Old.man.moore Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have two white rhino- GHS and they have been vegged for 4 weeks under a 400w MH.They are now just under 2 weeks into flower and I changed the light to a 600w HPS a few days ago.They are in 20l of coco/perlite and I WAS watering when the pots were dry (about once every 5 days) but after a suggestion from Dust on this forum I am now topping then up every day and the differance has been amazing so am sticking with that from now on.I'm using the full canna range with a ph of 5.9 and now ppm of 500.They have been quite heavely trimmed and trainned so the branches are tied right backMy temps run from about 65 to 80 but humidity is pretty wild and goes from 30 to 70- I'm looking at sorting that out because I got bud rot in my last plant and it was obviously devastating The first picture is of my current and the final one is my last white rhino pre bud rot!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old.man.moore Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for the kind repliesWe're on day 15 of flower and all seems to be going well- had high temps last night but sorted now so here are a few pictures - the last is from a really nice green leaf to give a better idea of the plant colourMost of the lower growth has been trimmed, it was getting a little clogged and the pistols have started to formThe watering daily is working a treat- gonna flush next with a light solution and give em a few days to dry alla green houseGreat news about the American votes- a leap forward for all I think 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 good idea with the flush and the drying i was about to tell you Beside that girl look good no sign of problem and i see some little flowers will soon shoot Have a good grow and keep the pics coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old.man.moore Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah man- very happy. I've got a bit of heat stress showing so I've raised my light slightly and I'm getting some rock salt to make a dehumidifier in the next few days so all seems well.The following are pictures during the flush last night- ppm at 250 and ph at 5.8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old.man.moore Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Some more pictures- the plants are really thickening up so I've trimmed a few lower fan leaves and I've added a few pictures of the pulling back and the thick rings around the base of the stems.Also some shots of the full plantsThanks for anyone who's had a lookPlease feel free to comment/critique- I'm still pretty new so advice is more than welcome.

Dust Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 yeah man very nice strong short stem Not much to say so far the girl looks happy between your hand Thanks for the pics manHave a good grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old.man.moore Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 beautiful fat stems, lovelyThe white rhino seems to be great for fat stocky branches- one of them had three nodes instead of two all the way up so it was super fat- I had to trim a lot from that one.Today we are in day 18 of flower and growth is still really fast and I have realised I havnt post any measurements so ill be sure to add them from now on.The bushier plant is 23cm tall and 40cm across and the other is 25cm tall and 45cm across. There are averages but I'm please I've manged to keep them so short- they are getting bigger- quickly but I have the room to cope.The first picture is from the bushier plant and its brown spots due to heat stress so the light has gone up again but the other pictures are of the flowers beggining to form on both plants.Again thanks for the interest and stay high y'all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolI hear that mate- I have a cool tube so thought i could go closer but no- the light distribution is terrible though!!!How are your brown spots- are they spreading or just station on a few?

BEDZ Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah I had a cool tube just sitting there now gathering dust. And the brown spots are on the lower leaves only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEDZ Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 What's your average yield off your 600 watt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old.man.moore Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I used to grow under a 600w a few years back and was new and impatient- I rushed and tried all this advanced stuff to try and get better yields- it never worked- I would get from 10-12 ounces under that. That space was alot bigger so I had quite a few more plants- not wiseI had to stop for a year but in that time I read everything I could on the subject and since then I have been doing smaller grows than this to get the basics down. So this is my first grow in this space and with my ballast on 100% (600w) so I'm really eager to see how it turns out BedzHave you done white rhino under a 600w before- I did and out of all of my horrible newb grows it was the best- I think that's why I chose it again- loved the smoke and it seems to take a lot of stress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDZ Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 No I have never done white rhino before and I done the same as you stopped growing for a while. Learned all I could in that time and back better than before on average I can get about 15-17 off a 600 watt I normally only grow cheese but got a bit bored and wanted to try somthink different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put less A/B in and made the extra up with some pk 13/14.This is about ec of 1.1 so it's a way off what greenhouse recommend but my plants don't look like they need more and canna is probably abit more concentrated I really can't wait to try the powder feeding on my next grow to the full recommended GHS dose and see how they fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old.man.moore Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Day 22 of flower and the flowers are popping up everywhere!!!Some more pictures to show growth- cant wait for the final buds Hope everyone's well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old.man.moore Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 The brown dots are back and the leaves are looking slightly yellow.I think the spots are a calmag issue because my ppm is 46 and I havnt been supplementing at allSo I've upped the ppm to 650 now which includes some extra mag- hopefully this will sort things out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old.man.moore Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Update soon so we see how they did Not good at all Tokage- those pictures were from last night and I've just checked them now- one of them has it slightly but the other seems to be getting it all over now and I've attached some pictures to show how bad it's gotten.Not sure what to try next-my temps have been getting high with the lights on but I don't know if it looks like heat stress.If anyone has seen this before and has any ideas they would be more than welcome- unless this is a salt build up.I'm still relatively new so I am struggling abit now, they seem to show signs of deficiencies and efficiencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
