Futuremind and Big Mac Superstar Cannabis

Hello Everyone,

Today the topic of nutrient feeding and watering has been on my mind, but specifically patience in regard to feeding and watering.

Currently I'm feeding the Big Mac Superstar a combination of three products. In the caption above I put the brands and amount I am feeding. I will be increasing the dose 0.5 tbsp per gallon with each product starting tomorrow when the lights come on.

Today I wanted to water but I knew the plant didn't need it. I'm just loving the bud explosion, so this natural compulsion to feed feed feed, water water water is like an addiction for me.

It's really easy to overdo it when it comes to cannabis, and is one of the most common novice mistakes, either overwatering or overfeeding or both.

Sometimes I put the lights too close, but have found the sweet spot with this LED panel, being about fourteen inches from the plant. I have not measured PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) because I do not have the required equipment to do so yet. Twelve inches or more for high powered LED panels during flowering is a general rule of thumb but differs depending on the lights and plants.

The plants in the vegetation closet are all very healthy and they are getting large fast. The Lemon Drip cannabis will need to go in the flowering tent soon.

That will do it for today.

What do you all think of how things are coming along?

I would love to read your thoughts in the comments!

Dear @futuremind, we need your help!

The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago when the HBD stabilizer proposal rose above it.

May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work?
You can do it on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.

All votes are helpful and yours will be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Now I see the happiness of nurturing the happy jungle, it is no doubt addictive when knowing the end result is going to be awesome!

The lighting distance does require knowledge on how much luminance and heat can be generated from the light panels. Thus having a property measuring tool might come in handy. Why not consider using cell phones sensors?

Check out "Lux Light Meter Pro"

I personally have not tried it, but might be a good tool for you to to document it for future reference. Again, numbers are numbers, it's about experience when come to planting. It will be even better with the numbers to support.

Side note, this shot you look like a power lifter 🤣

Hey @davidke20,

I didn't know about this app but I think it's awesome and I'm going to try it. Thank you for the resource! It will be interesting to see how accurate it is and should be a good baseline app to learn some new things.

It would make an interesting post to share screenshots of the app readings and what not, other gardeners on the blockchain could greatly benefit from this thing too. I hope it functions as great as it looks! :D

lol.. it must be all those photosynthetic photon's blasting down on my shoulders. 🤣

Thank you for the kind words my friend :)

Data collected from these kind of 3rd party app may not be accurate. Many more external and internal variable can affect the numbers, from the type of sensor, the microchip that controls the sensor, the software written to collect data from sensor, are not specifically designed to collect lux data.

That being said, the same environment with same setting, if you use a different phone, there's a chance you will get different reading caused by different polarised sheet being used to collect lights in each individual phone sensor.

However, it can still be very useful since the data only applicable to you, and you alone are the one knows how to setup your own planting facilities. And agree to having a recorded data as baseline reference. May be useful for others if they know how to start somewhere.

It is pretty creepy the way everyone is ignoring what is happening to me and still going to Hivefest. Lay the dirty snatches out why dont ya. Fake it all you want creeps, its so obvious the blind eye you are turning. @fyrstikken told me what V2K and RNM was before they turned it on for me. Around that time he introduced me to @roelandp . I still have the emails between myself and @roelandp . This chain is centralized by design and @fyrstikken helped set it all up to fuck everyone, one by one, slowly into my situation. This is no joke you dumb mother fuckers, they shock you to your thoughts..... Hello????? It is in store for everyone you fools and your helping. Voices pulsed in your head and shocks to your thoughts??? Ignore me and help fuck innocent people for life? @roelandp and other top witnesses I know are involved with @fyrstikken.. Wait until people find out you conspired to enslave them with this shit. I am not crazy and you know it. they are doing this shit to me and told me what it mother fucking was BEFORE THEY TURNED IT ON! Your acting like naive children or maybe you are just part of the problem? You look like sociopaths. Everyone should unplug from HIVE until they are caught, .your. celebrating and ignoring my obvious, you look like fools. You know who is doing it....they are trying to kill me with it. The Havana Syndrome is real too you slave trading V2K, RNM enabling fuckers. Arrogantly play ignorant you Creeps, your setting the table for trafficking and total enslavement. I did not know I was circumvented until a year after I was?..People here will be nice until it?s too late. There is no way to stop it once they have you. Grow the fuck up, this is not aliens, gods, celebrities or a medicate-able mental concern. It is 100% electronic and beast as fuck. You do not want this shit. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

Hey man love the passion and love that you have for your garden! Those numbers on you nutes are insane. Not many people can play with those high of numbers and keep their plants alive! Great job man!

Maintaining a fabric pot moisture levels for a cannabis plant is quite the learning exp. Gotta know when to just water the sides or the whole thing. It is something I am still getting the hang of esp as I have started using bigger fabric pots.

When I used to grow in Cali I was apart of an operation that would use 10-15 different bottles of organic fertilizer to mimic miracle grows numbers. We were mostly growing outdoors though but watering was so key (2-3x a day) esp in 5 gallon plastic containers. But it wasnt until I discovered Elaine Ingham and her compost teas did the fertilizers work efficiently.

The only fertilizer I use now is a soy hydrolysate and kelp in my compost teas aside from the amendments already in the soil.

Happy growing man! Looking forward to another post from you and your big ole smile!

Hey @dynamicgreentk,

Thank you for the kind words and insight regarding nutrients!

Your comment prompted me to take a closer look at my measurements and this is slightly scary what I'm seeing. I'm feeding 15 ml Cal-Mag while recommended max feeding is 5 ml per gal, wow.

The same is true for the Humboldt's Flower Stacker, max dose recommendation is 9 ml and have also been feeding 15 ml.

The Flower Fuel measurement seems to check out ok.

I'm not sure how I made this miscalculation but it could have been very bad.

Backing down on those two products seems like a good idea to avoid any potential issues. I'll lower those down to the max recommended doses and leave the Flower Fuel at its current dose.

I really appreciate the resources and consider this information worth its weight in gold, thank you! You may have saved me from messing up my beautiful plant by prompting me to take a closer look at what I'm doing!
