WEEK 10 - FLOWER WEEK 1
See VEG Week 2 for details of stock solution A & B.
I use the BlueLab Combo Meter to measure pH, ppm (TDS) 500 scale, and temperature.
A great week in the tent. This girl is now about 8 inches through the first trellis net, and is about 23 inches tall above the reservoir. After over a week of 12/12 light schedule, she is finally sprouting some pistils.
Monday - Room 69F, 44%RH, Tent 77F, 53%RH. Reservoir down a gallon to 11 and measures 630 ppm, 5.9 pH, 69F.
Tuesday - Tent 77F @ 65%RH. Plant is 24 inches from the light. Reservoir level down to ~ 10 Gallons. Reservoir measured 670 ppm, 5.8 pH, 70F.
Reservoir top up with 2 Gallons R.O. water + 12mL of A + 12 mL of B = 350 ppm, 5.8 pH. Reservoir now 630 ppm, 5.8 pH, 69F.
Wednesday - Room 69F, 46%RH. Tent 75F, 57%RH. The reservoir is down to ~ 11 Gallons, 640 ppm, 5.9 pH, 69F. First Pistils are appearing.
Thursday - Room 69F, 44%RH. Tent 76F, 55%RH. Reservoir down ~ 2.5 Gallons and measures 670 ppm, 6.2 pH, 69F. Seeing some tip burn, and nutrient levels are climbing. Need to lower nutrient concentration. Top up reservoir with ~2.5 Gallons of R.O. water. Reservoir now 12 Gallons 560 ppm, pH 5.8, 68F. Raised light 2 inches to 24 inches above the plant canopy. Canopy about 6 inches above/through the trellis net.
Friday - Reservoir at 570 ppm, 6.3 pH, 68F. pH'd back down to 5.8.
Saturday - Reservoir @ 9.5 Gallons and measured 580 ppm, 6.5 pH, 70F. pH'd back down to 5.7.
Sunday - Room @ 70F, 47%RH - Tent @ 76F, 60%RH. Readjust light up to 20 inches above the canopy. Reservoir @ 8 Gallons, 560 ppm, 6.7 pH, 70F.
New reservoir change out - 3 X (4 Gallons of reverse osmosis water + 8 mL Green Planet Plant Guard + 8 mL GHE CALiMAGic + 28 mL Stock solution Part A + 28 mL stock solution Part B) = 560 ppm, pH 5.8, 65F, 12 Gallons.
Good progress this week. Added a second layer of trellis netting. How much is this girl going to stretch???????😳 over the next weeks of flower.
Please follow along, drop a like, comment, or question, and share your experience with this strain.
Peace,

@DeaneR, I grew some of crop kings Lambs breath over the summer, but didn't run a diary, if you want to get stuff done it is awesome the wife calls it my busy weed lol
Hey man! Just a thought, but maybe when those leaves turn 90 degs they are praying really hard, I mean it could be osmotic pressure in the plant that makes it turn that way, and apparently there's not much light difference on both sides of the leaf that it doesn't affect it's position
Great work as usual👌
Does that dwc method up the humidty in your house much?
I'm already running a dehumidifier in the basement and taking
almost 8 liters of water out of the air and keeping the basement at 55% RH and the rest of the house at 40-45% rh,
and I'm using soil.Hard to keep the rh where I want because our house looks like a jungle, plants everywhere.
I'm using the water from the dehumidifier to water all the house plants, I just add some (kelp me kelp you) to bring the PH up a little from
the RO water coming from the dehumidifier all plants are super happy.
Mery Christmas!!!
@northernMike, Thanks Mike. I don't think this DWC method raises my homes RH, any more than my previous coco grows, with fabric pots (think of the surface area of the pot and media drying, plus runoff in the tray). I found little loss due to evaporation using this DWC style. I put a plastic sheet around the stem of the plant, to block light and reduce evaporation. The plants do grow quickly though, and are transpiring a gallon per day...So its like having one of those room humidifiers running 24/7. It's been a warm/damp December in my area. Normally, my NG furnace helps lower my house RH. I disabled my HVAC's humidifier and run a DC furnace fan 24/7 to help circulate my house air. My house was built in the 60's, so the basement is always damper than the rest of the house.
Have a happy Happy, merry Merry!!!!👊
Hi ,
Can it be that the sympthomes are called canoeing? I had some similar leafs in 1 plant, beeing to wet. But your on dwc, so no idea. Its deffently wet!!! 😅😅😅

@Organic_LarF, Canoeing was a term my friends and I, used to describe a joint that burned unevenly😃. I see what you're saying, some call it tacoing? Spelling? I Dunno?
