good day all - hope you are all well!
On day 18 now and they have taken finally - the growth is visible daily - just the way I like it.
Been having issues with heat still, forgot how reliant I have been on the AC, and without it keeping the temps stable over the 24hrs is autopilot. Anyway, I do think that slowed them down a touch at the start and the leaves have a bit of canoeing going on - otherwise they look OK to me.
Today the GLO F2 got a haircut, a topping and good old spraying with Remo Velokelp, she is the most vigorous of the plants so far. The Purple Punch is only slightly behind and is doing well, but the Afghan x NL is still struggling a bit - she had a lack of calmag at the start, coupled with the heat has stressed her a touch...she will be right me thinks. And the runt is runting along nicely throwing out random leaves.
Temps - 25 --> 30
RH - 45 --> 60%
Res temp - 22
The hose pipe ban has caused me some issues with getting tap water to my grow space, therefore so far I have been using 100% RO water which I find a real pain in the ass to control, anything you add it goes haywire, I will sneak a watering can in there later and top up one of the RO bottles with 5ltrs of tap ready for the next res change.
PH floating around 6.3 and 6.4, and the E.C is higher than I want right now at 1.4/1.6 but as mentioned without tap water I find it so hard to manage the res - if I just add Ro on top it does very little watering down according to the truncheon. They do not look over fed, if anything a few deficiencies are creeping in so I must get on top of the water situation over the next day or two to get it to where I really want at this stage.
Also, I have changed my light again to the HiKrop 360 from Kroptek, it is an awesome light, I have used it for the past few years producing some lovely nuggage! It is 120w less than the other light - it is really ample for the space I was just being greedy, and with the cost of electricity I cannot use my AC unit so was the sensible thing to do in order to get teh temps under control
@SSSC_John, hey hey Jonny - I have to say, the Dragon fuel is down and dry, and my god she is strong - thank you very much for the chance to grow her a truly EPIC lady, She is sitting in a sealed grove bag now until January sometime
@SSSC_John, hey there JOhnny, hope all is well! Its al moving along nicely now, they have all been bent and tied down etc... time for some oversized SSSC magic π
@SSSC_John, thanks Man - good to hear from you! I have to say the NLxAfghan, which is the Dragon Fuel is one of the best most potent autos I have ever grown. truly impressive strain! thanks again
