TheUsualSuspect The extreme heat in the hydroponic buckets now that the ac is almost dead has severely slowed down the growth progress. Will change it asap, but for now I feel blessed that my girls still soldiers thru.
Topped them first time last week, seems to sprout new tops accordingly.
Also eager to see how it develops regarding the advice on nutrient regimen I took from @DWCHC, so far they seem to like it and respond well. Could be that I've been over careful with the nutes previously, we live and we learn :)

At least I will get new ac's in 2 weeks so I can turn this around before it's too late...

TheUsualSuspect First day of flowering. I love this strain, need little attention and very resistant to fluctuations in conditions.
I know some of you think I must be crazy to keep a ph of 6.5 but it's only because the breeder recommends 6.5-6.7 ph in flowering. And I've tried to lower it to see if they still perform properly in 5.8ph, they don't...
They start to remind me of my wife on pms if lower than 6.3 and are happiest at 6.5-6.7ph (just like the breeder recommended, go figure...).

TheUsualSuspect I subjected her to my version of "light" HST this week (i.e. I snap the stem ~20cm from the top so it's broken but attached, then I massage/twist the broken stem between my fingers until it's crushed and soft, but I don't tip them 90° instead I leave them standing tall). I normally tip them 90° bit this is something I started to do recently and it's more convenient with bushy tight plants (imo).

TheUsualSuspect Time for some light defoliation to allow more light penetration. Might gave gone a little overboard with the defoliation, I tend to do that.

Happy Harvest Day!
9/10

As mentioned before, there's very few things (except pure bleach) that can slow this strain down. True warrior genetics, she's the kinda girl that claims there's NO bad weather only bad clothes, and she's dressed for battle...
I had a traffic accident and broke my leg and face so I was hospitalised during trimming n weighing, my friend helped me out but only took 1 single photo of a bud, so it is what it is, sorry for a shit diary. Next one will be improved, that's a promise.

@TheUsualSuspect,not ice in the control bucket of water, this doesn't circulate around the roots, it's sole purpose is to chill the air lines only..

Hi, 300ppm with 900 ppm CO2, I'd bring the nutes up to 450-600ppm, then up to 800-900 two weeks before flipping to 12hr..

DWCHCcommented5y ago
@TheUsualSuspect,. In soil I'd be more cautious, the good part about hydro,is a bit of fresh water can reset things so to speak.. seedlings I wait till he second true leaves to begin feeding, at around the 300 ppm mark. Clones I wait till they throw roots into the solution then up to 300 ppm.. at week 2 of 300 ppm I bring it up to 600. Two weeks later up to 800.. holding there till the switch to flower, when a complete water change is done prior to switching to 12hr.. fresh flower nutes are balanced to 900 for 2 weeks then up to 1100-1200 for the duration until flush time.. pH I keep at 6 for veg and babies, 5.5-5.8 for flowering.. so far so good.. I do calmag when the leaves begin to show signs... Cheers! Keep it Green!

@DWCHC, will try to follow your regiment on this diary as much as I can/dare. Let's see how it works out...
These are just starting their 3rd week of veg, so next week I raise it to 450, then next 600 and so on. Will be close enough to what you advice.
This particular strain prefers a ph of 6.2 in veg, and 6.5-6.7 in flowering (according to the breeder). Normally I'm used to strains that thrives in 5.8 so it's new for me to keep it this high. Any opinions?

DWCHCcommented5y ago
@TheUsualSuspect,most breeders give the soil pH, but cation exchange is slightly different in solution, and a slightly lower pH is recommended.. if you notice lock out begining, lower your pH to 5.8

nexuscryptocommentedweek 85y ago
it seems you have too much heat and low humidity level ...
maybe you need a better extraction system and air inflow
I 'd rather turn some lights off before you get your new AC
and keep water in big recipients to raise humidity level
try to keep max 24ºC solution and air temperature ;)
btw plans look very nice and strong ... just roots are a bit overheated so keep going :)

@nexuscrypto, , 🙏 thanks mate. I followed your advice about the lights and dimmed them down to 50% and they immediately responded with vigour and health.
Well, that and the advice I got from @DWCHC regarding my feeding schedule has knocked me out of a folder I've been stuck in for way too long now (the "less-is-more" folder, which is a very good and safe folder to be in if you never want to elevate your skill).
But I m free at last... thank you both 👊
