F9 - Res change - 12ml/gal bloom, 3.75ml/gal cal-mag (230-240 PPMs = cal-mag, silica, water), 1ml/gal karma, 1.5ml/gal silica, hydroguard, slf-100.
F10- Added 1ml/gal (5ml total) of hydroplex on F10 (0-10-6).
F14 - Large defoliation today. Added 2.5ml of liquid karma to each reservoir.
F15 - Added a pic to show how fast they recovered
EC 1.4-1.45 (PPM 700-730) - The smaller Iraqi looks a little overfed, maybe K.. EC is rising slightly. The left iraqi is stable at 700-730 PPMs.
PH 5.6-5.9 - A couple PH drops, so PH up in the morning. My life with botanicare. Trying to keep it up around 5.7-5.9.
It looks like the P, maybe magnesium, deficiency is much better. The red on the stems recovered, so most likely it was a Phosphorus issue. I normally don't add the bloom booster this early, but they needed it.
I took off a lot of healthy growth, but left a lot of fan leaves at the bottom in case they need it for the rest of the stretch.
This plant on the left could easily have been stretched out and filled out the whole 3 x 3. I took off probably 6-8 arms off each of the 10 tops I left. Crazy vigorous.
The roots on the right are looking a little funky. No smells, so maybe a build up of humic and kelp, a bio film from the bennies?. IDK but I will start hitting it with some slf-100 and hydroguard in the spray bottle a few times.
Have a good week and thanks for stopping by! ππ
Nice to see the coolers bubbling again! All the best with this crop β
Funny, you mention your heavy hand. I'm a charter member of that club. I just destroyed a seedling trying to remove its helmet - I'm so impatient. π
@Oozle, Thanks buddy. Back at cha! I'll have new diaries spinning up in a couple of weeks. Some down time is nice, but I'm already itching to get started again. π
@Oozle, I do love DWC. I have one plant destined for the great outdoors that my buddy will be minding for me while I'm on vacation. I'll be keen to get the buckets going again when I return.
How awesome you scored some MAC1 clones - one of my favorite strains! I've been on the lookout for seeds but it looks like ordering via the UK/Europe is my only option. I'm looking forward to your journal!
@StunFlower, It was spur of the moment thing. Now I have a room problem because I have to quarantine them for a bit. I never had the smoke and seeds here are super expensive for real MAC (think it has a lot to do with how the pollen isn't very fertile)... so here's to hoping I actually got the real MAC1 cap cut.
These plants are keeping you hopping. Looks like you're getting things sorted out. I'm excited to see those MAC! clones in there. Like I said, one of my favourite strains, very tasty smoke. I did manage to find and order some MAC seeds that I'll run in my next batch. They certainly won't be the coveted cap cut but we'll see what grows π€
@StunFlower, Thanks. Good to hear you had positive experiences with the MAC. I just turned the lights off in that tent and I wasn't sure if I was going to kill it or flower it. Everyone is telling me to keep it so I guess I will haha.
@StunFlower, thanks. It sucks cause it had a really nice camera, so now I am back to my old phone for pictures. I am grateful I had a backup and no real loss except some $$ and pics.
@StunFlower, I killed them a month or two back. They rooted I could have put them into flower, but my soil tent was running WAY longer than I planned and I didn't have the room/want to combine hydro and soil. Also I was a touch worried about the clone herpes (Hop Latent Viriod) stuff since I didn't know the source of the clones and I was planning on taking some myself soon. I wanted everything as controlled/sterile as possible for my new clones.
I lost my new phone, so I lost all the pictures of the last couple weeks of that grow. So it was a bunch of stuff combined that led me to culling them.
@StunFlower, haha yea. stinky stuff. Thanks dude. It's nice getting stuff that smells different than the pineapples, oranges, and lemons. Not that those are bad, I'm growing some now haha. I love a lot of them, but always a treat to have some different terp profiles.
@StunFlower, thanks! today she didn't seem to stretch up much more so I think she is about done. I have her velcro'd down too.
I am using a PPFD app to try and manage my light intensity cause it is growing so close to the light. keeping my fingers no more stretching and now all bud growth!
