Very first grow: Herbies Gelato Auto Indoors

She stretched tremendously (2 cm per day) and finally stopped stretching this week at 41 cm and day 55. Directly after the stretch on day 55, I lightly lollypopped, defoliated a little bit and removed any under-developed or shaded mini colas. Very bushy! Due to ongoing pH problems I decided to flush the soil on day 52 with pH adapted water of pH ... drumroll ... 3.5 (phosphorous acid) !!! Hold on tight: drain stayed at 7.3! I finally gave up on adapting the pH within this run. Lesson learned, do not use this soil again... or at least pH adapt / buffer before the grow. D50 water 2,0l pH 4,5 700 µS/cm; drain 0,15l pH 7,2 2200 µS/cm; D52 water 4 Liter 3,5 200 (flush) drain 2,0l 7,3 900 D55 water 2.4 Liter 4,9 1400; drain 0,1l 7,2 1400 So yeah... this soil is heavy on the pH+ side. Will not be able to adapt anymore, I think. She takes it like a champ though.
