Every 2-3 days:
Water 1.2l 4.0 pH; 2000 µS/cm;
Drain 0.1 ... 0.3l; 7.0 ... 7.8 pH (!!!); 1500 ... 3000 µS/cm;
I still have huge issues with the pH and nutrients. AND I mistook brown leaf tips for a P shortage. At the end of this week, I think this is rather due to to many nutrients in the soil. I will try to flush with pH adapted water next week and refill the soil with appropriate nutrients. That soil is giving me a headache!
So still stunted growth and I think she is getting ready to be harvested slowly. Pistils start to turn red. I gave a last defoliation (lollypopping) on the last day of this week. Will certainly not be the yield to dream of, but hey, I learned like A LOT. E.g. to not use soil anymore. XD XD
Seeing preflowering already on a fast growing strain (7 weeks according to Sweet Seeds) should I still opt for LST or just leave her alone and do her thing?
This is an autoflower not a fast flower, that is something different. but easy to confuse, Yes they both flower faster then normal standard photoperiods but its not the terminology that has been standardized as of late.
Typically speaking, a "Fast Version/Flower" is one of two things.
1) A Photoperiod mixed with an Autoflower to make Fast Version seeds that tend to finish early.
2) A pure Photoperiod with no autoflower mixed in who just so happens to finish ripening up to two weeks earlier/faster then their other photoperiod counterparts. This is what I call Old Fast Flowers vs New Fast Flowers that are mixed with autos.
New Fast Flowers also have a chance of just becoming an auto as well.
Its in bloom now. Light LST to help air get to the nodes is nice, Anything to heavy and it may go into shock and be a negative overall.
As a beginner it is hard to classify that: Are the brown tips a sign for nutrient burn? Or rather a deficiency of something?
Soil pH (out of whack) 7.4ish. Fighting that for weeks now...
Soil EC ~ 2000 µS/cm.
Crazy Hills fertilizer as scheduled.
Thank you!
with that EC you are at the limit without CO2
It looks like a K def, but with that EC and PH it could be a little bit of lockout lower de PH to 7ish or 6.5 will be great.
