36 days in the system and from what I can tell things are going stellar. I’ve continued to defoliate and train, but this plant it is definitely taxing my abilities for LST. Things are so short and compact it’s hard to decide where to direct all the branches. This is some great experience as the last time, my first Hydro experience, she really got away from me. Finding it much more difficult to keep up with the pace but I will get it!
I’ve given her almost 2 gallons of water since the first of the month, pH stabilized, quit dropping, and started a very steady and slow rise. I added a gallon of water today and 2 mL of pH down to bring it to 5.8. PPMs have been slowly dropping, and I have noticed a very tiny little bit of leaf tip burn on a very few fan leaves. I do not interpret this to be nutrient burn, not sure what to make of it. If you look close you can see it in a couple of these photos. Temps have been 72F give or take, RH 50 to 60%. Lights still the same height but at 40%.
I see the ppm dropping and I figure at some point I’m going to have to start adding nutrients but I’m not sure what that point is. I will keep reading the plant and looking for signs that she is getting hungry and for the most part, keep my hands in my pockets.
Of note, look at the size of that main stem! That stem is bigger than most of my soil plants at harvest time. Wow.
