D21: ZG is is rolling along. Her roots are growing with gusto! I was quite surprised to see how shaggy she is already when I did the rez change today. PH has been pretty steady most of the week but her PH did drop quite a bit towards the end of the week; she was down to 5.2 before I did the rez change today (I neglected her altogether yesterday).
High water temps have been an issue, although this bucket has been slightly cooler than the other sitting next her. Temps were sitting slightly under 72F when I did the change today. This is the first time I've employed the floor liner in the tent and am wondering if it's providing some unwanted insulation to the buckets. I took it out today to see if it makes a difference. I'm also making plans to vent the tent outside rather than directly into the room so hopefully that should help too. I'll freeze up some water bottles to cool things down if I need to take further action.
FIMed her a few days ago on D18. She's bounced back from that with no issues. Looking forward to watching her bulk up and branch out.
Thanks for tuning in โ๏ธ
Looking good man. I was gonna mention it looks like she took a big ph swing, but you look like you got it on the mend. Nice job so far man, bushy af! Cheers ๐จ
@StunFlower, Indeed! I'm going to give a couple more days of swelling before chopping her down. I popped my last Acapulco Gold seed but I plan to take some clones to keep the train going ๐
I swear I just had the same problem with my grow and EC meters! I was using an old cheap one and burning my plants. I bought a bluelab EC pen and instead of feeding 650-700 PPMs it was 1100+ lol.. same scale and everything.
Your plants look great, lots of frost!
@Oozle, Thanks fort commiserating! It's so frustrating to 'think' you're making all the right moves only to have the technology fail you. I'm trying to get more tuned into my plants but I still need a crutch ๐ Nice to have some reliable instruments now. Hopefully our troubles are behind us both ๐
@CannaScuzzyB, She sure is. She seems to be putting all that food/drink to good use though. I'm getting very excited seeing how well everything is stacking up. ๐
