So talk about your soul leaving your body!!!
Nice day today, pretty warm (For this region at this part of the year...sunny and about 18C)...made the grow room a bit balmier than normal...and then Ordiget Digital timer!!! F**K this thing!!! Bought from the Baldy Billionaire!!! Checked everything this morning before I went to work, all was great. By the time I get in, lights were out so couldn't see anything (I like them in full darkness, even in veg). Built the young lads bike I got him for his b'day, had him cut the lawn while I built it...had my cold jugs of water in the grow area warming up for tonight's feed change and then I open the tent....carnage!!! Everything wilted apart from the 1 root in plant (Using a Wilma but last week I drilled out some holes for roots to drop into the res)!!! Look at the timer and it had fully reset...2nd time this thing has done that!!! after a week, it seems to wipe the clock and the timers!!! About to raise hell on Amazon.
Luckily I'm running 6/2 so at least dark periods not too long so caught this relatively quickly. Threw the pump on and got 15 mins of juice into them...then done a full res dump and change (Took a good hour and a half as I like trying to rinse out any auld shite from it and pump it out a few times). Water was still a bit cool (14-15C) but was finished bang on time for their feeding so thought I better get these some fresh stuff in! Thank Little baby Jesus, 8lb 6oz they started stiffening up their stems from the 1st and 2nd blast of juice. Hit them with a Nitrozyme foliar and they started sucking that up and getting perky. So, got the SCROG net on them...another disappointment. Thought it was a 64 space net but turns out to be only 32 (Checked the website again where I got it from and says defs 64 spaces) so a bit hot about that.
So, finally, was going to defoliate a bit too but after the drying out they got, don't think the stress is worth it tonight so will probs strip them back a bit tomorrow night but at least their drinking so at least I have a crop still!!! Back to the mechanical timer and lesson learned! Also need to see what I can do about getting a 64 space net for next week as have a few growth nodes and dont think 32 will be enough!
Anyway, rant over...happy growing all!!! :)
@homerjgangia, Cheers buddy, much appreciated. Now I have finally added their story, I appreciate them more. I killed these at seedling stage...barely even...only had their head out the sponge and I dried them out!!!! Surprised they bounced back. In all fairness, i have to put it down to the John Innes #1! they were sitting with the weeist 1st leaves you've ever seen for like 7 days...looked dead and then bang...fattest plants in the grow. Just looked at the 2 Strawberry Lemonades I have out there too (they are ill looking due to root issues) as opposed to the 2 wedding cakes I have kept as clone reserves and the wedding cakes matching the growth speed of the Pink Kushes which when just in root riots stalled like fuck! thinking of pulling the over brown, slow growing SL for some cake!! :D
@GMSgrows, Much appreciated buddy...had a hellish start with atrocious humidity giving the look of every possibly deficiency, Root Riots drying out, the works...if it could go wrong it did go wrong (That's why there so many missing weeks...too busy fixing each of my f**k ups!!!). Surprised I got this far...have to say though, the Botanicare Kind is a decent wee regimen and using the same recipe I pre-built when I was last talking to you 3 months before starting this grow and its bang on!!!
That truly confused me. I wes thinking, did he post these upsiude diown? Then i realised he was hanging them, then i thought "but aren't you meant to do it in dartkness, then i realised you need light to take a photo! duh!
** Update ** - trying a flush. Not pure tap water but close. Added 60ml pure blend tea, 50ml active boost, 50ml fulvic and 50ml Sensizym to a 50L tank. Probs add 5ml ATA Clean just to start to cleaning process too. Last days now!!! :)
Edit - Added PK Warrior in the end, but very little compared to recommended...added at 0.2ml/L as opposed to the 0.5-1ml/L (1ml/L usually used the 1st week [week 4] and then 0.5 for the following 3 weeks).
