Right on, thanks. I did move the light up to 20 inches off the top.
Even during fruiting mode, I do two 2-liter bottles every three days. That seems to work perfectly.
Since I started using these screw on cones that you punch a couple holes in (below the 2" depth line), I use a push pin. Two holes on opposing sides works well.
I have eradicated the fungus gnats completely. VICTORY!
Biz, Tip me off to the importance of âPPMâ. I did get a decent meter, but why is the runoff PPM so critical? Seems like more trouble than itâs worth. With the straining and all. - Thanks, Oz

It was impressed upon me to check ppm runoff to assess status of soil re. both ph and nute contents. As you know bro, Iâm so new to this I donât really know what to do with this information. I guess Iâll reference it when/if problems arise, so far so good!
Itâs time grower, Barney Farms Pineapple Chunk grow update.
Day 13 (March 8th) of flower, no specific issues noted. Seemingly decent bud development starting.
Monday 3/5, fed nutes; FF big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom and cal/mag (ph Ro water 6.2, 1040 ppm) runoff- ph 6.3, 1150ppm
Total water 1.5 liter each girl
Tues- lolipopped both girl, adjusted some LST branches
Thursday (today) RO water, ph 5.6
Runoff- ph 5.5 ppm 444(too low???)
1.5 liter each girl
See pix for condition. I donât see and obvious problems.
Welcome all comments, advice, suggestions or criticisms. Thanks in advance

They look great!
I agree. Looking good.
Phewww, thatâs what I was hoping to hear! LOL
They look beautiful, but you might want to keep an eye on that PH, donât let it drop too low. Maybe Ph your nutes just a tad higher.
Just found this problem area. Also a few brown tips! Nute burn? Ph issues?
Advice please and thank you. Appreciated!
@Countryboyjvd1971 @MattyBear @raustin @Rugar89 @dbrn32
Well, i was a little worried about that Ph. I think you should try and get it up to 6.5. Your runoff at 5.5 is just way too low for me.
I concur with the fine people above
Thank you all!!!
Excellent looking plantâs you have there @bizzyboy class sort your Ph mate and youâll be all set
Pretty ainât they!
Hereâs my five Purple Haze at fourth week flowering.
Will check the trichomes later today with my mic at X60.
Going to get some flushing nutes on Amazon, and finish with a little molasses.
Thinking a hint of that will be real nice.
Trichomes still clear.
Hey Bro,
What do you think about light distance during flowering? I got big buds 8 to 10 inches above the canopy, and I am wondering if they want more light. I got two 600W and one 400W 24 inches off the top of the canopy. If I can boost my yield, Iâll bring them down a few inches. Thoughts? Anyone?
Bueller?
Thatâs the strain I grew my first grow. They do look like pineapples at a point in the flowering.
Loved them. Easy grow. Only one small problem, and I think it was PH. First lesson in real growing!
If they look like theyâll take more light, then you can lower fixture some. I like to give them about 5 days or so in between increases of light intensity. So if you lower it, go a couple inches and wait at least that long to make sure plants donât get pissed before lowering it anymore. And make sure you donât lower it so much that your light footprint doesnât get too small.
Alright then, s-low goes it!
