I missed it what is temp and rh now?I’d like to see a higher temp for better photosynthesis .that way he could push more ppfd.
I’m trying to break him in gently. Continuous positive pressure to snip. Once you do it right and see the results you will never be afraid to snip again.looks like it needs a haircut ……..again
Res change went well and I'm happy with the new Silica Boost in place of the Tree Trunk, seems to be a very strong base and does not add to the ppms, which kinda surprised me.
I went off the GH chart as a guide and dialed in a bit more aggressive feed this time to try to push the limits of what this gal can take, and learn a bit in the process, will keep a sharp eye on her for the next couple of days to see how she handles the higher nutrient levels. I think this may be a mistake but I want to see for myself what that might look like and how to remedy things (if needed), which I believe, if the nute levels are too high I can just dilute them down with some fresh RO water.
The light has been dialed up to 90%, temps sitting at 74F, 50% RH, leaf temp between 70F and 71.5F, Ph at 5.8, ppms at 1130, water temp around 66F and rising to the chiller limit set at 68F.
Also, hope to make you proud @Moe.Red with my most aggressive hack job I've ever done. I could have made 50 real nice clones from what I took off her. I am guessing I will see more sucker branches as things progress and I will take them off as needed.
Bro that plants looks great you are honing your craft!! You took the plunge in hydro and are making it happen my dudeCruising along, starting week 3 flower and she is finally starting to stretch a bit. New blossoms forming and she is looking sharp!
I will be changing out the res tomorrow but would definitely be interested in learning from @Moe.Red or @Aqua Man the process of amending the res without changing it out completely. I don't mind doing that but I am seeing it will be a big waste of nutrients and additives. I'm using this new Silica Boost, which works well, but I have to add a lot more than the Tree Trunk and it has taken almost all week for the PH to settle down from the steady drop. This is the second res change using the Silica Boost and it seems to me that it takes almost a week to get the buffer capacity where it needs to be. If I can just amend the nutrients without a complete change out, this will preserve my buffering and my microbe colony. No big deal, I can make it to the end as is, but at some point I want to learn the art of the calculation of nutes.
It may not look like it, but I have pulled several large handfulls of leaves and probably 75 snips that could have made nice clones.
Thanks Moe, I have slowly been cranking up the light and am now at 100%. I have to be honest and say I had to look up brix and what that is all about. I will have to get one of those meters for my tool box and I remember someone here talking about a garlic press too. Imma gonna get there with all the tools one day!Sweetleaf you can up the ppfd and push harder is you want. She can take it.
I’d love to know what your brix is at.
Same here Max, I have been able to get things up to 77F in that tent, sitting at 47% RH and running a humidifier and extra heat, but that is only because we are not having the -20F temps outside at the moment. Those temps are brutal, especially for this room that is blocked off from the rest of the house because of the remodeling project. Once that is finished, it will be easier, but still difficult when we see -20 all the way down to -60F temps during our winters.I’d like to see a higher temp for better photosynthesis .that way he could push more ppfd.
I'm pretty close to this at the moment.Without CO2 best temp for this plant right now is about 78F. Rh should then be 50 -55%
I had to laugh at this one, I am getting thereI’m trying to break him in gently. Continuous positive pressure to snip. Once you do it right and see the results you will never be afraid to snip again.
Thanks bro - I'm using the Spider Farmer SE 3000 in a 3x3.I couldn't find it, but didnt look to hard either. What light u using again and how big was that tent?
Thanks for all this great information Moe! So I get all that, pretty straightforward. I understand that inevitably the plant will drink water, although I have noticed that all this defoliation has slowed that down, I have replaced about 1.5 - 2 gallons over the last week since the res change. Whether or not I added back in water, I still see what you are saying...adding back in the same proportions is going to keep that ratio between the three formulas the same. Adding more RO water will just bring down the total ppm but not change the ratios.Now let’s say you have not fed in a week and you are at 400 ppm.
If you change out no water and want to maintain the same ratio this week you add 100ml of each of the 4.
You will be roughly right.
I just had a couple months of cheese dick feeling like crap, but bouncing back, hope you do to. Related to your situation or just the typical winter cold flu stuff?
