Will do an update later. All is going well. Does anyone else get weirdly shaped leaves after doing a FIM? I usually punch it with my fingers and a few times the new growth afterwards looks a little deformed and almost as if it’s been bitten off. It took me a while but after scouting with a loupe for aaaaages I realised that when I pinched the very growth tip off I think it also clipped the very tips of the tiiiiny leaves that are growing out the very end of the small node before it’s exapanded outwards. I was really scared I had critters but I did it myself! Duh

@Rabidreject I would recommend not adding anything in with the Hydrocrop nutrients; no supplements or additives of any kind. Unlike a lot of brands, they really are a complete feed …They provide everything plants need so it’s not necessary to put in anything extra. And they are designed to work with either inert media or hydro (i.e. where there are no other nutrients present), so anything else you add just runs the risk of upsetting the balance. They are also very stable, so it’s either something you’re adding (probably the silicone) or not watching the pH that’s causing the precipitation. I know Hydrocrop’s nutrients are not big on the cannabis scene, but loads of tomato growers use them, and cannabis has similar nutrient requirements to tomatoes. Coco coir, perlite and the nutients are ALL you need. Easy, effective and cheap …Just ensure the pH stays within the 5.5 - 6.4 range. As I said before, the nutrients are buffered to stabilise the pH so it should hold pretty steady once you’ve set it.

Ah those cannabis specific nutrient companies, with all their not-so-optional extras …It’s a clever business model isn’t it?! Putting the Hydrocrop nutrients in pH 7 water and not adjusting it down afterward will cause some precipitation. If you do try using them again, you need to mix the feed to whatever EC you want, then add pH down - I use phosphoric acid - until the pH is around 6. You shouldn't need much pH down because the nutrients themselves are fairly acidic. I’m sure that will resolve the issue (unless there is something strange in your tap water!). The only time I have had any problem with precipitation is when I completely forgot to adjust the pH after mixing the feed. It worried me until I realised what I had done. I threw the feed out, made a new batch, adjusted the pH, and everything was fine thereafter.

@Faroutman,yeah funnily enough I had come to pretty much the same conclusion just by looking at the packet. I’m so used to getting done by cannabis nutrient companies that it just seemed too good to be true! Yeah I think it’s a PH thing. My ph out my tap is high like a 7 or 7.5 so just because I do not time with these autos to change the res and wait to see if my change has worked. I will probably try these again but with literally just the hydrocrop. I dunno, tbh it’s not really my style and doesn’t really work with my ‘lifestyle’. I’m probably going to go with an organic dry amendment type thing from ecothrive. That way I can just mix with my media and top dress once a week after veg and add water only to my res. That would be a lot simpler for me. Tbh this is the second time I have tried these hydrosol nutes and I do remember getting precipitate with them before as well. No idea why as I wasn’t adding anything at all other than the hydrosol when I used it last time in my hempy buckets. I must admit i am not a huge fan but each to their own. I dunno why but it just won’t stay in solution for me. Very odd

Looking great 👍🏻 I’ve got some OG Kush seeds from FB for my next round. Good luck the rest of the way!

I do believe it was my PH that was a little too high and/or lack of cal/mag, more specifically cal. My PH way crazy high coming out a turquoise green colour which is upwards of 7! I lowered it down to a yellow green which is 5.5-6. I also raised my EC slightly. So take your pick, it was one of them! Lol I probably should have done one at a time so if it happened again I would know specifically. Pretty sure it was the ph tho coz I’m da Italy certain hydrosol has enough cal/mag built in. Meh all is good now

Rabidrejectcommentedweek 72 years ago

Still going really nicely. Will do another update this evening. Not that it looks like my last update has even gone through. Very odd and annoying but hey ho. These girls are getting massive now. Every time I think they have finished stretching I go in the room and they’ve crept upwards again! These autopots are crazy efficient and the girls just love them. I was really worried that they would be too small for the root mass but now iv grown with them they are actually great. I think any bigger would just be too big of a plant for my tent to be honest. They are already creeping way over to the smaller Afghan side. I don’t think I’ll be able to reuse any of the media I put in the autopots autos tho. The root mass is just going to be way too compacted for me to be bothered to go through it all. It’s interesting that I have two blueberry plants without an air stone at the bottom and two OG’s with the air stone. I’m not sure I used it correctly to be honest. I think I was meant to lay some sort of wicking material around it like perlite or clay balls but I didn’t have anything so just filled straight with coco. Anyway I have one bigger plant out of each strain so it doesn’t look like the stone has made a huge difference. I have one big og and one smaller and same with the blueberry. Pretty interesting. Probably going to play around with some plastic sip bucket inserts linked up to some sort of timer/pump or something to refill the hempies every few days. Probably will just use my drip system for it. I dunno I’m off to get my back clicked now. Will update when im home
