She is shaping up nicely! I’ll have to grow one of these beauties! 👌

We are the 15th of august 2023
fertigated once 0.33ml/L A&B canna coco
and 0.33ml/L calmag
input pH 6.16
input EC 919
input ppm 459
output pH 6.88
output EC 798
output ppm 399
and still calmag foliar spray
Day 9:
We are the 16th of august 2023
fertigated once 0.33ml/L A&B canna coco
and 0.33ml/L calmag
input pH 6.11
input EC 999
input ppm 450
output ppm 404
output pH 6.82 (pH is finally getting down!)
output EC 808
did calmag foliar spray too, noticed a tip of a cotyledon getting brown/rusty though, but I guess that's totally fine since it's not a leaf, it's supposed to fall.
I received and successfully installed the inline fan, looking and being awesome, brought down my 35C to 30 then 28C pretty quick and my plant is now thriving.
Noticed some cool growth as you can see from the pics
Day 10:
We are the 17th of august 2023
fertigated once using 0.4ml/L Canna COCO A&B and 0.4ml/L CalMag, no foliar spray for now.
input pH 6.3
input EC 958
input ppm 480
output pH 7.4 (WTFFFFFF???, gonna keep pH at 6.00 for now, it's not such a big problem since I'm fertigating every day)
output EC 930
output ppm 465
upped the ppfd by just a little bit
Some interesting growth I've seen from other gelato cookies grows, diagonal pair set of leaves is being worked on by the plant
Day 11:
We are the 18th of august 2023
Did not water today! Just wanted to see how it reacted to no watering for at least a day, and it did well.
Day 12
We are the 19th of august 2023
fertigated once using distilled water and this time really 0.5ml/L calmag (so 0.75ml in my 1.5L bottle) and 0.70-0.75ml/L canna coco A&B (1.125ml in my 1.5L bottle)
input ph 6.16
input EC 586 (switched to distilled water instead of tap water!! Huge change.)
input ppm 293
input temp 31.2C
output pH 7.38
output EC 686
output ppm 343
Let's see how the distilled water and increased concentration of nutes does to the plant.
The picture of today is after fertigation
Day 13
We are the 20th of august 2023,
I didn't water today as I felt it was a bit overwatered
Day 14
We are the 21st of august 2023,
Today I realized my juice mix was flaky so I replaced it with a fresh one and put all my nutes in a cool and dark room.
I watered just until 10-20% runoff
using 0.5ml/L calmag and 0.75ml/L canna coco A&B each
input pH 6.35
input EC 557
input ppm 278
output pH 7.38
output EC 654
output ppm 327

Grow Questions
Dufftwtstarted grow question a year ago
My tap water is at 700EC (very hard), and I add nutes normally until around 1000EC, which gives little room for nutes, if I replace with distilled water, can I go up to 1000EC with it ? (gonna be a LOT more nutes).

My tap water is around 300-350ppm or 0.6-0.7EC I will mix my feeds up in it and have no ill effects. its on the lower end of hard water if you place it on a scale vs others.
Hardness of the water is not judged by its PPM count but more so how much of the mineral content is calcium and magnesium. Other things can influence the EC of water but not make it hard.
Distilled waster will have many more available nutirents vs tap water when both are at a EC of 1.0 or 500PPM if using the 500 scale.
If tap is .7 that only leave .3 of fertilizer to make 1.0EC
but 1.0EC in distilled "0.0" is 3.333 times stronger as theirs no base charge like in tap water "0.7", and with liquid fertilizers they are totally available to the plants where tap water has compounds that will not affect the plants right away as they need to be broken down first. So you could run the risk of overfeeding in that setting.
Best Of Luck!
Dufftwtstarted grow question a year ago
I remarked that my plant grows much faster when I leave a day in between feeds, but that's not applicable to every plant, and I want a sure way of knowing exactly when my plant needs water(using coco coir/perlite, I'll answer more in replies as there's a limit of chars here)

watering is reactive... you react to the outcome.
you are soilless so it's even simpler.
fertilize every single irrigation around 1.3-1.5 EC. ratio/balance is obviously key, so you'll have to work that out over time.. observe and adjust.
in coco, wait for top layer to start changing colors, and it's a good time to fertilize again. If the plant drinks fast, more frequent fertigation is possible and you do realize additional growth from that method. I'd suggest forming a good baseline doing it a safe and conservative way first, then you can more easily assess whether any risks of doing it are worth it or not.
you need at least 33% loss of water weight before you fertigate again or you'll just drown the roots or increase risk of infecion in roots. i wouldn't do this early on in life. a larger more mature plant or as you go into bloom, sure. I'd rather i grow my roots early on in a way that makes them grow deep and aplenty. roots follow moisture in a reactive way. you get fewer superficial roots (at surface they become useless if exposed to light) by having a good wet-dry cycle. the top will always dry first.
if you want to do multiple fertigations a day or water when the pot is only lost 33% of the water you previously gave (can feel the weight to judge), wait until the plant is a bit more mature or flip to bloom.
growth is a curve. it's slow at first. these sort of things help, but not nearly as much later one. it's worth the small loss for improved root growth early.
Dufftwtstarted grow question a year ago
There's chlorosis between the veins and red stemming, indicating a magnesium deficiency, however both calmag and alot of epsom salt (EC is within target dw) were used to fix the deficiency and it seems to still be progressing, is this lockout ? more info in the answer to this

Could be lockout, to help identify your deficiency issues I recommend reading this blog https://futureharvest.com/blogs/articles/how-to-identify-cannabis-nutrient-deficiencies?_pos=1&_sid=f81d0e725&_ss=r
Because symptoms often progress even after applying a curative approach I'd just make sure you are following your nutrient schedule keeping EC around 1.2-1.5 or so and maybe go easy on the epsom salt. Often times its a good idea to flush the media of nutrients with alot of water and then just introduce calmag to your regular feeding schedule. Lockout can occur too when a plant's environment, watering regimen and temperatures are out of whack. Coco coir can be slow draining so make sure it dries out before each watering. Hope this helps! -Bryce from Future Harvest Nutrients

@James, Thanks a lot man! This is for sure gonna be an awesome grow, this is one of the most resistant strains I've come across somehow and I just love it so much. How long do you recommend for veg/flower for this strain ? I want a decent yield from this girl

Questions: did you use a dome or baggie for the humidity at all? Of so for how long should I cover my seedling for, it's about 2-3 weeks old now, do I still need to cover it? Mostly growing on my windowsill but I have lights too. But does it still need a cloche?
