I did think the PPM was a little low as well. But I believe that is for hydro? So might be different with the soil component.
I read through a thread that @latewood posted. It is basically a spin off of the Lucas method. It was for use in hydro but I imagine the similar effect should work in soil. He runs a 1-1-1 mix for veg and then starts cutting back on grow and micro and upping the bloom so you finish at 0-1-2.
Mine just started there first day of 10 - 14 and push a little extra nutrients but since I never feed full strength that is about what it will go to @Ray4x
Girls seem to be loving the LST.
Shirley hasnât pushed too much new growth up to the top where I fimmed her- but she has tons of new undergrowth. And all of the new undergrowth is also turning up to the light and starting new leaves too.
Bobbi has tons of growth up where I fimmed her and it looks like I have 4 tops coming in! Not nearly as much growth underneath yet.
Wanda was topped and it looks like the 2 new tops are getting ready to grow. She has a nice flat canopy and really opening up to the light.
I tried something new to include this all on one picture. Let me know if itâs sucks haha.

7/10 First Feeding
Decided to give the girls their first dose of GH Flora nutes yesterday. My PH was a low on runoff so I will need to up it for the next time.
4ml micro 5ml grow and 1ml bloom per gallon.
Shirley:
7.2 and 615 ppm in - 6.3 and 1830 ppm out
Bobbi
7.4 and 650 ppm in - 6.35 at 2070 ppm out
Wanda
7.25 and 650 ppm in - 6.1 out at 2010 ppm out
Checked on them this morning and they seem to be responding well to the feeding.

Yep yep yep I always rush and check after the first couple feedings always looking for burn . They are gobbling up nutes rite now . I have even gone to a feed feed water schedule and there is no burn at all
This means that you are fine @Ray4x, but I think you need to go a little higher whit that pH range⌠6.5 - - >6.8
That is a good idea⌠Feed feed water⌠Thx @Oldstoner
Yeah I pHâd the water to about 7.2 the first time. But I think I need it to be up to like 7.6-7.8.
7/13 Feeding Day
So came back from my work trip and the girls look great! Looks like a little bit of heat stress because the wife didnât run the AC. But all in all real good growth since their first feeding. Today I did the base nutrients and also added in diamond nectar and calimag. I did some more LST before I left and they are already turned up and reaching more so I am going to do some hardcore LST tomorrow and really open them up. I bought all the materials for the SCROG- just need to put it together. Iâll post pictures tomorrow.
Shirley:
7.85 at 740 ppm in
6.5 at 1880 ppm out
Bobbi:
7.8 at 780 ppm in
6.45 at 1870 ppm out
Wanda:
7.8 at 760 ppm in
6.4 at 1980 ppm out
Celine:
Added some fresh soil to top of cup and watered

@Ray4x I wonder what these girls are haha but man they look good man , canât wait to see them flower
They are looking good.
Lookingbgreat my friend keep up the good work
I just started a new plant- itâs a White Widow.
I asked my wife if there is any famous white woman whoâs husband died recently.
She told me Celine Dion- hence Celine came into existence haha
@bob31 @Countryboyjvd1971 @Hogmaster
Hey so I was do some maintainence on the girls and when I went to top one of the girls I noticed what looks like pisitils? But it might just be new growth sites⌠since this is my first grow I really donât know what pistils look like lol.
I donât know what strain these are- I was assuming they are not autos but if these are pistils then it would change things. Looking for you expert opinions.
Looks like you are about to flower my friend
How old are they again ? Since they popped ?
