Looking good! Got some pistils coming in already as of a day or two ago so she’s on track for flowering. I’m trying to keep everything under the screen trimmed up minus leaving some fan leaves to catch any missed light. I’m having to tuck her every day it seems now.
Ran into a problem with my pH pen, it kept telling me my pH was dropping to 4.5 every morning so naturally I kept correcting it for a day or two then I started wondering… checked pH, corrected… then checked again in TWO HOURS and it was all the way back down so obviously something wasn’t right. Turned out to be my pen. I have two but for quick checks I use my cheapie and every other day I use my BlueLab. Needless to say, my cheapie is no longer with us. Luckily, I didn’t do much of anything by bringing the pH up too high for a day or so and changed res immediately after I caught the problem. This is why I love hydro
Full res change last night… the girls kept sucking down the nutes I’ve been adding the past so I upped to 1000ppm and upping again next week probably. I’m hoping the bottom left will stretch up within the next week or so, I’ve got a beautiful branch down there about 3 inches away from hitting the screen and I’d hate to give her the chop.
On another note, I’m finally building my RDWC in my 5x5 and dropping two ILGM Cherry Pies tonight. All that’s left is to run the hose for the pump and silicone around the seals. I do need another water chiller but I’ll have to wait until I get the Benjamins.
When is it okay to stop tucking? After giving nutes on Sunday, they’ve exploded with more pistils and are about 1-2 inches above the screen. I’m tucking to fill in some empty areas right now and allow one or two branches to come through.
Vertical growth is starting to slow a little but still stretching so I’m still tucking Changed out their water last night and upped nutes another 200 from 950 to 1150. So far they are eating it up! I can’t wait until they’re REALLY budding
Seeing some discoloration here this morning… Can anyone tell me what is going on? I’ve also had some lower leaves turning yellow with some big brown spots, dropping and coming off. They were under the screen so I was thinking lack of light, but now I’m not so sure.
Im sure its something minor that will be can be resolved quickly but im no hydro grower so i will let the more experienced answer shortly, good luck btw grow looks stunning, everthing will be alright don’t worry
Thanks, I tend to be very observant and as soon as I see something I consult the forums first until I get a little more experience at eyeballing these things. Easier to correct a problem if you catch it in the beginning and with these babies in flowering, I really don’t want to risk muffing it up.
:)
but after that I’m giving it a try!
