Second week have been running while I'm trying to figure out how to grow my babies in this new environment I've been living (Very dry and high minerals on tap water up to 400ppm). Therefore the humidity inside the grow was 50% mostly of the time and sometimes 60% and not even more.
I fed them three times this week, on the 3th I've got rain water to use as base for my nutrients and the PPM problem was gone.
The week two (Since I've start the nutrition) ended. White Rhino is at least twice than week 1. Big bug is coming but not that strong I think I will postpone the flowering by 1 week at least. I still using the app nutrition recommendation.
4th week have arrived. The differences between the pots are considerable.
Is impossible to follow the instructions for 3th week using tap water, the PPM goes crazy like 1400.
So I have been adding more water to the solution till it goes below 1000 (For White Rhino) and below 900 (For Big Bud). But event taking care I have some small burn points on the leafs.
This week I hope I remember to buy some extra mineral water bottles to see how the PPM is like.👽
This week Super bud have grown like never before, she became higher then White Rhino. The plans right now is to wait 1 week and start flowering.
White rhino have started looks like it was on flowering initial state (she is ready for I think when I look to her) but I do prefer wait one more week to see how is like (specially for Super Bud)
Last vegetative week. I'm not sure if I've postponed the flowering by one week in vain. They didn't grown up that far and white rhino lost some of her big leafs (I'm not sure if this is bad). Btw I'm changed the photo period from now on to 12/12.
I had a look on advanced nutrients official website and they recommend to flush it only by the 16th flowering day. So do I. 6Lt per plant then wait for completely dry (around 4 days) . I'm might use sparkly water to oxygenate the roots.
I've had some similar issues to you (no rain, very dry for a looong time, tap water in a mining area). *Kinda* looks like minor signs of magnesium/calcium imbalance (too much magnesium/too little calcium, or something else interfering there, possibly fluoride and such, might even need a tiny bit of boron). Otherwise looks really good though. I'd probably think of lowering whatever nutrients contribute the most magnesium a bit and possibly increasing calcium a bit, but I'm just guessing.
For one plant that had severe issues that *I think* is related to magnesium, but not only, adding some sugars/carbs/acidic stuff seemed to help quite a bit. Very tentative speculation though, so I'm not suggesting much/if any changes. Good luck!
@drogonation,
Uh, lots of calcium is generally a good thing, it's quite difficult to have too much calcium as it is vitally important to most functions of the plant and used in most of the plant's growing mechanisms. I also find it hard to believe you have lots of calcium in your tap water (at least, relative to things like fluoride that would sort of interfere with it). From what I can tell of those pics, you don't have an issue with too little magnesium, but you might have with too little calcium.
The balance of calcium to magnesium should generally be higher than what people recommend/use (that is, you should probably have a lot more calcium than magnesium).
@@Ssomeguy, Here I know tap water comes with a lot of calcarium :(.
About the nutrients I think it might be ok because I'm following the recommended nutrition from Advanced Nutrients.
Thanks for your hints dude, I will try something like you said.
