Germinated 10/06
All plants have been topped twice now, defoliated, and lathered in neem. I turned lights to max setting this morning (slowly been raising 1 tick ever so often). Going to top one more time and then use pipe cleaners for some LST.
I fed 3ml per gallon silicate and 1ml per gallon of gro, bloom, and micro. EC was down to around 0.8 - 1.0 before feeding. Ph is starting to fluctuate more now that plants are picking up feeding. Im using between 2-3ml Ph Down to get from 6.5 to 5.8ish. Going to let them go a few days before topping the water back up real high to encourage more root growth in the netpot as I want to make sure they are super stable later on. Moving around in the pot during transfer is not ideal.
For anyone interested my "Flora Bloom" mix is the following per 3.79L (1 gallon) -
349.85g - MgSO4
290.04g - KH2PO4
74.07g - KH2PO4 (instead of Dipotassium Phosphate)
47.43g - K2SO4 (instead of Dipotassium Phosphate)
I'm going to be running out of FloraMicro soon so I am going to switch to the following -
428.67g - CaNO3
081.91g - KNO3
107.35g - (NH4)2SO4 (instead of NH4NO3)
068.44g - Miller MicroPlex
^ instead of EDTA FE(13%) @ 5,555.55mg/l *3.79 = 21,055.53mg which is 722.37PPM
^^based on same target 0.38ppm FE level replacement + provides micros
These are both modified recipes for the FloraTrio from GH available on http://opensalts.wikidot.com/ . I did switch a couple things up so it was more cost effective, NH4NO3 is expensive!
Does anyone know what the strange leaf deformation is? I am guessing it is VPD related or perhaps air movement? I added the big fan after it appeared, and it is run on a lower setting. TIA for the help!
All is nice , think its mechanical from rubbing into something ...
Vpd charts absolutely cant force leaf to be damaged ;)))
Plus plants look super well fed, could be toxicity soon. Be careful.
