Fri Jan 13 - watered the plants with PH'd water plus, RapidStart, CannaMax Silica, CalMag, Flora Micro, Grow & Bloom & Koolbloom
- The plants are now taking the full gambit of nutrients. I'll be keeping an eye for nutrient toxicity of the next couple of days
to ensure that it wasn't an overdose.
- I have decided to follow the aggressive feeding chart by General Hydroponics based on my experience in the past.
- in the past, I've found that my plants, both photoperiod and autoflower, have taken the aggressive feeding charts amout
and I've even doubled the amounts at times and never saw nutrient toxicity, just nutrient deficiencies. I'll scale it back if
I need to
-The plants all look amazing. You can already see that it is now in the early flowering stage. You can see the very beginning
of buds. I know that I noticed the beginning of buds earlier in the week. This may be because the plants spent an extra week
in the seedling stage due to the fiasco that I went through.
Tue Jan 17 - I defoliated the plants, but just a bit as the last harvest where I over-defoliated, I caused a plant to herm and some of my
bud got some seeds.
- I watered the plants with PH'd water with RapidStart, CannaMax Silica, Diamond Nectar, CalMag, Flora Micro, Grow, Bloom and
Koolbloom
- So far, there are no signs of deficiencies or toxicities.
- One thing I noticed as soon as I opened the tent before I defoliated the plants was that the leaves were drooping a lot
- I feel that it may have been due to lack of water. I will check on the plants 1 day prior to the scheduled feeding to see if
I need to do it a day earlier.
- I totally forgot to take PPM measurements so I'll do that next feeding. I'm going to take PPM measurements of every nutrient
and chart them so I know what each nutrient contributes.
- Once I have that PPM data, I may increase the nutrients as every grow, I've had to do that.
