They are coming along nicely.
The 2 leftmost plants are very purple and the one on the right is green.
2 Purple phenos?
Evidence of CalMag deficiency. Likely from the pH crash a few days ago. That was corrected and additional calmag was given.
There was a funky smell yesterday. No bud or leaf rot that I could see. . Did not look at roots but added a bit of HOCL to the res just in case. Will reapply fungi in a couple of days.
Smell is increasing. Added KoolBloom Dry today, have to watch the ppm. They are due for a complete res change.
One thing I am not clear about is when to measure ppm. Before supplements, or the whole mixture....
Both your ladies are looking incredible brother! How dense are the nugs (they look solid as a rock from pics). Great job on spotting the deficiencies when you did too, here’s hoping that it’s smooth sailing from here on out :D
@GrowsHimself,
Thanks 😊 Yeah, I didn't expect it to be my pH meter. Regular maintenance from now on.
They seem pretty dense, realy hard to say until after the cure. I won't squeeze them. Looking sideways at the 2 taller plant's colas, there is still a bit of space visible between the buds, but a couple more weeks could change that.
Had some weird ph problems which explains the mottled leaves.
Turns out it was my meter. Got a probe cleaning kit and new batteries. Since then it has been under control.
A few days ago I put a tablespoon of Epsom salt in the res and the plants loved it. There was a noticeable increase in smell almost right away.
Overdrive is sold out so I added NPK Raw Kelp extract. Next feed will contain some charcoal.
Had to replace some clogged emitters so I drenched them by hand a couple of times as I made the repairs.
My eyesight isn't great but I might have seen a little gnat. Put some sticky traps around.
I really don't want those buggers during late bloom.
Previously I used Mosquito dunks and diatomaceous earth but I am not sure what to do in a recycling drip hydro setup.
5 weeks old now. No pics yet
They are so bushy that I don't know where to start defoliation.
A limitation of my system is that I can't get to the plants 360° and the middle plant is the least accessible.
Future idea will have drip into rockwool blocks that drain onto a table. This would allow moving and repositioning the plants.
