Strange week again. On day 9 it self topped itself. Started new growth from first node. New growth looks a little more normal. First sets of leaves were deformed and holey. No pests present in the tent. So damaged genetics??
@Godsgrower316,ya she is/was very dense without using the dowels she would have toppled over. I'll update dry weight when shes done drying and i give the buds their final trimming before going into jars for curing.
Looking good
man, if you want a organic pH down get yourself a squeeze bottle of lemon juice , it works great and won't harm the beneficials in the soil.
Peace
@Canadian_Gardener,you do know the plant is what is changing the ph if your always putting in the same water. The plant changes the ph to be able to absorb certain nutrients. With thats said is all we do is try to keep the ph in a range that keeps it easier for the plant to get to the level of ph it needs with out working harder
@Inganjawetrust, Thanks for the idea friend. Id like to try an experiment. I know that my cities water is high in ph being 7.5 to 8.2 the last year ive been monitoring it. I know when i water atva 6.2 to a 6.3 when i check my cocos ph in two days its risen to 6.6 to a 6.7 and my style of grow is to high. I want to take my water after if dechloramined it usin sodium ascorbate and take 2 cups one ill ph down it using my general hydroponics to a 6.22ph and one with lemon juice to a 6.22 then monitor it for 3 days and see how much they fluctuate. Im curious to see if the lemon juice will keep it lower for longer. Thanks for the heads up ill keep you posted and happy growing friend.
Hi have you ever grown with this optic 4 ? How much weight did u harvest from it ? I use the same light. The most i pulled was 250grams of 2 plants. Im not sure how high can hang the light above the cannopy. Greets โ๏ธ
@Lazuli, Hey how are you. I have used this light in a 48x48x80" mars hydro 1680D tent for 4 grows. Number 5 is now. In the grows with this light i cant remember the numbers id have to look for exact dry weights but always pulled well over a LB dried from 4 plants each run. As for the hanging heights they say. Seedling 36". Vegetative 36". Flower 24". I try and keep it in this range. When this light is on full spectrum it does get pretty hot in there so i do have good ventialation to keep the heat down. I hope that helps.
