m0use's G13 Labs - Maltezerz

Two days after her transplant I topped her again an added in some LST. These can be seen in the early top/lst titled photos. They have both taken very well to early LST and topping. I plan on topping them a few more times with LST to create a large amount of centralized colas. I have also stripped her of any smaller side branches under the main nodes that have been topped. Give the damaged this one received before it has bounced back quite well. I was noticing adding in the air stone to my watering reservoir for increased oxygenation caused the waters PH to rise. The PH was going up and making it harder to go back down. I did a little test as well and made a chart that I attached to my diary. It seems adding in a air stone will spike the waters PH and keep it up. You will need a substantial amount more phosphoric acid to keep the levels down. I tested this on approx 700ml of water, my smaller reservoir holds 4L and larger one holds 12L. With the 4L reservoir I had to add 3x-4x times more acid to bring it back down towards 6.5 ideal PH. With this done, I am not noticing any new issues on the growth of the plants and they are looking pretty great. I will be using air stones now to help oxygenate the water and will adjust PH respectfully. Will do a U•CANN by Gaia Green nutrient top up in another 2weeks but next watering I will add in some extras. Using very small amounts of Ascorbic Acid to neutralize the chloramine in the city's tap water. Nothing else to really report.
