OK, so im just working on an update now. To be honest the girls are looking a little under the weather at the mo! I have managed to figure out why though....im pretty sure anyway. So the line of nutes im using is obviously called hydrosol by hydrocrop and it comes in two big pounches full of crystaline minerals. I then have to dilue this at a ratio of 1:10. So I do a litre at a time by dissolving 100g of the salt nutrient powder into 1L of water. I then decant it into 1L plastic bottles I have left over from making my vape fluid. I did use my label maker to mark the Hydrosol A but I thought I knew which was which. Anyway, at some point 0- I think most likely at my last feeding, I was distracted and I am pretty sure I got them the wrong way round! I therefore added more N than I wanted and way less P and K. Luckily it was at a time where the ratio of A to B was faaaiiirrly evenish - thats a scientific term by the way,! ha. Anyway, it yellowed out the girls a bit but not to the point of no return by any means. I have one plant of both the OG and the Blueberry that are massive and one of each that are pretty regular sized. I will be pulling the smaller plants out today, in order to photograph the flowering girls and also to be able to sneak into the tent and lollipop everything. Maybe a little late but better late than never IN MY OPINION. OK, i'm going to go do that and take some photos so that I can compare the colour they are now with how they are in a weeks time. I really hope that was why they've started yellowing out - mean, iv been following the companies cannabis specific feed chart as well as checking my EC. Its always slightly lower than what the chart suggests it should be, however, I spent probably a tenner maximum on the TDS probe a looooooong time ago, had no idea how to use it so chucked it in a drawer. I got it out again at the beginning of this round, spoecifically because I had some nutrition issues last time I used this hydrosol as well but they hadn't made the cannabis specific feed chart at the time so I was kind of half following the tomato chart as well as assuming it worked the same way that the GHE line did. It doesn't work like that! Anyway, thats why I figured I would give it another go. Its SO much cheaper than buying and shipping a load of water around spo I do hope I can make it work. I would like to see if I can make it a whole round with the other plants using only dry amendments and so far has gone spot on, however, they are just started to throw out pistols and I have a feeling they are going to run out of nutrition mid flower - in fact, I am going to add some top dressings on them now so the bone meal and fish blood and bone will have time to solubilise and get broken down into a plant available form. If I do them now while I pull them out, I MAY have a chance at getting them through with water only. It would make refilling the res SO much easier for sure. We will see. I am also still intending to buy those SIP bucket inserts for the pots im using the drippers on atm - the plan would be to insert them into my large pots and set a dripper to go for however long it takes to fill the bottom reservoirs every time they start running out. I would insert them and get the plants going by manually watering and calculating the number of days between waterings. I would then but the dripper in a normal bucket , measure how much water the res at the bottom of the SIP takes, then run the dripper into the bucket and time how long it takes to fill up the same amount of water as the SIP container holds. I then set the timer on the dripper to run every, lets say 4 days and lets just say it takes 5 mins to pump the amount of water the buckets take. I did grab the idea from the dude grows shows but he does it slightly differently using a float valve and a garden tap timer. I dont know if it would be as efficient as the autopots - probably not- but i guess we will see! I just threw in one quick iphone shot of the two blueberry plants. You can see the smaller on and then the bigger one behind it. Will be back with better photos later... UPDATE Well i'm back and my oh my did they need some defoliation for sure. I hadn't cleared it out and been in to trim in ages so I got in there and lollipopped goog. Its really strange, they must be two different phenotypes of each plant because one is huge and one is small and unfortunately I snapped one of the main colas on the small one. It seems to be surviving its been like that for a week or two now so I dunno we will see. Sorry if quiter a few of the photos are over exposed, I didnt take all that muvch care to be honest as iu have a bad back at the moment. I definitely in the wrong game for a bad back! oh well, the results help!

How do people here monitor their grows? I have temp and humidity controllers that hookup to wifi so I can control them away from home but sometimes the reading is unexpected and I want to see so I just bought one of them wifi cameras that tilt and pan and have night vision :)

Hi there RabidReject, yeah man, congrats on the cool set up, i've got much the same but with commercial-grade controllers that have all these lasers and shit lmfao. Do they work? kinda. Basically what happens is the sensors can get foggy due to the humidity and the in soil sensors get a similar issue which can lead to weirrd readings. so you want to wipe them down as often as possible... That's just how it is, even with the 0 dollar controllers it's the same story. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I honestly don't monitor outside of a couple of cheap temp / RH gauges. With an organic soil and water only grow I don't have to fight as hard with things. I used to fight like hell with temp and RH and then I moved the tents to my basement. Temps stay pretty steady and don't fluctuate as much there. So, I started with cameras and fancy stuff, but simplified the grow to water only and timers for lights so that if I am unexpectedly gone for 48 hrs, I know the worst that is gonna happen is they might be a bit thirsty.

