Week 9 of the FF hydro schedule: this time I refer to the schedule recommendations as maximum values and target 1.8 to 2.1 EC. This resulted in twice as much water consumption compared to days past and the flowers are looking bigger and frostier with each passing night. The supplements are at full strength and the fertilizers are half strength. Made the edition of Mother Earth Sugar Load and Primordial Solutions Sea Green. Changed reservoir with fresh solution being that it stopped foaming at this point from yesterday. Just one day includes addition of Mother Earth Sugar Load-made lots of foam initially then subsided. Considering lowering the flow a bit and reduce solution loss. So the change was at Fert strength at half again and including a touch of Sea Green. Next week, ff schedule wk9 and this time a little less than half the dose fo Cha Ching. The lights were lowered to about 14 inches and may increase air flow. Recalculation: Leafly says that this strain has a flowering period of 7-9 weeks and she is beginning week 8 of flower. With that being said, this will be the final week of nutrients as they will go directly into a flushing period to get rid of all of the stored BRIXX and shift the energy to the flowers. In the upcoming week I will be watching the trichomes closely as they are all milky. If I see more trichomes changing to amber I may begin the flush as early as midweek for a goal of either a 4-10 day flush with Flawless Finish. Finally, I catch a mistake before it happens! This is soo different than a soil grow or and outdoor grow.

Is she ready for Beastie Bloomz or should I continue with Open Sesame for another week until flowers are more developed?👊

It isn't a matter if it's ready or not. That's a PK booster. Does your plant look like it's deficient on phosphorous or potassium? Besides your EC/PPM is quite high already, if you add this other fertilizer you will risk burning the plants.

Using GH Waterfarm with air bubbler in res: plant consumed EC of 2.1 down to 1.4 overnight with Mother Earths Sugar Load. I have bio film on roots now and am flushing with Flawless Finish, Hygrozyme and URB Natural. How can I feed the microbes & protect roots & was EC drop good?

The Ec drop can't be a bad thing , it means your plant is using a lot of nutrients to achieve flowering and to produce buds so I would just adjusts it was time the plant is eating. About how to feed microbs : idk 😊

Nice looking harvest, especially for your first time on hydro. Congrats! :D

hey there casebone the drop in the EC is due to the flushing nutrients and that's normal and to be expected. Dont worry about it, what's the point of the flush except to reduce PPMs of the solution and the nutrients in the plant right? bad news is the microbes also go down and die so dont bother mixing them with the flawles finish. Hope i answered your question ! congrats on the great grow and harvest ! 👊

You got 850 g off of the 1 plant! That's some seriously crazy growing! Good luck on dotm.✌️

@Casebone, awe...that would have been seriously bad ass! Yea i noticed a few glitchy things on here too where my figures got changed up. Regardless of yield great job on the grow, turned out beautifully. ✌️

@Experimentgreen, Thanks for pointing that out! I got 31 Grams off of the 1 plant. Nice dense and sticky nuggets. Yeah, that would be some crazy stuff to get 850 grams. It is a type o that I change every time I log on but it never shows the correct weight. Must have been a glitch in the software, it is changed to the correct weight now.😎

@Casebone, as long as there is no deficiency, there's no need for increasing the feeding strength
Casebone
Casebonecommented6 years ago
@@@Athos, no deficiencies that I can see. It is not doing much compared to last week when it brought the EC down to 1.4 overnight. Next weeks will be a leaner solution and EC I can shoot for 1.6?

She is finally cut and will give it about one week to dry. Tomorrow will be day 5 of drying; the last time I checked up was day 3 and the stalk was shrinking as it dries. When ready, they will go into a c-vault with a 62% humidity packet.

Quite a bit of what I believe to be algae. The leave and buds look fantastic for their small sizes. First thing was to change the res and replace with hose water with the addition of hydrogen peroxide at a rate of 3tsp/gal. Roots look like they are coated with a brown film over the roots. Once they are clean I will continue flush with Flawless Finish. Despite the buildup on the roots the plant is showing no signs of weakness.-Update: the dark film never disappeared!

The flush is started and better sooner than later. This solution was made with RO water: a few drops of Sledgehammer; URB Natural; Hygrozyme and Flawless Finish. This will be the final 4 to 10 days prior to harvest. It should time out just right with the trichome maturity. Strongly considering a final extended dark period for the final finish. All of the largest fan leaves were trimmed off. Now the focus is on the remaining dense foliage and the flowers.

My little nugs are getting plump. I could feel density in them a few weeks ago. Overall, I don't think that it will be a whole lot once she is dried out. Keep in mind that she is not done yet and there is still the flushing period with flawless finish. I think that I am ready to begin the flush tomorrow. Even though I want the best results that I can possibly get; I am still learning my grow technique as I am getting a feel for how to handle the flowering phase. I can totally tell that the Sugar Load gave the plant a nice nutrition boost as the EC dropped like over night. Not much water consumption yesterday, so I added Hygrozyme just to clean up the roots prior to the flush.

After pH correction maintained a static EC.

Opened up tent and the smell was so sweet! It was time to refill the DWC bucket so today I added Sugar Load High Brixx Molasses and a little bit of Sea green. Lots of foam and the EC jumped to 2.1 from 1.8. I do not think that I will change the solution because it is maintaining the EC very well. Will re-evaluate at end of grow week to see if the Sugar Load increases the consumption of nutrients.

Besides, come to find out that the grow schedule is for a 1000 watt system. I have a Cobb 600 watt and two 180 watt ufo's. The roots are not really massing up, still trying to feed the microbes. I think that it grows better with a higher water level but the root mass must be inside the hydro ton. LED's are like lasers, they beam straight and the Cobb LED seems to spread the light more evenly.

Essentially, the answer to my question may have been not to over feed as the EC is stable and to feed the microbe population giving URB a boost. I am going to try doing intermittent microbe feedings to bring out the potential of URB. URB as I know from previous soil grows really invigorates plant growth to an extreme .👊

Bembe and Microbe Brew contain Molasses. It may not have enough kick and may have to go with Blackstrap Molasses. Any ideas?
