[DAY 43] - 13/07/2022
- Temp. 29° / RH: 50/60%;
- EC 1.3; PH 6.3 - In the next few days:
a) I will gradually raise the EC up to 1.5, first with a large addition of CaMg+ (up to 3/4 ml/L), then moving on to the full pre-flowering feed;
b) I try to keep PH at 6.0 to improve the absorption of cal-mag;
- Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 50 cm away from the center of the net - 18/6 cycle;
- Many leaves seems to be too green, almost dark green, we'll see next days how plant grows and fix if needed;
- I widened the canopy a bit outwards through the scrog net, I hope it will help the light penetrate better in the center;
- I also removed a single leaf that was very large and which from day one was blocking all the light in the center of the net. I was certainly wrong not to remove it before, which is a lesson to me for the next runs.
[DAY 44] - 14/07/2022
no update, just uploaded pics
[DAY 45] - 15/07/2022
- 28°/29° C - 45%/50% RH (dry day);
- PH 6.0/6.2 - EC 1.5 (1.1 preflower blend and 0.4 only CALMAG due demineralized water);
- Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 40 cm away from the highest point of the plant - 18/6 cycle;
- A bit leaf tucking today - This weekend I'll remove the ties;
- Center of the net is slowly filling up, new small branches are popping up and I hope they can fill that central hole.
[DAY 46] - 16/07/2022
- 29° C - 65% RH (wet day);
- PH 6.2 - EC 1.5 ;
- Since yesterday almost all the new leaves are growing showing signs of some problem (look pictures). Some deficiency? Excess of nutrients? Other? I ask with a growquestion and hope to understand more about it. Fingers crossed 😐
- Thanks to the advice of @Chow_13 and @SwissKush I realized that the leaves were signaling me to start flowering nutrition right away, the plant is starting to require more P and K.
I just replaced the solution in the DWC with 8 liters of bloom nutrient. In the evening I upload some pics to show how plant reacts.
[DAY 47] - 17/07/2022
- 29° C - 65% RH (wet day);
- PH 6.2 - EC 1.6;
- I just regenerated the CO2 tanks and I decided to put them outside the box because they are too bulky (the tube through which the CO2 passes is inside the grow box).
[DAY 48] - 18/07/2022
- 29° C - 65% RH (wet day);
- PH 6.1 - EC 1.7;
- TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt);
- New leaves are growing well.
- Removed the branch tie;
- Found an ant on the log, but how the hell did you get in?
[DAY 49] - 19/07/2022
- 29° C - 60% RH ;
- PH 6.0 - EC 1.74;
- TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt);
- Plant is drinking about 1.5 liters of solution per day. I'm trying to keep the PH below 6.1, at the moment it is 6 and tomorrow I try to lower it to 5.9 / 5.8; I highlight how the solution inserted on 16/07/2022 had EC 1.6 and today the EC is 1.74, it has slowly risen over the last few days. For the moment nothing alarming, I see how it proceeds and if so I intervene;
- Removed the 2-3 liters still in the DWC and inserted 8 liters of new solution: EC 1.37 - PH 5.9. The plant was not drinking well, the EC was continuing to rise and tomorrow I start the new week, so I anticipated the replacement of the solution.
EC 1.6 was too much? Or the plant was not yet ready for a full flower blend? I don't know, let's see how it goes with the new solution.
