First Grow AF

Start of week 3 of flower. Week 8 above ground. Rachel is coming along nicely I think?! Some challenges showing up keeping the ph in line. Always tending to have slightly more acidic runoff than I’d like. Will continue to try to dial in and hope that solves some of the lead issues I’ve noticed on a few leaves of each plant. Watering once every 4 days or so. Almost halfway through week 3 and my poor Rachel could be looking better. I believe she’s showing signs of the effects of me not having a great handle on the ph and let it drift too low. I tried a rinse with ph-ed water, runoff started showing about 6.2 moving in right direction. Trying my hand a foliar feed of cal mal with a little surfactant in there a few hours before lights off. Will try to keep my vpd in ideal range and hope I can offset what I hope I correctly identified as cal mag deficiency due to low ph. We shall see! Chandler truck in along. Sunday update, I’ve removed some of the larger problematic fan leaves they were too far gone. I’m encouraged by the runoff being in better range for Rachel. Once she dries I’m hoping I can get her back on track with nutrients. Chandler lookin good, has creeped past Rachel in height, topping and all! Rookie error in lighting has distance between flowers looking a little sad right now but let’s see if she can make up for it in these last few weeks.
