Second grow here

[wikimania1975]

We are well underway on my second grow! Babes are looking great! Give me some pointers?! I havent gotten a humidifier or dehumidifier I'm running at about 40% rh inside of a 4×4×6 tent. With a aosbeic at4000. I'm loving this light so far. I was using a mars hydro ts600 last grow. And I will eventually flip two of these four plants to flower and move the other two into another room for a little bit longer of a grow time and put those two under my mars hydro. This is grown in happy frog soil. I'm using general hydroponics trio bottle blend or whatever it's called. I'm giving it a pretty heavy dosing of the floragro(15ml) and floramicro(12ml) and I still think I'm running into a light nitrogen defficiency but I think I'm starting to get a bit of nutrient burn. And I'm barely using if any florabloom until I start getting close to wanting to flower them. Giving 5mil of calmag. Every other watering I am giving them these nutrients. Trying to keep ph anywhere from 6.2-6.7 checking runoff every other week or so and going higher or lower according to that. I've done small amounts of LST on them and I have been topping as it grows. I've got a 440cfm in line fan with carbon filter shown in photo on a dial set on low so I dont build up an immense amount of negative pressure. Three of these seeds were from an alien wedding cake strain that I found in some dispensary bud from vacation. The purple stems I'm assuming are from my colder nights. No big deal to me really. It hasn't dropped below 68 degrees farenheit. With my light on it maintains 75 degrees farenheit. ANY ADVICE WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. PLEASE RESPOND IM STILL A NOOB!!!

I read this three times, did you mention your grow medium? Can't tell if coco or soil, by pics. Sounds kind of heavy on the nutes, to me. Did you look at the leaf/problem identifier on the GWE main site? For humidity try sticking some pots of wet soil in your tent, looks like you have the space. GL!

I'm wondering about the whole setup too. It almost seems like you've combined soil with hydro techniques. Happy Frog is good for starting plants in, then the nutes are exhausted within a month. If you're going to continue feeding them hydro nutes, I'd suggest lowering to the target pH to around 5.8 while they are vegging. Keeping it in the range you've been shooting for is great for organic soil growing but GH Trio isn't made for that. Using GH pH Up and Down in soil will kill off the fungi and microbes that make organic growing work too, so I'd recommend feeding liquid nutes at 5.8 until flower and then feed closer to 6.0-6.2. You could also stand to do a bit of defoliation down low where the leaves are dying off.

So now I'm confused because on the gh trio bottle it says to use in a range of 6.0 to 7.0 for soil. And that gh trio bottle is ideal for hydro or soil. I will definitely give this a shot and see how things turn out.

Many products sold for use with hydro are certainly good for soil as well. I would stay with the PH for soil when in soil.
