Notes from 9/4/2024:
I measured the PH this morning and it was around 4.2 or something crazy like that. EC @ 0.2.
I went ahead and bumped the PH to around 6.1, but decided to do a water change.
Because I'm at the stage of having no fucking idea what I'm doing at this point I did the following:
50% Jack's "New" cannabis formula:
Part A = 3.79 @15gal = 28.5g
Part B = 2.52 @15gal = 18.9g
Part C = 0.99 @15gal = 7.5g
PH = 5.8 (almost 5.9)
EC = 1.2
I also used 4gal RO and the remaining 11 gallons well water. I filled the container around 1000-1100. I actually did the water change around 1600. I hope this was enough time to evaporate any chlorine from the injector. The RO / Well Water mix was at 0.1 EC before adding nutes. It took AT LEAST 12ml PH down (pretty sure closer to 15ml or more) to get the PH to 5.8.
I decided to go this path because I wasn't sure if the A/B only 420 mix was causing issues. I also went with 50% because of the acid raid scenario that occurred this morning (40% must not have been enough for 7 days). I've been trying to get these plants to feed the entire cycle, but what seems to happen is that they won't feed past 0.7EC. However, I suspect the two plants have different needs and things are just getting fucked in the same media. This last cycle at 40%, things were going as expected:
Started at ~ 5.7ph @ 40% Jack's 420
PH went up the next day
day two was relatively the same
day three it started to drop
day 4+ it just dropped hard
Notes from 9/5/2024:
the PH was @ 6.8 this morning after adding 1Gal RO. It took ~ 14ml down to get to 5.7 PH.
This evening at 1900 PH was up to 6.0 and EC still at 1.1 (was 1.1 this morning).
Notes from 9/7/2024:
After checking the trichomes, it looks like the chop will be scheduled for next weekend. I think I'm going to start the flush Monday evening. I'm going to use 11Gal well water again like I did on Wednesday 9/4, so I should do that tomorrow and let it sit for 24 hours to evaporate any possible chlorine.
Trichomes are at least 60%+ turning or already cloudy. I'm seeing some ambers here and there. I'd say by next weekend it will be mostly cloudy with up to 15% amber, but we shall see.
Notes from 9/8/2024:
PH in res. was @ 5.4. I bumped it to ~6.0.
I mixed 4Gal RO & 11Gal well water and PH'd it to 5.7 before 1100. I intend to use this tomorrow evening and start the flush. EC @ 0.2.
