Yesterday I topped dressed with worm castings,4-4-4 All Purpose, and 2-8-4 Power Bloom in preparation for the flip to 12/12 light schedule.
Today, after defoliation, bending, and weaving the stems through the trellis, the light is now 24 inches from the canopy at 70% power resulting in a ppfd ~550 at the canopy.
The 2 big plants are drinking at least 2L/day now. Giving them a liter at lights on and another liter midday with no runoff.
Between the LED and the coco based medium, I continue to struggle with an apparent cal-mag deficiency which is why I've been adding Cal-Mag Plus to the water with a PH between 5.8 & 6.4. Will restart foliar feeding tonight in the hopes that it clears up before the start of the flowering phase.
I've been decreasing the light period by an hour/day over the past 5 days. Tomorrow will be the first day of 12/12. It's been a long veg period due to the issues with bugs and my killing two of the original plants with, but I need to initiate flower if I have any hope of chopping these plants before the end of August. Wish me luck!
Stress at the top of the canopy. Is this heat stress, light burn, or a combo? Something else?
Temp in the tent hit 92.5 F at one point, but it's been high 80's in the tent and the leaf surface temp's have been low 80's.
Light was 14 inches at one point but now 24 inches
Looking at your diary your growing in coco and been using very little nutrients. Also your ph is always at 6.5 which is at the high end for coco. If you get your ph closer to 6 and feed some blooming nutrients and cal mag she should bounce back. Try feeding a Ec of 1.2 or 1.4 and make sure you get run off. Go feed, let top inch dry, water, let top inch dry and repeat.
Hey Buddy by the looks of those leaves you might have a deficiency or pest problem going on. Do you know what's been causing it or have you been spraying anything on them. Just trying to help out, Peace & Happy Growing ๐
@QueenOG, spider mites and/or thrips. Mustโve been some larvae in the compost I used in my medium. Have introduced some pest control measures. Hope to keep them in check.
๐ Nice work, looks great !!! I wish you good results !!! See my reports and leave your opinion in the comments ๐ I'll be glad to see you again ๐
