BG how do you know you ODed them on P-K? What nutes are you useing and what ratio did you use ? On a side note. I just talked to a very knowledgeable guy at green coast hydro who is a sales rep for UC. Should have my system next week :)

I accidently loaded em up 2 times 1 ml per gallon in 1 week thats a OD with the stuff Im using. The top buds should be alot bigger and after the OD all the hairs on the top dried out as well.
Im using Dutchy gold and pureflowers as a booster.
I have a side project running with only DM Gold and no boosters we shall see it works all alone

I have found that exact same problem. I use phospoload and they recommend 4ml per gal each feeding for two weeks. That just plain stunts the hell out of the PK. I feed 2ml per gallon ONCE and never again.

You may see an eruption of new white hairs after you flush, if so you may want to give them some more time to fatten up and eat all the nutrients out of their leaves.

Thanks guys

HS we shall see how she likes just base nutes with out anything else except a little zone here and there. Im gonna let em go as long as they want. Im going to drain and refill with RO water in a few.

Blunt I picked up the Nikon coolpix p100 its complicating I have to read up and figure out how to use it right. So far it works great. You like colors wait until next week.

Stussy22 Im on 49 days 12/12. I give them way more than 1ml of base nutes the pure flowers is some really strong shit at 1 ml per gallon brings the ppm up 100 but its all p & k so it can easily OD a plant.

Sup BG! Gardens lookin tits man,so thus far you thinking scrog or trees for the best way to grow the lvpk?

As soon as I get back to oregon I'm taking 4 cuts to put in my rdwc and I have one already rooted ready for a 3 or 4 gal smartpot of coco.

Also did I read right about the plants gettin OD and causing the tops to not grow so big?

I think the scrog is where its at. You just have to be real careful with your boosters. Ill be able to compare to a friends grow that Im having him only use base nutes. Ill have it figured out soon.

sweet man I think i'll scrog my 4 pk in the rdwc,so what do you recommend for veg time when scrogging the pk? i have a 4'x4' screen

so light duty on the boosters huh.

I was plannin on runnin sensi grow A+B,big bud and kool bloom,what ya think?

im also gonna try a small side by side grow in smart pots of coco under a 600w hps and test out the bud blaster next to the kool bloom and see what works better,just dont know what strain to run,maybe that lvpk cus it seems easy to grow.

Greenthumb just grow em out to about 18"-20" and then flip em. Make sure you top em at 8"-10" and pinch and bend the shit out of them. Flip them without the screen and drop the screen on em at 5 days 12/12 they will fill it out nicely. Try your mix on em just take it easy the nutes after the stretch.

Thanks DG I think I figured out how to purple em up as well. Its not the temps its the nutes. They were sucking on 500 ppm nutes for 4-5 days and thats when they started purple. I just flushed and refilled with RO I gave em 120 ppm of bud blaster and Im gonna reflush again in 2 days then its 10 ppm RO from there on out.
Look at the crystals there loving the root crown feeding with the bud candy.
More pics soon

Ohh weee can't wait for these pics. For what I have been reading you use a lot less nutes in a UC system correct ? How is the other grow going on just base nutes ? My UC4XL system gets ordered up today ! Should have it mid week. Can't wait.
