997ppms.

burn from being within 1 foot of the 400w hps. This was the closest nug.

hard water build-up Fucking up my plants?

 

[Stumpy420]

These only took about a week

both of them rooted faster than the apex stem. These are the two lowest branches that were on it.

Amazing results from such a small container..
I really think plaits and growers have a special bond..
They absorb the energy and good care..

I'm busting my ass to get this right man. And I haven't even been able to save any buds up yet for a really good cure... but when I do (see hanging plants)

once I get the soil down pat I will be crushing... my veg tank is filled! My clone table is filled!

 

[Stumpy420]

Temperature is 80f, 59%rh. So I think I'd be sitting pretty in the VPD area of the grow.

This plant DID NOT START WITH CUPPING OF THE LEAVES. She might just be hungry. The two big ones that were up there in ppms started with "canoeing," or "taco-ing." I have two more plants to flush out but they haven't been drinking very well. I'm thinking about letting them get dry and just barely water them, to try and get a little bit of root gain.
This is a damn Rollercoaster ride.

It can TOTALLY fuck them up. Even happens to true dirt farmers who irrigate with hard water.

Well i gave everything a good hard flush, and the big burnt ones plumped up, so to fed fed and let drain with (gh flora series) a half tsp of micro, quarter tsp of grow, and 3/4 tsp bloom, 1/4 teaspoon cal-mag, and 1/4 tsp of Epsom salts. Did NOT ph lower than 6.5. I think these Starfighter x yeti 3 are easy to lock out magnesium, and my ph dropped too low from the hard water build up. Thinking regular flushing are to be called for in happy frog soil.

I have one SF X Y3 that is not showing mag lock out/deficiency, and she showed me she was hungry with just a couple lower leaves. Ppms of run-off was under 400. She got flushed and fed, today.

While I know conceptually it's possible, I haven't had experience with hard water that pushes pH down. Consider, instead of flushing regularly, instead simply mixing low to 0 EC water with your tap water to bring down the hardness levels.

It's not ridiculous low, 5.5 maybe, but they could have definitely just been locked out of magnesium (the Starfighter x yeti3). Instead of adding 1 ml of gh ph down to a gallon, I'm not going to add any at all, or if I get to strong feedings, maybe some ph up, as the flora series seems to lower it under 6.2 ph when I mix it. The test solution kit showed yellowish green with the 1/4 strength I just fed them, which should be about 6.0 ph. Everything is starting to look better overall.

When I test the ph of my tap water, it tests more blue than green, which makes it like 7.0 or so. I figured I the ph of my soil would come up during waterings, but the build up of hard water kept it too low. Time to start adjusting and see how I start doing

 

[Stumpy420]

ph is just under 8.0 tap water

 

[Stumpy420]

Alright, tomorrow I'm buying a 50 lb bag of Dolomite lime. It's only $13, so I can afford it. I guarantee that I will fix the problem I'm having with it. Apparently happy frog soil NEEDS Dolomite lime. When I get it I will need to know how to do it correctly. I will be doing a slurry test now, I figured out a way to do it.

 

[Stumpy420]

veg box is framed. Have to put some cross-members on it to help make it sturdy.

 

[Stumpy420]

8.2 and 9.7 dried grams of SF X Y3, the two tiny scrawny locked out plants... and 25 grams from the big chipper. Harvested at 8 weeks. Good high on both, but the lock outs fucked up the weight.

I plan on this dolomite lime fixing my ph issues and getting the production up. I just kinda put a tsp or 2 per pot as top dressing per gallon of water..

These guys have only been watered. Now they are down to under 500 ppms each (from soil's start of 1000ppms). Time to feed?View attachment 623402

Stumpy my bad brother. Haven't been feeling to well lately. Depression gets me this month every year for certain reasons.

The plants are looking beautiful brother. To be honest I don't know what type of pests they were. I just did a foliar treatment Neem/hand soap/ room temp water and ran the vacuum over every part of every plant I got. Then hit em with a soil drench & foliar of azamax and that duke nukem'd em. Looked the past 2 days and no mites at all. Granted I got a bunch of damn white spots all on water leafs now.

I also dropped 10 beans and got these 8 females from em.
Ufc, Indi kush, Goo & nycd

Also ran my first batch of extracts today. I ran the qwiso method with 91% rubbing alcohol and got this

Here's a recent pic of the cheese. She has exploded in bloom

Damn bro she got big. That's awesome. I finally been hitting my soil with dolomite lime trying to bring up the ph. Everything starts looking like crap after about the 4th week from flip. Ph is low and they can handle it in veg, but after the stretch it fuck em up.

[Stumpy420]

I forgot to transplant and place my 8th week in. Buds are looking tastey on the first one

 

[Stumpy420]

Today we found out the wife has to have one of those dnc's and have surgery to repair where there is suppose to be tissue between her bladder and uterus. It could turn into a full hysterectomy if there are complications. Then it's game over in the baby making department.

 

[Stumpy420]

The youngest plant in the rotation has been under the flowering light for 1 week and 4 days. Sundays are in/out days. I skipped a week because I was sick last week and forgot to add one in. Plant/week. You can really see the progression of what the low ph does to a plant in flower.

You can really see how after the stretch they start to lose there vigor..

I've been watering with 3/8 tsp dolomitc limestone powder when they need water, trying to work it in. Doing a weekly perpetual I can really start to see when it starts working...
