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 (β₯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.π€ 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 βοΈ
Looking good mate!
How you like Remoβs VeloKelp? Particular kelp beneficial contains ascophyllum kelp and it is reported to work as a biostimulant also can be used as a βnatural PGRβ 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. π
