Decided to give both ladies a diluted feed, runoff PPM got down to around 300, so just to ensure that some of the other trichomes finish off in this last week, I gave the measurements above in 1.5 gallons of dechlorinated water.
Both ladies have done a fine job of putting on some weight as well as trichomes turning mainly frosty. I did see a handful of amber on the Strawberry Cheesecake, her main cola also needed to be supported as it was trying to bend out of the pot so to speak. The Northern Lights has faded into one beautiful looking lady.
Sticking to my plan on harvesting on day 90, which would be day 90 from seed. So both cultivars are running nearly right on time. π
Can't wait to swap the dehumidifier out for the A/C unit.
Lookin juicy. Keep it up, almost there. Good call on ignoring that dude. I did some of the things he mentioned (not per his advice) and saw nothing but problems. Any βproblemsβ your plants are displaying arenβt even problems. Iβm psyched to see your first harvest πͺ
@WatercanWampa, Thanks! I've been having some issues lately that seem to be turning around with my 1st feeding. I am definetly dedicated to these ladies.
Plants look great for a first grow. Good job. Enjoy the flowers from your labor. Only thing I seen you might wanna watch for in future grows. When your leaf tips turned brown, and curled up and in. This is nutrition burn. In you case I think it was probably not enough irrigation when you fed them. The substrate likely had some build up from old nutrition, which caused the burning. I have done the same thing myself before. A good way to monitor it is to test the ph of your run off. Anyway, just hopefully a helpful observation. Again, awesome 1st grow. ππ»π
@Roberts, My media also contains dolomite lime, so I'm thinking that's countering the pH drop while still seeing a high TDS? I'm clearly no expert but sounds like it makes sense. I also ran a feed/feed/flush schedule, which in my next run I think I prefer the feed/flush. I appreciate the feedback and agree.
@B_Content,just trying to help your next grow be that much better is all. Good luck. Usually the high tds sends the ph down a lot is why I say what I did. π±ππ»
@Roberts, Thanks growmie. I actually agree with you 100% I believe it started in week 3. I actually had to pay more attention to my runoff TDS compared to my runoff pH. Not sure if it was the meter or what, but my pH never deviated more than .5 wound up calibrating a completed different TDS and pH pens and pH was still in range, while TDS on the otherhand was ridiculously high. Finally got a watering amount and frequency down. Thanks for stopping by!
