Hey everyone,
Let me give a rundown on my setup below and then I have 3 main questions, if anyone can help you'd be a lifesaver!
- One Plant (with the rust spots) is Gorilla Glue Fem seed, the second plant (thick one) is Blue Dream Fem.
- RDWC set up, 2 plants in 5 gallon buckets, one 5 gallon res. outside the tent.
- Water chiller keeping the res at 68-69 degrees F. 24/7.
- Current PH 5.9
- Current PPM 750
- Humudity 60% but decreasing to 50 when flower.
- Temp, lights on 75-80F temp when lights off 70-75F
- I use a PPFD meter and adjust light intensity as needed for stage.
- My setup is a 4x2x5’ tent. Two Oscillating fans, one de humidifier, one online duct fan with a carbon filter exhaust (6”). An VIVOSUN aero light 200W LED. Two air pumps (one for each grow bucket) with a 9” stone constantly blowing bubbles.
- For nutrients I am using GH Flora Series Trio. Micro, Grow and Bloom. I add even amounts as directed by label for the stage I’m in until the ppm registers at the right amount needed.
- I am using HydroGaurd as recommended per Gal. (2ml)
- I also use CALiMAGic 1-0-0 as recommended on the back. (1 TSP. per GAL) Since i use RO water.
Question 1:
So I'm in my 5th week of Veg in my RDWC setup. I have 2 plants and they're about 2" away from the height i plan to flower them because i expect them to double in stretch and that will leave me my 16" or so from the top of the canopy to the light for flower. I can keep tucking and weaving along my scrog but i didn't want to fill up to much space before i transition because of the growth for the first 2 weeks of flower. Opinions, keep going more or transition?? I will post pics below.
Question 2:
About two weeks ago i did a water change and my PH meter was off, I didn't notice until about a week ago when I got my Blupen in the mail. I did notice brown/rust spots on one of my plants a lot which is the reason i got the better ph meter. I quickly did a full water change and corrected everything, now i've just been letting it ride and trimming off the bad leaves as i can. I cant tell if it takes time for the new growth and stuff to come in all clear and im just seeing old stuff or if they're in a lock out? My second plant sharing the same res is holding up great and super full. So my main question here is should i wait until i resolve the rust spots fully before going into flowering? I've read its better to happen in veg than flower..so any opinions help, i will post pics below also!
Question 3:
So i've done some lollipopping on the plants now that they're filling out the scrog. Should i trim any fan leaves on the top of the canopy? How do i know which ones to cut and not? Theyre def getting bushy and blocking a lot. Opinions/help??
