UC actual available nutrient profiles

[BudGoggles]

Yes I do

 

[desertsquirrel]

I love 7-10 ml cal-mag on tables. Im a bit worried about doing it in a UC though... more info please....

budgoggles, how long does your swing take?

 

[BudGoggles]

Usually I dont have to adjust ph for 2 weeks and when I do it means flush time

 

[desertsquirrel]

you topping off with water? or just letting it run till water is low and ph is high and then dump?

 

[BudGoggles]

In veg I add ro water when needed and top off nutes. In bloom I have auto top off ro water and add back nutes when needed
Usually when I add water and nutes it brings the ph right in range once its out of wack and start dropping or raising after a couple weeks then I flush and refill fresh water and nutes

ok so here are pics of both rooms (one at a week and one at 12 days.) the room at 12 days will go into flower tomorrow (running pbp in the back and cns17 in the front). room at 1 week is in H & G.

I did hit everything with some epsome salt and it seemed to greatly help the mg/s issues. ill post calculations for the mgso4 tomorrow...

Everything is looking ok, and growing well. But its not quite as turgid as i would like to see... any ideas?

awesome set up man!!! I am also having some cal mag issues i run h&g with ro and add 1.5 ml per gal think im gonna bump it up to 3 ml or even more after what budgogles said. Very intrested to hear more

 

[desertsquirrel]

finally im getting these gurls looking how i want... the 5.2-6.2 swing is working great... also hit them with the magnesium sulfate...

 

[BudGoggles]

Nice they have perked up a lot

 

[kritical]

i ran with 2ml of cal mag plus from botanicare and let the p.h. swing 5.0 to 6.3.

 

[UCMENOW]

Nice, looking good.....flip em and let their love light shine on through.

 

[leadsled]

great thread, girls are looking good DS!

 

[desertsquirrel]

flipped em 2 days ago for the big room and will in 2 days for the smaller one... thanks for stopping by and helping me get here guys...

very happy with the undercurrents...

 

[desertsquirrel]

pH was at 6.2-6.3 today from 5.2 2 days ago. pHed down to 5.2 again with add .27 and more cal-mag (needed some ph down as well). snapped a few pics...

 

[crossouttheiis]

That is about twenty days in the UC then? That looks awesome. I hope my girls will get that big by the time I hit that mark in my uc. Luckily my root system is blowing up first which is what my strain likes to do before it starts growing up top

 

[desertsquirrel]

15 days total, 11 veg on the big ones... the little ones are at 9 days veg.

 

[desertsquirrel]

these gurls are almost at 20 days total in the undercurrent and at about 5 feet tall. they are growing at around 3 inches per day. that being said they gave us a scare today. Ill post that in another thread called "UC stage fright" when im done here... anyway, the pics....

Oh, i hit them with open sesame today (about 7 days into flower).

 

[happydude]

man those ladys look awsome for 20 days man keep it up

 

[desertsquirrel]

!0 days into flower, 21 days in the undercurrent total. (Now at 6 feet tall). Did a bleach clean out (2 hours of recirculation) and then a rez change. nutes going in at 1.1-1.2 ec and ph of 5.1-5.2....

 

[UCMENOW]

U still letting pH drift from 5.1-6.0?

Plants look as if they could benefit from some added silica/potash to strengthen stalk and stem and it seems as though those minerals are more available around 5.8-6.2. Might be worth dialing in one your systems to that pH range and see if if doesn't enhance your plants over all turgidity and rigidity.....just a thought.

BTW.....your plants look awesome.
