OG EVERGALDE--- Day 79
PINEAPPLE RUNTZ---- Day 72
Doing well for wk 10, almost to harvest. Its actually Day 81 as I post this. Forgot to post last week bc I had shoulder surgery Monday and became a 1 arm bandit for a lil.
Struggling with ph drift, especially when using florabloom with little calmag as base. Plants havent consumed much in a week, maybe 1 gal H2O, 30 ppm nutes, and thats within 24hrs of res change. Then it comes to a complete hault with ph 5.9--5.0 in 6 hrs. Cause and effect is due to emptying 1/2 of H20 from rdwc to let roots breath since the root mass might be suffocating the 4in stones slightly. Not enough O2 in center of root mass possibly. 1/2 water means less buffer capacity, allowing for drastic ph drifts to occur. Also I might of not added enough CalMag to buffer the bloom nutes causing the uptake of P and releasing H+ ions causing ph to crash. With ph crashing after 24 hr mark, would wait 2 more days to look for H2O or nute consumption. Then res change. So every 3rd day a res change is done, with H2O at half max. Ppm has been 150-175, then down to 125.
Trichomes---- Amber= 5% Clear= 40% Cloudy= 55%
This is Day 80 for trichome color. Senescence has started on Day 78. Trying to run till Day 85. Idk if im doing a 2 part chop of not.
Bought the v-cure. A friend has it, its nice for convenience. Hard to control parameters in a tent, preferably method for me though. Hope everyone stocked on seeds, I know I did!
HAPPY GROWS 🌲🔥💨
