Starting week 6 of flower on Saturday. This Lemonade Haze is a 9-10 week strain according to Ganja Farmer.
I’m lowering the ph of my feed from 6.3 to 5.8 today. Feedback from another grower indicates that my ph may be too high at 6.3 in coco loco. Hope to see an improvement in potassium uptake. I have a few leaves with burnt edges, which could be caused by bad ph. It could also be that these girls need a flush, but these GroBuckets don’t appear to have any method of flushing. I’m seeing this symptom on both plants in my tent (different strains….same nutrients).
The GroBuckets remain the easiest method of growing that I have tried. I’m simply filling the bottom reservoir every day and they feed from the bottom. I’m also using coco coir (I usually grow in soil), so some of these leaf issues I’m seeing could be the result of my inaccurate feeding. Or….I have a salt buildup that’s starting to cause problems. The next few weeks should tell me if I have a salt buildup issue.
I also added homemade Terpinator to the feed. I’m not “sold” that it adds any value…..but it’s cheap to make and some experienced growers seem to recommend it.
Friday: Closing out journal for flower week 6. This is a 9-10 week strain according to Ganja Farmer seeds, so I’m 3-4 weeks away I’m guessing. I’m also seeing the start of some foxtailing….likely due to intense lighting and growing too close to the LED.
@yan402, thank you! I’m not real happy with these crunchy leaves, but the buds are looking good. I think she would have benefitted from a flush if it were possible in these GroBuckets.