I’m surprised your plants are yellowing using the Hydrocrop nutrients. I have used them for 3 years, growing tomatoes semi commercially, and always found them to be excellent. Your diary says your pH is 6.5 …That could be where your problem is (assuming your growing environment is okay). To avoid deficiencies using mineral nutrients in hydro / inert media, the feed pH needs to be kept between 5.5 and 6.4.

Ok so I popped on the Mars hydro FC-E 3000. I went for it regardless of the fact their customer service is shocking, to the point they don’t even answer my questions, let alone any hopes of getting sponsored! I will be making a review video regardless and will definitely be including the fact their customer service is shit. The thing is I couldn’t find any light putting out even close to the ppf/m2/s for a similar price point. Also iv been using a couple of their ts series lamps for a while now so I know they are pretty durable now they sent using blurple and fans and shit. They are a thousand times better than they used to be in the old blurple times but I wish they would reply to questions. All I wanted to know was if the tsl-2000 and the fc-e 3000 would daisy chain together even though they are different models…oh well, we will see won’t we! I will post the review bud here for sure. I’m starting to make a video of this grow anyway so improve my video making skills so it will get included in that anyway for obvious reasons

@Ezzjaybruh,yeah man in combo with my tsl-2000 it’s great! Think they are sending me a ts-1000 to test soon too which I’m pretty gassed aboit

@CRiSPrGrow,yeh VPD charts are always useful. I’m in a moderately hard water area also. Glad to hear it’s buffered also. I am finding it a lot easier to actually change the ph and keep it at a certain level now I’m using more than 10l in the res. Way easier with the more water you have! I guess I’ll start mixing 40l at a time instead of 10 or twenty now I’m at the end and the ratio of A to B won’t change that much at the end of flower. EDIT- just clocked I replied to the wrong guy haha I thought it was odd my nutrient guy talking about VPD!

@CRiSPrGrow, oh mate iv been spying the pulse products for years now. simply cant justify it just to add a single point VPD monitor tho! especially as im not sealed or using CO2. They look ace tho! i would REALLY love a Niwa controller too but they only have them with US plugs. so annoying!

Glad you got it sorted. Hydrocrop's nutrients are buffered to prevent pH swings, so you should find they remain pretty stable once the correct pH value is set. I'm in a moderately hard water area and I find the feed stays within range.

@Faroutman,yeah that’s useful to know. I do find it’s def easier to stabilise ph now I’m using a decent sized res

@Faroutman,yeh I believe that is what It was to be honest. As I say iv just been relying on microbes to buffer but I think I was asking way too much of them! It is getting back to normal now. I’m pretty certain I just mixed up the A and B bottles and it threw them out slightly. That in addition to a high PH value. Iv started ph’ing my water now. Ta!

Hey I must admit I came gone after a few days away and the plants are looking a little scraggy. Iv started LST’ing them and tidying up their sexy long legs. I also gave them some microbes and molasses, it tends to fix them up. I’m just a little worried about the scraggy new growth. I guess I’ll have to just monitor them….I am a little concerned though I must admit. Will post some photos later, hopefully someone can help!

I need people's help! I am thinking of buying a mars hydro FC-E 3000. I dont particularly like to keep supporting them as they dont even respond to my emails asking questions....but to be honest I am on a budget and it seems to be the only light of its type for that type of money. The other one I was looking at was a lumatek LED. Im pretty sure its the lowest power light they do and its 200w but has like half the amount of PPF/s. I do trust their data a lot more than the Mars Hydro data, they have proven to fudge their data to improve stats lots bu8t then they do also produce light a lot cheaoer than competitors and tbh the bud that I got from the TSL-2000 is the nicest iv grown so far. hmmmmm I dont know what to do. I was going to just get another tsl-2000 nd put it alongside but for the same price pretty much I can get a better light from them....
