Time to show your grow.

Welcome, looking good

That first picture is a composite of 34 individual pictures taken at 1mm increments. I never knew that focus stacking and macrophotography was so painstakingly tedious. I thought they just had a good camera and a good lens snap the picture or two threw it into an editing program and that was it. Instead it takes up to 100 photos for a good stack and even more for a pristine stack. It's hard work but it's so rewarding when you get that shot.

Ah. Welcome to the frosty club. Nice!

[HobbitGDF]

Such good pics. Plants Looks amazing. Pictures came out amazing.

New member old grower. Current grows.

Left Plant AK-47 it's been 18 days since flip. Right Plant Northern Lights not sure on age someone let me have it when it was a older seedling so I'm guessing it's somewhere around 5 weeks old. I'm trying some new training techniques with the Northern Light using clips and wire ties.

[damanc]

Nice I'm also growing Northern Lights but I'm trying some new training techniques that I've never done before. About to post it in a few minutes.

Some sticky looking buds

More macro photos. Been practicing. Some of the images are 30 pics stacked to try and get the clarity I want. Love the program Helicon Focus. I can take 40 focus bracketed pictures toss them inside a program and it'll stack them properly on top of each other and give me a nice detailed image instead of me doing it picture by picture.
This is the Grape Caper before the the cure. I still have four more plants that have to get chopped and processed but for now, only the one was ready

Week 5 of flower. 5 Afghan Kush on my “Merry go round” system I come up with. I made a giant lazy Susan, and each plant is on its own lazy Susan. Sure makes working on plants easier.

81 days today. Black and Blue, and Razzpergers from Going2fast. I did something to stunt both of these early. Almost pulled the plug at 4-5 weeks. Kinda glad I didn't. Think I gave them too much light too early. I had pistils at 18 days and they were in pre-flower at 23. Still learning this new SF light. Runs pretty hot. B&B went purple for me. Smells like a bowl of fruitloops. Razz smells more like a Creamsicle. Both are unbelievably dank. Both started throwing out pistils at the end. Maybe 5 oz total. Wanna try both of these again this fall after the summer grow.

I hadn't used gypsum before in my soil mixes so read up on it a bit recently.

It's recommended only for top dressing and gently watered in...pre-mixing appears to be a no no in many cases as it stuffs the soils ability to drain...not an issue when adding later..takes a while to take effect as the cal needs to unbind, not immediately available I read....

[Smallgrow]

For sure , that’s the plan and I have tried dolomite. I’ve moved away from it and have been testing crab meal with a thought to try gypsum, as my symptoms may show cal deficiency as one problem( and Cal is immobile ). My soils PH is generally right on 6.6-6.8.
As you’ve said in the past it’s also a balance of everything, with light intensity especially with powerful LEDs, which I have. You got the nutes bang on and add more light, bam! You got a deficiency.
So I continue to focus mostly on the basics water, light intensity, and environment. Only tinkering lightly with amendments beyond my pre-made amendment pack between runs. IMO most folks get too complicated and make it worse.
Generally only EWC, crab meal for Cal, insect frazz (also on hold for now as it’s in my amendment pack already and I’m not sure more N is helping)

[Bluey]

LEDs with coco can bring out weird nute issues with leaves, I'd imagine soil to be worse. Haven't used soil under lights yet but maybe there's an aendet you could add like wor casting or a bit of dolomite lime that might help a bit.

Thx Bluey, Im always interested to hear other growers thoughts. I’m really not sure at this point.
I seem to have this problem regularly in my grows. There is lots of green down below and all the symptoms seem to be light stress but treating for light stress never seems to fix it. I do constantly grow different strains and go between autos and photos so that does complicate the issues. Last grow I had that Acapulco Gold 8” from the light and it loved it, but usually at 16” I show signs of light stress. I do check both PPFD and DLI is in range and even low in an effort to fix it. It’s tricky in living soil as you don’t have as much control. Luckily the buds keep coming out nice and my jars are always full, so I’ll just keep working at it till I get it
