ph is a very important aspect when growing hydroponically. you are dealing with soluble nutrients and micronutrients which are dissolved into water. if your water's ph is too low or too high, many of those nutrients will not have the capability to be absorbed by your roots. with that being said, i still have not checked or adjusted ph. it's not that im lazy, its just that i dont care. (actually i am lazy too).
CaliMagic was upped a little bit to almost 3ml per gallon.
no longer running humidifier in the grow tent.
this week she is noticably starting to develop more hairs (possibly some cat) and the future buds are starting to form.
she was drinking a lot of water, about/around 1.5 gallons a day...i went 52 hours without filling and had to put in 4 gallons.
co2 from mash only bubbling a little.
@grower_not_shower, i used a bloomspect 600 watt, with both veg and bloom switched on over this one plant, it also got some light run off from two other bloomspects and a meizhi 600 non reflector. i "topped" it on march 8th after it was already pretty large. the tent held a very high humidity level through veg. i also used veg nutrients (maxi grow) which help to keep it from budding....the bloomspects give off a lot less red light past 640nm. the same strain plant i had under the meizhi, although it is still huge, it started to bud earlier, my assumption is due to the meizhis more far right spectrum of reds from 650nm-680
amazing crop brother. I'm at week 6 of vegging and planning on leaving it veg for 2 more weeks so flip at the beginning of week 8 but after seeing how big your crop got from week 6 to week 9 i might leave mine veg till week nine. do you ise RO water?
@Lou_Grows, this is an autoflower by the way. i do not use RO water, i use well water which only has a starting ppm of around 60. it is amazing though how much an extra week of veg can do under a lot of watts. i purposely tried my best to hold these in veg by keeping them in veg nutrients, as that is the only way to control an autoflowers cycle.
I keep coming back to look at this and your Dinafem. I'm just amazed at both. I think I'll be adopting some of your technique for plant number 2. Really amazing.
