👉Day 1:
Brand new grow! Blue Dream from Strawberry Fields - Pueblo Central.
This time all the same strain from all the same company which will help with my timing issues choosing when to flower, and not having to feed different.
I will also feed every other with plain water between and be more sensitive to dialing it back when I see nute burn. I will pay more attention to the smell of the tent, and I am considering nuke'em by flying skull for proactive treatment.
I'm ready to knock it out of the park this time.
👉Day 2:
Repotted to 1gal cloth pots and fed PHed (7.0) water with a little cal-mag (.36 EC) till runoff.
👉Day 3:
Set light to 3ft and 30%
👉Day 4:
Set light to 40%
👉Day 5:
Fed PHed (6.9) water with 2ml/g cal-mag (.44 EC) till runoff
👉Day 7:
Proactively sprayed H202 3%
Environment Summary:
Temp: High 78 Low 67 Avg 75
RH: High 83 Low 51 Avg 61
👉Day 8:
Checked the plants over, the white powder I believe are just hard water from being foliar fed as a clone (I got it this way). The tiny white spots though do worry me that the past disease (rust) is back despite thorough cleaning of the tent (all surfaces wiped with clorox wipes). I sprayed with H202 3% to be on the safe side and ordered cold pressed neem oil.
👉Day 9:
Treated the plants with neem oil (7.5 ml oil 2.5 ml soap 16 oz water)
Fed all until runoff, about .3 gal

👉Day 18:
Getting crinkled leaves with brown splotches which I'm pretty sure is phosphorus deficiency. I'm pretty sure this is from the revegging I'm seeing, the clones are asking for phosphorus they shouldn't need yet. I'll have to give them some bloom nutes till they sort themselves out.

Having some issues with overwatering, so we let the big girl (number 2) dry pretty good before feeding again. Going to make sure things get more dry before feeding.
Could be also some phosphorus/potassium toxicity, so we dropped Hydroplex out for the next couple weeks.
Added AC to my environment, not setup optimally yet, but able to push lights to 90%. Been able to keep the humidity lower now, average 43%

Got the new second level trellis setup. Cleared out some tiny branches and dead leaves.
Things have been going well with the light at 95% now that I have AC
Changed to Treating with Nuke 'em and Spread Coat by Flying Skull instead of Neem oil and will continue once a week until end of the grow.
The nitrogen deficiency seems to be abating with the added grow nutes.

I'm starting to believe the issue is salts buildup not lack of nitrogen. The enzyme komplete should have protected against that. Going to try and flush it out.

Absolutely gutted to have issues again and so close to harvest AGAIN.
👉Day 123
Trying a hail Mary attempt to fix what I believe is salt buildup/PH issues with the soil.
Fed each plant 5 gallons of RO water with only cal-mag and enzyme komplete PHed to 8 as the runoff is coming out at 5.5
BD 1 final runoff PH 6.7
BD 2 final runoff PH 6.7
BD 3 final runoff PH 6.8
BD 4 final runoff PH 6.8
Decided to just continue the flush from the hail Mary flush last week, which means flush from day 123 - day 137. I'll give them the chop in 10 more days.
From here out only feeding PHed water with Cal-Mag.

This time to the best of my knowledge we had salts buildup and nutrient lockout issues. Frustratingly the enzyme product "Enzyme Komplete" was supposed to prevent salts buildup, but obviously it was not so. I've heard it said that Botanicare can have salts buildup issues, and I can confirm, I don't think I would use it again without alternating feeding with plain water.
The end result here is that plants 1,3, and 4 are low in resin/THC. They aren't terrible but aren't great either, mid-shelf at best. Thankfully plant 2 was not only the biggest but least affected and managed to end up rather decent, borderline upper shelf.
Next grow I'm going to simplify by using General Hydroponics flora grow, bloom, and micro following a chart off growweedeasy, 4 nutrients (counting cal-mag) total sure will be nice compared to the 8 I was using this grow. Additionally it will be an auto-flower grow which will limit the time for things to go wrong, lol.
@Odin9, I tend to go 36 inches and 50% output for new clones. 26 inches and 50% output for early veg. 26 inches and 80% for late veg/flower.
I don't have AC in my lung room and it's summer so I haven't been able to pass 80% without my tent getting too hot. I have heard people run this at 90% and even 100% in flower but it's just too hot for my setup.
