Week 2 Update:
I poured some water from my faucet into a 2.5gal bucket and let it set for 24hrs to dispel any chlorine.
Checked the Ph and it was sitting at 8.64. This is to be expected as tap water here is is more basic.
Purchased some CalMag yesterday to add to the nutrient mixture.
The reason I’m adding CalMag is because I noticed a slight yellowing/light green condition on the leaves. I wasn’t really worried because I figured it was due to the fact the seedling is not really a seedling anymore and has most likely used up the nutrients it had in its reserve.
Added Blue Planet Nutrients Grow/Micro/Bloom.
PH’d the solution at 7.21.
Added a little PH Down to knock it down to 6.46 and placed the lid back on.
Thoughts:
I’ve been doing really well so far. My baby’s height is short which is setting a good foundation for the SCRog screen in a few weeks. I have the Fan and Pump running 24/7, but this week I changed the lighting schedule to 18/6 so now the rest period should boost growth even further! The temperature outside is getting cold which means my temp controlled exhaust fan does not need to run as much which saves me money 😉. Also, my theory is that keeping the light on 24/7 for the first week allowed me to keep my baby short so when I add the dark period it won’t stretch as much. Changing the water really sucks so I’m thinking of purchasing a water pump. This will come in handy during flowering when I put the SCRog Net up and on future projects too.
Stay tuned!
Mid - Week Update:
My baby is growing rapidly so I figured it was time to Top. We were up to the fourth node with the fifth emerging, but I took all that down so I can set the first and second sets of side nodes as my SCRog foundation. I left the big 2nd set fan leaves so growth isn’t completely stunted. This baby should bounce back by start of Week 3 which is also the week I’ll week double the nute strength. Check out the pictures!
I've never known that in the last weeks they need less water, unless the temperature drops and they transpire less. As for humidity, during lights out it rises because most of the time the temperature drops during that time. Remember that RELATIVE HUMIDITY varies with temperature, since colder air has a lower due point, as the temporada drops the RH rises.
Looking good my friend . Hope all goes well with the grow. Interested in seeing how your scrog fills. I’m on my first grow trying to scrog. I’ll pull up a chair and follow.
@ROM101, thank you so much! Im not going to lie i read that about the strain too, but so far it looks loke i should have 1 week or 2 left so fingers crossed!
@Reaper, thanks for the suggestion, I’m planning to use a liquid transfer pump to get the water in and of the bucket. I’ll post a picture when I get a chance.
