5/9/2023 Week 5- Day 1 of Flower (Day 96 overall) I couldn't help myself the bottom backs just needed some defoliation today. They had too many sucker buds growing that were lower than the bottom net and would do nothing but suck up the energy from the upper buds. Other than that I just made sure they are maintaining a happy environment and that is it. Hopefully I can let them go on auto pilot more days now. 5/10/2023 Week 5- Day 2 of Flower (Day 97 overall) I looked in and wow, some more defoliation was needed.. LOL!!! took a little more off the top and middle. 5/11/2023 Week 5- Day 3 of Flower (Day 98 overall) I know I said auto pilot but you can't blame me I had to take the blatant offenders out. I defoliated any major offenders blatantly blocking lower bud sites. 5/12/2023 Week 5- Day 4 of Flower (Day 99 overall) Well, I always love a new and interesting problem so I thought it was fascinating at first that the roots have grown so massively this time that they grew up the hump and down into my Res. My PH was off this morning so Opened my Res and the roots were sucked into my water fall pump.. Luckily some water was getting through so it didn't burn my pump up but I had to take action. My first thought and action was to just cut the roots back to where they come into the Res. I cut the roots and cleared them out of the water fall pump hole and then the system dropped so low that the water fall pump was slurping. I turned the pump off and added 10 gallons of water to the system thinking this would balance out the levels now that I had cleared the roots from the pump, I turned it back on and the water left the Res and went out to the system but not enough water was returning to the Res to keep it balanced. The water cleared out of the Res almost all the way Quickly. I put on some gloves got in the tank and pulled the roots all the way back to it's bucket and I wrapped the roots at the bottom to try and keep them from going back in towards the Res. As soon as I did that the Res balanced out with the rest of the system. So I think the roots going into the hump was causing me more issues then I knew, so I am really glad things developed to alert me to pull them back and to keep them that way in the future. Once I cleared the roots and the system balanced I realized that if I had cleared the roots I wouldn't have had to add any extra water to the system. 10 Gallons Added Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 5Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 10Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 5Mil FloraMicro = 5.2Mil/Gal= 52Mil FloraGro= 4.3Mil/Gal= 43Mil FLoraBloom= 6.5Mil/Gal= 65Mil LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 25Mil TPS SIGNAL= 3.0Mil/Gal= 30Mil ORCA = Mil/Gal= 5Mil 5/13/2023 Week 5- Day 5 of Flower (Day 100 overall) Water Change Day! I added 36 Gallons of Water. While the system was draining I was looking and found a few offenders that needed to be defoliated whom were blocking lower bud sites, and I cleaned up a few very small sucker buds trying to form. I added 36 gallons of water Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 4.3Mil/Gal= 155Mil FloraGro= 4.3Mil/Gal= 155Mil FLoraBloom= 6.5Mil/Gal= 234Mil LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil TPS SIGNAL= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Water Temp= 70.1 Tent Temp= 74 Humidity =61 5/14/2022 Week 5- Day 6 of Flower (Day 101 overall) Nothing we sat back and enjoyed Mothers Day! 5/15/2023 Week 5- Day 7 of Flower (Day 102 overall) There were a few sucker buds forming on the lower section that I had to get rid of.
