Well we can learn together then. I'm thinking of slowly raising the PPM levels during flowering, first up to 900 depending on how the plants and root mass develops but range of 900-1100 PPM with the current size of the girls is something of an inevitability since I'll be playing with Big Bud...
But I have to mention this. Respect to myke and Hust17 for sticking around the longest, mellow old school is there for a few posts but you two have been here from start to finish. Honestly I never expected anyone to stick around this far with me, since I couldn't exactly post this onto the grow...
Girls seem to be fine now after the whole fucking fiasco. Made the SCROG yesterday, it's very barebones and helps the colas to grow straight as desired, but I'll keep an eye on of I need to create extra support for the thicker stalks that stretched during the week that my so-called friend...
Okay, I gave the girls lollipop trimming now. Yesterday after switching out the remainder of res water I hit it with PPM of 800 with the pH at 6,0 since the girls look big enough for that, there was a lot of lower canopy and flimsy colas that wouldn't produce anything good along with highly...
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
Had to be away for a week due to personal affairs, and my mistake was trusting a friend to look after my plants who declared they knew what to do with the girls. Well, they did fuckall. They didn't trim the lower canopies...
Hmm, then I guess I'm keeping an eye on other cal-mag additives I can buy from my country, hopefully I'll find GH cal-mag since it has less nitrogen or maybe AN has a hydro specific cal-mag that doesn't screw with nitrogen...
So that's what it was called... Lollipopping, completely forgot that incredible little technique that even first timers like me can use.
On a note I haven't noticed much change on the leaves since yesterday in terms of damage... Maybe I should have a PPM of around 550 and focus on using the...
Mission report
Well whatever is happening to the plants is still going off, but today I'm switching reservoir water. The plants are fucking big for the tent right now, so I really should start flowering instantly after the symptoms have disappeared...
I'm thinking of snipping off the lower...
An ordinary electric kettle for boiling water works just fine at eliminating impurities in tap water, even though we have some of the cleanest tap water in the world I still boil it at this point to get rid of the stuff cannabis doesn't really need just to be safe. If you're worried about...
CRAP ON A BISCUIT
Well, there's definitely something not so fun happening to the plants... PPM is at 592, water level is few centimeters below the 20L and pH was at 6,5ish. WELL, first of all I started distilling more water after I gave the res a tad of pH down and am currently asking for...
Okay I have been fighting with the pH and the PPM after diluting is around 540-550 but I've also kept an eye on the night time humidity level now, it's at 78-79%... I imagine that's terrible for flowering when I make the switch of light cycles...
