First Grow

ok, so this week a lot happened! Tons of growth now, first signs of the plants showing sex and starting to stretch. next week we'll be into flower. Still trying to get my nutrient solution down, seeing signs of N toxicity and possible Cal/Mag def, especially with the Magnum, but the 1/4 Pounders are very green as well. Scared to do a flush, don't think it is that bad yet, so I started lowering the amount of N in my mix, eventually cut the Gro out entirely and adding more Bloom now, trying to keep it at or below 1EC. Seems to be working as the plants are all perking up and responding to more frequent fert at a lower EC. Other issues are I think I might have barnacle mites on the stalk? Not sure, they don't seem to change or hurt the plants, Also seem to getting fungus gnats now with the more frequent watering. been treating with neem oil and diatomaceous earth. Might also let it the medium dry out for a day here and here to keep the gnats under control but I'm worried about letting the pH spike. Overall good progress this week.😀
