PLEASE SEE LAST WEEK TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE HERE :'(
1/1/25
ringing in the new year with a nutrient swap.
General Hydroponics Flora Series
I am currently following the included chart's "Light Feed"
and mixing my CaliMagic first at 3ml/g (I am using RO water.)
I mixed to 1,3 EC & 5.8
next res swap i will add bulletproof si from the cutting edge line at 1ml / gallon
1/3/25
came across another huge issue with my grow
i've been calibrating my ph pen with RO instead of distilled water
and improperly calibrating...
ph was way under where it was supposed to be.
properly calibrated pen and knocked ph back up to 5.8
sheesh a lot of issues but it's all a learning game...
EC has stayed about steady, i'm unaware of how the ph has changed considering my improper calibration before...
not swapping res until the week is over, i got faith in the chart lol
1/4/25
in a short couple days i see crazy root growth in the bucket, and the plant visually looks happier, not TOO much growth , but i can see some small leaves growing in,
leaves seem to be getting bigger on the bottom, leaves wouldn't get big before.
i have switched the air line going into the bucket to black instead of clear to prevent light leakage.
1/5/25
bumping up to 1,7 with cal mag
1,0 after calmag
ec keeps dropping, but EC is dropping too, the dwc chart leads me to believe i need more nutes
i have bumped from 50% strength to 75% and will see if this helps.
not really scrogging atp , just waiting for more considerable growth,
it's taking nutrients and growing, just not where i want it to be.
consider water temp being TOO cold as i'm blowing a fan on it and it stays pretty cool,
but i used a meat thermometer to measure the temp and it is around 68 degrees.
so i don't believe that is an issue.
i think this is just a matter of increase the nutes and wait it out.
