Notes from 7/3/2024:
Installed Trellis and swapped light to 12/12
Also removed dimmer switch (I think it was this day). It wasn't putting out enough lumens with it installed even though at one point it was. It seems to fluctuate. Driver in light probably needs replaced, but at that point I'll just need to replace the entire light.
Notes from 7/7/2024:
Water Change Day
Plants have been behaving by lower EC and PH going from 5.8 6.1/2 in a 24 hour period. They are drinking 1 gallon of water every 48 hours. The damage that I thought was solely due to root rot may actually be nutrient deficiencies. One other possibility is too much Hydroguard. I determined this after coming across George Cervantes website (a treasure mine of info).
I'm going now from 1/2 3/4 strength Jack's. I may even need to go to full, but I don't want to push it.
I will take some pictures today.
I am making a goal of taking leaves off the plant every day for the next three weeks at least. that is the recommendation I've seen in several places for stripping leaves (i.e., don't remove leaves after 3rd week of Bloom).
