Day early on the entry and watering.
There is tip burn on my leaves including tips of the serrated blade edges with a slight slight yellowing / lightening greenish colour. This is likely due to hot soil, and a bit of pH issue. The nutrients are always watered in at 6.2, but several days later the pH in the soil reads 6.8 to 7.0 It's fucking annoying that for some reason the coco drifts upward in pH. I find it difficult to maintain a consistent pH in it. So today i didn't add any nutrients. I set the water pH to 5.8, but decided at the last minute to add 2ml per liter of Rezin, just because i have a bunch of it laying around. After adding 30ml i checked pH of the water and it was 5.62. Fuckin water in! That's got to reach a happy pH medium. Hoping to stabilize around where i like it at 6.2.
My tap water is always around 200ppm so they got a little bit of something. Whatever is in the tap water. The rezin product is just Molybdenum. There is no other ingredient labelled on the bottle. I think it's a bunch of green planet snake oil, but fuck it throw it in to use it up.
I'll likely feed the plants on Thursday. I will try to keep it under 1000ppm. I need some of that salt to be eaten up by the plant before i feed more.
Buds are filling out and i am starting to get the first few orange pistils visible here and there on various bud sites. But most are still all fluffy white.
THURSDAY APRIL 25th, 2024
Plants were fed 710 ppm feed of the usual Remo Flowering regiment. Added was Green Plants Rezin Product at 2ml per liter. pH was set to 5.7 because the soil pH keeps drifting upward towards 6.8 to 7.0.
Plants are showing signs of nutrient stress on the leaf tips and serrated leaf blade tips. Some fading green to yellowing beginning on lower to mid large fan leaves. Biscotti Mintz is a pretty quick flowering plant and i'm going to guess that it's in the beginning stage of it's end of life transition. It's close enough to the end that it doesn't matter really if it's a deficiency or a lockout. I'm not thinking it is.
Biscotti Mintz doesn't seem to grow big chunky thick long Kolas but rather more popcorn nuggets. Very nice sized nuggets too. I can't wait to see her finished! The pistils are really starting to turn colour now. Especially at the upper plant area. The lower half the buds are still very fluffy and white but a few orange pistils are beginning to appear.
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.
