On Day 83, day 38 since the switch to 12-12, she is doing fine. My manifold is actually pretty sweet. She is fattening up and putting on weight. The weight of her buds is naturally starting to pull the tops of the colas out from the center of the plant. This is allowing for air and light into the center of the plant. One bad thing is that I was cleaning up little bits of growth from the base of the plant and cut most of the way through one of my eight colas. Shoot!!! Tried to fix it with tape but it was too badly cut. Another stupid mistake. At least I still have 7 colas and a pretty healthy plant though. Disappointing and will cost me harvest weight. Oh well. How much CBD do I need though? It's disappointing but okay.
What 8 letter word can have a letter taken away and it still makes a word. Take another letter away and it still makes a word. Keep on doing that until you have one letter left. What is the word?
@Reaper, I've thought about running two buckets in my little space but I don't think it's big enough for two.
Agreed on hydroton but the dust shouldn't hurt anything. It'll just end up in your reservoir but not hurt anything.
Regarding RO water, depending on the quality of water where you live, you might not need to RO your water. If you do, definitely need cal mag. My water is decent where I live. It comes out of the tap at ~7 on a PH scale. Remember though that making bubbles in water decreases the PH over time. So I let mine start at 7 and it is probably 5.8 after 7 days. If your water starts at 7, and you decrease it to 6, you'll likely have to PH up after just a couple days.
Good luck!!!
@NorCalCloset, thanks !! 1tsp=5ml?
ill use this grow scedule, i use a dwc bucket will i be alright with only the three part and calimagic lol ill try to grow blue dream, just one more thing, the start...... hydroton needs to be rinsed but its like forever having dust, is it ok to just rinse them untill the dust is gone (if u shake them after 10years rinsing they still have dust)
AND..... the rockwool cubes.. can i just soak them in R/O water and then put my seed in there ? i hate to put PH correct in plain RO water because it has no PH (around 6) but can be seen on any meter. sooo anoying i need to add nutes before i see PH 😂 i just want the rockwool cube not to destroy my crop midway trough, just wondering if it will be okay if i soak it in RO lol
@Reaper, Oh i see. See week 14 of this grow. I have uploaded my nutrient schedule for the whole grow as part of the pictures. This is from www.growweedeasy.com. I learned everything I needed to know to get started from this website. I've figured out some stuff on my own, but I trust this site a ton! Good luck!
@Reaper, 1 tsp = 5 ml. I'm American so I grow up with non metric but the metric system makes so much more sense! I use a large syringe with a tube on the end to measure nutrients.
@Oldmansterdam, Thank you for your comment! And I agree. I have made the mistake where I flip too soon and the plant is healthy but not as big as I wish it was. When in doubt veg another week!
