If you've noticed, I've not kept a height record for the girls this grow. This was on purpose. I decided, why am I going to drive myself crazy with a height record for so early a period. I can eyeball how they are doing during the early parts of the grow and then keep an actual measurement later on in the grow. When it counts more, say...like in Week 7. The first week of Flowering. I can track the stretch.
Except you see. Your good friend Samson420 over here. He f@cked up again. It started out as such a good day too...but you all don't care...I know what you want. You want the carnage. You want the struggle. The trials and tribulations of stupid people growing weed. So here you go.
I fill up my 55 gallon drum 2 gallons at a time because that how many containers I can hold with my two hands, until I decide that 30 gallons is the magic number to stop at.
I throw in and mix my Cal-Mag.
I throw in and mix my Grow A..hold on, wait a second, what!?! Did I just add Grow A to my nutrient mix when it's the first week of Flower and I should be adding BLOOM A!?!?! Did I just contaminate my first week of flowering nutes mix with the wrong nutrient?!?! Did I just waste 30 gallons of water!?!?!
I am such an a$$hole! WTF am I gonna do. I can't just toss 30 gallons of water. That's just such a waste. I can't really replace the water either once I do decide what to do with it.
After some decision making I say F@ck it! I'm going forward. I mix in my Bloom B now...and I add Potash again. I came to the decision to add the Potash after comparing the labeled ingredients in the Grow A & Bloom A. Bloom A has a slightly higher percentage of Nitrogen and it has Potash. So I figured, It couldn't hurt any more than already using the wrong nutrient to begin with.
So this "little screw-up" made me decide to not bother to keep a height record at all for this grow. It would be tainted data and skew any kind of chart I keep. No, the single marker of this grow will have to be one thing, and one thing only. The Yield..
No pics this week, but I have to post one in order to save the week. Week 6 was the same. Status quo (minus the fluid mix-up). Steady as she goes. We'll see how she responds to my blunder next week.
<Geez I'm such a screw-up>
@Samson420, hey!
I didnt see you were growing in coco! I've seen little higher ph for flowering tho, thats why i asked ๐.
Ive done that u mention, flushing with regular water and finish with 1 liter of correct PH, I also add "atazyme" or similar in that liter!
All seems fantastic so good luck finishing'em up!! I keep an eye on your grow ๐
@Highclass, Thanks Dude. Much appreciated.
It's something that I read in the Grow Pot Cheaply book and I've seen it mentioned recently in a few videos that I have watched
The way that I understood the information...because I was feeding the entire grow to ph 5.8 I want to flush with 5.8 as well because I don't want to change the ph of of my substrate and wind up shocking the girls' system. What I read and heard was actually: Flush out your plants with 3 times the amount of water as the size of your pot. 5 gal pot = flush with 15 gallons of water (at one time). Non-PHed water is fine, tap water is fine...as long as the last gallon of water is PH correctly so it stays in your "soil" and keeps the PH that you had throughout your grow.
...but I had screwed that up anyway when I shorted myself on nutrients for the week and had to change up my game.
My last 2 grows I flushed with regular distilled water that has a normal PH of 7.1, and I think the girls finished up well and everyone agreed that they tasted great...so I'll see if flushing to 5.8 produced any noticeable results and let you know.
