Turns out pH is kind of important...who knew. Now that I've fixed my broken pH meter issue, things have REALLY started to clear up. Found out last week that my old pH meter was off by a factor of .3/1. So, at BEST it was 1 third off. I'm actually surprised I didn't just melt these ladies. They're a lot more resilient than I thought...thank God. Haha. Anywho; the ladies are recovering nicely and starting to get thick and frosty. Excited to see how they finish out. I'm very thankful we were able to find that pH issue, or this grow may not have finished. The only casualty was the larger Double Grape. Had to flush and bring her down early before bud rot took over. (again, 100% my bad)
Started ramping up nutes again in the right pH range. So far so good.
Hope everyone had a great week of growing, and remember: never give up on your ladies. 9 times out of 10 it's an operator error...in this case I was the bonehead. Learn from my stupid: double check your pH, and watch that light height.
Until next week. โ๏ธ๐ฑ
nice setup, ive got 1 phantom 600wLED AND A lumii 400w LED.
also i wired up some LED grow bulbs (100w each) but dont really use them too much.
anyways happy growing!
@MyWifeSaysIcanDateU, I've been adding a little more power as we go, and bringing the light closer to the plants. Thanks for that! I'll definitely start lower and increase the intensity as it ages. LED is pretty badass.
@DoctorAutoflower, that's the silver regimen I'm on currently. There are definitely some unique things happening at the bud sites, how ever this is my first time handling auto's...so we'll see how it goes. โ๏ธ๐ฑ
@CrystalMeph,
There isn't much to it once you have a good formula colloidal silver = spray daily, silver thiosulfate = once a week. Also keep spraying even after a few sacks start to form, you don't want to wait the whole process to find out the sacks are empty.
The whole point of this is to create a hermie. She/he is still young so you'll likely still get sacks. And your welcome. Thank you for stopping by one of my journal, maybe I'll creat a new one soon.l
@DoctorAutoflower, that's what I was thinking originally. I read a few really lonnnnng articles about forcing autoflowers. From what I read, you have to wait a little longer into seeing pistols or the plant may hermie. Info could be WAY off, but she is definitely starting to form some new sacks. I guess we'll see. Regardless; I have more of her seeds to try again. I appreciate your helpful comment tho.
@Bigpoppachubbs, Thanks, theyre almost back to 100%. It's a 3D printed LST tool that a growmie designed. You can find this one on thingiverse.com if you search "LST". I have a bunch of cool 3D printed goodies I've designed over the years in my next grow that's germing rn.
