I am using General Hydroponics trio (FloraGro, FloraBloom, FloraMicro as well as CalMag). My ppm is currently at 700. The grow chart says I should be between 950 - 1400 but was told to use 1/2 of that. I would like another opinion on what my ppm should be at 29 days old.
My ppm in my 70l veg tub, I keep around 800-900 at that stage of growth, starting water has 115ppm so I'm adding about 750-825 ppm of nutes, and pH at 5.8-6.3. My girls are loving it... Complete water change after adding 70 l of water during topups. Cheers! DWCHC👍👈
Hey! I just started using the GH series and noticed the PPMs run higher than my other feeds. I have used botanicare and rarely do I get above 600 PPMs, if I do, I start to burn the plants. Watch how the plants react. Your plants right now look extremely healthy, Check the PPMs and if they are rising, then you are overfeeding, if they are lowering then its an underfeed.
This week’s lesson always research anything you spray on your plants before using. I found out the hard way! Don’t just blindly trust the guy behind the counter at your local garden center!
Let’s see if the black strap molasses will clog lines, air stones or pump.
Update: After just 2 days the molasses experiment was a big fail. My reservoir was full of slime.
I flushed with clean RO water and refilled res with GH nutes.
The blueberry seems kinda frail. The leaves and stems are soft almost velvet like.
Possibly the roots are still slimed from the molasses experiment.
I was told by a more experienced grower that I was LSTing to the extreme and too far into flowering.
I have now untied the ends of the main branches to allow them to grow straight up through the trellis.
Live and learn. Hopefully I didn’t mess up my grow or yield too much.
The blue gelato 41 has lost most of its pistils. Possibly because it’s been pollinated? Or it it just genetics of the strain? I’m not experienced enough to know.
Buds are tight and solid. Buzz is energetic and motivating! Very much a daytime smoke but when I top a bowl with some of the dry sifted hash it’s great for bedtime. This first grow has more than surpassed my expectations.
I harvested 420 grams (I shit you not this is true) of trimmed bud as well as 19 grams of dry sift hash.
the pistils get dry and orange/ brown/they just cahnge their shape....they ate still there but not so good to see because of shrinking if they dry... everytging seems fine in your grow.......if you want to know if shes pollinated look at the calyxes.. better said into the calyxes... they are swelling ( normal) and if they are pollinated you find seeds in it
@Med_in_Tropic,
My roots are in rockwool slabs so I can’t inspect them.
I flushed them with RO water and cleaned the reservoir, but that’s about all I’ve done so far.
They seem to have recovered from limp rubbery leaves. Leaves are still very soft but not as limp.
I will look up trichosan. Thanks for your help!
@WoodRooster, slime means there are bacteria or some other organisms.
It take a lot of work but will prevent root rot.
I would prepare hydrogen peroxide solution to disinfect the roots and the tank.
Drain and clean the tank. Disinfect things.
Inspect the root.
Replace solution.
Use root stimulants. I prefer trichosan.
But please look up hydroponic references.
Hi @WoodRooster! Your plant looks great, almost dark green, this means she had enough nutrients and don't need more Nitrogen yet. Remember to slowly decrease N intakes the week before you trigger the flowering stage, this will prevent a big stretch and help roots to focus on P&K to maximize bud-sites and expand flowers later. Half of the recommended doses was the right way to go. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information. Happy growing! 👊
