Sorry for the crappy pics on 1/25
Anyhow
Another smooth week. I love growing during winter. I kicked up nute levels this week. Skipped calmag and used a pinch of epsom instead in ro water. Didn't really need to as no signs of deficiencies. I doubt I'll go that route next run; however, we'll see what the upcoming passing days reveal. I've Just been tucking leaves under bud sites and spinning pots as far as training goes. Smell is getting stronger fo sure. Sex Pistils showing on a few . Still waiting for bud sites to display activity before switching from 500 watt 4k to 3kr bulb.
1-26: Mixed nutes & ROW today for the ladies feeding tomorrow morning. included are pics of the old juice bucket, air stone, and pump I use to activate all the goodness Aurora innovations has to offer from their Roots Organic line up. Might I say, I'm quite pleased with their line up to date. From the Medium to nutes they have me sold for now. However, instead of using the original soil blend next run I'll use the 707 blend. Only cause I'm a "nute" junky with OCD!!! Robocop??? Anyone,????

Checked on the ladies tonight and low and behold all are beginning to flower. I know their age dictates they probably should be by now, yet I can't help but wonder if it also has something to do with the epsom regiment previously administered. Honestly, I was worried I might have over did it a little with the N content in the nutes. Yet, as the day progressed, the tips/new growth/stretch just looked better and better. They're definitely switching into flower mode and stretching their bones. I ponder whether or not they could handle me admistering some good old Kushman Chiropractic moves. My first time with autos, personally I gravitate towards photos. I was also jonesing to top but refrained. Next FREEBIE autos I get, IT'S ON!!!

So far so good I suppose. Next round of nutes I'll lower ppms to 500 as I got some white tips. Due ot the amino aide no doubt. SC3 showing signs of slight N toxicity. Need to also adjust quantities of N. and add K & P to their regiment. I feed my ladies a liter every 2 days not every 24 hours. I wish this could be adjusted on the site. Lowering humidity today another 3%. I'll also install the 3kr bulb tonight and have to include a dehumidifier inside the tent at some point I'm sure. I raised the light fixture yesterday and forgot to adjust it's fan so tent temp got unacceptably high, 87. Adjusted the fan this morning so temps should stay in the healthy zone. Going to give RO only next watering with just Rain andincluded fish shit. Probably reduce nitrogen quantities to 1/2 a tsp(2.5ml). Might ommit the budda grow and just use surge and aminoaide with next nute run or just reduce N additives including base to 2.5 mls. I'm still trying to figure out the perfect balance. Seeing how this run is autos I doubt I'll find the sweet spot. Working progress I suppose.

Watered today with just calmag and rain. I'll do the Same next wetting with fish shit added . Ladies are Starting to pronounce their presence to the whole house, they smell very pleasant IMO. To the wife not so much. Carbon filter goes on tomorrow. Pretty much decided to defoliate in a week or so. 3KR bulb installed today.

Just coasting along. So far so good. Watered with RO , calmag, & rain, lower dose of fish shit. Plants handled it well. Minor white tips. Nothing too bad. Still haven't installed carbon filter. I really need to as smell is now strong. I picked up a big humidifier off marketplace for a steal. I'm still just tucking leaves and spinning pots. Bumped light to compensate for growth.
All good here. Grow on !!!!!
