Bucket to Buds: SSSC Strawberry Cookies SCRoG Log

Hey everyone, It’s Week 3 and it’s time to get serious. I dialed in the EC and pH a little more as she was was eating through Her low EC solution quite fast, we were at 0.8 EC and overnight it went down 0.2 points, causing pH to fluctuate. I have increased it to 1 EC but the goal is to gradually land around 1.4 by the end of next week, I always try to land between 5.8 and 6.2 pH. At the end of this week I also realised I hadn’t touched my lights at all since week 1! It was still at 250 ppfd, I promptly raised it to 400 and will gradually increase to 500 next week. The low intensity light is definitely a cause of her slow growth. I topped her on day 20, the next day there was significant growth so I can only assume she didn’t get stunted, I do really love hydro and salts for this reason, it’s so easy! I also took off her lower two nodesides, I normally only take off the bottom set, but as I mentioned last week, those second nodes never produce a lot of great product. I start now with 6 nodes, this should make SCRoGing a lot easier too. Root growth is fine, too. I’m very excited to see how this plant reacts over the coming days. Thanks for visiting my diary.
