Day 29 - 04/19/22
All is well after the haircut.
I did screw up my Apera PC-60 but did not store it properly. That was a $55 mistake.
------------------------------------------------------
Day 30 - 04/20/22
Everything looks healthy.
Lots of undergrowth
Made a new Batch of Nutrients as follows:
1) 3 gal RO Water
2) 10.8 g of Jack's A
3) 3.6 g of Epsom
4) 7.2 g Jack's B
5) 5 ml Tribus
6) 5 ml Mr. Fulvic
7) 15 ml Stout mono silicic acid (MSA)
8) 15 ml Bio-cozyme
9) 3 ml Humboldt Enzymes
This produced a very acidic mix, so I used 2 ml of pH Up to level at 5.88 (Note: left low to help bring down rez in the end product)
1) E.C. was 2.2 (as in 2 high)
2) Added 3/4 gal of RO to get to 1.8 EC
Added this mixture to Rez Tank and that settled at:
1) 1.79 EC
2) 6.27 pH
------------------------------------------------------
Day 31 - 04/21/22
Rez rose to 6.62
Added 11 ml of pH Up
Settled at 6.05
Just got my Apera Pen Tip in ... will calibrate and correct the above numbers.
------------------------------------------------------
Day 32 (0422/22)
* Today, four samples were sent to Farmer Freeman for some sex testing.
* Only 4 because that was my intentional number when I ordered the test, but I just couldn’t say No to the #5 Runt (at the time).
* Overall, I am pleased with the growth so far.
* They seem to have finally connected up with AutoPot’s style of feeding.
* I haven’t watered in two days, and there has been no "droop."
* I also changed out the Mosquito Bits bag in the reservoir.
------------------------------------------------------
Day 33 - (042322)
* Gave each plant 200ml of straight calcium with an EC 0.289 @ 6.4 pH.
- 145 ppm on 500 scale
- 202 ppm on 700 scale
Made a batch of my own Cal/Mag from EDTA Calcium (1.5g), Epsom (1 tbsp) and Fulvic Acid (0.5g)
- EC 2.16
- 6.21 pH
------------------------------------------------------
Day 34 - Before & After Last Haircut (3rd) In Veg (042422)
Notes
* Last Pruning Before the Flip (See Before & After Pic)
* Gave 100 ML Homemade Cal/Mag Each
Made 3 gallons of Nutrients (Totals are X 3 Dose for 3 gallons):
* 9g Jack’s A
* 6g Jack’s B
* 3g Epsom
* 3 ml Mr. Fulvic
* 10 ML Stout MSA (mono-silicic acid)
Note: Lowered from 3.6g (A), 2.4g (B), 1.2g (Epsom) per gallon to 3g,2g,1g per gallon to make less "hot."
Results of Batch:
* EC 1.76
* pH 4.68
* Left Acidic to balance out the Rez, which had drifted to 6.69 pH
* When poured into the rez, pH batch only lowered to 6.55 pH
* I added 7ml of pH Down to finalize at 6.10 pH and EC 1.85
Tank Status:
* 3 gallons raised the tank from 9” to 14” deep of liquid nutrients
------------------------------------------------------
Day 35 (042522) - Notes & Stats
First Impressions:
* 4 out of 5 praying happily this AM, the other was just normal.
* Great Color
* No obvious deficiencies or toxicity.
* No Odor Yet.
* But after touching the leaves, there is a mint and basil essence on my fingers.
Enviroment:
* One of 2 humidifiers was not on, this moved VPD into High / Ok status
The Reservoir:
* The pH drift in the reservoir is strange - from 6.10 to 6.82 in 24 hours.
* Added 13 ML of pH down to get back to 6.12 pH.
* EC is within normal drift expectations - from 1.85 to 1.81 in 24 hours.
* Did not top amend with my homemade Ca/Mg, but the day is still young.
Morning Dew?
Top notch work my guy! On a scale of
1-10 it’s an 11! Wicked wicked.
Very distinct bud structure on this.
The Machine had a somewhat similar structure but the fade and better density
Suggests Morning Dew.
Final answer. 😋
