Primeiro Cultivo Oficial

Maycon_heiro I put in a lot of nutrients, but I'll water it tomorrow.

Maycon_heiro Now with an autopot system to maintain constant irrigation in the coco.

Maycon_heiro Everything is going wrong. Apparently lacking nitrogen. Purple Skunk looks like a bonsai. Smell is very present. Autopot with water at 5.6 pH and 200 ppm of calmag. PH PERFECT administered by top watering. I removed some leaves and a few lower branches that started to develop.

Maycon_heiro Solution is already ready with a pH of 6.4. Slowly lowering their pH since it was at 7.0, trying to reach at least 6.3 by the end of the weekend. On 07/10, I fed them with 900 ppm to try to correct the nitrogen deficiency. Runoff at 570 ppm and pH of 6.8. First signs of Bloom, I believe I will switch to Bloom nutrients by Sunday.

Maycon_heiro pH Finally going down: pH 6.8 on 10/10/2024 pH 6.4 on 12/10/2024 PPM 1200 I moved the smaller ones into an improvised box so they have the same light intensity level as the bigger ones. OG Kush and Gelato (Two behind), I applied stress with wire to lower the tops so that the buds would reach an average height. The plant held its position well and the buds are apparently growing healthy. Still some signs of the defects from the previous week, but I don't know if that will change. Feeding with 500 ml per pot + Auto Pot with CalMag. Runoff tested every two days in the autopot.

Maycon_heiro Now the Autopot is working wonderfully. I added the nutrient portions mentioned above for a total of 40L of water in the reservoir. I removed the Silica and Sugar for this week. Total PPM in the reservoir is 1300. pH is 5.6. At the plant output, it's progressively rising to 990 PPM and pH is dropping to 6.0. Plants are drinking a lot of water, a total of 4 liters per day. I’ll bring updates from the reservoir on Friday. Humidity is really hard to control here in Malta 🇲🇹. General island humidity is hitting 74%. Trying to control it with the air conditioning in the room. Update October 16: I bought a dehumidifier. Now humidity is at 60%. Temperature has risen and the tank has a smell of rotten fish.

Maycon_heiro I cleaned the reservoir. I adjusted the pH of the reservoir to 5.5 and 1300 PPM. I added the big bud to the reservoir and removed the micronutrients. I cleaned the pumps and the sides of the pots, plus rotated the plants to ensure that other branches get access to light. They are drinking about 2L of water per day in the autopot that has 40L of water. NOTE: I used bottled mineral water in the autopot with 70 PPM and 7.5 pH. Gelato from FastBuds reached 1.7m in height; I have no idea how. I filled the reservoir today on 10/25. I added the nutrients today on 1/26.

Maycon_heiro I removed some dead leaves from the bottom and put them in the pot to decompose. Tank with 45L of water, 1230 PPM, and 5.5 pH (It will naturally rise to 5.6) I left them in water without nutrients for 24 hours to clean the roots. I cleaned the trays too. Gelato Auto at 1.7 M tall. The larger plants have yellowing leaves around, but I believe it won't impact their development.

Maycon_heiro ...

Maycon_heiro I didn't update last week because I was on vacation in Paris 🇫🇷🥖. Purple Skunk is either in the final stretch or ready for harvest. I killed the Gelato because she had to leave the tent due to lack of space, and she had a terrible development.
