Clones PBB Okie Cman
51 days cut (12/31/25)
Day 28 of 12/12 (1/23/26)
Very gassy, whole house smells like cat piss
Tent remains open to control rh
Feeders are recirculating drip that run continuously during lights on, nothing during lights off (they do drink about 2 gal out of the pots during 12 hr dark period)
Feed schedule:
Sun) Flush with 15 gal 0 ppm RO water for 1 hour (*pH dependent on current trend 5.6-6.2) Usually ends up around 300 ppm from flushed salts. Empty that. Refill 18 gal RO water to 1400 ppm @ 5.9 pH. Feed is Greenleaf Megacrop 1 part bloom formula. Currently having to top reservoir up after 6 hours light period; 5-6 gal (10-12 gal total per 24 hrs). I've been using mostly dehumidifier water to top up after initial fill.
Mon) Top up with water (ppm will have dropped to 1250-1300 ppm)
Tues) Top up with water (ppm will have dropped to 1100-1200 ppm)
Wed) Top up with water and nutrients back to 1400 ppm
Thur) Top up with water (ppm will have dropped to 1250-1300 ppm)
Fri) Top up with water (ppm will have dropped to 1100-1200 ppm)
Sat) Top with water (ppm will have dropped to 1000-1150 ppm)
Sun) Repeat
* If pH is trending upwards; I'll start it a little low and vice versa
Notes: Ppm will sometimes spike to 1600+ when reservoir gets low. Leaf-tips will start burning around 1700-1800+
I do ranges vs hard numbers. Plants don't care about hard numbers imo
I mix nutrients into a concentrate in 6" of water, in my 1 gal pitcher with a cordless drill until completely dissolved. I mix more than I think I'll need and add it incrementally to the reservoir until I get to my desired numbers (testing as I go). It's ok to keep any leftover concentrate for the coming days.
Room temp average 85f, 45-55% rh. Reservoir temp stays same as room temp
Anybody who didn't appreciate the value of that share, I'm just gonna clear my throat loudly and repeat for anybody that wasn't paying attention. He never sets the feed over 2.8 and it's a "peak" flowering number, even though he's seeing it go up to 3.2 in the tank and intervening, because he sees burn at 3.4. Thank you, sir.
PS - that taper is boss too!
