Second Day Week 5 of Flower: Day 71 So i hope i reached rock bottom and it goes up from here. The ladies look like they've been slaughtered. But i flushed them two days ago with 5l of pure ph'ed water. Because my PH Meter broke on that day i wasn't able to give them nutes in a controlled fashion. New PH Meter is on the way and should be here in a day or two. So biggest question now is: Do i eyeball the ph down for this feeding, which i am quite hesitant to do honestly or do i wait for the ph meter and feed them then? Well damage is done, the fuck up has happened so i guess i wait for the ph meter. Maybe its worse, but at least i'll know i get the meters correct. They still are moist enough so i guess they have to suffer a bit more for a day or two. Sorry ladies! I try my best! Found a workaround for my dilemma: I could get some ph teststrips (for aquariums) and fed the ladies with 1l of nutewater each. Lets see what happens. So Day 71 is the first feeding day of this week. Day 72: After overcoming the shock involved with seeing the girls look so fucked up its time for some notes for my next grow (of course i try to ride this rocky road till the end): - Biobizz says, usually you don't have to adjust the ph when using their fertilizer and i think they are right. Things started to go downhill FAST when i started to give a third of the feeding with plain water. I thought it'd do them good because i diagnosed some burned tips (and i thought it was nute burn). So because my tapwater has a PH in the 8-8.5 range and the nutrient water a way different one, that could be the main reason why they are looking like they are now --> high fluctuation in PH (and plain water ph beeing to high for the soil to buffer) From now on: --> TEST PH (!) Best case i'm gonna check every week when changing according to feed chart. --> Adjust the PH so that every watering is around the same level. Best between (6.5 - 6.8) --> When cutting on fertilizer, give less nutes to the full watering. Don't give them half/half. --> Have some PH Strips around in case of emergency Lots of learning for one week. Remember: The idiot always sits in front of the tent. Day 73: PH Pen arrived yesterday (and some PH strips for emergencies😋) Feeding Day: 1l each (still a bit moist) with a 6.6 PH. The ladies still look rough, but at least they seem not to feel horrible and the rusting has stopped/seems not to get worse. And they smell delicious. Phew! Fingers crossed! Day 75: Still looking like the rusting stopped. There is hope :D Day 76: Feeding Day. 1.5l nutrient water for each. PH 6.6

Elles sont magnifiques !! Elles vont donner de super bourgeons c'est sûr 💥 Pas trop dur d'arroser les plantes du fond ?

@Herbie101, je comprends totalement c'est stressant on ne veut pas faire de bêtises 🤗 J'ai lu que faire une défoliation le jour 21 de floraison était une bonne idée. Apparemment c'est le moment idéal car la plante n'est pas impacté dans sa croissance de début de floraison et la défoliation permet d'éviter la perte d'énergie inutile pour des feuilles en dessous. Et ensuite il suffit d'attendre quelques jours le temps que la plante ne soit plus stressé. (Ceci n'est pas un conseil je suis débutant. Simplement une piste pour aller se renseigner pour les prochaine fois 😉). Tu as bien fais de couper des feuilles de temps en temps. Ça se stresse pas trop la plante et ça permet de ne pas perdre d'énergie 😄

@Togoutouseg, Yeah, i think thats a good strategy! Just to get enough room to get through this grow. I did some defoliation on the bottom, but just the things that did not get full sunlight at all. And for the first 3 Weeks of Flower i picked 1-2 leafs on every plant per day. But i'm hesitant to go full on defoliation, but next run i try to be braver :P But flowering phase just feels like i'm waiting until i fuck up and ruin it😂

@Herbie101, je comprends totalement j'ai le même problème 😅🤣 Mais comme tu dis c'est une bonne leçon. Personnellement je ferai une défoliation du bas de mes plantes 1 semaines avant de lancer la floraison la prochaine fois. Ça sera moins dur de passer avec mon arrosoir 😅 Aujourd'hui j'ai coupé le bas pour que ça soit plus évident et j'ai enlever le filet 😅 En tout cas tes têtes ont bien grossis ça annonce que du bon 😄

@Browncoatgrows, Thank you! I got very lucky because i had no idea what i was doing or what the plants were trying to tell me. 😂 RQS just provided unkillable genetics. Can't wait to grow GCP again with more experience under my belt. I love the taste profile of this strain (maybe because the first homegrown strain always has a special place).

Very nice job for your first grow, she looks green, happy and healthy! I would recommend waiting a week or two to top her until she has a stronger root system, but very nice job and good luck the rest of the way brother!
Herbie101
Herbie101
@Tweezer, Thanks a lot for that advice Brother! That sounds totally reasonable! I'll try that :)

@Herbie101, it is totally up to you, I typically top just below the 5th node, but I wait for her to be pushing her 7th node before topping to allow the roots a little more time to develop before topping. Good luck!
Herbie101
Herbie101
@Tweezer, Thank you so much for the kind words and the good tip! They are working on their fifth node, i planned to top when they are at 6-7 nodes. How do you know when it is the time to top? I only read about counting nodes and answers ranged from third to sixth. That is my approach at the moment.

Excellent notes. I like the detail. When you performed the maintenance flush, did you feed with regular strength nutrients afterwards? With the exception of the final harvest flush, the plants need to be fed again since that flush washes away all available minerals. The rust colored spots might be a Calcium deficiency. Gnat damage typically makes the plant look staved and droopy, which I am not seeing in your photos. I prevent gnats by adding a solution that has Bti cakes (Bacillus Thuringiensis subspecies Israelensis - brand name is Mosquito Dunks) floating in it. Bti is a bacteria that kills gnat larvae, which eat the tips of the roots.

@NegotiatedBubble, Thank you so much! I really like to note my thought process so that i remember where i fucked up. 😋 I flushed them yesterday, during that my ph pen broke (water came in, wtf bluelab?) and now i need to get some ph strips tomorrow to feed them again with a safe ph. But at the moment they don't have any nutes. It totally sucks, but i better let them be without food than eyeballing the feeding. Thank you for the good tip with the Bti Cakes. I'll check if that is available! 🌱 Would you refeed with the full amount as provided in the biobizzchart or go slow and reintroduce slowly?
