First week of flower and the girls are looking pretty good. Looks like I'm working with another beast and a bit of a runt.
The Scotian Gold has exploded and is really broadening her horizons on her side of the tent. Super vigorous growth as she begins the stretch. I did a bit of defoliation earlier in the week - trimmed away some lower branches and plucked a bunch of inner leaves blocking bud sites.
The Pineapple Skunk is going to need a boost to get her tops even with the Scotian Gold. A bucket raising is imminent. She had a little spotting on some of her leaves but I'm hoping the addition of bloom nutes last week will help take care of that. She's looking o.k. otherwise but no where near the size of her tent mate.
It's been a moist and muggy summer and humidity levels are typically soaring during my summer grows (65%+) so I finally broke down and bought a dehumidifier. What a difference maker! So far, a very worthwhile investment.
Until next week. Thanks for tuning in โ๏ธ
@Oozle, So far, I really like the Remo nutes. I find the EC readings are little lower and PH more stable vs. comparable quantities of the GH nutes. I used Diamond Nectar before which I suppose serves similar purpose as the velokelp. Hopefully, they respond as well to the flowering nutes!
@StunFlower, The natures candy has carbs in it. I've heard carbs can cause the bad bacteria to go crazy, but I've seen people use molasses in DWC and not have problems. So maybe try it in 1 reservoir and see what happens lol. Also, I am not sure there is the rhizosphere needed in DWC to breakdown and process those carbs. I use enough stuff in my reservoirs, so I look for any excuse to not add more lol.
I think the velokelp is a lot like the liquid karma I use. I love using kelp, but I found it makes the reservoirs a little brown and funky, so I try to use a few days before I plan to change my reservoir and mainly in flower as kelp is supposed to help make stinkier buds.
Don't let my experiences stop you from trying those products.. maybe I was using them wrong or had something else out of whack in my grow room. Definitely interested to see how your plants look if you use them.
@Oozle, Thanks! I thought I recalled you mentioning something about something in their product line that was problematic in DWC - can you refresh my memory? I'm not sure if it was the Velokelp or something else. ๐ค
@CannaScuzzyB, Hey pal! Great to hear from you. I can only assume things are starting to pop in your gardens again ๐ I've been doing fine - keeping busy; the summer flew by! I hope things are well with you!
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
