Sorry for the late updates but here we go.
During veg pH was up and down. I think that's why there's crazy calmag deficiency. I had some issues with my filter. Found out the hard way when the filter is done. Temps were really high and the closet was loud. New filter fixed that.
Fast forward to today. Defoliated all the dying leaves and popcorn buds. Anything not getting direct light got pulled. I was able to lower the scrog canopy quite a bit. I ditched the twine for some Paracord which worked out really well. I also added some screw hooks to the topside of the rez. That ended up coming in hand because I was able to route growing stems under the hooks enabling me to control the canopy.
The smell is strong with this one!
Yo darkmanx. There are two things you can improve.
First try to lower your res temperature between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 69°F).
Lower your solution strength to 1.4EC (700PPM), what you are seeing is potassium (K) toxicity, which locks out many other elements. Since you are using a LED bulb, there's no point in using a too strong nute solution.
Defolation and some more lst. Still dealing with the leaves. Not sure if it's the light or pH or Nutes. Kinda stumped. The smell is off the chain. So loud I almost can't contain it.
Hey fellow growers. I think I've finally got things cleared up and doing good. Defoliated a little bit today. Also did a full to lid flush with RO and Florakleen( I did not pH because I feel adding more parts to the solution defeats the purpose of "flush". I've read forms of people going back and forth about it and here's my thoughts...nutrient uptake occurs best between 5.5 and 6.5 right. My theory is we aren't "feeding" we are "flushing". Final flush however I will use pH'd RO.
Final run off pH was 6.2 and a whopping 11ppm. That being said I hope if I did have any build up it's all gone now. Went ahead a stuck with full strength nutes but added about a quart extra of tap water.
My softened filtered tap water has 127ppm(filter could be changed). Buds are fattening up and the smell is a kick in the face. Super dank and it only gets better from here.
Since this ends week 7 I'm guessing 4 more weeks until harvest. But that's like counting stars because this is only my third grow.
Contemplating on starting a flush but I really don't know. Some look like they are ready and others don't. I hate this part. Wait wait wait. But hey there's a bright side. Harvest is soon approaching.
Rez change today. Just calmag and sugar daddy for a few days. Then start flush next week sometime unless I hear differently.
Officially day 70 still no Amber but she's dense and smells great. pH is steady and ppms are stable. Not much else to do but wait. Been flushing for 5 days and as soon as I see Amber I'll throw in florakleen for two days and chop. Stay tuned
Not a pro here by any means. This was my 3rd grow in this SuperBox and I'm still trying to get the hang of it. I feel maybe too many Lumens causing dry buds.
I dried the buds for a week in the box hanging from the top. Inside I had two fans blowing opposite directions creating turbulence and a humidifier set to the humidity I required. Exhaust fan ran on low-med in order to refresh intake air. Temps were 69-72F and 59-68%RH. Bids weren't dense enough to worry too much about mold or mildew.
All in all this grow turned out much better than my last two and that's all I can ask for. Stealth growing changes the game a bit.
Dinafems grow description was right on. I think unharvested at day 75 or so. Even then I didn't have a scope for the trichs. Great support from dinafem.
@BeefWellingtons, I use a pump with two double A batteries. If you look at my Blueberry 420 grow I have more photos of the entire setup. And first week of this grow you can see the pump in action.
Thanks for stopping by. I ended up getting a cool probe to keep the nutes cool and in turn less heat build up. I then switched to LED which dropped temps drastically.
nice harvest!! I will harvest my first stealth grow this week and second part next week, already have one plant growing to replace them...only room for one plant in that box, lol. I am going to experiment with topping the auto this time to keep her shorter and fatter. You have been one of my top inspirations as we have the same growbox.
Now that's a crazy looking root zone and we all know the key to a healthy plant is all in the roots :)
Happy healthy roots = Healthy plant ;)
The yellowing I do think is down to slight over feeding and possibly a bit of heat burn :)
Ph was a little high for hydro. Typically you want your ph at 5.8-6.0 ;)
What's your e.c of your feed like my friend?
All the best

@Darkmanx, And by the look of things it really helped and good call on feeding just water for those final day,s. The grow is now over and another successful Dinafem harvest on the grow diary platform :) After that plane water flush you should have some very pure, clean and tasty end product :)
Enjoy that Dinafem goodness is well deserved and needed after the hard work you put in :)
All the best

@DinafemSeeds,that's great to hear. Couple days ago I added calmag and loaded up with sugardaddy. It's a two day load so I'll be feeding pH'd RO from here on out. Thanks again.
@Darkmanx,Correct my friend! Bubba kush and auto bubba kush can be very fussy feeding strains :)
Your ppm was a little high for this strain typically I like to stay below 1200ppm :)
I would start that flush mate to get those nutrients out of the flowers which will give you a nice clean and pure end product :)
Finish line is approaching fast ;)
All the best
Mark..
