The third is for the outdoors. Leaving it to be abused by the elements. (yes, as a test)
I have a photo strain which I have created a separate journal for while will reside in the same space as these autos.
Oi, it's gonna get crowded in here!
This time I am going to be using the AC Infinity 3x3 Trellis, hopefully I can dunk them all with no problem.
Had to do the weekly humidifier cleaning, slimy pink mold accumulation on the inside of the base. Rectified with heavy bleach dilution. dropped light from 37" to 26" and adjusted the ppfd to 240.
Fed for week 4 of HWG Cheat Sheet for Autos - Noticed some new pest damage from probably the resident spider in my room. I can't see any other signs of pest damage or any signs of webs, minor travel webs from a resident spider. i think it could be living in the ceiling tiles. I forgot to add terpinator but i will next feed. topped after feeding at the fifth node.
noticing new blotches. no signs of pests, again.. flushing from general nutrients for a week due to extreme nitrogen excess. - 4 days into this week, it began flowering on it's own. my last run, i had to MANUALLY flip. these are doing flowering while my photos can continue on with their second top for the mainline, one more top for the photos and ill let it veg some more and flip the tent to flower.
Today I swapped the BloomPlus1500 light out with the ACE500 for better par coverage. Resume feed for week 6 of HWG auto cheat sheet. 6.3pH 1600ppm in.
5 days into this week, I decided to flush 1 gallon of water for runoff and test. I'm 5400PPM on both plants with about 1-2cups of runoff measured at 5.6pH - Pictures outlining excess in lower leaves.
final pot weights are 12lbs and 14lbs respectively when full of water. they weigh 8oz without water.
flushed with 4 gallons each to 6.5pH and 600ppm. They will look a little worse for wear but it's for the best right? minor defoliation for site lighting. too tired to update the pics
one is 17" tall - 27" from light
two is 30" tall - 17" from light
(ahh inconsistency.. the beauty of autos)
started dunking today with 6 gallons of chlorine filtered tap water
Lighting hours are finally changing to 12/12 tonight to compensate for the mainlined photos in the tent beginning bloom. lucky for me as well my APERA PH60 died from being submerged for 5 minutes stuck at a -2.00pH - they dont want to RMA because their product literally says waterproof that's the only reason i bought it over another brand. marketing fraud. they told me to dry out my mobo for 24h and then see if it works, maybe they will honor my warranty, bought it in feb of this year. already my second probe dead. dont recommend apera at this time.
pre ppm was 351 with a pH of 8.0
post ppm was 2350 with a pH of _mystery because of apera's questionable product quality
one runoff ppm's were 2280 with a pH of _mystery because of apera's questionable product quality
two runoff ppm's were 2310 with a pH of _mystery because of apera's questionable product quality
fed for week 8 referencing HWG's Cheat Sheet for Autos.
feed pH was 6.5 and 2200ppm
runoffs for both were 2250ppm and 6.5pH ??? good guess work last week...
next watering will be a dunk flush. thanks again to Apera Instruments for the strange runoffs due to their IP67 claim being scamvertisement. Anyways, they said my next unit will not be covered by warranty if it fails again. Bought in Feb, still hasn't been a whole year. Major PSA.
Since Apera lies to us directly about IP67.. Can you name a few brand pH meters that stand by their IP67 certification? I was looking at Milwaukee. Preferably under . Wrong opinions only.
This is the best one I've ever had a chance of using. I don't own it personally but have used air works great.
PH700 Benchtop pH Meter Kit, with 3 in 1 Combination pH Electrode
just buy some cheap 100pk of strips that resolve 0.5pH. should last years. how often are you testing ph?
if hydro/soilless and thenutes aren't ph-buffered, you should try a different brand and avoid the whole problem 99.99% of the time. it'll be so consistent you don't even have to test often. i test before germinating.. that's about it nowadays.
Flush with 450ppm and 6.5pH yielding the results of
19" short: 1516ppm with 6.8pH
31" tall: 850ppm with 6.78pH
Resume feed next week. Worried about lockout. PPFD raised from 450 to 770 (turned dimmer from 25% to 50% for the first time)
used mosquito bits 1.5cups
resume feed for week 9+ of HWG cheat sheet for autos. kinda feel bad for them.
nute solution ppm of 2095 with a ph of 6.27
runoffs yielding these results
short: 2318ppm with 6.37ph
tall: 2324ppm with 6.34pH
probably flush and chop time. the shorter one clearly isn't taking nutes all that well. I will elevate it after this feed and we'll see if it can catch up even a little. I'm going to chop sooner than later this run because i'm unhappy with the results of the runt. i realize ive been taking uS measurements not ppm .. so uh. live and learn? read ppm as uS from here to beginning. from next feed onwards it will be labelled correctly as ppm but these past measurements have probably been all in uS because im a fucking idiot and we all make mistakes right? would explain the issues ive been having.
they havent really taken well to being dunked as they are still a tiny bit wet but not as dry as the photos got. i think i need to cool it with the dunking frequency. probably root dieback, as the roots may have broken at one point while dunking. (probably causing more issue due to me not elevating the plants off the saucers too) one of the tall ones very bottom leaves was turning white from being so pale, others started to pale after flushing. elevated the runt with the probreeze box on its side. negligible heist.
using 5 gallons as opposed to 6 like i normally have.
runoffs:
tall: 694pH and 6.5ppm
short: 1560pH and 6.6ppm
flush on the little, i harvested the big n tall one. it's finally finished!! im thrilled! no pics for the little this time. it's so so ugly. haha.
runoffs on little: 700ppm and 6.7pH
flushing little again, it's pretty dark still.. I'm gonna top water 1 gallon instead to push any excess salts down. if necessary, again.
two gallons are prepared and diluted into each other until they hit 6.45pH (is this something people do? i just decided to try it)
Ran through 1.4 gallons roughly top dress with a showerhead style spout. Out of a quart measured I ran 1.7EC (840ppm .5 scale). and 6.3 pH...
Hopefully I can feed next watering, but may be yet another flush. What are your thoughts on this leaf-trocity? (rosa: leaf me alone!)
Flushed anotehr 6.5 through and got 600ppm and 6.45pH as a result.
gonna resume feed next week or chop. whatever seems more probable. here's pics of the buds now, now i dont care i'll be smoking amber, or will i ever. i love cbn. i LOVE IT
it's looking super hungry and after doing a trich check i'm deciding to feed once more. maybe again next week. it's got some amber but more clear than milk. it's a lost cause at this point i guess. decided to test 30ml/g as stated on product label for terpinator. and have been doing 10ml/g before this "test"
out 6.4ph 1111ppm
after not being happy on how it was on week 13, i decided to push it this far. I'm more satisfied than i was, but I remain disappointed in apera instruments for screwing me over on IP67 warranty promise. They said after this replacement they wont do it again. total bs.
