Note: Moisture and Temp readings are done in the mornings.
Lights are on an automated 12/12 schedule unless stated otherwise.
Quick Summary: This week I fed the plants only 1 time. Since all plants are drinking slower, all were watered less, and less frequently. AK1's issues seemed to slow (not stop) this week. Most of AK2's leaves are gone, the damaged leaves haven't gotten worse and the remaining green leaves haven't been damaged as much. Since I'm seeing green on AK2, and nothing smells or looks too weird I'm going to continue growing. North is still growing strong, started the weirdest and is pulling through strong.
What's weird is I think all plants including North is being affected by the same thing, but AK2 is suffering the most.
Harvest tracking:
- North may have about 1-2 weeks to go, most trichomes are looking cloudy and some are clear. I'm waiting until I see virtually no clear ones and slightly amber ones.
- AK1 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured), most likely less yield too since it's sick midway into flower
- AK2 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured)
Day 92 -
Manually Watering.
💧: Tap: X pH
Adjusted with pH Down.
AK1: 1 liter, 1/2 Distilled, 1/2 Tap (6.45 pH, 0.5 ml FloraMicro, 0.5 ml FloraGro, 0.75 ml FloraBloom) ~430 PPM ~830 EC
AK2: 0.7 liter Distilled Water (6.25 pH, 2 ml H2O2)
North: 1 liter, 2/3 Distilled, 1/3 Tap (6.10 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 2.25 ml FloraBloom)
💦: 41% (39-61) - 🌡️: 25C (22-29)
Day 93 - Away for a few days, setting up auto water with pH'd Tap
Manually Watering.
💧: Tap: X pH
Adjusted with pH Down.
AK1: 0.75 liter (6.45 pH)
AK2: 0.75 liter (6.25 pH, 2 ml H2O2)
North: 0.75 liter (6.45 pH)
💦: 41% (39-61) - 🌡️: 25C (22-29)
Day 94 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered.
💦: C% - 🌡️: xC
Day 95 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered.
💦: C% - 🌡️: xC
Day 96 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered.
💦: C% - 🌡️: xC
Day 97 - AK2 is basically down to its buds, the lower section is the only place with some greenery left. I guess I'll be taking it into a leafless harvest. Surprisingly the soil is only slightly dry after 3 days of no watering. AK1 has a lot of fan leaves, especially in the upper section starting to turn completely yellow. It seems like only fan leaves are affected.
Manually Watering.
💧: Tap: X pH
Adjusted with pH Down.
AK1: 0.7 liter (6.45 pH, 0.75ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 2ml FloraBloom)
AK2: 0.7 liter (6.25 pH)
North: 0.7 liter (6.45 pH, 0.75ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 2ml FloraBloom)
💦: X% - 🌡️: xC
Day 98 - Tracking what little remaining leaves AK2 has for symptoms of improvement or issues. Cut some more yellowing fan leaves off AK1. North still chugging along just fine.
💦: 34% (34-56) - 🌡️: 28C (23-30)

Week 6 of flowering 10/23/24
Changed nutrients to fit week 6
Buds are getting even bigger and thicker.
Defoliated a little.
Noticed a PH of 4.8 in runoff, same as the late stage of flower in my previous grow.
After lowering feed EC, CalMag on max strength, flushing with 0.8ec nutes for 3 days in a row, nothing changed and PH stayed the same.
Read in a forum thread about constant low PH in the rootzone when growing in coco.
Got great info about CEC, water, nutrients and little chemistry from a detailed explanation. (https://www.icmag.com/threads/recurring-problem-with-low-ph-in-coco.338385/page-2#post-10843765)
Flushed plants with tap water + calmag, PH 6.5.
Used 120L total for 4 plants in 2 days.
1st day: flushed after lights on, did not water until 2 hours before lights off and flushed again.
Runoff PH went up a little, but not to the correct range.
2nd day: flushed after lights on and checked runoff EC + PH, of each plant.
Fortunately, PH got corrected to 5.8, and I returned to automatic watering 4 times a day (with 10%-20% runoff).
Thoughts:
In the last grow, I thought I had a problem because of salts buildup in the media with constantly low PH in late flower.
I didn't fully correct the problem till chop day.
Same problem here in the same stage of flower without the salt buildup.
After reading every forum I could find about the problem, I understood that my bloom nutes were the main problem because of their chemical composition.
The coco ability to exchange ions lead to the low PH in the rootzone.
It got worse quickly because I did not use any tap water with the feedings, so the PH could swing easily and drastically without resistance.
After I looked online for the T.A. feeding chart, I saw they used TriPart Grow till week 7 of flower, the Nitrogen type they are using will up the PH.
CocoForCannabis chart that I'm using, has not enough nitrogen to combat the bloom nutes PH down effect in flower.
It gets even worse with RO water because there are no minerals that can resist PH down.
Now I'm using 30% tap water with rest RO water, T.A. TriPart feeding chart with calmag and silica.
Hopefully I have corrected the problem for the rest of the grow.
It wasn't easy, because there were lots of variables that worsened the problem quickly.
Now I'm checking runoff PH and EC daily.
Update on next week :)

This week has been great.I'm glad that I was able to pull the plant when I needed to. The weather out here isn't always the best coming towards the end of October. How ever i handle it the best we can. What ive learned to do is wet trim before hang dry. Heres some phots of these glossing nugs. Iknkw ill lose a bitin water weight but im happy none the less. Fire 🔥
This has been a great grow, I learned a lot from Growing out here in new mexico. It was amazing to be able to train these plants 4 into one using training techniques. LST, HST, Defolation & topping all play a roll. It is fun to learn and sharpen my skills.
I hope everyone enjoys my diary.
Thank you so much Divine seeds. I appreciate the free seeds and the friendly community competition 👌
There's a lot of good growers outthere and I wanna learn from all. Much love ❤️ I'll be back with a smoke review soon

Great strain, would recommend.
Nice smoke/vapor, friends love it, stupefying and euphoric, no heavy couch lock like heavy indicas.
Taste great in The Mighty vaporizer, citrus with a hint of pine.

Going to let this girl keep growing the center cola is much bigger than the others and has always been lagging behind in the grow.At one point I took this plant outside for 2 weeks during early veg due to it not looking so good and thought it might bring her back.Well she perked up and starting developing the very first day outside.I put her back in the 5x5 under the SE 7000 and she took it well and fit right in with the other ladies.As of today she is unfortunately in a smaller tent under a smaller spider farmer light but doing fine while I dry out the other girls in the 5x5.
