Five weeks of flower in the books.
I ran pretty high ppms this week and the girls handled it great. I did a quick flush, and am going with the same mix this week, then drop it down. I’ll keep the ph at 5.9 to start, but will have it to 5.8 mid week.
Raised the light a bit and trimmed out a few more fan leaves.
I’m in dwc, and at 5.8 I’d be limiting nitrogen uptake. I’d try lowering if you can point me to anything supporting your comment …. I’d try anything that will help.
I do run a lower ph in clone, and in my transfer over to my dwc system for a few days. But once roots pop out of pot and lights are over 25% I go over 6. Then drop about a point a week.
I won’t hit 5.8 until week 3 or 4 of flower.
@love_2_grow,
It took a couple runs to figure out how to fill the net and also keep an even height canopy to suit my layout … and I’m growing 4 separate strains to boot, so that doesn’t help. So I think I’ve got my plan on how I’m going to prune and pull through the net …
I’ve also got a better handle on ppm at the mid bud weeks to suit the larger plant, and am much better with what I think are proper NPK levels. I’ve also become a ph ocd person, and understand how or effects nutrient absorption.
It’s all just talk for now … but am hoping this is my best run yet.
