Second grow - trying hydro in coco.

There's more amber. I'm seeing it clearly on all the tops now. Tomorrow or Sunday I'll harvest. The Hella Jelly lives up to it's reputation for fast - tomorrow is day 52 of flower. Hopefully it's potent!

I set up more today. I've got a magnetic spinner for mixing nutes. It only will take the weight of 5 quarts. So I built a shelf with a 2 inch drop for the spinner. Now I can mix any weight.
Also set up a pump and reservoir for my veg room. I'm taking 2 weeks of vacation coming up and I'd like for my fill in to not have to come every day.
 
This one is Hella Jelly.
I had early issues with Ph. I was running it really low in the start of flower(my ph meter went down and I switched nutes). I also thought it was an auto flower. The preflowers were huge, but it went a little over the timing on the package after I flipped it.
The buds are really heavy. I'm hoping it's about 3 ounces.
 
Went on vacation for a few weeks. Came home to beautiful flowers. The waste was running a bit hot at 5.5ph and 4450ppm. I flushed them out until it's 5.7 and 2800 and added a few seconds to the fertigation.
 
I'm smoking the Hella Jelly. It's just as mild and smooth as the rest I've grown. It has a little more flavor than the Skywalker. Still really mild. It's hard to complain about a good stone with a really smooth smoke, but I wish it had some more flavor. I think it's hitting a little weaker than the Skywalker, but this grow did have a Ph issue at the start of flower.
 
The Skywalker is at about 7 weeks.

Here's a picture from my room cam. They look a little burned. I'm not sure if I'm just running a bit hot or need to run sledge hammer through it every once in a while. The run of does come off hot. The ppm is 1.5x to 2x the nutrients. Ph is fine. I've been pouring some RO water over it every once in a while to keep the run off under control.

Damn, those are not just a little burned, you took the flamethrower out.
I guess it's a nutrient Lockout mainly potassium, due to too much salt content. Roots burned so the leaves are following. Way too high ppm runoff tells the same story.
I'd flush with a lot ro water(to get the ton of salts out) and a very little nutrient concentration(to keep the plant alive)
After this they're pretty soaked, give em a day or two dryback to get oxygen to the roots again, depends on how fast the plants dryback, don't let them dry out.
The leaves won't recover, even if the salt buildup is gone, so I'd keep them running with low fertilisation and check the trichomes every other day and pull them a little earlier because the photosynthesis slows down but all should be good and the trichomes milky at least.

For the next runs don't ever just flush with ro/tapwater in Coco, they need some nutrients all the time. Just decrease it and don't overdose the feeding
Hope this helps a little. ✌️
 
I add some nutes on top after I hit it with the ro. I did just flush with sledgehammer. These are a week or so out. No real saving it. I'll see how good it comes out. And I'll keep a better eye on the runoff next run.

Sounds good.
Didn't knew what sledgehammer is also didn't recognized it as flushing agent. Maybe next time add to it from foxfarms or flushing agent 😉
How much and what are y fertilizing? 4000ppm runoff sounds crazy high.
 
I am using the athena line. I've started using less of that now too. It lists 1500 or 2100ppm. Measuring as listed on the feed schedule, I get the 2100 number. I've reduced that to about 1600/1700.
The FF sledgehammer is on their feed schedule to flush every 3 or 4 weeks.
