Hi all. in the spirit of community here is my latest plant, my 5th grow at week 6 of flowering. I have since harvested it and got 1.3oz dried and cured. The details: It is CBD Critical Mass grown in Fox Farms Happy Frog soil with no nutes except at the very end when I gave it some bloom nutes (Dyna Gro Bloom) which had no effect whatsoever. I used R/O water because the water here in Saskatchewan is super hard and I think has caused problems in previous attempts. I grow only with CFL's because they were cheap and easy to get. For this plant I used about 250w from several bulbs. Might change soon to some other type of light depending on price.
I am happy with this level of growing because I do not need much weed. Even with this I give a lot away. I pruned a lot of the fan leaves, maybe too many. I am thinking that with a no added nutrients grow, cutting lots of fan leaves is a questionable idea. Near the end there were few leaves left for the plant to draw Nitrogen from and the yellowing started in the buds which I didn't want. I guess the soil was depleted by that point. There were other issues like low humidity which is a huge problem here especially in the winter. Even with a humidifier right under the plant RH was variable 16 to 45% . Thanks to everyone who posts their expertise and knowledge and Thanks to GWE and Sirius and Nebula who have created a great resource. Merry Christmas
