Well thank you..
I went back in this thread to see my pics you were talking about but i didnt post any..
Guess you mean on mt thread..
Well guess i have to change that lol
5 days in reveg to grab a clone from the keeper i decide on..
The tops are all drying..
Another 10 days i can do smoke report and pick the keeper.
By then we should be back in veg to take a couple clones..
Sorry brother, I went back and looked and it was
@OldManRiver 's pics. I got the names mixed up. That must have been confusing lol.
The amount of new nodes has more than quadrupled in less stem space than use to have only two.
My ppm 800
My temps 65
Many small bubbles in each pot.
Month between change out.
800 ppm is fine. Still a tad hot imo but should be fine. I say it's hot bc in your situation, I would be backing way off. The plants have been stressed, make it easy for them for a while.
65 is too low. Ideally, you want 68, 69,70 all the time. You can go as high as 72, but no higher. As low as 68, but no lower. You need a thermometer in the control bucket. They are cheap.
A month between change out is too long. 2 weeks is a stretch even if topping it off. It's one of the reasons to feed light during this stage, you will most likely end up pumping it out in a week (I go 7-10 days)
When you are at the stage you are at the plants don't eat much...so it's best not to feed them much. But you need to change the water. I use a shop vac and empty the control bucket (which is connected to all the others) I wheel it over to the door, connect a hose to a pump, drop the pump in and pump it out. It's a bit of a pain, but it's only during this stage. Once they are larger, they will eat/drink a lot. My last run, after they filled the scrog, I didn't pump any water out unless I was flushing. The plants would drain the buckets themselves.
The roots are not white which I was slightly concerned about
Yours look great. They are usually only white until they hit the nute solution. It's fine. The "brown" we are talking about is much darker. Yours have nute stain...what we are worried about root rot or fungus problems. I use Botanicaire
Liquid Karma which stains them even more. You'll learn to see the difference over time. Yours look great.
Imo you don't need
hydroguard or h2o2. Your water temps are low. Get the nutrients back on track and add those again only if you need them. At least that's what I would do.
Can you tell us what you are feeding them and what amount?
And you have air stones in each bucket correct? And about 3 gallons of solution per bucket?
And it might seem silly to stress it, but this...
Hey brother!!!!!!
This is a journey! Enjoy it!
Have fun!
I can promise you 2 things!
You will succeed.
And you be proud of the effort,
and you can build on all of this,
and every grow...
I think that's the best mindset to have. I've been gardening for a very long time (veggies, trees, patches etc). I thought this plant would be easy since I already have a handle on many of the principles...but cannabis is tricky to grow well, even for an experienced gardner.
If you approach it with the mindset that your first run won't be perfect, you will be much more observant to what mistakes you made, and what they caused. You will me less emotionally attached. In other words, you should be looking at this run as a practice. You will be fine. Your next one will be better etc.
Like he said...it's a journey, enjoy it. One of the best ways to do that is to take the pressure off yourself to have a cup winning crop. That's not going to happen. The best you can hope for is usable product. And despite the hiccup, I would say you are on track for that goal.
Fwiw, the things I learned at first: Environment is everything. Nutes are easy, I can give you a recipe that is used by many and if you can measure...you can nail it.
Environment is what separates the men from the boys...and amazing product vs mediocre. It's the hardest part to nail imo.
You are probably using h202 and
hydroguard because you are afraid of root rot etc? If your temps are in check, you will be fine. The people who run into RR are usually in hot water, or a unsterile system. You appear fine on both fronts.
Hydroguard, h202, ph up/down are all things I avoid if I can. I commend your caution, but I don't think it's necessary. The bottom half of your plants look great.
