This week has been great, the plants are looking healthy and sucking up a lot of nutrients, I'm about to raise from 1000ppm to about 1200ppm because the runoff is coming off at around 800. They're growing in size and now I'm just waiting until day 21 to do another heavy defoliation, I'm trying the 1/21/45 rule that's why you see a stripped down plant in the one pic, that's from the beginning of the week.
I changed my nutrient plan around from my last grow and my plants seem to be loving it. Sorry I don't have a lot of photos I've been working hard on the plants but I neglect to take many. These photos are from the night of 1-25 and the night of 1-19, I'm very excited for the stretch of these and to see how they end up turning out because they've been going very steady for a while now. I dropped 2 of the plants because they started showing male traits, but the other 8 are still doing great and thankfully the crow is still up since I only had one of those! I wish I could clone the crow strain but I will be moving after this harvest and don't know how I'd maintain it.
I'm currently watering 2-3 times a day, I have a 55 gallon reservoir, sump pump, hose, and watering wand that I recently purchased that makes watering easier. I'm working on adding an easier way to manage drainage or potentially adding an auto watering mechanism because the plants are enjoying multiple watering. I also included a picture of the roots from transplant day which was 1-18 just to see if they look good or not. They seem okay, I think the plants are healthier now than they were around then after switching my feeding regimen.
Loving the diary its helping me learn as I wrap up my second week! How long have you been growing for and using jacks for? I planned to use Jacks 321 and follow the full strength recommendation and do what greengenes on YT suggests. What mix of jacks or what formula do you us and at what strength? Im just about to move my girls in the rapid rooter to their 2 gallon pots today in Happy frog soil. Any advice for feeding strength or if I should this early on this first transplant watering?
Im already experiencing some trauma with my girls in the first two weeks lol learning curve is hitting me already.
Thanks for any advice you may be able to give!!
