D.10 placed into grow system. Source water is high 490ppm with high calcium Mag content, no additional cal Mag needed. Adjusted dimmer on lights to 300 total watts currently.
D.21 had to switch over to RO water, tap way to high couldn't get enough feed in with out blasting out the tds/ec. Plants are a bit small, if they don't turn around in next week or so I may scrap and replant.
D.23 Topper off 2 gal ro, unusual low humidity weather, should correct itself shortly
D.35 changed res
D.36 performed some needed defoliation to increase airflow. These plants are throwing out huge Shaq hands fan leaves for such short ladies.
D.37 very happy with the recovery from 1dt round of defoil. Going to bend the ladies over in a day, then 2 days later another defoil then 2 days after that 12/12 starts.
D.41 completed 2nd defoliation and started the bend over
Day 42 res change and initiate 12/12 flowering cycle
Day 43 tied down several more branches to promote a flat canopy to maximize yield. Gave them their last "veg" meal and anticipate switching to bloom formula next week.
D.48 plants are drinking well this week. Another daily EC drop with a slight ph rise. Changing over to bloom mix tomorrow with the res change.
Day 49 res change, had some AN Sensi Bloom laying around so I decided to use it until it's gone and switch to maxibloom. My God liquid nutes are expensive, Triple the cost of dry nutes.
D.51 noticed some signs of nute issues. May have been from prior res change as ph went high for 2 days.
D.53 adjusted a few tie downs and took some leaves to open airflow and light.
Day 57 Res change, ladies are looking great, recovery from brief ph lockout near perfect with all new growth pristine.
D.62 performed some much needed defoliation to open canopy for airflow and budding sites.
Day 64 res change, switched over to maxibloom to finish out this run. Did another lite round of defoliation.
D.67 another round of defoliation
D.69 another mild defoliation round
Day 71 res change and another defoliation round
D.76 another mild defoliation. Activated UV light 3 x 10 min cycles. Will increase based on response. Changed airfilter
D.92 res change, switched out CalMag+ with Grow More Mendocino - No "N" Calmag. The stink has exploded in this grow box.
D.96 probably about 7 to 10 days and she'll be done.
Ended up with some decent slightly purple buds, fairly dense and sticky. High concentration of trichomes on the bud glisten in the light. The buds smell of oranges and super glue and tastes of citrus and vanilla on the exhale. A fairly balanced high leaning a bit more to the head than body. Could smoke this all day no problems. Very productive high, good for tasking.
Unfortunately I did not have the time I would have liked to and needed for a hydro grow. I went many days with out checking pH or ec and when I did ph over 6.5 and ec at 3. This plant did not like the nute fluctuations one bit and threw nanners late and a few successfully seeded some buds, however it was late and the seeds are far from mature. Definitely keep an eye on your EC as she gets very nute sensitive. Another strain on the same res took the abuse just fine. I would love to grow it again and be more on top of my feeding.
Actual electricity usage is 1/3 of 469w. (2 other strains in room) =156.33w or .70 g/w
