Northern lights

Greybeardbud All good so far, will need to lower ph next feed. Lights have been dropped down to intensify currently putting out 500ppfd at 60cm

Greybeardbud Start of veg week 2, impressed with how they are doing and seem to be tracking well. Have raised the fert to 2ml/l for coco+ a/b. Plants have developed a faint smell. Will be starting lst in 1 week and transplanting into 38 litre cloth pots, still contemplating on just going directly to 50 litre. Transplanted 1 into 38 litre pot, definitely not ready for transplanting am holding off on the rest Have added silica to the transplanted plant as an add on Room photo taken 4 days after individual pictures as a comparison

Greybeardbud All but 1 plants transferred to final 38 litre pots. 2-3 plants slightly slower than the rest but have well defined leaders. have introduced silica into the nutes and have adjusted ph to approximately 5.8. Have 1 plant showing signs of ph imbalance or nute lock tested non adjusted nute water at ph 5, (adjusted up), runoff is testing at ph 6.5 (expected to be higher so not concerned), will need to get a ph/ec pen when funds allow otherwise everything seems to be on track for great growth Photo 2 showing I suspect signs of magnesium fade, have corrected ph and keeping up with normal feed to runoff, all others showing no signs of deficiencies Have removed silica from feeds as caused a nutrient lockout on calcium and magnesium, heavy flush with ph 5.6 water and reduced coco a/b with runoff of ph6.0, plants have responded well and swiftly within 24 hours they had started rapid growth again and leaves have darkened. Might reintroduce silica later but not without supplemental calmag. Will be topping the main colas on the weekend and introducing some lst next week Never dull

Greybeardbud Plants have recovered well from lockout, and have been topped. LST will start in 1 week. As stated previously have removed silica for now.
