Week 9 done....plants are continuously making strides. I have dripped the ppms to 1000 this week as i have encountered a deficiency. I believe it is a phosphorus deficiency as it is showing all the signs. I believe it is a direct result from the intensity of my leds as well.
I have kept the leds at a high intensity to give the lower plants plenty of light for flowering.....but in the process the big girl was getting blasted with really high lux. The leaves have taken a bit of a beating but i hope that with a bud booster supplement, things will start to get back on track. I have brought the intensity of the lights down today and hopefully will also help.
Quite frankly i believe that i am overpowering my tent with leds. I am pushing 480 watts and i should be around 320 for a 3x3.
Buds are forming nice and should see some good growth this week. I did a defoliation 3 days ago and it has given the colas some space to absorb light.
I hope the deficiency subsides and i can put on some weight this week.....fingers crossed. See you in seven days....and happy growing all.
@DreamOn, Thanks im enjoying this grow and the style of growing that im doing.....i am hoping for a little stretch but the plants are healthy. We will see real soon! Thanks for the post!
@Ferenc, thanks, its my first time using top drip through the entire grow....i have started seeds before using top drip for dwc but this will be a grow full of learning.
A lil luck cant hurt lol.
