Got hydro halos setup because I need to be able to go away for work for a few nights, Was actually really easy to setup and works awesome, I got most the parts plus all my nutes from my local hydro store. I'm using cocoforcannabis.com as a guide for most of this grow and his site includes details on how to setup an auto watering system.
At this point I'm still using Professors Go Green for cal-mag and following the GP3 feed chart to mix nutes to the right ratio and then diluting with cal-mag water to target EC (300-400EC for wk 1).
Some of the plants had clawing leaves and were really dark green - I read that this could be caused by nitrogen toxicity and I'm concerned this may be due to the Go Green as it seems to be intended as more of a deficiency fix rather than a regular use cal-mag supplement for coco. Some of the leaves on one of the plants started getting rust spots like calcium deficiency, Canna Coco comes pre-buffered and I was adding Go Green so it had plenty, I think the likely case is that nitrogen toxicity may be blocking calcium intake also. I intend to change to Green Planets Pro-Cal which has low nitrogen and is made to work with their line of nutes.
Also we named the girls! My roommate and I were pretty baked if you can't tell...
I am in Coco at the end of week 5 flower. I am wondering how to time the flush if I'm planning on flushing for 10-14 days before harvest? I have a USB microscope to check tricomes also.
Hi my friend :-) If your trichome heads are about 80% milky and 20% clear you can flush :-) If they are 70% milky and 40% amber you can harvest ๐๐ It looks great bro ๐๐
Thoughts on trimming in flower? I trimmed underneath and lightly defoliated the top about 2 weeks in to flower. I'm mid-way through week 5 now, not sure if I should just leave them or trim some lower larf. Not planning on touching fan leaves until final week before harvest.
Thanks for your help on the flush timing question @MadeInGermany and @Fusion - very helpful indeed.
I'll start putting up photos from the USB microscope in the coming weeks so we can nail this harvest time - I'm excited :D
