Got cold again, had to replace space heater.
Refilled the rez, the plant drank most of the 5 gallons quickly, and the ppm remained at about 1000 and the ph stayed stable.
Really considering defoliating at least like 25% of the fan leaves to let more light get to colas.
I’ve been using really cold water to change the rez on both buckets. Like close to ice water cold, and it still hasn’t bothered the plants much that I can tell.
The plant looks healthy.
10th Planet: I drilled holes in the bucket so that I had a place to anchor wire for LST.(does make lifting net pot a lot more labor intensive)
Update(1/24/2022)
Defoliated. Took off all the big fan leaves. Hopefully this helps the buds fatten. Schwazzing I think it’s called.
Plants drank about a gallon from last rez change and ppm was already up to 1100. Ph was down to 5.6 I topped it off with more water and raised ph to 6.03 and lowered ppm to 870.
Update:(1/25/2022)
Plant looks great again. Barely needed any recovery time. I’ll definitely be schwazzing all of my plants from now on.
Happy with the new heater, I feel like the environment has been pretty stable. RH is a little higher than I want it, but it hasn’t seemed to hurt plant development much. Just those rust spots on leaves.
