Indoor Mainemedical's 13 Strain Summer Sampler

[The Medicine Man]

How close are those to the 600w? Only reason I ask is because they look, to me, like they could be fed a little more. I've been experimenting with autos and feed levels and higher intensity light. I've been able to feed 3 week old autos a full on 2.2 EC (1100ppm at .5) and they love it. They needed it. I was feeding half that as my normal feed but they were so pale. Once I upped that feed it was night & day difference. In the pictures your plants look like they might be a little pale. No where near what mine were, but just something to think about. I see no evidence of burn or anything on your plants, so they could be pushed a little more if you wanted to see a bigger yield. Just be careful and add a little more at a time. Like move to 3/4 strength, see if they like it, and if no burn move to full strength. A lot of autos under higher intensity lights can handle full strength nutrients.

oh, and in case you didn't know... I'm a Mainer too.

Awesome to see other mariners on here
:smokebuds:
My 600 is about 6 inches from the top of my tallest plant. I wasn't sure how much they were able to handle of the ph perfect and I didn't wanna burn them. And they do have a little bit of burning on the lower feeder leaves that's tough to see in the pictures.

 

[The Medicine Man]

nice. Yea, you'll start to see nutrient burn usually on the newest leaves first. What I see on the bottom leaves is not a nutrient burn, but looks more like lack of certain nutrients to me.

 

[Mainemedical]

It would be nice if I could spell I meant mainer not mariner haha

 

[Mainemedical]

Huh I assumed that it was nute burn but I'll definitely keep that in mind from now on. I'm feeding at every watering though so would you recommend alternating with lighter feeds?

 

[The Medicine Man]

I do, too. I feed at 2.2EC every other day with my 1000w lamp being 26-28 inches above the tops of the plants.

 

[Mainemedical]

Alright thanks medicine man :thumbs:
I'll try upping the feedings a little bit next time and see if that helps

 

[Mainemedical]

I see you have your 1000 watt at a little over 2 feet away. I have been running mine at about 10-12 inches. Is that too close for them?
