SUMMARY: I flushed her this week on day 92 and thats it for nutes now until harvest on Saturday 10th April. I gave her a little flush on day 87 as she wasn't draining right and was still slowly dying. The runoff pH was 1 point up from the input though I'm not sure I trust the meter readings as my pen is cheap. Either way its in range and harvest is in sight so I'm not fucking around with her now.
I am making an effort to feed her 3 times per day now though some days I'm only managing 2 waterings. I read that the more frequently you water the better as each time you water it brings in fresh oxygen to the root zone. Therefore, the more frequently you water, the higher your yield will be. I should have been watering as often as possible throughout really but life and work commitments have restricted it to once-twice per day some days.
DAY 87

Tuesday 23rd March 11:00
I flushed the Amnesia with 1.5L of tap water though I didn't check the pH as the tap water is always 6.2-6.4 which is fine. However after flushing I tested the water before and after going through the medium and according to my pH pen the tap water was reading at 5.1 which simply can't be right but multiple tests showed 5.1. The runoff pH after flush was somehow coming out to 6.1 which just doesn't make ANY sense at all to me. But it's in range and too late in the game to fuck about anymore.

I made 15L of late bloom nutes with molasses and rainwater. 5L at 5.7, 5L at 5.8, and 5L at 6.0.
DAY 88
-----------
Wednesday 24th March 11:00
I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 140ml runoff (47%).
Wednesday 24th March 18:30
I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 200ml runoff (100%). [26Β°C/48%]
DAY 89

Thursday 25th March 09:30
I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 50ml runoff (17%). Shes draining so much quicker now that I do think there was a build up prior to flushing...and she does seem to be drinking more now...I don't know . [26Β°C/46%]

Sunday 28th March
I flushed her with tap water straight from the hose. Iβve heard youβre supposed to flush with 3x the container volume and so I flushed her with more than that to be sure. Moving forward I will be watering her 2-3 times per day with pH'd tap or rain water providing 20-30% runoff each feeding.
@rockbo47, I watched from seed to stoned on YouTube he did a few himself and they came out good from seed to harvest didn't yield particularly well but the end product looked good, good luck to ya I be keeping an eye on ur feed im intrigued to see how u get on in the solo cup might be something I might try myself π
Appreciate the reply happy growing mate
@Syrunz, Thanks man, yeah she's not doing bad is she. This is just an experiment and I plan to just let her do her thing in the solo cup throughout the entire grow. I MAY defoliate a little but if I can help it I plan to leave her be and just feed her. If I can get one nice dense cola I'll be stoked!
The plants look great, healthy π Thanks for all the nutrient info, I've been using water solubles and am thinking of switching to liquid products. π
@rockbo47, Agreed, I had the same difficulty finding info but this site has helped with that. I find the nutrient, water, timing combo so strain/environment specific that every new grow can be a challenge π Good Luck!
@Grisly, Thanks for the comment, glad to hear people can make use of my efforts that's why I'm documenting it so thoroughly and it is quite time consuming. When I did my first grow I couldn't find enough info on how much water to give when seedlings, when exactly to start nutes etc so figured I would create a good frame of reference. I only used liquid nutes as I could not get hold of any dry amendments but I'm comfortable with the liquid nutes now.
