Today marks the 1st day of week 14, and the start of the 2nd week of the ripening stage.
Stella received a gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients:
FloraMicro - 5 ml
FloraBloom - 15 ml
Floralicious Plus - 1 ml
Dry KoolBloom - 0.5 tsp.
I seem to be having an issue with pH the last 2 feeding days. I think my gallon jugs have reached the end of their lifetimes, and THAT is what is causing my issue. It has happened to me once before, and getting new jugs cleared up the issue. I’m assuming that will be the solution to the problem.
However, we all know what “assume” stands for don’t we? If you don’t, leave a comment and I’ll explain.
The initial pH was 5.4. That is the lowest that I have ever had simply after adding nutrients. I added a total of 10 ml’s of pH UP, which in my opinion is way too much! But, I did it in 3 separate increments. Not that that makes it better.
The final pH after all that was 6.3. The runoff pH was 5.6.
She is still looking good, but you can tell she’s getting ready to start getting to her end stage. I wait with baited breath!
The tent was 81.7F, with a humidity of 56%.
We’re almost there! Happy growing everyone.

Today I’m going to keep this note brief… I promise.
Stella is continuing to fatten up getting ready for harvest in a few weeks. She is still doing well.
Today she received a gallon of water mixed with the ripen stage nutrients again. I changed all of my jugs, but after mixing everything up the initial pH was 5.5. I added 8 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted the pH going in to 6.2. Her runoff pH was 5.6.
The tent was 83.3F, with humidity at 58%.
See! A short note is possible!! Happy growing everyone.

Stella and all of her children were fed today. As usual, a day later than planned, but they got fed, and are all still doing wonderful.
We’re keeping with the ripen nutrients mixed into a full gallon of water.
FloraMicro - 5 ml
FloraBloom - 15 ml
Floralicious Plus - 1 ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml
Initial pH was 5.2. I added 12 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted it to 6.2. She had plenty of runoff with a pH of 5.8
The tent was 83.9F, and humidity was 52%.
Her buds are FAT!! Happy growing everyone!
@guerilla,
No, but that would be nice (automated feeding). I skipped a day on purpose to show that skipping 4 days would be much, much worse. I added some pics from today to show how she’s doing now. You can take a look if you’re so inclined. Have a good day.
@guerilla,
I skipped a feed day to show my wife what would happen to my plants after skipping 1 day. The reason is that we are/were going out of town for about 4 - 6 days in July. This was to show the detriment to my plants if I were to make that trip to my wife so that she herself could see that such a trip at this stage would not be wise. I believe the lower Rh is due to heat, and skipped feeding day. Stay tuned to see how it works out.
@guerilla,
Yes. It’s much warmer than it usually is, but it tends to fluctuate a little higher at times when we have several really hot (94-96F) days strung together. They tend to handle the heat well and don’t have any issues in that regard. Skipping a feeding day during a heatwave is probably not the best thing either.
