An action packed week for the Cake Stomper. I gave her a pretty good defoliation on day 22 and she hasn't skipped a beat and is filling out again nicely.
It won't be long before she goes into flower so I setup the ScrOG net today.
She got a slight bump in nutes with last weeks rez change. EC has been right around .6 (300 PPM) and PH has been very stable, between 5.9 - 6.1. I've been super cautious about not letting PH run high (≥6.2) and so far I'm seeing none of the deficiencies I've too often encountered previous grows.
I've doubled up the lighting in this tent as I suddenly had a couple of surplus TS1000s as a consequence of doing a lighting upgrade in my other tent. Really hoping to see some better end results.🤞 I'm running both lights at about 75% right now and will gradually increase the intensity.
Super happy with this girl's progress.
Thanks for tuning in ✌️
Looking good mate!
How you like Remo’s VeloKelp? Particular kelp beneficial contains ascophyllum kelp and it is reported to work as a biostimulant also can be used as a ”natural PGR” in higher doses.
TLDR; have you noticed the difference if plants growing more compact and bushy when supplying Kelp?
@Verbalist, Greetings! Funny you should mention the VeloKelp...
I visited my local hydro supply store to refill on nutes the other day and the person I was talking to really discouraged the use of VeloKelp in DWC. She said the potential harm it can cause outweighs any benefits - there's stuff in the mix that can't be absorbed in DWC and the fallout that clings to the roots can attract nats, promote mold/fungus, etc. I'm going to stop using it.
TLDR; to answer your question, no I don't notice the plants growing more compact and bushy using VeloKelp. 😀
