New Grower Stealth IKEA Grow

[Autogrower]

Some pics of my Stealth grow:

That one is a Blue Dwarf. Pictures taken before i burned it with nutes and defoliated... Week 4.

Now i got some new ones coming up. Bubblelicious * Onyx, Lowryder and Auto Mass.

Planting new seeds sonn as i get a male and chop it. So that i all the time got something going on in there.

The lights are one 145w LED UFO Grow Light, and two vertical 55w CFL PLL 2700k bulbs. Going to add two more of these. Been thinking about changing out my LED for a 250w HPS, but going to see how this round pans out. The buds look really dense and compact.

Feel free to come with some input or ideas for improvement.

Cheers!

My experience is that there is too much product hype. I use whatever soil is available, I check the ph and it's NPK content, mix it with vermiculite, sand and peat. I have seen no difference is plant vigor no matter which I use. I have tried expensive nutes, one's with bloom boosters, with seaweed extract with hormones and enzymes. If they make a difference, I could not see it. I see lots of pictures with nute burn, yet it is easy to see from the dark green of the leaves that they do not need it. Your soil contains a lot of nutrients. Wait for the first signs of light green before adding your nutes. You don't want organic. Bone meal takes forever to break down and will not help if you change the soil each grow. I water using straight forward water. I have tried hydrogen peroxide to add oxygen, it did not seem to do anything much. I have heard that putting your seeds in with a banana peel for a few days will up the ratio of females, never tried it myself.

First of all what is your ph? If thats ok you can start flower nutes and yes I would reccomed organic nutes at a low dose and see if that helps.

Ok, yes i thought of that myself also, that the soil contains alot of nutrients, and maybe enough to bring it into flower... So i am going to try this.

My PH is steady at 6,5. So i should introduce it to some flower nutes? Cant afford getting nwe type of nutes atm, so must go for what i have. And thats CANNA Terra Flores. Maybe i should try a light touch of it next watering?

Throwing in another question!

Some people at a norwegian forum, talked about that you can use your urine to feed the plants. Is this really disqusting or actually good for plants?

Yes, its possible... That said, urine contains WAY too many electrolites (salt) to use as a fertilizer without being diluted or composted into your medium.... Not to mention your plants will smell like piss... Keep with the Canna.. They make a decent product

Your plant looks very good man, I also use CANNA products, but hydro with coco don't have much experience with soil products, but I can say I'm pleased with the results, they are good.

Ok. So i will stick to Canna. Guess it is a learning curve to use it just like anything else. Gonna be a bit more careful next time and start really mild on the nutes.
