Looks great bro, Beautiful plants, I've got a tent the same size, very impressed with your canopy management.

Can't wait to see them flowering, I just got me a 10 pack of D-train, biggest beans I've ever fucking seen!!!!

a couple pots were light so i gave them a full left turn tic mark. will check tomorrow to see how they did, i am dialing in a couple of them while 2-3 are perfect. i will also be adding water to the rez tomorrow. i will do it as soon as the lights turn on so i have time to monitor the flow


verdict is still out on whether i will continue using the blumats.....garden is lookin killer

everything downstairs has maintained a clean bill of health...everything seems to be doing very well. i have measured the watermark in the rez and will see how much water they truly end up drinking. im kicking myself for not doing that when i set it up. i was giving them about a 6-7gallons of ph'd tap water every 3-4 days. i assume they are drinking just as much if not more.


i havent checked the ph of the rez but i have been phing the water before i pour it in to 6.5. with the supersoil i dont have to be AS cautious but its prolly a smart idea (considering my ph issues before i transplanted them).




should i be adjusting the ph in the rez and monitoring it every few days? any advice on this would be much appreciated.


today is day 14 and i believe im in for some stinkers. my carbon filter is overtime. i might purchase another 4x12 PHRESH to have on hand. i like to have backups and redundancy anyways. i am sort of OCD about some things in my life ;-)


i havent cracked a bottle of nutes in almost two months (this whole run) yay me. amended soil FTW! they are as green, healthy and happy as any plants i have ever grown. and let me make something clear, i have NO qualms with feeding them...if they need it. but until them, i will be adding just water through harvest.


only exceptions will be three (3) EWC/Sucanat teas on day 25/35/45.


this is all i have ever wanted. a simple, dumb, effective organic grow. this soil is allowing me to do this.


im getting more and more excited everytime i crack the tent. one more week i will be cleaning em up and lollipoping. haha, these dtrains look sooo good, the connie chung is really pulling through and the bluewidow is budding so fast. def off to a hot start but one of the dtrains is giving her a run for the money...


i hope you can feel my excitement guys?!

Your origonal PH problem looks just like the one I am encountering. Turned out my RODI water was ~6, remineralized ~6.4 ran through soil acidic tannins striped water to around 6 again.

My solution is to start using my aquaria water that is Chem free PH of 7.6 and will have bioavailable nitrogen and maybe if I am lucky silica from the 300 lbs of black beauty sand. I know sand doesnt leach silica unless its ground but there's got to be some kind of breakdown. Edit: looked up manufacturer specs and listed less than 1% free silica... : /

But anyhow Looking great dude, subbing.

Looking great man! So you feeling like you've got your blumats dialed in ah? Ive been wanting to try those, as with my scrogs, i dont take my plants out of their tents anyway. my problem is my tap water comes out at almost 8, so i have to add apple cider vinegar to bring it down to 6.5. not sure how id do that on a larger scale... if the ph would stay stable, or would i have to keep adjusting it... even was scheming how i could tape into a water source at the house, and have an auto float rig that would keep the res full... but again the ph. Just seemed like something i wasnt ready to dive into...

Oriah.....I had the same issue with my tap was at 8.2, bought a sediment filter at HD for $39 hooked it up in the basement before my outside spigot and now got 6.8 all day. Sub just did the same thing when he moved and worked great for him too. Give that a try
