HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Note, this diary doesn’t let me specify the use of General Hydroponics Flora Series, but that is the nutrient line I am using, along with their Liquid Koolbloom and Diamond Nectar. I like their products. I’m not paid or reimbursed in any way.
Starting to see the beginning of nutrient burn on one plant. Planning to back off the nutes slightly and add straight water to the reservoirs tomorrow. I flushed pots between veg and flower modes, and I’m hoping that’s the last needed flush. I do plan to fade nutrients before harvest, but I’d like to feed them for three more weeks at least without risking nutrient burn.
They are actively drinking .7 gallons each per day.
Pistils are starting to darken and curl into the buds, but still plenty of white pistils. Not ready to start scoping the trichomes yet since it’s still too early.
Tuesday: Fed water with CalMag and liquid Koolbloom at 5.8ph. Skipped the fertilizer this round. After adding water, the reservoirs read a ppm of 950 and ph of 5.8.
Thursday: photographed trichomes. Nowhere near ready yet, but cloudier than I expected them to be.
Friday: Turned off the infra red lights. They continue to get UV light exposure 4x times per day in 20 minute increments.
Saturday: topped off with water, but not using as much water as usual
Monday; End of week 7 of flower. Today added .5 gallons of nutrient solution to top off reservoirs. They are quickly slowing down their water intake. Mixed Nutrients at 5.8 ph and 1050 ppm. Leaves showing no signs of over feeding or salt buildup at the root zone. I really like these self watering pots. I plan to run them again next time. The Liquid Koolbloom definitely stopped that Phosphorous deficiency. Leaves looking healthy.
@@Hankster, Yeah i understand the issue. I tried a few things for increasing humidity. Ranging from wet cloth to a humidifier. In the end i think a humidifier is a great investment for having a controlled range of humidity. All others methods were either spiking or just missed the desired humidityrange.🤔 I ,on my side, always struggle with temperatures because my lights heat up my tent quite a lot. But i think thats a big part of the journey: to find out how you can manipulate your environment to get the desired marks. 🌱🍀
@Herbie101, thank you! I’d like to figure out a way to increase my humidity more….but I’m not in a tent (this is in a closet). Your germination setup is even better IMO….you are giving me some new ideas. Thanks again.
@@Hankster, nice. I just chopped a few of mine. I've used the same AC infinity pots and still use them on some of my plants.
Just be sure to check the reservoir as mineral/salt build up can occur and without checking and scrubbing/cleaning it you wouldn't really notice until the plants show you lol.
Other than that I do like them.
Also, you can use the wick rope and put the wick around a stalk and the other side into a water source and it will work it that way as well for those who don't have autopots.
@Dabking, thank you. The LA Peyote Kush was nice harvest and a decent smoke. Looking forward to trying these Zkitzz soon. Maybe 2-3 weeks away from harvest.
Thanks! I’ve been paying close attention and even checking leaves with the microscope…not seeing any bugs fortunately. Thanks for the heads-up though as it reminded me to be mindful.
Wow man really impressed with how this grow is going, you've really covered everything 🌱 good luck with it I'll be checking back in on this one, they're looking good 💪🌿 I'm gonna do my first bit of LST tomorrow the time has come 😊
@@mcelligrow, thanks for the kind words!
Good luck with your LST tomorrow…..definitely worth it! I’ll be doing some trimming this weekend to get them ready for training too.
@BudBoutique, thank you for the kind words! I’ve made a few mistakes with this grow (especially the branch bending clips), but they’ll live through my abuse.
Best of luck with your grows too….they look beautiful!!
