Agreed, thanks @Heathenraider.
Sunset Wedding. The two in the back that are stretching hard. I think SW #3 is stealing all their cal mag and going🖕 to her sisters lol.
@Capt C, have you found a lockout dose on Cal Mag? Knowing that it would translate to my systems differently. I'm thinking I can push 8 ml/gal and still be a bit short but overdoing in my systems causes lockout real quick.
Going to fill er up now for Week 5. Cutting back the MC a bit (I believe it's a 1:1 ratio, so if I back off 1g MC, then bring up BE by 1g?)

Wow i don't know. I have never exceeded 5ml per gal. Maybe ask @HydroRed i think he said he has never added to much of the cal-mag. 8 ml of cal-mag has to be quite a few ppm's though. Also watch that BE it is strong stuff.

Yea I'm still apprehensive with BE 0-19-39. Maybe I should just ease in with GH Koolbloom 0-10-10. Or not be chicken shit about it lol. I thought I remember him mentioning it to help with fade. I'll look thanks Capt.

Just keep upping it till you see a little tip burn. I am entering week 4 and i am only 0.5 grams a gallon and that is because of the addition of the Seabird guano.

I will start light. I hate having to dilute things if I go over cuz I never know that although in theory it should thin everything out "evenly" I have a feeling that some things are more thinned out than others if you know what I mean. Especially since I'm running an Epi and steer with a res (near realtime effects, once it all circulates within several minutes).

That much Ca/Mg per gallon does seem like a bit much. Ca/Mg adds on the Nitrogen side of feed. The MC runs a bit hot in the N side already without the Ca/Mg addition. I dont think I've went past 2ml per gal even under LED.

Thanks for the insight Red. I've been using 1 tsp(5 ml)/gal 😬 GH3 habits...seems to have been doing ok, but i will reduce it and see what happens.

A summary of this past week's events (particular details in everyone's respective threads)

- Went on a trip back east and visited with @Capt C. We had lunch and he generously gifted 4 SUPER FIRE strains from his personal headstash. Capt is a kind hearted, wise soul with a heart of GOLD.
- On the way back, stopped to stay over at @Jesselikes2Grow's house. Finally got to try the famous Jenny. It was awesome seeing her and Evelynne in real life. Jesse is truly talented and a super great guy to boot.
- Came back to tend on the garden. My GF totally handled shit, even with a breaker trip that was finicky and wouldn't just turn back on. She did some troubleshooting and got it back up in a few hours. They look even better than when I left. 💪
- Hit the road to meet up with @Phylex. He generously gave us 21 half pint Ball jars for us to test his latest harvest of the first round of beans. WOW it was a lot more than we were expecting. He even gave us the choicest top buds...WTF?? Great seeing you man, we'll see you soon, lots of great stuff is happening right now ;)
- Got some mail that was lost at first but returned by a kind neighbor. 9 packs of legendary genetics from @Schwaggy P. He was so kind and generous to help us with the next chapter of our cannabis journey, chucking/breeding, by doing research and giving us the ingredients to possibly create the strain that led us down the growing path in the first place in order to find it or create it.
- @Heathenraider so generously shared his stash of Heisen seconds - good looking out man, was totally unexpected. We have some good stuff in store for you too my friend ;)

And the new week begins...gonna be hard to beat the last one, but I have a good feeling about all of this :)

Looking really good man! God-O-War looking great especially since it got moved mid-stream. That grape anise licorice from that punch buggy sounds amazing too. Looking forward to seeing how they finish 🍻✌🏻

Thanks Tex! Yea punch buggy is very unique. Like some sorta candy that has a foreign language on the wrapper lol. If the GOW started in RDWC it would probably be a lot bigger but still looks frosty AF

What’s the smell on that GOW? It still looks pretty darn good considering what it’s been through! Y’all are doing some good stuff man! Gets me motivated. I been so busy at work and having the new baby is draining me. I did just get a new 3100k philips bulb for the other 315 cmh so now they are both pushing the same. The bulb my buddy had in his light was a cheapo and once I shut my first light off I could totally tell the difference so I had to get another good bulb. Probably gonna let the seedlings go on one light for a week or so then crank it up! Keep it up man! Y’all are killing it!

Thanks Tex! I haven't got a good smell on her yet. When I do I'll let you know. Good job on getting a matching philips bulb. I like the can but right now it's kinda going to waste because the plants under it are so damn stretchy and lanky. Hoping they'll fill in but i doubt it. We got 2 really big plants in there that will save the harvest. 1/4 of the cmh hits Sunset Wedding #3 which is a big MF so it will be interesting to see how the plant is getting part cmh part led.
