2nd run/ Early Skunk

Shagrath Flowering week 1 I've been giving lots of CO2 straight from the bottle and next week my solenoid valve and controller should arrive so I can keep the CO2 constantly in 1500PPM. The temps in the tent are almost 30C all the time so it is the optimal with the added CO2. I realized I have been giving WAY too much Magnesium 'cos I somehow forgot how much magnesium Epsom salt contains. 1g/l Epsom salt (MgSO4) has ~200PPM Mg and 260PPM S so my 1g/l was too much and that is the reason for that early calcium def tool. I had been pretty lazy and my reservoir was almost empty and EC rose to 3.3 but I filled it up with new nutes and now EC 2.3 pH 5.9 Its crazy how these girls seems to handle any kind of situation without barely even showing any symptoms, or maybe I just know how to treat he ladies 😉🌲❤️

Shagrath Growing healthy and buds forming faster than in the other strains in the tent Did some defolation again 'cos she re leafed itself so fast!

Shagrath Week 3 of flower Same same but different. I cant but laugh how simple this run has been so far. No need to adjust anything between reservoir fillings and I have not changed waters at all in this grow. Bacteria and all seems to be pretty helpful Stretch seems to be over and now the plant is focusing energy on bud growth.

Shagrath Week 4 of flowering Added 35l of water and nutes to reservoir. She looks happy!

Shagrath Week 5 of flowering Nice looking buds and growing healthy. The other strain in the same tent produced few balls and pollinated the girls. This plant has taken the least damage and I think she might not have many seeds on it.

Shagrath Week 6 of flowering This is one beautiful plant and those biggest buds looks pretty dense.

Shagrath Week 7 of flowering This girl is coming to and end and I think there is maybe 10 days before harvest or something. The yellowing and purpling is probably some fall colors and not deficiency but I'm not sure

Shagrath 8th week of flowering I have been checking the trichomes daily and now they are almost all cloudy. I've been too lazy and busy to start the flush so I will do it tomorrow and harvest at end of the weeks so there will be 4 days flush with basically pH'ed water humic acid and the leftover salts thats buildup in the root zone. I think this girl is going to produce quite a yield!

Shagrath Flowering week 9 Ripening up nicely and the harvest is happening in two days' Girls have been given cold pH'ed water for few days

Shagrath HARVEST TIME! - 64 days at 12/12 So I had three different strains growing in the same tent and in the same hydro setup and I divided my whole setup with three to give little bit more accurate info about every strain in the tent. SETUP Lights: 2xCREE CXB3590 50W 1x240W Quantum board with far red, UR and IR 2x120W Quantum board with far red Tent Sinowell 60cm x 120cm x 210cm Hydro DIY Drip/Ebb & Flood with 90l water reservoir and 60l root zone filled with hydroton This second grow in the books was a whole lotta easier than the first. I used pure salts as nutrients and whole lotta additives from different companies and I only changed the water from the rez when I started flushing the girls. I did not adjust the pH or anything else between the topping of the rez. It was so stable all the time that it kinda makes me laugh how good it was! The whole growing cycle I only topped the reservoir with fresh water, nutrients and additives and tried to understand what nutrients was eaten by the plants and top accordingly. I also tested the phosphorus myth from Advanced Nutrients (https://issuu.com/advancednutrients/docs/advanced_nutrients_magalog_2017/137) and I tried to keep my phosphorus level under 60PPM at all times and only used mycorhizzae to provide the needed phosphorus. I did not run in to any major problems with these girls and they looked happy the whole time and my ec was 1.5-3.5 the whole time but still no burn or def/tox nute burn, nothing. I also used an CO2 bottle and controller and tried to maintain >1300PPM CO2 levels the whole floering cycle while my temps were at 28-30 all the time.
