Growing strong , bushier & taller. The lower oldest three finger leaves are yellowing then getting brown and crunchy at the tips. I trimmed two older yellowing/browning leaves off last week and those nodes are smaller and slower to grow(they are also the lowest nodes). I added the silica to nutrient waterings. They told me that you have to put the silica in the water first then add the grow nutrients because it can cause some kind of lockout. We have really strong winds so I moved her into my mini outdoor greenhouse. She still gets almost 12 hours of daylight in the greenhouse. I keep the door unzipped and rolled up. I leave her in there at night and bring her out if the wind slows down.
10/2/19 Note: this week she started wilting at nighttime.
I believe this is called “Predictable Night Wilt”. And if my research is accurate it indicates flowering will start soon.😃😃
@Njaak, Hi,
Yes I finally got both PH down and PH pen but unfortunately my THC Auto Bomb plant was past correction time for an outdoor plant. I managed to get a couple buds that I am drying so we will see how that goes😃. But from now on I am using that PH pen every time!!!
@TessaMaria, do you have any pH down? Mix your normal nutrient solution (water + nutrients) then add tiny drops of pH down and use a pH pen (get one from Amazon) to bring your pH to the appropriate range for your stage of growth. You can find pH charts for different grow types (soil, hybrid, hydro, coco, etc.) on Greenhouse Seeds nutrient websites. I keep a chart on my grow diaries as well in the pictures for Week 1.
