Th Seeds DarkStar Week 5

Well to day I had to tie up many lower branches due to weight, they are around an 1.25" in diameter. They seemed to have swelled about .25" with in the last 24 hours, this would indicate that the plant has entered it's second stage of flower growth. As we all know this plants have three stages of flower growth.

I can't wait to see the final sage of growth in the last 3 weeks. I have upped the nutrients to an EC of 4.5 and my pH is still around 5.7 to 6.0. I have not used any pH down this whole run.

I have not flushed this system out since I started on July 4 2010, as you can see by keeping the reservoir temps low and cycling the water threw a main reservoir has aloud the water to stay active and DO is high because of the low water temps.

I don't worry about salt build up due to a couple of things, one is the Mycorrhizal Fungi and the Beneficial Bacteria, with the Humic acid that I have added in the start of week 1. I threw a new sponge in the reservoir to give a place for the Beneficial Bacteria a place to breed by doing this I only had to inoculate once in week 1. The Humic acid helps break down the ammoniacal nitrates from building up and the bugs convert it to usable ION to the plant.

Day 1 Initial pH/EC 5.6/2.26 - 0 water add back - 0 nutrient adjustment
Day 7 pH/EC 5.9/1.98 - 0 water added this week - 0 nutrient adjustment - reservoir temps 70F
Day 8 pH/EC 6.0/2.01 - 0 water added this week - 0 nutrients adjustment - reservoir temps 69F
Day 9 pH/EC 6.0/2.0 - 0 water added this week - 0 nutrients adjustment - reservoir temps 70F
Day 10 pH/EC 6.3/1.89 - 1 gallon water add - 3.2 EC of nutrients and additives @ 4.5 pH - adjusted level 6.0 pH/2.03 EC.

Potassium Silica is what helps the plant do well in high heat. I do not run Co2 at all.

I don't see any purple coloring if that's what you are asking, she does have a taste of kush from what I have tasted from the scissor scrapings, and she is strong.
