Ok. Here goes with the deep info
Juicy fruit strain 60/40 sat/ind
Marketed as photo but clearly auto
18/6 light cycle from day one to current
VivosunVS1000 led grow light (100 watt)
50% thru veg, 75 first week flower 100%+ for last three weeks. Aiming for 600 par around the goofy looking canopy. Much more and the leaves seem to shy away.
Soil started as foxfarms Ocean Forrest but musta got moisture in the bag cuz when I went to up pot, there was mold. Threw that away and went with a highly recommended brand from local grow shop. Forget the name of the brand. Must not be super commercial. White bag. Straight soil. No coco.
Nutes are foxfarms
Big bloom: used once or twice as transitioning from seedling to veg
Grow big: two or three weeks in veg
Tiger bloom: once I found out the pistols weren’t preflower and I’m probably dealing with autos (some idiot mixed up the seeds?? Lol)
Each nutrient was used as 1/4 to 1/3 recommended dosage. Every other watering.
Not other nutrients aside from some silica
Water always ph’d to 6.5. 1/2 tap 1/2 distilled to keep ppm around 100. About a gallon a week between the two plants. Watering every five days, more by feel, an inch or two into the soil. I probably overwatered a bit during seedling. Watered often but with a misting spray bottle. Just enough to see some runoff from the red plastic cups.
Tonight I added cal mag, ph’d to 7.1 and runoff is actually PH’ing at 5.7 so that’s probably telling me what my issue is right there.
Quick question, should I run some extra water thru tonight, at like 7.5 to raise the soil ph or just be patient and do another round of 7.0-7.5 next week?
