Welcome to the start of week 3 of 12/12 lighting. So far they seem pleased with their nutrients and light intensity. I am continuing to test the Daily Light Integral to prevent providing too little or too much light. It took some work, but I’ve been able to use the Photone app with some degree of confidence in the accuracy. It measures par, DLI and lux by using your iPhone.
Saturday: Topped off reservoir in self watering feeder. Roughly half gallon used yesterday. These feeders do a very nice job. I’m continuing to feed the “Lucas Formula” (can be googled) using GH Flora nutrients. The plants have responded very positively so far….it’s cheap and easy and effective. I like it! Decided to clean up the lower third of the canopy after taking the pictures.
Sunday: finished defoliation. Topped off nutrient reservoirs and checked ph/ppm in reservoirs. Verified par readings are between 700-1150. No leaf stress under 1150 par.
Adjusted to 6.5 ph.
Monday: topped off reservoir which is at 1350ppm and 6.6ph.
Wednesday: topped off reservoirs. Checked ppm and ph in reservoirs.
I was suspicious of potential salt buildup around the roots with this self-watering system, so I flushed with 6 gallons of water and Florakleen in 3 gallons. First runoff ppm at 4,000! By the end, ppm was 1800. Pumped 1.5 gallons of 1200ppm nutrient water thru the plant at the end.
Thursday: recovered from the flush….looks great. I realized that the stretch wasn’t as bad as i expected. I can squeeze all three plants into one 2x4 tent. Posted above….with Purple Ghost Candy, Godfather OG and LA Peyote Kush in order from left to right.
Friday…noticed that the pot is still heavy from the flush on Wednesday. Reservoir is at 50% empty, so she’s been drinking. Plan to refill containers with 6.5 ph 1200 ppm nutrients,
Love the training 💪 I normally do a standard manifold but I'm learning how to do these quads. Take a look at mine if you would, I'd love any advice you may have
@Cyrusdavirus, I’ll head over and take a look, but this is my first time following a Quadlining tutorial. It’s definitely not rocket science, but it’s a nice simple process that’s easy to follow so far. I may not be much help.
@@T_Dub, I think I only have two going in there, the Silver Widow and Amnesia fast the rest are standard manifolds
Merry Christmas to you and the family 🤶🎅🎄
@Cyrusdavirus, I hope you’re right Cyrus. She’s a bushy one….keeping me on my toes. I am really enjoying this Quadline training technique….how is yours coming? Any specific diary with quadline going?
Merry Christmas Eve to you Cyrus!
