Start of week 3 today..
Only running 4 x250w hps due to high outdoor temps..max 33c low 23c in tent..topped all at the 5th/6th node.
Ec 1.1 ph range between 5.9 and 6.1 ph perfect advanced nutrients..
Not happy with amount of roots..so dropped b52 for 3 days and upped dosage of voodoo juice. Running ro water 780liter system. 3L A &B ec at 1.6 trying to push them this week..
Well it's all gone to shit. Water temps can't be controlled with lights turned up..so turned the 1000w dimluxs off and now running just 4x 400w hps..had to stay in veg..given the roots and good wash and bath in alien rot x solution. Filter on circulation pump blocked with the gunge that's come off the roots..cleaned and refitted. 2 weeks before bigger chiller arrives. Keeping temps below 19c with lights turned down. Fingers crossed the roots recover nicely..
This week has been a recovery week. Cleaned the roots in alien root rot x..turned lights down to 4x250w chiller still struggling..waiting for new big one..roots still look a little brown but nute solution is brown. New roots coming out of baskets nice and white and thick. Plenty of new growth. Keep topping and have added lst to try and combat stretch and allow light in. When running advanced ph perfect at half strength ph is too high at full strength ph drops back into the 5s. Ec at 2.8 but no sign of nute burn yet anyway..
Tuned them to flower. New chiller still not here but with lower outside temps I'm.keeping system at a steady 18c 3 days of complete darkness. Hopefully it all turns out good..next time definalty going from seed and not clones
Well the start of week 4 of flower and they have stretched to the sky even went past the lights don't really know why. Roots are huge and nice and white and fresh plenty of bud sites..Wednesday is deleaf /defoliation..cant believe how much they have changed since turning the lights to 12hr..atleast 3times the size
Stripped plants right back removed all big leaves. Plenty of buds just hope they pack on size and weight now..ph has dropped below 5
.ec is at 3.0 seems high ec and low ph. Trusting the process no dead leaves no nute burn.
