Harvest
Dec 1st. Chopped this B today! still pushing white pistils but trichs were mostly amber and cloudy and I don’t need more couch lock. I hate this effing hot spot pos light The colas are dense af, not as frosty as night owl though. I was getting a little paranoid about mold with this strain with the colas touching. Lights on temps were around 79, and I intentionally kept rh 35-40 despite it not being optimal vpd. Could have let her swell a little more to gain a couple grams, but not worth the risk Starting to get deeper into nitro tox anyway.Da claw Also noticed the beginning of calmag def. Last 6 res refills I was giving 5ml calmag(contains no nitrogen) per 4L of water. Notes for next time.

With all the PH fluctuations I feel like I'm just waiting for a lockout or deficiency to show up.
2 months ago
thsee Don’t chase the ph, just make sure your ph is 5.8-6.5 when mixing a new reservoir, it’s going to fluctuate but as long as it’s not going outside 5.5-6.8 you should be okay

She didn't quite finish the rez, but as been drinking a little more. Emptied and wiped down rez, left the trays alone, there wasn't a lot left and I wanted to start silica and I've already PH downed this mix quite a bit. Will be starting use of Southern AG GFF, diluted to 20ml water to 1ml of GFF. Dose 1ml of mix per 1 gallon of water. 2.5L RO water air stoned during day .25ml silica air stoned for 5 hours, then to sit overnight. 2.5ml calmag 4.5ml A&B 4.5ml rhizo 0.5ml GFF solution Waiting for those top branches to get a little longer before I bend them down again, or I may do it tonight since silica has started. Last pic is an 8 day difference, while doing lst every day . Oct 5(day 26), vs today Oct 13(day 34)

Dumped rez and wiped its down along with the tray. Plant has been showing some slight nutrient burn. The same solution (1 gallon) was in the rez for almost 5 days. I have had to add Ph down 3 times a day, which increases EC, so I have been diluting it down with RO water. Time to start fresh. 2.5L mix: 2ml calmag 4ml A&B 4ml rhizo 720- 740 ppm 1.0EC PHed to 5.3 -5.4 in rez because she doesn't seem to be drinking a ton right now. Once drinking is more steady, I will PH to 5.6

PHdowned rez again this morning, checked EC and that had risen to around 1.3. Diluted back down to 1.1 - 1.2. There is some slight tip burn. These damn fan leaves are in the way, but I don't want to cut them yet, tucking

Rez check last night was at 5.8 -5.9, trays were above 6.3! Diluted trays back down, I should have shutoff and dumped tray, but it was late. Rez had risen again this morning, PHed down to 5.3. I will need to work out a solution as checking or not checking the rez multiple times a day is giving me anxiety lol. Topped, and accidentally trimmed the side node along with it, not worried about it

Last night rez was still stable at 5.5. Tray PH was 5.6 -5.7. Expecting a rise this morning, rez was 5.8, PHed back down to 5.5, didn't bother checking the tray since there isn't much I can do anyway, but it should've been under 6.2. These fan leaves are GINORMOUS

Not ready for full LST or topping yet . Started some light tucking. Writing down all my feed and env adjustments really helps. I use a dry erase calendar, specific marker colors are for specific nutrients. About to erase the old calendar and start one for Oct.

Upped the nutrients but gave same 400ml amount. 1.8 calmag, 1.8 A&B, 4.4 rhizo. Diluted down to 800-780 ppm from 810ppm 1.1EC. Looks like she is ready to be put into the autopot base, but I'm not ready yet lol. Last combined pic is yesterday vs today, not the exact same angle but it shows the difference in growth. Also, she grew up into the temp probe, which has been raised

. Hey kinda random but what brand of coco are you using?
Weekly_Bend5138 It's Mother Earth 70/30 mix left over from my last run. My next autopot run I may try straight coco to see if there is any difference with autopot use.
. Dope I’m using M.E also its great, I’m definitely following along with this and when you run straight coco. Looking good
