Thank you for the informative reply. That really cleared things up for me.They seem to flower when they want to really.
Of the 5 I've got going from the same seed stock, but very different parents, I had hairs forming on 2 at least long before flowering started. Those 2 had tons of hairs within a week. 2 other plants took a week before they started showing up. Then the last one, that's still got no brown hairs at 59 days, took over 2 weeks for hairs to even show up and another week and a half before it looked like the others did within a week or two.
And absolute worst case scenario... You got the wrong strain and instead of flowering in 10-12 weeks it'll be done in 8-10 weeks. Other than that there's nothing to fear from flowers showing up early unless it's happening in veg and veg has stopped which either means an autoflower strain or simply a strain that wants more hours of daylight.
Sounds good..Not my weekly update, just a situation and action taken.
My Alpine OG started getting some nutrient burn.
I feed the Alpine OG and the smaller Lilikoi behind it 1/2 gallon twice a day. The Smaller Lilikoi dose not have any nutrient burn and it’s been getting the same feeding as the Alpine. This puzzled me but I think I figured it out.
Because the Alpine is bigger it was probably sucking up more water then the Lilikoi between feedings resulting in a dryer medium and less run off witch probably allowed some salt build up in the Alpine OG’s pot. And is why I’m not seeing any issues with the Lilikoi plant.
Checked run off on both of them today and their the same. 5.8 going in and 6.3 coming out.
The action I took was I gave the Lilikoi it’s normal feeding and I gave the Alpine OG a full gallon of plan water pH to 5.8 and plan to give it another full gallon of plan water at 5.8 before she go’s to sleep. And resume normal feeding for her tomorrow. And going to start giving her a little more volum each feeding to insure I get enough run off to keep the salts down.
Thoughts?
I was actually studying up on EC last night. Electrical conductivity. Pure RO water dose not conduct so by measuring EC your measuring everything in the water that’s not H2O. But also under the impression that EC and PPMs are essentially the same. Just multiply your EC by 500 to get the PPM or devide the PPM by 500 to get the EC. This is important to me because I only have a pen to measures PPM.Sounds good..
When you checked run off dont worry about ph per se, its the Ec or salt build up were checking for.. But u did what i would.. So now you wait..
Except dont flush coco with straight water. Pour a cup of old res fluid in it and 3x pir size. Wait a watering and resume normal feed.
I’m not sure what you mean by 3x our size. Like 3x the pot size? It’s in a 3galon pot so run 9 gallons through it?Sounds good..

Yes it would be 9 gal...I’m not sure what you mean by 3x our size. Like 3x the pot size? It’s in a 3galon pot so run 9 gallons through it?
Gotcha. Thank youYes it would be 9 gal...
Now you see why its incredibly stupid to use big pots...
I use 1/2 gal pots so 1 1/2 gal flushes it.
I would prob just do what your doing, but run some reg strength thru it after the straight ro.
That way you fill up the cation exchange...
I checked the run off PPM after adding the last Gallon and got a reading around 400 so I took your advice and PH 8 more gallons and started flushing. I checked my run off PPM a few times as I went and sure enough it took all 9 gallons to get my run off PPMs down around 150ppm. I then added 1/2 gallon of normal nutrients.Yes it would be 9 gal...

Thanks for the reply bro.She looks healthy. ..probably just a different pheno. I wouldn't worry.
I'm not an expert by any means, but I have two mottos when growing. K.I.S.S. and if it ain't broke, don't fix it :-)Thanks for the reply bro.
That was my thinking also but with my limited experience I figured I should ask.
