Overall I had issues with this plant being in lockout for too early, too long. It really preferred pH at 4.5-4.6, drifting above 5 gave me symptoms of lockout that I was unaware of until it was too late to correct.
Not a whole lot to say about this brand. I think filtered tap water would have worked just as well for me. My tap runs at 250ppm so I don't think this was strictly necessary.
GHE is my tried and trusted outdoor nute brand. This was my first time indoors with BioMarine and it caused my tent to stink to high heaven. Overall I think when combined with some microbugs, this stuff really shines.
This plant is easy to grow if you can keep her from locking out. I think it went on longer than average for an auto. Overall I'm pleased with the results. The harvest was slightly over an ounce but I ended up losing about 10 grams because one of my cats slipped in through one of the six-inch holes in my drying tent and destroyed a few of the buds. That's her in the picture
The Coco EC is 1980 and my pH slurry is 6.25. Using NIST calibrated equipment (Certified metrologist here). She really seems to be loving life and is taking everything I can throw at her. Being an auto, should I start flushing soon or keep up the heavy nutrient regimen?
Plant looks great. If she looks that good keep it up until about 50% of the white pistils have dried and turned orange then start checking the trichome color with a 40x jewelers loupe. Most growers harvest when they see 5% to 30% amber trichomes on their buds. Just keep an eye out for yellow or brown tips appearing on your leaf tips if you see this back off on your nutrients a bit. Hope this helps.👍
@Philindicus, thanks I appreciate the feedback! I've been handling her just as you said. I'm just going to keep feeding until the leaves started dying off. There's about 5% amber tips right now so she still has got some growing to do.
