I setup my PH automation system.. I will start it running in 24 hours after the system settles in.
Week 6 Day 2 10/29/2023
Going to be interesting.. I left the old monitor in to do a double check behind the new auto PH monitor.. not eh problem is I configured the New one and I am pretty sure that it is more accurate than the previous one I was using but the difference is 5.9 on the new one and 6.19 on the old. So it leaves me to questions if I was always running my PH higher but still just within safe range? or is this one off by that much. Questions, Questions.. But so far it is working I had to make several adjustments to dial in how much of each gets released but right now they are sitting around 5.9
Week 6 Day 3 10/30/2023
Worked on adjusting the auto PH system and I think I will need to change out some of the gear to make it work better.. Right now the suction/ flow rate has to be up to high in order to get the Up or down out of the Containers and the UP kicks on before the Down has a chance to settle.. I would have hoped there is a steady reading for X seconds before it starts the other.. but there isn't it is automatically kicking off the Up even while it is still adjusting from adding Down.
Week 6 Day 4 10/31/2023
Today I did nothing but take some pics.. Nice day.. the experiment of the PH auto system is a bust as of right now.. the range is out of what I want.. and it keeps immediately kicking off without giving the water time to balance.. since this is a res system which the water moves.. not the best.. it doesn't have a wait time before release more.. and it keeps releasing even after it starts reading in range.. so it drops it lower than it should.. I could probably dilute the PH up and Down and make it a little more effective.. but not sure what I want to do at this point.

Week 6 Day 7 11/03/2023
I had to re-super crop two branches at a lower node to bring them back down they had grown up and hit the light again. I had to empty the dehumidifiers out but that was pretty much it.. She seems to be happy happy and growing well..
@Josephmother, Thank you.. looking a lot better than the last grow.. I caught a little bit of root rot early on and had to cut it out.. so a lot happier this time around..
The Floraflex killed the Orca, I was told at the Hydro shop that it wouldn't kill the Orca but I noticed every time within a day or 2 I would see a ton of floaters in my water and I wanted to know what was going on, I contacted the company and they told me directly that yes it will kill all bacteria good and bad.. even if you put in second.. it is either clean environment or a Beneficial Bacteria Environment.
@SolitudeCorners, THank you.. I still have a lot of work to go to make the auto PH work, I need better equipment all around to make to try and make it work.
@BudBoutique, Hey BudBoutique I did get to smoke some, and I really like the flavor of Red Rhino, a real grapefruit taste.. However it was difficult to grow and a low turn out. So right now I am breeding it with the Black African Magic and will see what I get.
Wow buddy!! super nice budsย
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done ๐ค
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks ๐ฑ
