydro, so you might wanna ask in the 'dro section

My guy at my hydro shop told me what to do.

Thanks so much for your input. The more I know the better the grow!!!

I'm with Pop, man you are doing amazing! Your girls are happy, healthy and HUGE. You are going to have a monster yeild no doubt about it.

The most common reason your two plants of the same strain(same bag of seeds and heck could even be from the same seed set) is the same reason I am tall and thin and my brother is short and fat. I got my dads genes and he got my moms. While our facial features are very very similar I am 4 inches taller and he weighs 30 more pounds than I do.

Different phenotypes can create what seems to be to completely different strains, but when the bud comes out they will probably taste and smell very similar if not the exact same. Again Great looking grow and I cant wait to see the harvest of these beautes

Save your HPS bulb for a spare and finish this grow with the MH. The change to HPS isn't going to gain you a lot, and these seems to be some anecdotal evidience that you get better trich production under MH. I grew 2 White Widow in an 18 gallon DWC. One plant gave me about an ounce, the other gave me 6 oz dry!! I ran the MH all the waY and was quite happy with the results.

Funny Pop I've read this two. I'm going to do some experimentations with HPS and MH bulbs grows and see what the difference is.
