Project Broiler

Like a shovel to the head That's how the plant reacted to the last stress—lost appetite and growth slowed significantly. To reset things, I flushed it with 10 liters of RO water because EC started climbing again. Within 2-3 days, potassium deficiency showed up. I grilled the chatGPT on the reasons for salt buildup, why it’s happening, and the ideal temperature and humidity for CO2 injection. The AI came up with this theory: when CO2 levels are high and exhaust fans are off, temperature rises, causing the plant to uptake more water but fewer nutrients. This led to a quest for a precise watering recipe to address the problem and adapt to magnetic field influences. The AI resisted—mixing up fertilizers, timings, and volumes—but we finally agreed on this schedule: Watering Schedule: 3 days base nutrients, 1 day boosters, 2 days base nutrients, 1 day boosters Base Nutrient Days: 1. Morning feeding (7:00 AM), 1.5L: Connoisseur Coco Bloom A: 6 ml Connoisseur Coco Bloom B: 6 ml 2. Second watering (10:00 AM), 0.5L: RO water 3. Third watering (1:00 PM), 0.5L: RO water Booster Days: 1. Morning feeding (7:00 AM), 1.5L: Rhino Skin: 3 ml Bud Candy: 3 ml Big Bud: 3 ml Tasty Terpens: 3 ml B-52: 3 ml Bud Factor X: 3 ml Sensi Zym: 3 ml 2. Second watering (10:00 AM), 0.5L: RO water 3. Third watering (1:00 PM), 0.5L: RO water The timing aligns with the magnetic field's influence to maximize nutrient uptake during peak demand. Arguments for this schedule: Achieving 10-15% runoff from the morning feed Stabilizing EC by avoiding overloading the plant with a full "cocktail" of nutrients Allowing the plant to freely consume base nutrients without booster overload Insights from Advanced Nutrients support: They suggested using Bud Factor X only once a week for optimal use, which inspired splitting the "cocktail" components into separate days. Current observations: On the first day, there was no runoff after applying 1.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 liters. Previously, I watered 2.5L once daily, yielding 20-25% (around 420 ml) runoff. On the second day, I used only base nutrients (2 + 0.5 + 0.5L), and the plant still consumed about 25%, with runoff at 200 ml. EC hasn’t improved yet (still at 3.4), so I’ll keep monitoring. Progress: The plant is slowly recovering, with new white stigmas appearing. Amber trichomes are still sparse, so I’ll give it another week or two before switching from Big Bud to Overdrive for two weeks, then finish with a Flawless Finish flush. Personal goal: Maximize learning from this grow, force this "Shaitan machine" to work synergistically for the plant, and master coco cultivation and nutrient management.
