Gushin ‘98

VividGreen One 50ml feeding on day two. 100ml PH 6.0 water day 4&6

VividGreen Tried giving a small amount of nutrients too early in week 1 causing tip burn on the first set of true leaves. Corrected with flush.

VividGreen There is a week gap in my photos so going forward I will go by calendar date. Plants were unavoidably left one week with low-dose of nutrients. Damage to lower leaves was severe so I removed them. If you look at the difference between the pictures on 8/29 and 8/30 you can see the response to increasing nutrients

VividGreen Turned air dome on - 9/1 Topped @ 6th node on - 9/2 Reduced light to 25% last week but it was still too high. Finally settled on 14.1% @ 30”. Photone app reeds 280 PPFD, probably not accurate. Huge thank you to kingsalomonsweed!

VividGreen Huge thank you to everyone that answered my grow question. The new growth darkened over several days after I increased my grow nutrients to 12.5 ml/gal.

VividGreen 9/15 - 2nd defoliation. 9/19 - Scrog net in tent. 8 inches above medium.

VividGreen 9/21 - Autopot trays have been measuring 6.3ph. The reservoir has been measuring 5.8ph so I’ve been giving 5.3ph water for 24 hours and the trays ph has fallen to 5.8 ph. I think the air domes are increasing the oxygen in the water enough to raise the pH. I’m going to try running my reservoir with nutrients at 5.3ph in the morning. I’m hoping this will be a controllable drift. 9/23 - defoliated both plants 9/24 - LST Adjusted tiedowns

VividGreen PH @ 5.3 for 3 days. Think I light burnt the plants. Damage looks worse than only a pH fluctuation. I am still having problems with the PH being different between the reservoir and trays.

VividGreen Tray pH fluctuating causing nutrient lockout. 10/15 removed remaining LST ties.

VividGreen 10/20 - removed some shading leaves

VividGreen Did a little cleaning up underneath the net 10/27

VividGreen Slowly filling the net but looking yellow. LED burn 😔permanent damage.

VividGreen 11/15-Defoliated below net & raised the light to 3’ above the net. Replaced air scrubber

VividGreen —

VividGreen Changed lighting to 12/12 over three days. Still feeding grow nutrients. 11/30 first full day of 12/12

VividGreen 50/50 mix bloom & veg nutrients

VividGreen —

VividGreen Increased EC

VividGreen Heavy defoliation done on 12/22 EC 2.6 strong solution to help with recovery from defoliation in flower

VividGreen Lowered bloom nutrient to 16 mL per gallon and hydroplex to 4 mL per gallon. EC now 2.3

VividGreen Odor is starting to overpower my scrubber.

VividGreen I’m cautious about going any higher with PPFD.

VividGreen Lowered EC to 1.6 Lowered light to 35 DLI Slightly lower day and night temperature

VividGreen Sorry, no pics so far. Tomato plants have White fly and I don’t want to risk opening the tent Lowered EC to 1.4. Lowered day temperature

VividGreen Still keeping the tent closed due to white fly in the tomatoes. Lowered EC again. Lowered temperature. Light 11/13

VividGreen Last days before harvest. Further reduce the temperature. Reduce light to 10 hours. 5.8ph water flush.

VividGreen This is the list of major mistakes I made. 1- nutrient burn during seedling stage. 2- pH fluctuation that took several weeks to get under control. 3- increased the LED power too soon in the veggie stage, causing light burn. 4- more than one cola per square in Scrog For all those mistakes, the plants still pull through and gave a decent yield
