Lighting My first-ever Autocob grow! (HSO Blue Dream x2)

[PapaEmeritus]

I was a bit depressed as I read it was ph buffered but noticed it drop my ph 2 full digits. It does stay fairly stable though. I fill 3-4 mason jars with water and dump each of my nutes into one. Calmag, maxi, 0-10-10 kool bloom, and some microbe. Shake and pour. If I went into the res straight I think I'd try a paint mixer on a drill lol.

Interesting method. I haven't noticed any PH fluctuation, but then again I don't check my PH after setting it initially. I don't really have much of a res to fill with the Hempy style. I mean it's got one, but the daily hand-watering fills it every time. How long have you used this nute schedule? I see you use KoolBloom, how do you like it? I'm curious to hear what kind of yield people are getting with and without it.

I just started this maxi line. I have had great success with the flora duo up until the past few months. I can't seem to kick it so I decided to switch pretty much everything. I do believe the maxi will work well once things are dialed in.

That sucks. What started happening with the Flora series for you?

Guh, damnit. Just noticed some spotting on a few leaves. Looks like I might have had another PH hiccup.

She is starting to fatten up though! Will update with pics later tonight.

Not sure but it wasn't good m. I was getting burnt up leaves but also getting deficiencies. Even the new crop with maxi is showing PK deficiencies all over again. Time to back way off on the ca an increase mag and pk.
Do you have any close ups of your leaves?

Hey folks. Sorry for the radio silence, it's been a little bit on the batshit-crazy side of things here for the past couple days. I've had some serious chronic pain issues popping back up so most of my time has been spent well-medicated and immobile, lol. Haven't had much chance to get pics and post updates but I'm hoping to get back to it asap. Things with the light cycle got a little weird - I've been running w/out a timer, since I'm always home and therefore can switch the lights off and on manually, but I've had to rely on a helper the past few days so due to scheduling issues w/said helper, Righty's been moved to more or less a 12/12 schedule. I'm choosing to look at it as less of a botch and more of an..."experiment".

Pics coming soon, I promise!

@BigSm0 - No closeups at the moment, but I will get them as soon as I can. As you may have read above, things got a little out of wack here at Casa de ANTiFA lately.

Hey man take care of yourself first. Hopefully things settle a bit for you and when they do the crowd will be ready. Thank you for the update!
