Rolling along. The back row of plants are always the most neglected simply because they are hard to reach and monitor from the front of the tent. I did notice a little something off on the back row middle plant. So i brought it forward to the front to keep an eye on it. It has some mild lightening up of green on the leaf edges on a few leaves and a bit of necrosis on the serated leaf blade tips. But over all the plant looks good.
The ladies are getting half strength feed 2x a week now, Mondays, and Thursdays. I'm still dialing it in and unfortunately i hit above my target ppm again this time. I'm shooting for between 600 and 700 ppm and i'm getting 900ish. I diluted the mix with some water to bring it down a bit but not enough to my liking. Next time i know the adjustment i need to make. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error to get things right.
Again i watered with a 6.00 pH to drop what seems to be a re-occuring theme of upward creeping pH. Last thursday the pH of the plants varied between 6.8 and 7.0 Not where i want it. After todays watering i tested and got a 6.2 reading which is right where i want it.
I can't wait to finish this crop and shut down for the summer! I really need the break from 9 month's of babysitting plants. And i am looking forward to turning my bathroom fan off that has been on and annoying to listen to for the past 9 month's. I will revel in the solitude of silence.
Buds are filling out really nicely. Things are getting frosty. There should be some serious bud development in the next 2 to 3 weeks! Looking forward to seeing what these plants can do with proper PPFD!
Your plants look great. I see you’re ph drifting. I did as well.
Using tap, my ph would drift up over time, so I’d set it a little low 5.7 and let it drift to 6.15. I run my coco at 5.8-5.9 successfully.
Once I switched to RO water my drift went away. Tip- You can use your dehumidifier water as ro water… and mitigate some drift.
@Todzilla, I was told that using dehumidifier water was a bad idea because of the air born pathogens that get in it. I was also under the impression that using RO water caused more pH Drift.
