Thanks Boomer. Ha. Or just change it to micro.mega LOL. I personally still feel slightly micro, but maxxing out a micro environment makes everything looks bigger. U remember how my cases used to look??? LOL.

Next comment, I don't think it is the lights causing the Cal/mag defecianties. I mixed some pre-ammended soil about a week before planting my clones. I have given my clones "strictly" tap water (UN.ph'd) . I give them each one gallon of that a week, and then the following week, I simply give each plant its own 2 liter of sparkling water. I don't really follow any "rules" when it comes to nutes. I simply read my plants and go from there. I personally feel that you are having problems from mixxing together different distributors products, being a noob. Companies make certain additives to make up for what their other products lack. I.m not saying u can't use two different products together, but expect to pretty much have to eye out ur nutes compared to measuring them. U will have to figure out mentally what your plants needs and not what the bottle suggest. My suggestion, if u are gonna buy nutes is this... get the mother earth super tea series by advanced nutrients. I simply splash about a caps worth or so in a gallon container and fill with water.adjust your increments by the amount of burn (if any), or by the deffencies still showing. I have not used these nutes on this grow yet, and honestly don't plan on using them, but if I have to, its good to know I have em available. Hope this answer helps. If u feel u are having Cal mag issues, pour a medicine cup worth of Epsom salt into ur watering container. Stir real good, and add light amount of normal nutes. Hope this helps friend.

No big pik update this week. I may snap a couple with my phone this evening. To be honest, there hasn't been a whole lot of change with em. I guess some pistils have turned a tinge of orange, but significantly still white pistils. Its still slowly defoliating lower growth. The growth has completely stopped. Simply starting to fill in and thicken up. I ended up with about 3.5" between canopy and led. I guess u could say I was dead on at predicting the stretch. Hands down, this grow will Def prove how much a maxxed out sea of green grow in my setup will be. IMO. Did not expect to Max out my setup first round using it. Oh well. Luck of all the good kharma I guess. At least I will know what is acheivable in a 20"x24"x36" area with a blackstar 240.

On a latter note, I stayed up reading ishitmag last night. Occasionally in a pile of coal, u.ll find a diamond of a thread. This thread was from 09. It was this Guy flowering out 9 querkle clones under a 600w hps. All clones were in two gallon containers. He even had the same "z pheno" as I do. I learned a lot reading through it. Its hard for me to find a thread in relationship to learning from and using it on current projects. Basically, everything I could have possibly read up on, has been read up on, so I was surprised I found a "new" thread. This dude ended up pulling 13 ounces from it. I wasn't exactly sure when to harvest, due to last time I waited on seed maturity and not bud maturity. He harvested at exactly 9 weeks from the time he switched to 12/12. So, essentially, this may give me a heads up on when to harvest. I was thinking, based on last grow, I would be harvesting the 5th of June, but if this Guy is right (based on his closeups, I.m thinking yeah he might be), my harvest will be on the 22nd of may... this puts a big smile on may face. Me getting my meds a few weeks early would be phenomenal. I wish I would've saved the link to this thread, but I didn't. as mentioned, I thought it was a good read that lacked all the childish bickering that haunts some forums.

U guys have a good day. I.ll be back around later...

Nice man glad you found some good info for your strain. Your almost there man, time is flying by so fast. Any signs of purplin up?

 

[micro.grower]

Not yet. Last time color didn't show up till the final couple of weeks. My soil and nutrients were also different. Its also real hard to see color under the led, however, I am starting to notice a nice fade, which IMO, is when the colors start changing. I also noticed the calyxes tipped with a purple tinge last time. So, tbh, I have a good feeling that color is coming. . That drying rack fits perfect in my box. I have room to fit four racks tall. so my drying issues are solved. I.ll prolly hang em for three-five days, trim em up real pretty, then let em finish drying on the racks, then off to the cure.

 

[Truu]

Nice. I shoulda bought some too. I didn't even See them. I also forgot to buy some black buckets! Now I'm using grey lowes buckets that I'm gonna duct tape over. My blue mistics sprout is ready to be put into the rockwool. I'll prob be sending some pics your way by the weeks end.

 

[micro.grower]

Yeah. The drying racks were pricey I paid $70 for the two footer. I.m thinking it.ll be worth it. I.ve been wanting one for awhile now. The Lowes buckets should work. I.d flip em over and spray a couple coats of flat black on em before taping them. I have found that some duct tapes still allow partial light through. I may be wrong and it could've just been the chrome duct tape. Good luck bro.

 

[crazytrain14]

good lord dude i didnt know you paid 70 bucks for that rack this weekend lol glad we all got ti chill together finally. im looking forward to your next update micro.

 

[micro.grower]

Yeah... its a lil pricey, but I can't help to splurge occasionally. I.ll get some new pics up tonight. Bro. Had a blast this weekend. We.ll do it again soon. Good bud always makes for a good time. We didn't even get to the hash. LOL. I.ll save it for next time.... maybe. LOL. Peace bro.

 

[micro.grower]

Hey homies. I've been a lil slow around the forums lately, so I felt obliged to share some recent piks with everyone. A canopy shot and a random close up.
Thanks for the tip on that app captn. U can clearly see the difference between the two photos posted. The close up is with the app... thanks again. Enjoy the piks guys.

No problems bro. Yea once you play with it for awhile you'll find the right enhancements and other things to really make them pop. That's the querkle right? Something about them leaves scream Purple Urkle. Everytime I grow Urkle or a strain with Urkle in it atleast 1 plant gets them thin droopy leaves at the top. There looking great tho bro and the pic really makes the Trichomes pop. I only jumped in to the last page after the Pm you sent me so how long have you been on 12-12? They look like they still got a lot of time left and to fatten up. I guessed 7-1/2 ounces so beat that up. It was between 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 for me.
