Start of week 12 and it has been eventful. Small box and two heavy breathers means the humidity was up at 80%. Realise now I just need to take all out and dry off each day (an actual puddle in the bottom each day). That plus an electric dehumidifier seems to have got humidity down to a consistent 50% with 27c heat. (Excess water and lots of electricity- what could go wrong).
Noticed one bud leaning against the damp wall started to show signs of mould or bud rot (could you look at the photo and tell me?). I chopped out the offending bit and then practiced wet trimming for the first time with the head of the bud that was far enough away from the bud rot or mould that I’m going to smoke it next week to see if it’s at all strong. I know it won’t taste great but as the saying goes curiosity and mouldy old buds killed the cat.
The Skywalker is focused on at the start of the video and then to the right is the slightly less developed orange auto.
If anyone can give me advice then it would be appreciated. Thanks to budfella last week for helping me realise that nutrient rich water every time is not the way to go.
@Indicate, Salt build up is a problem in coco i've noticed. It's actually better to increase your fertigation frequency and use a flushing agent at the end of the week to dissolve the excess salt. Over watering is better in coco than underwatering. I suspect you just have a build up.
@Budfella, Thanks for that tip. It’s amazing how many mistakes I’ve made despite all the information being available online. I’ll look forward to seeing your next diary post.
@Budfella, I’m not actually. Just following the biobizz chart and every couple of days giving nutrient rich water. Should I be rotating, giving non-nutrient water in between?
Love that KNF brotha! Yes that FAA will be really nice a year from now. I have a bucket of fish from 3 years ago and it smells so fresh and clean, and it's stronger now than the first year. Better every year. Also love some JADAM, I have found its even easier than KNF, I still use both now though ✌️ ☮️
@Indicate,
Yes, I did some last year hydroponic, DWC, just need a biofilter, there is a FB group on organic hydroponics, the guy on there has a sticky thread with directions on how to make the biofilter, basically you would pump everything into a separate system, like a 5 gallon bucket with holes on top of another 5 gallon bucket and the top bucket have filtration media like coco coir baskets filled with clay pebbles and other filtration. Have to see his set up. Then another pump sending that "filtered" water back to your Reservoir and the rest of your hydroponic system. The beneficial bacteria live in the biofilter and eat up the stuff that gets stuck in the media. It works, it's harder, I think KNF and JADAM is easy in living soil, 10+gallon containers, preferably in a large fabric bed.
@TheFattyMcCoy, will take a look at the Jadam thanks. Have you come across anyone using KNF/Jadam in a hydroponic set up? Be interested to try if possible.
Don't use hair straighteners they won't have the power needed to create rosin imo. That looks like a good yeild and why are you drying in a box? Can you not use the grow area? That's the best place for them. My orange bud are in flower now and FINALLY making buds, 14 weeks in I've got about another 7-8 weeks to go with those lol
@Indicate, nothing wrong with drying in the box, done it myself loads of times. I prefer to hang dry them these days. Obviously that's only if you have the space available.
@HappyWeeds, yes a bit longer curing will help hopefully. Though out tomorrow night after trying to make hash for first time so I’ll be all over the hay then.
