===== 10/1 Veg Week 6 Day 1 (53) =====
Had a bit of wrangling to do after being out of town for a few days. I might have flipped to bloom if all three plants in the tent were the size of ATF, but as it is I think I will go another week. I plan to do my first big defoliation session tomorrow, then let them recover before flipping next week.
For today’s rez swap I switched to using HWG feed chart with the only difference being that I added 0.5ml/gal orca instead of the h2o2. My water stopped part way thru the rez swap for a bit so my meter didn’t get the count. I just used 40 gal as my estimate but in hindsight I probably should have used 35 or 36. Oops.
I calculated the amounts of each nutrient I needed to add by making 1 gallon of veg juice, which measured 3550 PPM. I made an assumption that it would mix linearly and calculated I would need ~282% of the gallon for 40 gallons of water to reach the target 258 (which includes +8 from the water). I’m not entirely sure it will mix linearly but it made sense to me since it is parts-per-million. I will track the PPM reading of the next couple days to see how close I was.
40 gal water 🤷🏻
62 ml silica
113 ml micro
34 ml grow
45 ml bloom
56 ml diamond nectar
20 ml orca
I’m not entirely sure I put diamond nectar in but I am not gonna worry about it since it is optional. I’ll try to be less exhausted next rez swap 🙂
===== 10/2 Veg Week 6 Day 2 (54) =====
Lollipopped/defoliated MW. I took off most of MW’s brown leaves and she’s a bit sparse.
===== 10/3 Veg Week 6 Day 3 (55) =====
Daily scrog maintenance: try to move tops to their own square. Tuck down fan leaves.
===== 10/4 Veg Week 6 Day 4 (56) =====
Some stretching and tucking. Added 1g epsom salt to a gallon of RO water and then added it to the system. The PH was drifting downwards so I added some PH UP.
===== 10/5 Veg Week 6 Day 5 (57) =====
Scrog maintenance and light defol removing the largest most annoying fan leaves so they don’t block nodes. Also removed some of the browner leaves from MW.
MW has presented some new nute/stress signs. New light brown spots, as well as bright green in the middle of leaves.
Magnesium deficiency? Or just continued fallout from nute burn?
===== 10/6 Veg Week 6 Day 6 (58) =====
Scrog maintenance. Continued defoliation attempts, removing ugly leaves and anything that is blocking light to nodes.
===== 10/7 Veg Week 6 Day 7 (59) =====
Scrog maintenance.
Following along as Waui Wowie was an old favorite, friend's older brother who lived on the islands would share some of the good stuff. Looks like a nice even canopy with lots of bud sites. Great job and best of luck.
