I had a busy week. I updated my 4" exhaust fan to a Cloudline 6" booster exhaust fan and a bigger carbon filter. I also added another mini-fan that can oscillate and I had to add a heater. Why you ask? Because I got a CO2 tank from a friend and it is recommended to have temps in between 85-95 degrees. Granted I could have used it three weeks ago but better late than never. I have a nice CO2 monitor inside the chamber and I use the internal video camera to watch the readings. I have also added some HydroGuard to help the roots. They are slightly brown and another grower recommended it. Daphni continues to grow well and has maintained her dark green color. She has also started to make pistils and they are starting to form into buds just three days after first pistil sighting. I can smell her now too. latest readings are Air Temp = 79F, Humidity = 42%, PPM = 1810, pH = 5.9. Concerning my roots, I put a black trash bag over the top of the reservoir to keep as much light out as possible. The reservoir is tan and white and I think light was getting thru.

I think you know what to do whith the leaf. But MAAn what a nice Growchamber, you may tell us something about those, would be interersting for us. Please be so kind and give a detailed description of the content of your Hydroponics growchamber. I am totally impressed. and some things you can only see on Growdiaries. Iam interested in Hydroponics but i dont dare to start. well however happy growing

I have been flowering for three weeks and small buds are forming. Can I defoliate a certain percentage of small leaves now or is it to late to worry about it? There are also very small amount of white powder on leaves.

Its not too late at all to defoliate. Some people will defoliate before the 12/12 flip to open up budsites and create less shaded spots, and then do an additional defoliation after the flip. If you chose to defoliate it probably will still help the budsites since youre only 3 weeks into flower, but it'll also help bring your humidity down...less canopy..less moisture being generated by the foliage. If you take a small % first 10-15% you can always take away more, so id start small..evaluate the difference then clip more if you feel needed. Happy Flowering and love the grow box ✌️

I am about three weeks away from harvesting and have used the maximum nutrient solution for the past 5 weeks. Should I start using less nutrients for the final weeks up until i just use water for 4 to 5 days to flush them?

Wow 2000 PPM, that's some strong solution, I'm amazed your plants didn't burn. To answer your question, yes I would reduce the nutes prior to the flush, specially since your leaves are really dark green.

in hydro you do not want to stop giving nutes weeks before harvest, look up the flush times on hydro : they are very short ! which is great to get the trykes just right 👌 hope this helps ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, I was wondering if there was a difference between hydro and soil. I will research. Thanks for the advice.

If you want to save yourself a huge headache, go out and get some hydroguard asap and put it into your basin, it will turn around your browning roots. It will battle root rot with high temps. This is only my 2 cents, but I want to impart the knowledge of this product onto you before it's too late, as some other grower on here did for me. Good luck with your grow!

boss......................sorry to say............ur roots r dead.....................change water frequently and f...... hydroguard
MaryJaneUSA

@CommanderCannabis, frequent change is considered once a week. Limit is once every two weeks. Some people will call that “pushing the limits”. Although your roots may look like that, but if your plants are doing fine, then I wouldn’t worry too much.

@CRiSPrGrow, I have a new video which shows the CO2 setup I added and the new 6" exhaust fan. It also shows the power strip in the back and how I have it organized. The RainForest 66 Reservoir stopped working the other day but I installed a 40gal air pump and stone to the water and that fixed my problem.

Hi @CommanderCannabis! If you're talking about the sugar leaves onto/close to bud-sites, I won't touch them until harvest, you may harm the buds and they're useful to the photosynthesis process. If you're talking about the old fan leaves on the main stem, then go ahead, especially if these are creating shades on lower bud-sites or if you think the airflow inside the plant is not sufficient. In order not to shock the plant, do it slightly, and only remove 3~4 leaves at a time, then see how it goes after a day or two. Now about your powdery mildew issue, it's too late to spray anything, but you can treat with the organic product of your choice (milk, neem oil, garlic, vinegar) using a sponge, apply delicately on the leaves and make sure you don't touch the bud-sites with the sponge. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

@Stick, Thanks for the advice. I removed most of the old fan leaves and that opened up more area for light to get to the lower buds. The spots on my leaves were actually small sawdust from when I drilled a hole for the CO2 hose. I covered the Daphni when I drilled but I guess some was floating around. All the leaves were wiped clean and look good.

nice diary with great information loving the cabinet setup I would remove the older bigger fan leaves which are blocking the bud sites or if u feel some nodes are too far down and won't receive adequate light you could strip them so she can focus more on the tops

@CRiSPrGrow, I started using HydroGuard two weeks ago and yesterday I started using Hygrozyme. Even though the roots look brown Daphni has so far showed no signs of a nutrient deficency or lack of growth. Knock on wood. Of course I change out my reservoir every week but for a time about four weeks ago her water temp was running high (low 80s) and that could have been the cause of my root problem in the first place. Thanks for asking.
