So its Friday, Did my weekly rezy change, cleaned filter and turned on my top drip rings with plain ph water for about 20mins. Now that im running a higher ppm, I like to do quick flushes to keep the salts from building up on the roots and in my growing media. I added alit more sweet raw Botanicare, and then added alit Mills nutrient PK. Dialed in the ppm back to 1250 bc with the added pk I don't need to bump the ppm's.

Day 39 flower Shiva Skunk.Raised ppm to 1350 add alit more sweet raw Botanicare, and then added alit more Mills nutrient PK and Dutch masters A and B. Ph is at 5.7 water temp dropped to 67 but dialed it back to 68 deg. Im thinking of cutting in two separated harvest this time around. Cut all the cola's and let the bottoms finish up with alit more light. Ive never done that before but have read some people have good luck with it. Plus it would separate the work load into 2 days? Does anybody have a opinion on the subject? Don't know if it works the same because ive only read it on soil peoples threads Not hydro!?!?

Alright fellow growers and growies! Its that time again Friday night show. I don't know why I kept doing this every Tuesday and Friday since no one even says anything good or bad.lol but on with the show:cigar:
So its day 49 of flower. Today is day 7 of flush ppm's still sitting at 250 ph 5.8 water temp at 68. So I norm run the strain im using for meds 52day but since its been a good run things are finishing up a couple days faster then norm. Im going to be harvesting them in two selections. One at day 50 and then the rest on day 52. Never used this method before but im going to give it a whirl. Hoping since there in hydro,when I cut the buds off it doesn't draw to much water out of its wound and start any molds.?.? Fingers are crossed Hope everyone is getting prepped for the Holidays!!

Paperstreet Thank you! Im limited on space and numbers but I try to get all I can. I use the netting for both training and top support. First couple weeks of flower is where I slowly spread her out and then by the time harvest is around they need there help standing against the weight they've stacked on. Win win Kinda sucks after they've grown thru the net and you got to get the out all swollen and sticky but its worth the time and work if you ask me!
