I did the Vitalink water change as per scheduled extra bloom nutrients over last week so EC has increased to 2.4 with this in mind i will keep the top up solution at 50:50. acording to the schedule i should be using PK next week but I'm a bit unsure.

😥😡 So the return pump failed and she got really thirsty. She was checked about 6AM and again at 6PM so sometime in that window, annoyingly I was working from home which happens maybe twice a year and was just outside the grow cupboard all day. I swapped in the spare pump and fitted the low water alarm that was doing a fat lot of good in its box 🤦 . I’ve also ordered a new pump from jebeo which is a brand I’ve used previously on aquariums so know to be reliable I just hope I can make it fit halfway through the grow. I’d hoped to remove some lower buds tonight I won’t doing that now for at least a few days maybe not at all.

So hopefully the pump will come early and I can get on to sorting it. I’ll post a before and after of the plumbing but I don’t expect it to be pretty after. She looks to be bouncing back. She was strong and healthy before so I hope she’ll make a full recovery, excluding the handful of leaf’s that looked to far gone to heal.
The pump came about 3 o’clock I up sized the flow to the pump as it’s a bit bigger and didn’t want to run it dry. The ridged insulation on the front doesn’t fit any more so I’ve used some insulation packaging I had lying around. Now it’s dry I need to hoover up the mess I made pulling it all apart.
i had to drain the system to change the pump so i carried out the water change a day early with buddy.
Next week the Vitalink schedule swaps buddy for PK just for a week I'm not sure if this will be too soon, or I shouldn't worry and just do it? Any thoughts and advice on this especially from Vitalink would be much appreciated.
The switch should be the week(s) flowering have a peak.
Seeing how your plant look like actually i would say use PK week 10 and 11 and switch back to buddy for the few last flowering week(s).
Your plant will prolly need more than 8 week of flowering that the vitalink schedule show, decal feeding accordingly as your plant will prolly need more something like 10 -11 weeks of flowering i would say.
Happy growing.
So I'm thinking tomorrow's water change I should be using Vitalink PK for the weeks growth does that seem right to the more experienced? Thanks folks 😊
You're doing a magnificent job with this grow! I'd say you've got about 3-4 more weeks of flower and you want to start using the PK at peak - which would be now - so yes, your intuition is spot on.
Good luck with the grow from here on out - will be exciting to see your harvest!
Hello fellow growers. I have noticed some yellow edges to a handful of
her leaves. pH droped a bit today down to 5.6 but has been stable at about 6.4 previously. Photos from the last few days show this problem has been creeping for a couple of days. Any ideas?
Hey there Stashio, basically you have magnesium deficiency . Looks like you're not using dedicated calmag, but really you should, you cant really replace it with silica . Just try adding magnesium if you can , usually if you do this the problem should stop spreading immediately and the plant will recover quite quickly. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Hey Stashio,
Did you put your lamps higher a few days/ one week ago?
When you do that, your buds will stretch and make fox tails.
But in other cases, its just genetics.
Another thing, when you have high temperatures your buds like to stretch and getting fluffy as well,
if you want compact buds, lower your temperature a bit.
27 degrees is just fine but you can do 24-25 as well.
Good luck growing :)
@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the advice. I think you're right clearly a magnesium deficiency. I haven't been adding any calmag because it wasn't on the Vitalink schedule and so far she's been ok.
@SegaYGriega, "what's in the bottle in the photo?" if you mean the jug in with the plant its just full of RO water with a cloth wick to increase humidity removed 2-4-22
