Sweet Mango Auto DWC

stonedkoala Keeping her in the dome for a week & only giving her water at 5.8 pH (at first distilled then regular tap) 18/6 light schedule

stonedkoala - Hydroponic setup using Active Aqua 5 gal bucket with 2 added air pumps for root health - On 4/30, seedling is transferred to bucket of hydroton - Filled bucket with 4-4.5 gallons of tap water with a pH of 5.8 only receiving hydroguard

stonedkoala - First round of veg nutes; keeping it light & mild ~ - Bucket is filled with 4.5 gal of water to reach roots; will lower amount of water as the plant and roots get bigger

stonedkoala - 2nd round of veg nutes; double the amount from last week & slightly upping cal mag - Keeping humidity at ~55-65% and temp between 70-80 when lights are on and 60-70 at night (lights off)

stonedkoala - 3rd round of veg nutes; doubling last weeks and upping cal mag from 2.5 to 3 - Bucket has 3.75 gal of water in it - First defoliation. Learned I should have cut more bottom leaves since I ended up doing that down the line anyway - Trying to keep humidity between 55-65%

stonedkoala - Bucket filled with 3.5 gal - More defoliation, focusing on large bottom leaves

stonedkoala - Pistils have begun to form - Introducing bloom nutes on 6/9, not a lot at once; ~390 ppm - Bucket filled with 3.5 gal of water - Humidity ranging from 55-65% - More defoliation; I know it doesn't look pretty but I promise she perks up

stonedkoala - Buds starting to form - Repeated last weeks nutes on 6/17 - Bucket filled with 3.5 gal of water

stonedkoala - Stopping veg nutes - 6/23 plant receives nutes; plant started drinking more so had to change bucket 4 days after - now is when I started splitting nutes in half and giving every 3-4 days - Bucket has 3 gal of water - 6/27 bucket change with just cal mag & hydroguard (~207 ppm) - Been having trouble with temp & humidity (always do this time of year) so temp is between

stonedkoala - 3.5 gals in bucket - Splitting nutes in half (0.95 micro, 2.5 bloom, 1.5 calmag, 1 hydro) and feeding every 3-4 days so it gets full nutes over a 7-8 day period - 356 ppm for half nutes - started noticing browning on leaves

stonedkoala - Raised cal mag from 3 to 5 because I thought plant was lacking cal mag - Upped nutes but it may have led to nute burn in the next few weeks (see pics) - ~350-400 ppm for half nutes - buds starting to form nicely

stonedkoala - Upped bloom nutes from 5 to 7.5 - Upped cal mag from 3 to 5 - Bucket has 3.5 gal - Turned blue light down to 10% and red light up to 50-60% - ~480 ppm for half nutes - Still keeping humidity between 55-65% and temp between 76-86 since I can't get it any lower - I think upping the nutes and lights burned the leaves since leaves are still having brown spots

stonedkoala - Lowering nutes for ripening - Bucket has 3.5 gal - Lowered micro nutes from 2 to 0.9, bloom nutes from 7.5 to 2.5, and cal mag from 5 to 2.5. hydro stays the same - Still cutting nutes in half and feeding twice a week, every 3-4 days - Possible light burn?
