Yeah those $30 ones won't work the heater is a good idea.

 

[Deadhead91]

Damn I was really hoping those cheap ones work too

 

[Chefbjy]

Well since you're not really in an enclosed environment you'd probably have to get a big one to dry out a home lol. Otherwise there were some i seen for around $80-90 that would work for a small area. I used a combination of heat and fans to keep mine below50% in flower in 8x8 room.

[Deadhead91]

Should I have cut more off or is that pretty good?

 

[Campesino]

Looks good! That will help with humidity far more than a $30 dehumidifier!

 

[Chefbjy]

Looks good. You have done an amazing job from the beginning.

 

[Deadhead91]

thanks for the help and walk through I have the knowledge I just need to apply it and the reassurance helps me to stop second guessing everything

Mr.furley Hey I was wondering if you could help me with a feeding chart, I’ve been following the fox farm feed chart and the advanced nutrient chart.
I’m currently on week 2 of advanced chart with bud candy, overdrive and flawless I’ve only used the bud candy so far of those. I’m also using sensi cal mag xtra but I’ve been using 3ml every other feeds.

For the fox farm I’m using the trio, bushdoctor microbe brew and sledgehammer. And currently on week 6 feed.


Should I just follow everything to a T or should I try to make custom feed?

 

[Deadhead91]

Also was wondering how to incorporate the molasses also

 

[Mr.furley]

Beyond the fox farm I wouldn't be able to help, so my advice would be do they look healthy, happy, and growing well? If yes then "keep on Trucking" to me it seems you've got a good grasp on your mix and it sound logical. The way I use Molasses is one dose somewere in week 7-8 when my buds are fatting up, producing trichomes, but not so later that they are ripe. I dissolve a teaspoon or two per gallon of plain ph water and let it sit overnight to dissolve fully then feed that water on my water only day. I know some peeps use it a lot more and opinions will vary, that's just the way I use it. Looking good Deadhead.

When do I start to cut the nitrogen and how much do I cut it and what truly confuses me is how come the chart tells me to do it till flush pretty much and why so much of the grow big if I supposed to be cutting the nitrogen on the chart? The supplements I’m not so worried about the feedcharts it’s the fox farm cause everyone says to cut nitrogen but the chart contradicts that entirely

 

[Mr.furley]

The cut nitrogen suggestion comes from proven Growers that know when enough is enough, feeding charts come from fertilizer company that want you to use it up and are a Universal guideline. The best practices for adding or removing nutes is practice and patience through multiple grows knowing what your plant needs and when it needs it or doesn't.
the idea behind cutting the nitrogen come about the same time as the add of Molasses, you are shifting the plants nutrition needs just like the switch at the flip from vegg to flower, At a point at the end of your flower cycle six bottles with nitrogen can be a over kill, the last couple of weeks before the flush I drop the GROW BIG down from 15ml to 10ml to 5 ml to flush. Letting to plant use up all the nutes in the Coco and itself at the flush so I'm left with clean, sweet tasting buds. I'm a little out of posting practice so I hope this makes sense.

 

[Deadhead91]

That makes perfect sense, and what’s cool is the bud candy and flawless finish have no npk rating and the overdrive is 1-5-4. And I’ve already decided to cut out the cal mag now unless it shows some sign of needing it. So since the bud candy doesn’t have a npk is it ok to add to the flush water?

 

[Deadhead91]

[No message]

 

[oldjarhead100]

Deadhead when you use Molasses it is going to drop you ph drastically my goes from 6.4 to 4.6 when I add it and I use molasses though the whole grow once a month

 

[Deadhead91]

That helps a lot oldjarhead cause that explains the huge ph dip when I used it last grow

 

[oldjarhead100]

yup its caused me to lock out nutes from the girls a couple of times before I figured it out also I have to count to ten 1000 to give meter enough time to change

 

[Deadhead91]

I think I may need a little help with this one what should I cut off and what should I leave? This thing just took off on me and I haven’t been able to control it all. Monster plant it’s about 4 foot tall now and that’s with all the tie downs and stuff, it did get a lil heat stress from the heatwave and I just flushed it last night and week 3 of flowering

 

[Chefbjy]

You've got alot going on there. I would just read up on some of the defol tutorials. How far along are you? I favor removing lower growth to promote upper growth. Sometimes sacrificing possible bud sites that won't get enough light or reach the canopy. But then again you could just do some light pruning and make sure it just has good airflow if you are happy with that. Ultimately it's up to you to decide what to take off just remember you can't put them back on. You will need enough leaves to last untill harvest.
