29th March Monday
Had to defoliate the 4 main palm leaves as they were so big, blocking all the light to other areas
Also both plants were topped to create more yield later.
I will probably top again at some point. Roots are all white and growing nicely
11 Litres per tank
11ml Silicon
50ml of the IONIC GROW - with 20ml to follow on Thursday.
P.H 5.5
Lights now set at 50% but pulled a little higher to 23cm above canopy
Trying to keep temp around 26c and Humidity around 67%, dropping this lower each week
1st April Thursday
20ml more GROW added (takes total week feed to 70ml: 77ml would be 100% recommended dose)
p.H now at 6
Little more defoliation as you can see from the pics - starting to bush up nicely
you wanna raise your lights...............thats why your plants are not growing fast....
7 inches distance is great for late stage of flower............but not for veg
@Bumhammer,my lights say same................eventually they gonna be at 7 inches but not till 4 week of flower
you should be able to see rapid growth now............
@grzesiekkuzniak, thanks mate - is that to make them kind of stretch up for it?
Edit - Just raised them up to about 45cm
The Migro Aray lights are optimal at 16cm apparently, but as you say thats probably aimed at the flowering stage
@GODSGIFT_2005_JM,
Nice one.. Its starting to form the flower sites so will be interesting to see what it produces in a few weeks time.
The DWC method is working very nicely so far
