A day early again this week so F34 today.
Res change F30
EC 1.5 (750 PPMs) - PPMs rose 2 days in a row. so I topped off with only water and the EC seems a bit more stable. I added some karma 1 day after the change and am seeing some tip burn, so I am going to try to bring the PPMs closer to 700.
PH 5.7-5.8 - 2 big drops (4.8-5.2) after the change and the last 3 days it has been stable at 5.7-5.8. The drops have to be something with how my water and how much pH down I am using. Work in progress haha.
I'm trying hard to keep this thing down. She is close as hell to the light, so I turned them down and used a PPFD app to try and find the best distance.
Other than that, I'm just trying to keep her cool. I had to turn a light off for a couple hours yesterday as it was 82+ in the tent. Turning the light off got it closer to 78.
Overall, a really beautiful plant and a pleasure to grow. The tops are still bendy enough to train. She is stinky, starting to frost up.
I'm thinking this 1 will need a full 11 weeks.
Have a good week and thanks for stopping by! ๐๐
Nice to see the coolers bubbling again! All the best with this crop โ
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. ๐
@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. ๐
@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 ๐ค
@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!
