9/27- Countdown time! Daily trichome checks mandatory. All four are getting 1/2 gallon of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7-6.8 @ 70 deg. I've dropped the water temp 5 deg. and run the tent temp's down to 62 deg. during lights off maxing @ 78-80 deg. lights on which is doing a great job of bringing out some fantastic coloration on all the ladies!. All are continuing to receive 4 hours of supplemental UVA/UVB during the middle of the 19/5 light cycle.
9/29- The Zkittles is a 80 day indica leaning hybrid and the Gelato OG's are 75 day mostly sativa hybrids. The Zkittles are short, bushy and stocky, while the OG's are noticeably taller (especially the #1 pheno which has a huge main cola) with the #2 pheno growing in SOHUM Living Soil is an absolute BEAST with multiple HUGE cola's that sway in the breeze!
10/1- Checked trichomes tonight and am going to put the Zkittles #1 and Gelato OG #2 in the dark tomorrow night for 48 hrs. The Gelato OG #1 will probably go dark in 2-3 more days, while the Zkittles # 3 will be the last to go as she's a week or so behind the rest.

I'm running all 10g fabric pots- Six of them are filled with Fox Farms Happy Frog mixed with Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate, two are filled with SOHUM Living Soil. Every pot's medium ph's @ 6.2-6.8 except one SOHUM which is @ 5.2-5.4! WTH? Don't know how she's alive!
Must be genetics, maybe that strain was breed in hydro for past generations, i have a plant that drinks 7.5 ph water and when i lowered it to 6.3 she started getting sick. Had to go back to 7.5 ph. Smh.
Hi, im getting into growing and use sohum, what does the " 2 1/2g" mean when you say "2 1/2g straight non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4". And what type of water do you use, Ro, Tap, Etc.
Thank you any help is greatly appreciated.
@CainHeim, I use well water from the tap which runs around 200ppm and 7.4-7.8 ph before I adjust. The 2 1/2g was referring to how much TOTAL water I gave which was split evenly between my plants. DON'T over water.... biggest 'noob' mistake. Let your plants tell you when they are thirsty and take care of what you can't see (the ROOTS) and the rest will take care of itself! Good luck with your grows and Merry Christmas! ππ
@TheCannaProphet, thanks for the reply. I got fungus gnats in my NLS as well. For whatever reason they all disappeared after my first application of SLF100 even though it's completely unrelated. Not sure how or why but they never came back.
@HashCakes, Thanks for checking out my diary! I had two growing in SOHUM soil and one did excellent, the other had issues. When I checked the ph of the SOHUM with the plant with issues I found that it was @ 5.2....WAY too low. I don't know if it was a bad bag or what but it pissed me off. The NLS plants did really well but using it brought Fungus Gnats, which could have only come from the NLS as I've NEVER had them previously. So now I've gone back to my Ol' Reliable Mother Earth Coco/Perlite with 100% Organic Dry Amendments or Liquid Nutrients depending on the run. Hope this helps you...Grow Strong! ππ
I have the seeds Gelato OG in my Run 2 diary & one of them is a freaking monster!! By far the biggest plant in my tent! Canβt wait to see how yours turns out friend! Happy growing!βοΈπΌπ±
