I want that goose flag on the back of this wall where that sticker is.

The guy who edited this video to the song has done a amazing job,

Thanks, veg stage is fairly easy. Can't really go wrong if vpd is on point, assuming one would know the fundamentals of growing.
It's the flower phase for me that is most important.

Nice, I have two wedding cake beans waiting on their turn. currently i am running Blueberry cheese, Amnesia Lemon and Cinderella

it's crazy how in couple days their stretch has made them look so bushy again. I think there was a conversation somewhere in @dirtbags journal about stretching and temperatures?
lol, been trying to find it.
After defoliation couple days after

I guess i say one to many times that she is fine. lol! sending positive vibes, but if you guys see something that I don't, than i appreciate the sarcasm.
It's been about a week so time to do a rez change today.

 

[PK1]

I haven't gotten to changing the rez yet, cuz i want to know the problem to the deficiency. I did a syringe test on them and the rockwool ph is down to 5.2 with 1.6ec
I am taking that if i making my rez change at a slight higher ph than the rockwool ph should get back up again. I'm going to keep my ec the same at 1.7

Looking great in here bubba; that color green is perfect going into flower IMO. Get it dialed in and look at what the leaves are telling you there; animation wise. Not just colors. Those curled (droopy) tips look to me to be sitting on the acidic side of the equation; if I'm not mistaken.

I would maybe even consider dial back the lights a bit; until you get them back up again; on track again. Even 12-24 hours can be helpful. But I would make any adjustments very gradually.

Many of the leaves still appear very animated; more so to the back of the canopy. Most of them look like there still in the zone; so to speak.


This stands out to me; at first it looks like magnesium is involved somehow; but it's looking to me like somehow another pH issue? Perhaps?

Chimera leafing... I don't know if it's got a scientific name or not. but it's odd; cause it looks like perhaps a disfunction of Magnesium; Potassium or even possibly Sulfur. Not exactly sure; TBH. I could be totally off base.


But the curling in the front to me looks concerning; but after seeing that wind blow in the video; that could be the cause also; which isn't a bad thing in and of itself. So maybe I'm splitting hairs. Just take everything I say with a grain of salt.

ya, im gonna turn the light back down a bit and open the water valves to the rockwools a bit more. Trying to balance the generative feeding which is like pee drips. lol!

I think 1st i should get the ph to balance at 5.6 and from there on i will see how the new growth is. I am currently adding 15 grams of Epsom salt with every rez change and thats just cuz i know what kind of sucking Mg monkeys these girls are. lol!

So are you finding that's fussy like regular hydro; or do you feel like you've got a little more control over the buffering system?

Yea; I agree; especially going into flower; Mg; calcium and sulfur in that order for me. Once you get past the bud set; then calcium starts taking the front seat; IMO. I tend to pull back on phosphorus somewhat these days; I think it can be easily overdone.

Since i don't know the watering timing perfectly I find it that it makes a bit challenging. The rest is very similar to hydro. Rez was stable from the 3rd day or so and i've been really just focusing on the plant and the watering cycle. Made some mistakes but its a learning curve. I;ve already picked up on some design flaws and how i can make it more stable.

I also mentioned above that im following @Dirtbag temp differential technique and bringing the temps at night up to 85f with 65% RH then during the light on it comes to 82f with 70RH%

Great job!

Here are the girls after almost one week of flip. No signs of flower yet, i know from past grows that the Cinderella and Amnesia would take about a week or so to start showing flowers. I do see some light green spots on the leaves. Never had that before. Could this be light stress? lights are now at 60%

 

[PK1]

Let the games begin, i'm going to count today as the 1st day of flower

Oh Sandy!

In all honesty when i started this rockwool journey, i never thought i would have problems in not watering enough. I was more paranoid with root rots, molds and such and overwatering.
anyway, laugh it up!! its funny when you open the door and you get hit with a surprise of saggy tits everywhere.
Not sure what made the pumps not work, but i just gave it a 5 min flush to wash the salt that has been built up. Not a good start at the beginning of flower.
