It’s time to start over. Before I do, I’m buying a commercial dehumidifier. I am remodeling my basement so there will be some accommodations made for growing. It’s a learning process for me.
I grabbed more seeds from @Trustfall and will get after it again.
I bring bad news.
I am traveling right now and my wife has been caring for my plants. She sent me photos of my plant and she was looking very rough. I asked her to check PH and it was high at 6.5. She lowered it and the next day she still looked really bad.
Then she lifted the lid further to...
Good morning.
Res change and nute increase from 600 to 770 PPM.
5.7 ph
Water temp is 69°
I don’t prefer my current tote set up. It’s not easy making anchor points for LST from the base. I’ll likely change this up next grow.
Planning to flip in about 2.5 weeks.
I increased the PPM to 750 on Sunday. She doesn’t like it that high as evidenced by her tip curl, discoloration and the beginnings of tip burn. I diluted her back to 600 PPM by adding RO.
74: This morning she received a light defol and a res change. Her roots are half white and half brown. The water is clean and clear and the hydroguard is working well.
I think the discoloration of some other new growth is root health related.
Will look to flip toward the end of the month or...
Day 71
I suppose she won’t get much more vertical from her main stem? I’d like for her branches to stretch a little higher off the lid.
The reservoir change was last Sunday and she was at 650 ppm and she is hanging around 620 this morning. Her PH barely went up- 5.7 up to 5.9.
Water temp 69°...
Sounds good, thanks. I’m curious about various growing techniques. I’m going through your thread now, albeit slowly. I’m enjoying reading it and learning too. You’re heavily invested and it’s impressive.
Copy, lmao. My wife tells me I have Münchausen syndrome for my plants. She’s brutal. But not wrong 🤣
Cool man, I’ll do my soil grows differently for experimentation. I’m not sure what style of training I like so I’ll try different ones.
Yeah, she seems to like 600, so I gave her about 650...
Day 67
Gave her a trim on Wednesday and let her rest.
PH at red change was 5.7. It crawled up very slowly to 6.0 and her PPMs remained 600 the whole week.
Water temp 69°
Day 76° and 60%
Night 68° and 50%
I’m having trouble getting my ACI T7 humidifier to stop pissing water all over my tent...
Day 60.
Res change complete:
5.7ph
650 ppm. She seems to like less nutes. I might need to lower even more.
Water temp is 68°f room temp is 75°f
I stretched her out wider and will top her again in about a week. I’d like her to get more vertical; her fan leaves keep growing and touching the...
Day 56: Res change is scheduled for tomorrow. It was 7 days since last change.
She started at 815 PPMs and remained that way until two days ago PPMs began to rise. Yesterday it rose to ~1150 so I added RO to dilute. She’s down to ~750ppms which is fine until tomorrow res change. I will target...
Bro, I’m new but I’m not positive you’re reading your PPMs correctly. It’s my understanding if your PPMs are dropping that means your plants needs more nutes.
If PPM stays the same as water level lowers, that means the concentration of nutrients in the water is well balanced and the plant is...
I see, thanks for the tips, keep them coming. I’m learning here and I have another person who is advising me as I go along.
Lots of info out there and lots for me to learn.
