Cleaned my tank out and swapped over to Bud Boom for final few weeks.
Leaves changing colour pretty fast but PH in, run off and root zone right where I want them so I’ve lifted lights a little and reduced daylight hours to 16. (Leaves getting high DLI can get leaf Chlorosis, like sun burn from too much intense light for too long. If you can’t raise your lights you can always reduce daylight hours to get correct DLI: daily light integral). Happy to see yellows and purples but not this fast with 2/3 weeks left.
I’ll top feed them with PH’d water and plantacillin every 4 days to reduce salt build up. This is a common problem with auto pots and synthetic nutes.
Also next run I’ll be using coco, although this nute line says it can be used with any medium it naturally wants to sit around 5.8-6.3 so I’m having to PH UP quite a bit for soil.
I’ll be using PH perfect soil once I’ve used up this future harvest stuff.
Thanks for stopping by ✌️🏽
**I think I waited too long to start nutrients then started on too weaker EC.
Next time in soil I’ll start a few weeks earlier so they can build up enough N in their leaves for back end of flower.
Hopefully they can get what they need to ripen up.
** also another reason for leaf chlorosis might be due to each time I’ve top fed with plantacillin I’ve waited for pots to dry before putting the back on autopots with nutrients. This is a couple of extra days when P and K are in high demand. Note to self, top feed/flush but remember to fill trays with nutes before I let dry for 1-2 days.
@Lazuli, hey, I’ll definitely be using Coco next grow. Soil just isn’t draining as well as it should, especially with the autopot system. 2-3 weeks left so not far to go! 🤞🏽
