*Tapwater: 21,3 °dh, 7.7 Ph, μS/cm 700
Osmosis 23°, Ph 7 μS/cm 500
switching to osmose only, adding additional Cal + Mag planned
keeping light at 50% (400-500 ppfd), i fear more light will worsen the deficiency until i buy calmag (biobizz calmag 1ml = 33mg Calcium, 11mg Magnesium)
0.5 m distance
i suspect Cal+mag def due to lack of transpiration caused by LED, too much kali, cal mag imbalance or everything at once
Lumatek would suggest 100% and 0,5 m distance at this point
Reducing Cal-Mag from 1 to 0,3 m,l/l probably wasnt the brightest move
After some research, i'm not sure if lack of calmag or lockout due Ph dipping below 6
i'll test the runoff asap.
13.02
IN: 2l
-Ph: 6,5
- μS/cm: 540
OUT: ca 200ml
-Ph: 5 *possible, lockout?
- μS/cm: 630
15.02
Soil Ph at root lvl: 5,5 Lockout confirmed, still don't know why
got myself new calibration fluid & Ph-meter, double checking my old Ph-pen and cal. fluids asap
*old Pen + old fluid vs new pen + new fluid
old pen: 0.4 + Ph
*old pen + new fluid vs new pen + new fluid
old pen 0.1 - Ph
This probably contributed but it's not too far off*
I noticed some mineral residues from evaporating, my filter isnt nearly as good as i need him to be.
Hard water is a curse, i'll test for Ca, Mg and K contents soon and dilute it with rainwater if possible
Changes:
-ventilation timer from 18h to 24h, this'll fix my nighly humidity spike
-new feeding schedule 1/2 of the previous
-aquarium omsosis filtration ordered
-isolated plant(1) with hight deficiencies with weaker light until she bounces back
bless all people who pass down knowlege to absolute idiots like me
hopefully my water problems will be gone
Tap
μS/cm : 760

Osmosis

JBL water testkit after double checking
Ca: 100 mg/l
Mg: 80 mg/l
first time i converted the drops wrong for 5ml instead of 10ml and got some 200mg/l Mg :^)
it's probably fine to use but i'll give RO water a try
25.02 I'm splitting up the weekly feeding into two (Nope, that was a bit to less, no longer doing that)
1/2 Nutes + Cal mag
μS/cm: 300
Ph: 7,2
27 + 28.02 Osmosis water + 1ml/l calmag
01.03
1/2 Nutes
Ph: 6,8
μS/cm: 260
i flushed P2 + 3 cause of high EC and low ph in P3
P3 μS/cm 850 to 660
p2 μS/cm 1600 to 790
Ph: 4,8 to 5,6
at this point, i can't wait for this grow to finish... i want a clean slate and start over, different soil + proper filtration and new schedule.
Since Grow 1 + 2 went swimmingly it was hard to trace it back to my feeding habit.
Learning through mistakes is as much fun as it is annoying
harvested a bit early, trychomes just started to amber. 70 Days.
I do no feel comfortable to rate this strain, due to my own mistakes and quite frankly torturing them with nutes for 4-5 weeks.
Only plant #3 was showing some kind of abnormal growth very early on like:
4 cotyledons, 3 first leafs, a single 9F Leaf, excessive node growth (3 nodes from the start + 4 new nodes after topping) and lack of coloration
84g after dry trimming, i didnt bother weighing it wet.
Trimming was nice and easy, barely an inconvenience
