This time I could be home at lights on so they will have a mixed feed with a little PK.
EC still low and will be upping the base nutrients starting tomorrow.

5L of nutrients made.
It is nice to be able to feed when the lights come on makes a massive difference in my management of this grow.
Hopefully fingers crossed and praying to God we can get to harvest.
In a few weeks i have some time off so i can really try to dial it all in.

The above feed is to offset the nitrogen in the coco. I have been adding EcoThrive charge too much which has cause lockout due to excess nitrogen in the soil, at first I thought it could have been PK but some research and listening to Brandon Rust I have come to my conclusion that it is a nitrogen toxicity. I was adding far too much organic microbes and supplements.
Basically nitrogen locked out Calmag that caused tip burn, the plants or on the edge of a nitrogen toxicity but because they’re in Coco and have had a mixture of organic and synthetic the organic side has acquired to much nitrates locking out calcium to the tips of the leaves
The BBM has had tip burn the cheese looks too green, both are dark green but the Cheese has more foliage to store the nitrogen hence why little tip burn but more of a vegetative colour, the BBM has hardly any fan leaves left after a strip early in flower. I also think I defoliated too early, but then to second guess I believe if I didn’t feed to much organics the flowers would be much further along.
After the previous 2 feeds I can notice the buds picking back up again. Hopefully I can continue with this mix I’m using now and get some consistent bud growth over the next week. I’ll be glad when this one is over. The summer heatwaves are just tiring when you’re growing especially in coco.
I remember years ago I had issues like this and I said to myself never start a grow in the summer…

Messed up my measurements a little and only realised after. Big Bud I only put 1ml/L and big fruits I did 2ml/L should have been the other way round…
Otherwise looking ok, returned home the temp was 35c and humidity 78% that is not good…
Tomorrow I will try to get everything In order again, still going to feed this current program for another week, then I will go back to a more balanced feed using more organics for the final push.

Saturday 1st August (day 35) 2am
Scraped the top layer of coco exposing roots, applied some great white after doing another flush and feed.
As you can see I’m imputing a low EC and the run off is gradually spiking up everyday.
Only way to reduce it is to do massive amounts of nutrients.
Note to self, make sure the timer is set up so I can be home for lights on watering. Never grow in the summer in coco again.
