Day 28 of Flower Switching over to days instead of dates...seems more impressive lol. Everything is going great. I pretty much spend most of my time just watching the garden rather than handling any of it. Check for any signs of anything negative. Nothing. Well for a couple of days the lights were too close as I found a few leaves with damage. Feed has been consistent the whole time. It would have been but I tried to push them end of week 7 beginning of week 8. Flowers are growing visibly by the day. Still a long way to go in flower. This is just the beginning of the next phase. Day 29F Fourth scrog layer went down. Flowers are really establishing themselves across the colas. No major stretching, just consistent steady growth. D30F Will be easy growing from here. Most of the time I spend in the garden will just be for observation D31F No issues, regular routine. Should note here I lost control of the feed again. Plants hit a wall with how much Ca they were eating. Up unitl this point they were eating over 200ppm a day. The next three days they stopped eating this much. Had to adjust the formula down to around 100-120 ppm of Ca. D32F Have a very simple routine now. Apply a feed at lights on. Remove any sick leaves from the canopy, apply a feed at lights off. Will be rinsing and repeating this all the way to harvest. The flowers are well and truly established and have nice colours coming through. D33F Fed the plants, removed any sick leaves. The buds are coming along a bit slow but the growth is even and steady. D34F Fed the plants, removed any sick leaves. D35F Call out to James from RQS for the promo pack, great to deal with :) Changed the formula I was giving them to match flowering, was pushing calcium too hard. Down to 100 ppm a day.

Just found out I need sulphuric acid to dissolve Sulphate of Potash so it's water soluble (unless someone knows a better way?). Anyone know the formula for how much sulphuric acid I need and what the process is?

So far, what I've found is this. Usually, when metals react with certain dilute acids, they form their respective salts along with hydrogen gas and sometimes other by products. In the case of potassium when it reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, the salt of potassium sulphate is formed in addition to hydrogen gas. 2K + H2SO4 = K2SO4 + H2 This is the reaction formula. So I guess I just need to research hydrogen and if it as a byproduct is anything to be concerned about.

Making my own bloom booster, aiming for a 0-10-10 ratio. I use powders and know that 1 tsp = 5ml. If make up a 1 litre solution, to achieve 0-10-10 would that mean 980ml of water 2 tsp of mono-ammonium phosphate 2 tsp of potassium sulphate?

I'm using phosphoric acid to pH down but might switch to citric acid, I'm noticing the amino acids I use have been bringing the pH down bit by bit but I need something to lower the it after silica. I could switch to using a silica dioxide but I heard citric acid doesn't stay stable or gets eaten up or something; so it'll be good enough to keep my pH down as not to cloud my solution when I'm mixing it. Yeah the purple stems are a dead give away but the P deficiency happened in veg, I'm working it back up right now. In regards to the Yucca I use it for the Saponins it contains (wetting agents), it's an aim on this grow to have as little to no salt build up and the Saponins assist in this. I don't know how I can really determine it's effectiveness for that particular use. All I know is my solution is stable and I literally add a pinch so the bag I got will last me for years...if it doesn't go out of date before then. It's a bit hard to compare grows as hydro and soil are really different. Anyways, I'm going to attempt making the concentrate tomorrow. Good luck and happy growing :)

It's been quite difficult finding what range cannabis Brix can be. I just took my first reading with a simple refractometer. 6.5%. It doesn't seem very high but tomatoes are usually between 3.5-5.5. Has anyone done their own plants?

I'm using the Brix count to determine how effective the extra Calcium I'm giving the plants is. There are many flow on effects to increasing calcium uptake...one of them is increased Brix. Would love for someone to show there results so I at least have a basis for comparison.

Tomatoes are not even in the same family of plants as Cannabis plants.. People say tomatoes because they can look a like when younger.. This is where the "growing tomatoes" phrase comes from.. Your not growing tomatoes your growing Cannabis.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Very impressed with your work.. Well done n keep it up.. As to ur question.. All i know is the brix is a type of plant sugar that will help improve taste and unsure if it helps assimilation with other micro/macro's.. Im sure if ur saying tomato go between 3.3-5.5 id aim at low end on this grow then go higher end on nxt crop of gelato if possible then u'll know for sure of any difference in taste or oil production.. Hope all goes well n look forward to seeing ur end results.. Stay safe n gud luck on the research.. If i see anything related i will pass on info.. 👍🍀

Glad you know what you are doing, have always used a ready mixed havn't had time to study the intricacies of nutrient making I do 7 ml per litre self PH ing Ionic nutrient gives around 2.0 E.C. job done sweet asa nut. nice set up BTW 1200 watt lights how much electric do they actually use?
Harrythehat

@Mospeada, was about to say have 2 x 600 hps over 8 x 4 area but that does not compare to 1200 of led for sure is that 1200 watts of actual electric or 1200 watts led cant wait for spyders too arrive have 800 watt giving 1600 watts for 8 foot x 4

@Harrythehat, Cheers, it's actually 1200 watts of true power, so a bit of overkill for a 4 x 8.

Are you running a Co2 tank or bags?

@Coughy, Can miss these comments sometimes....Yeah Co2 bags but I'll be switching to a burner for more control. They work well enough imo though.

I think you harvested too early, and it shows in the yield. With that setup and those QBs, you should get to 2.0-2.5 g/watt. You are at 1.3g/watt and the gentics of the plants look quite good. Next time, try living them another 2-3 weeks. The harvest time given by the seed breeder is 99% of the time bullshit to help sell the seeds.

Thank's guys. Also, I realise I'm doing some scary things on my grow, thanks for taking the wait n see approach, cause even I don't know if I'm headed for trouble yet.
