Start of Week 10: Day 64 A bit of a rough week for the Skywalker. About the only good thing that happened is that she finally stopped stretching. I ended up having to supercrop the main stem as she was making her way into the light - it's pretty much as high as I can get it now. There's still a couple of tall stems in there but away from the light so I'll just let them do their thing. I so need a taller tent. I think she has a phosphorus deficiency based on the discolouration on the leaves and her red stems (seemed to have missed uploading that pic - doh!). Her PH has been plummeting through the week, from 6.2 one day and down below 4 within 24 hours, with PPMs increasing. I gave her a rez change mid week a with a higher concentration of bloom nutes. She's been a bit more stable but still has sudden fluctuations. Top-ups have featured more bloom nutes as well. I'm hoping she comes around. Always happy to hear anyone's thoughts on this issue - could be I've missed the mark on my diagnosis. She continues to drop old leaves, as expected. I cut a few of the lower scraggly branch bud sites that had no hopes of busting through the canopy and achieving their super cola dreams. Should make things slightly more airy which is good as humidity is still running high this summer: it's over 65% RH in my house so doing well keeping it under 60% in the tent. Crossing my fingers the Skywalker bounces back this week. Thanks for checking in ✌️

I don't know if you can, but when I was getting high humidity earlier this summer, I would leave my tent flap open for a few hours each day and put an oscillating fan outside blowing in. Not sure how much it helped, but it made me feel better lol. Those buds look really chunky

@@motaman311, Humidity is the worst at night after lights out but I can't leave the tent open as it would get hit with light from the nearby fluorescent where I have the seedlings germinating. I definitely need to consider a more robust dehumidifier for future grows - I just need to get the purchasing department on board 😉

hahaha - one of those moments you go.."well..they're healthy to say the least...but damn you're stretching too much!" :P I'm really liking your deep water culture setup going on...always healthy plants you got my friend 😃👌

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks! The stretch has been a challenge for sure - generously speaking, I only have about 12" of clearance between the lights and the canopy. I hope things can finish off with any major problems.

Hey Stun, If the deficiency didn’t appear until after you had the PH fluctuations, I’d put it down to lockout because it was out of PH range rather than deficiency if that’s the case. Also, is your EC figure right? I’d of thought you’d be somewhere around 1.6 by now?
StunFlower
StunFlower
@NuggetPawn, Thanks for the guidance, Nug. Hoping the increased EC will do the trick. 👍

@StunFlower, you’re doing the right thing increasing EC, I think that they probably don’t need that much, but I think the main benefit you’ll have is a stable PH, I have found over last few grows the swings reduce by 90% after the EC hits 1.2. I doubt you’ll get tip burn at the level you’re at 👌 With my nutrient regime I peak at 1.65 second/third week after flip and stay around that level until close to harvest 🙏

@NuggetPawn, I don't think deficiency appeared until after PH fluctuations. Because the PPMs kept jumping as the PH decreased my inclination was to keep PPMs and EC lower. However, I'm wondering if she wants more than I've been giving her. The browning on the leaves started as more of a purplish colour and browned through the week - some stems are purple too which I believe can be sign of a phosphorus and/or calcium deficiency. I gave her a stronger feeding with today's topup and her EC is running closer to 1.5 at the moment. Any guidance you can offer to help right the ship would be great.

Very nice harvest my friend :) Glad you tried the ScrOG - it's my go-to for all my grows and helps with resistance training as well as support. A little bit of stress and resistance training and it gives you more potent bud..but it's a fine line considering if you over stress, you risk stunting or making her go hermie. Overall, epic count for a single plant man 😎👊👌

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks. I was pretty happy with the ScrOG experience - we'll give it another go with the next run. Yes, I was really pleased with the return on this harvest. I hope it's the shape of things to come. 👍

Really glad to see you got a whole bunch of buds out of this, well done! Was getting a bit worried after hearing about your RH issues 👌 Good move getting yourself a taller tent ⛺️... Looking forward to your next diaries 😎

@NuggetPawn, Thanks buddy. I was worried about the RH issues too but it all worked out in the end. I'll still need to invest in a decent dehumidifier at some point so I can put future RH worries to bed. The new tent is all ready to go - just waiting for the next batch of seedlings to throw down some roots so I can move them into my buckets.

Once again, congrats, looks like a solid harvest. Those roots look great... nice and white and those nugs look great.

@@motaman311, Thanks! Ya, the Purps is really living up to its name. I've got some Red Poison from Sweet Seeds waiting in the wings for the next cycle - should be another good colour show if she develops as advertised.
