Cut hole at top of door to room where tent is located so I could put a window fan in it, I have this blowing out the hot grow room air to try and fight off the rising spring temps.
Sun - Added about 1 1/3 tsp of cal/mag to todays PH 6.5 water.
Tue - Watered plants with 6.5 PH water, also checked PH of effluent water, it dropped about .2 from each plant. Water may still be a little acid, which could have been my problem with leaves. Next watering I will bump the PH up to 7 of the feed water to try and pull it up a little. I trimmed the dead leaves from the plants so I can watch the progression better.
Thur - Fed plants per schedule with 6.5 PH, going light at 1/2 Canna's chart since saw signs of burn after feeding last week. Two tall plants looking strong even after pruning damaged leaves. Bushy one had 1200ppm effluent, may need some extra water on next watering to help push more of the salts out. The dwarf is now as tall as the busy one, seems to be recovering although still needs some TLC.
Sun - Water with plain tap at 6.4 PH. Stretching seems to be coming to an end, they are down to 1/4 to 1/2 inch per day. 1/2 nutes may have been pushing it a little, I see some barely noticeable burnt tips on upper new growth. Will drop to 1/4 feed schedule on feeding days.
When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water
I think its safe to remove the rhizo. Definitwlt continue the Flores because it also contained the trace elements needed. Keep the zyme and boost are entirely up to you, perhaps only using them once per weeks would be good. But I think it'll be alright to remove them soon, unless you choose otherwise. Did I see a small amount of yellowed leaves on the back left plant on the very bottom? If so you may want some cal mag in there or it may be that one received a slightly higher dose than the others did, or needs a good flush.
Best of luck the plants look pretty dang good thus far. Congrats on making it into flowering.
This one was a bit rough. I thought the purpling was a bad thing, a symptom of phosphorous deficiency. I count this as a success, I got a big enough yield to make through the next grow. :)
Thanks for the info, I knew about the trichomes but I had no idea the buds fatten up that much at the end. I harvested when they are about 80% cloudy, I wanted the strains to lean a bit to heady side. Maybe another week would have given me more yield with no major change in the trics.
Thanks for the advice, I am battling the rise in temps during the day now that summer is coming. I have been dreading putting an AC in that room, but I might have to.
next time flower at least 9 weeks for most strains, theres a handfull that are 60 days which is still 8 and a half weeks, buds fill out the most the last 2 weeks, up to 33%, and I veg for 5 weeks, but thats up to the grower, just make sure you flower as long as the strain says and.. youll get the full buds remember AMBER trichomes for stones cloudy trichomes for psychedelic.. but at least let them get cloudy.. but a good general rule is go the flowering time the seed bank suggests.. if you dont know the seed bank, do research on the strain and use the average flowering time.. hope you get some Chronic next time,, good luck
Looking good! They'd probably appreciate a few C drop in peak temperatures, especially as the grow goes on. They get all sensitive.
They're really healthy and I think you're going to be quite happy =)
