Durban Dew

loomerlope Started the first week with an EC of 0.7 and increased to 0.9, DLI was 12 at the start of the week and increased to 15. pH was between 6.1 and 6.4. On the last day of the week the plants will be moved to their next container until they have 3 nodes.

loomerlope All selected plants started their 3rd pair of true leafs. Seedling stage is over after 11 days from germination, will move them to their new home tomorrow. DLI is now at 19. (This "week" is only 4 days.)

loomerlope Had a slight too high EC, I started with 1.3 this week but decreased to 1.1, looks like the Durban Dew does like not that much fertilizer. Also added 1.5mll FlashClean for the last day this week before switching fertilizer ratios tomorrow. pH range was 5.9 to 6.2. DLI was increased to 28 during the week. One of the plants is growing slightly slower, but all in all it looks quite good.

loomerlope Did some LST this week, to have all branches on an equal level, also removed some leafs that blocked the light from branches. Will continue that the next weeks. Still can see some issues on some old/larger leafs, but just progressing slowly, so I will keep the amount of nutrients the same as DLI will be increased from 32 to 40 tomorrow, expecting them to consume slightly more nutrients then. pH range was 5.8 to 6.2 and DLI started at 30 and was increased to 32. had to increase water amount to 740ml/day/plant mid week (watering 4 times a day), as there was basically no drain anymore.

loomerlope Plants have a CalMag deficiency, so I increased TA CalMag to 1.5mll and also sprayed 2 times a day with: - 1mll TA CalMag - 10mll Bio Nova FreeFlow - pH: 6.2+ and EC: 0.9 Plants started to recover quite ok, so I will flip to 12/12 next week so they don’t get too big. DLI is at 42, pH range between 5.7 and 6.3. Removed some lower (damaged) leafs and also leafs blocking light from branches.
