I read through your grow I don't know how you got up over 2000PPM! Until this week anything over 1000PPM would burn my girls. I hit them with 1200PPM yesterday and they loved it but unless I use much less than what Botainicare recommends I get nute burn.
To be honest it both puzzles and bothers me. Fortunately the results don't show really any nute burn at those high PPM's. I calibrated and re-cabrated my meter and have had these high PPM's for 2 grows now of this strain. I use the GH Advanced Nutrient Schedule, but where I have a 25 gallon tank, I run the schedule for an 18 gallon tank. If I ran the 25 gallon schedule, I would have hit like 3000! I learned this on my first grow (hitting 3100+ and having to dump and guesstimate), and it took a while to dial. I am not quite cool with 2000+ on this crop, but I really went by the book and a very calculated schedule and didn't want to stray.
I am no master by any means and may look at
Advanced Nutrients and a few others for my next round. I think there may be a more advanced method (than the standard GH way) for me personally under my specific circumstances. This is my current research as I spent a good deal of time on canopy trimming 101 (air flow, quicker trimming and higher bag appeal).
There are a lot of new nutrient companies which I have to consider with the results I have gotten with GH. Lastly against GH, I hate their Dry Flower agent and want an alternative (conveniently I am almost out and need to re-up anyways on almost all nutes). I will stick with GH for my veg room until I run out.
Your grow looks great and I will stay tuned!
I think the way my plants were able to handle these high nutes, may have been stem size. I only ran the finest, fastest and best rooted of clones I could, and never really dropped the ball.
How large is the base stem on your plants?
