Time for a big update
finally back from spring break and got around to taking some pics
Day 48 (og) Day 39 (mazar):


the nugs on the og are causing the limbs to droop


so I fixed that


and finally here is a couple of closeups of the main cola and a side bud of the OG. they are really looking bomb and I cant wait for a smoke report .

I also watered the og with half of this
10 ml tiger bloom
5 ml calmag
10 ml sweetner
6 ml pk 13/14
15 ml budswel
5 ml snowstorm
5 ml hygrozine

hopefully this gets some replies, it feels like I'm talking to myself over here

Yea, get a reflector on that light or drop it vertically between the plants so you are getting more of the light used by plant. I know you are just having fun and all, but you can do much better at getting yield up with right light use.

Nice journal. Good Looking plants. Only 69 watts, priceless!

You can buy reflectors at 1000bulbs.com or make them from aluminum pie pans or cut open aluminum cans etc. they do not have to be pro just good enuf to reflect some of the light being wasted going upwards.
i use store bought clamp reflectors with the lamp socket in them ready to go.

thats exactly what I use but the reflectors are useless for these big lights

day 53(OG) day 44(Mazar):

I gave the OG the other half of the nutrient solution. That should be the last feeding for the OG. 2 flushes and a harvest
I started seeing "rusty" leaves on the OG and made a post about it here in the infirmary.

day 56 (OG) day 47(Mazar):

gave the mazar a gallon of just ph adjusted water. The next watering for the OG will be a flush of final phase and a small bit of bud candy its almost harvest time I cant wait

 

[FoCo(No.Co)]

I love these successful little grows that dont hardly use any energy. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Nice work on the whole, man.

 

[chemman14]

thanks man, yeah just something simple to get my feet wet. I'm sure I will be going all out someday

 

[FoCo(No.Co)]

No doubt you will soon be enjoying the fruits of your labor... if you flush properly

so what should I do for the mazar? It is starting to show some of the same signs as the OG but not as severe.
as an update today I gave the OG a gallon of water with final phase and dumped all of the run off

Just stop adding nutrients to your waterings. Ph balanced tap water is ideal; since cal is getting locked out, it will ad some more calcium to the mix, while diluting the potassium that is causing the problems.

They wont need any more nutrient anyway.

the only problem wit the tap water is it has chloramines in it. I have been using RO water from those water machines

 

[FoCo(No.Co)]

Chloramine causeing problems in soil is a myth! It oxidizes when it comes into contact with organic matter, which means it isn't going to last a split second in your soil.

There is no proof anywhere(that I have found) that chloramine actually causes problems. In fact, the use of RO water might actually have contributed to your issues since there is no calcium in RO water.

but I have been adding cal/mag

 

[FoCo(No.Co)]

Well, tap or RO+cal/mag will work fine, its your decision weather or not you want to pay for RO and cal/mag. Just dont feed anymore nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium.

This plant(27 days flower) has been fed organics for its entire life. I use tap water that contains chloramine.

that girl is looking good.
