****Week 4 - Aug 10 to 16, 2020 - Days 22 to 28 from germination******
She has seen further growth this week and finally getting greener. She has been light in colour but its time to get her a little happier and get the nitrogen up so she can grow more. Added some support to pull her straighter out of the soil and have her stand up better.
She as fed on four different days this week. With her being an auto I have been trying to keep her feeding light this run. May have it a little too light but time will tell. Too much feed and she will stunt her growth so keeping that in mind. Verified the runoff numbers on day 24 and it was 900ppm with 6.6pH. Starting to see some drift on the pH. Keep the feed pH in the 5.8 range and not higher, water at a lower pH as well going forward. She reacted well to the CalMag only feeding with 5.2pH feeding on day 27.
Little more detail:
Aug 10/20 - Day 22
- 1.5L feed - Vitathrive, VeloKelp @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag and Piranha @ 1ml
- 925ppm and 5.9pH
- she is getting greener now.
- full strength feeding today to help build up the medium as she matures.
Aug 12/20 - Day 24
- 2L feed - RhinoSkin and Microbes @ 1.5ml, Vitathrive, Dual Fuel, CalMag @ 1ml
- 700ppm and 5.8pH
- checked run off numbers today and she is not bad at 900ppm and 6.6pH but would like to bring both down a bit more.
- added support to her main stem today.....feels a little less firm than I would like.
Aug 15/20 - Day 27
- 2L feed - CalMag @ 1ml
- 285ppm and 5.2pH
- let her dry out for a couple of days and then hit her with lower pH watering.
- see how she reacts to this in the next days.
Aug 16/20 - Day 28
- 2L feed - Rhino, CalMag, Vitathrive, Liquid Weight @ 1ml, Dual Fuel, VeloKelp @ 1.5ml
- 925ppm and 5.6pH
- She has reacted well to drying out and the lower pH CalMag feed yesterday.
- Since pots were so dry the other day I fed her again today
That wraps up week 4 for this girl. She has been growing and doing well this week. She is one of the best auto’s growing in the tent right now and will continue to work on keeping her feed light as she starts her transition soon.
Sorry for the delay on the updates last two weeks......finishing up summer holidays and trying to enjoy the last days of summer in my neck of the woods 👍☹️ Have a great week peeps and hope you are finding yourselves outside and getting some sun😃
