So I topped one zkittlez auto, LST tied down 3 zkittlez, and leaving one alone. I want to compare results.
I done 2nd topping of the lemon cookies (photoperiod) and tied it down a little.
Gorilla glue auto still has curled leaf edges. I moved it to the back to help with stress. I wonder if I will lollipop it some. Shes week 6 I think.
Found whole 5gal bucket of mite,gnats,&moths in my rye for mycology. I had it open and used it before I realized. Tried to clean the area and dumped the bad grains. I'm terrified of the spider mites getting to my tent. I got neem oil in case.
I avoid foliar spraying at all costs. Unless my RH is extremely low or I need to fix a nutrient deficiency quickly, I won't spray, and dont recommend it either. Foliar sprays cause more issues than they solve IMO.
Ok so I watered gorilla glue auto today with PH water (10/26).
The run off started at 6.1
I watered her with 7.5ph water (1gal) runoff 5.8ph
Another gallon at 7.5ph , runoff was 5.6
Another gallon of ph 7.7 water with runoff 5.4
It keeps getting lower! Why?
Strawberry fields soil
I had a quick look at your diary and they look pretty nice so no reason to panic too much.
Your pot size is 15L so if you want to flush what’s in there out I would start and 3x the pot volume so 45L. Strange it’s dropping but maybe there is a build up in the middle to upper layers of the soil which is working it’s way to the bottom of the pot the more you water it.
I am no soil expert but would definitely pour a load of water through until ph is back in range. Probably take them over a sink or bath etc.
Yeah, I dont let them have runoff sometimes. My question now is about my light. HLG 550 v2 rspec.
When should I turn it up for flowering? Seems like the zkittlez that's flowering best, leaves are turnt up, so I'm scared to crank it up yet.
Before Flowering in my opinion. like after 3 weeks they can start to take a lot of light.. Turning up the light now will probably cause a negative or adverse reaction. So be prepared for that if/when you decide to. When the amount of photons increase the amount of transpiration and intake increases.. You already seem to be having a few nutrient issues and cranking the light up will only give you more issues. But that being said Light is one of the most important things for cannabis growing.it has the biggest impact on yield. It's always better to have plants grow into light and to gradually increase things then it is drop the light 6 inches or crank the light up 25%.. 100% power 24 inch height is what I'd be doing with those lights but I am in hydro.. And Transpiration is a huge part of plant biology and Water is required for transpiration.
