Day 43 - Fertigated with ec 1.32 ms/cm, pH 6.2. Runoff between ec 1.38 - 1.51 ms/cm, pH 5.3 - 5.9.
Day 44 - Fertigated with ec 1.34 ms/cm, pH 6.3. Runoff between ec 1.41 - 1.56 ms/cm, pH 5.3 - 5.9. Skywalker #2 pH 5.3. Tilled in 2 tablespoons of dolomite lime to raise pH.
Day 45 - Fertigated with ec 1.35 ms/cm, pH 6.3. Runoff between ec 1.38 - 1.56 ms/cm, pH 5.4 - 5.9. Skywalker #1 @ 33", AVT #1 & 2 @ 32". Noticing some purple leaves on Skywalker #2 and Mango Smile #1.
Day 46 - Fertigated with ec 1.33 ms/cm, pH 6.5. Runoff between ec 1.47 - 1.54 ms/cm, pH 5.6 - 6.0.
Day 47 - Fertigated with ec 1.37 ms/cm, pH 6.4. Runoff between ec 1.46 - 1.62 ms/cm, pH 5.5 - 5.9.
Day 48 - Fertigated with ec 1.34 ms/cm, pH 6.5. Runoff between ec 1.38 - 1.54 ms/cm, pH 5.5 - 5.8. Some slight calcium deficiency in two upper leaves on Skywalker #2. Tap water should have enough calcium so it's likely a result of the low pH (5.4) several days ago. Will continue to monitor as the dolomite lime should slowly raise the pH while adding calcium and magnesium to the media.
Day 49 - Fertigated with ec 1.41 ms/cm, pH 6.4. Runoff between ec 1.53 - 1.61 ms/cm, pH 5.4 - 5.6. Used all 8 gallons from reservoir but ec remains a little high. I will begin fertigating twice a day to prevent salt buildup in the media.
congrats on the harvest. I'm using Bruce Bugbee Method as well (1st grow), are you going to use that Peat/Vermiculite medium again or do you think it can be only used once!
Great following along with your grow. I just started the same.
You show you are watering about .5l per 24hrs per plant how much runoff are you getting?
I water every few days using a soil probe and weight to determine dryness. But, I may switch to more regular lighter watering if I can get your results.
@Dusty_Shackleford, well I am definitely going to make some changes to my watering. I probably water about 1/3 of what you do.
My plants appear healthy but my yield is typically about an ounce. AVT will get more water going forward. Thank you for your assistance
@Aberj3, At this point it's up to about 1.5 gallons per plant per day. During veg it was about 0.5 gal per plant and I watered once per day. I now water twice per day and always get at least 20% runoff. I would strongly suggest an automatic watering system because hand watering and measuring runoff takes about 2 hours every day.
