So, its the week the girls get to grow up and Shine...1st Day of 12/12. Thinking how much fun this will be going from a 6/2 but what the hey, they need their beauty sleep now to blossom - may take a few days longer to transition but....
Received a Torus Hydro Inline in the post today (Really didn't think I was going to get it but fair f**ks to Torus Hydro, they delivered!!!) but wont put it in until next grow. Story behind this is I bought a Torus Hydro Standard...Didn't realise that its pretty ineffective unless your setup is roots in (Which it is now, but that's by the by...). I brought it up to my vendor that it was killing my pH to some serious acidic areas and in all fairness, in their sales docs, it states my setup probs not right but I thought what the hey, lets contact Torus just to make sure its not a fault as when researching this last year, the inline didn't exist and claimed to be OK for my setup. Also, nowhere in this region sells the inline so was pretty snookered. Well, the guys at Torus were AMAZING...Seriously amazing (The bad press they get on YouTube from a couple of people must be from some seriously bad manners on the youtubers part!!!). All they asked for was my Proof of Purchase (Which just happened to have my dispatch address in it) and under a week later, an inline arrived from Germany!!! Cant wait to try this in next run as I do go away a few weekends so pH management a pain in the balls when you're not there!!! :P
So, they're now under the Sylvania 600W Dual Spec HPS and SCROG'd so no more "Real Colour" shots for the rest of the grow. Now just to keep them happy and fed!
Oh, also got 1st COVID vaccination today so hopefully my arm doesn't fall off or grow somewhere else - Had that Covid back last November and it was a DICK!!!
** Update ** - trying a flush. Not pure tap water but close. Added 60ml pure blend tea, 50ml active boost, 50ml fulvic and 50ml Sensizym to a 50L tank. Probs add 5ml ATA Clean just to start to cleaning process too. Last days now!!! :)
@Ferenc, It was very good for the veg stage, I have to say. The Wedding Cake that went into it native has been as strong as an ox. No issues, not even a stretch with massive leaves...the Pink Kush and Strawberry Lemonade did go 18/6 for a week or 2 before I went 6/2 for heat management (I will do all grows going forward 6/2 btw) and they were stretchy on the flip.
@@hillman, Dude, no joke...pre-planned it 3 months in advance before I had even bought the nutes. I was pretty spot on with the numbers (give or take maybe 1-2 ml for ease. This week should have been Base 80, Grow 32 and Bloom 64 but the round down and up on the grow/bloom just a bit easier hitting the number in the grad cylinders!!!) and hitting the EC's i expected. Have an excel calc made up for the kind range now myself! :) and happy to see they are growing well and are showing no signs of burn or deficiency from the plan!
Tank change tonight...they drinking at least 5L a day now the 4 of them so this is the highest EC they receive this week (unless I go against what I was thinking of doing and adding a PK9/18 booster in on week 4 which will spike them up some more).
@GMSgrows, Using a Torus Hydro in the tank...I set it to 6 and it auto swings the pH between 5.8 to 6.2 so as the plant can get what it needs as it needs it. Dont know if I should go with the very light feed plan this coming thursday (Still have this weeks stuff to upload, about to do it now) or go with the Shogun Dragon Force. 2-3 of the plants flowers hairs have all contracted and looking like on the last stage of ripening while the Strawberry Lemonade still got some white hairy flowers!
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
Please feel free to check out/show love on some of my recent grows (Tropicana cookiez/Venom OG/Banana Mango )
Also… I have a lots of growing tips on my profile page (comments section)
Edit - Added PK Warrior in the end, but very little compared to recommended...added at 0.2ml/L as opposed to the 0.5-1ml/L (1ml/L usually used the 1st week [week 4] and then 0.5 for the following 3 weeks).
