I have some updates on my Gaza plants. They are growing very quickly and have started to blossom. To promote better air circulation in the tent, I have installed a new fan. Additionally, I have increased the watering frequency and added extra nutrients for the plants. I have a 10L tank where I dissolve the "easy bloom" fertilizer and two drops of the Vitamins+Amminoacids from RQS. I will continue watering the plants daily for the next ten days, before switching to a new 10L tank for the following ten days. After that, I won't use any more fertilizers to prepare for harvesting. I was contemplating trimming some of the bigger leaves, but I am not confident enough to attempt it. Instead, I have repositioned the leaves to allow more sunlight to reach the buds. I also had to adjust the filter and light height because the main bud was getting too close to the light. Although I have done this, the bud still seems too close, and I need to find a way to move the light higher to prevent burning. I have increased the light intensity from 75% during the vegetative stage to 100% now, causing higher temperatures and lower humidity. However, I am maintaining the tank with the water inside to allow for evaporation. Unfortunately, the pH level is still high, higher than it has ever been.
I saw that in the 7 week you showed a ph reading of 9.5 if that reading is true your ph is way way to high and is the cause of the driying process you are experiencing.
Have a nice grow mate
Thanks for your comment. I did some research and I finally decided to re-calibrate the tool. Now i have measured it again and the ph is 7.6. Now the dryness might be explained by two factors: light exposure and/or excess of nutrients. I will not add nutrients as i will have to harvest in a couple of weeks, light cannot be places in a higher position unfortunately. Will try lst next time :)
My Orion was also quite slow in the beginning, because I kept it outdoors in September and the first half of October. But it grew to 80cm within the first three weeks of flowering, so no need to worry!
