Gorilla Girl, Sweet Amnesia Haze, TPF1FV

Day 13. There was yellowing and brown spots on the Amnesia's first leaves and the next leaves up were starting to be affected so i raised the lamp an inch to 25". I think this may have been caused by leaving them 3 days between feeds as the plants got bigger, or maybe the sudden rise in temps when I turned my extraction down. I also thought about the two feeds I'd given them at PH 6 and 6.1 on days 8 and 11 so I raised the PH back to 6.3 and also upped the feed a bit the next time I fed them. Temps were sitting at 28C at the pots, roots 27 and RH 33%. Day 14. I mixed 5L of feed in the bucket. Background EC 0.45 6ml Magnifical to 0.6 10ml root stim 0.6 2ml of micro + 2ml grow to 0.84 1ml down and dirty to PH 6.3 I left it for half hour and had to re adjust the PH with another 0.8ml D and D Final EC 0.84 PH 6.3 I ran 500ml through each and run off was around 0.9 for them all, 0.91 collectively. Day 15. Temps 28C Roots 27C RH 32% Day 17. All I did was check the nutes in my bucket. EC had risen to 0.89 and PH to 7.1 so In binned the mix. Tent temps had been 21-27C for the 24hr cycle, roots 21-26 and RH 42-56%. Day 18. Temps 19-27C, roots 21-26, RH 39-49%. I mixed a fresh 5L batch of nutes but this time replaced the IN root stim with VeloKelp. I had a bit left in a bottle so thought I'd try that and see if the PH holds more stable. Background EC 0.5 Magnifical to 0.6 1.5ml of Mic, Gr and VK to 0.8 PH was 6.7 I added 0.75ml down and dirty to PH 6.3 and left this for half hour. PH was 6.9 so added a further 1ml D and D to PH 6.3 Gave them 300ml each with a run off about 100ml and that came out at EC 0.93 The nodes were stretching so I lowered the lamp from 45" to 40" above the tallest plant, the TP. I then topped them at the 4th node. The TP was just starting it's 6th node so was easy, but the 5th nodes on the GG and SAH were only just giving me enough main stem above the 4th to top, so it was tight. What I do in this situation is slide a plastic plant marker carefully down one side between the fresh shoot and main stem. Then being more careful I place a clean sharp stanley blade down the other side and press the stem against the plant marker to get a nice clean cut without damaging the fresh new shoots. Day 19. The girls were fine and showing no signs of shock. Day 20. Temps 19-25C, roots 21-24, RH 39-49% The last mix wasn't very PH stable and carried on rising after the 2nd adjustment so I mixed another 5L batch. Background EC 0.5 3.5ml MC to 0.6 1.5ml VK,Mic,Gr to 0.8 5 drops of PH down to PH 5.9 So I tried phosphoric acid this time, left it 50 mins and it still rose to 6.3 so fed the plants 300ml each and the run off was 0.95 EC. Day 21. Temps 19-24C, roots 21-23, RH 40-52%.
