===== 9/17 Veg Week 4 Day 1 (39) =====
Tucked some fan leaves on ATF to expose nodes. The plan right now is to let each of her 4 “main” nodes grow 2-3 nodes and then top her and try to clone them and then flip one for pollen.
===== 9/18 Veg Week 4 Day 2 (40) =====
Tucked ATF.
===== 9/19 Veg Week 4 Day 3 (41) =====
There is some foam in my hydroponics system. I’m debating a couple options: adding more orca, sterilizing with root drip or h2o2, or rez swapping.
ATF was also flattened a bit and tucked. She has real big fan leaves.
Evening: HWG helped me diagnose MW as most likely having a phosphorus deficiency. That combined with the foam led to a rez swap. Since my RO reservoir hasn’t been set up and filled yet, I used tap water treated with dechlorinator again. I plan to have RO ready for the next swap on Sunday. I did the same nutrient composition as the last swap but raised the rez to right under the net pots:
43 gallons water
22 ml dechlorinator
22 ml tps silica
32 ml CALiMAGic
181 ml FloraMicro
163 ml DynaGro Grow
129 ml FloraBloom
22 ml Orca
43 ml PH down
===== 9/20 Veg Week 4 Day 4 (42) =====
LST on ATF.
===== 9/21 Veg Week 4 Day 5 (43) =====
No training today.
I installed a float valve supplied by a line from my RO so I don’t have to replace the water manually in the humidifier anymore. I plan to drop a few ml of h2o2 into the humidifier every couple of days.
===== 9/22 Veg Week 4 Day 6 (44) =====
I topped ATF today.
I’m attempting to clone the ATF cuttings. I realized when I opened my container of CloneX that I bought the solution instead of gel, but we will see how it works out. After clipping the cuttings off, I cut them at a 45deg angle with a razor blade and dipped them in the solution then put them into my cloning machine. I put 40/ml of the solution into the approximately 2-2.5 gallons of RO water that was in the machine. I set them in my second tent with 150 ppfd lighting.
===== 9/23 Veg Week 4 Day 7 (45) =====
Only light training today: moving stems away from budsites.
The plants continue to show many different signs of deficiencies. I’ve checked and rechecked the ph levels, so I’m lead to believe the issue is either overwatering or too many nutrients. I have lowered the water 2 inches like it was before to prevent the rooters from becoming soaked, and plan to cut the nutrients in half at tomorrow’s regularly scheduled feeding (except calmag which I will keep the same since I’m switching to RO water).
