watering day. Didnt get a runoff last time. ( i know, i know)
This time all plants got Ro water about 30ppm. -silica 2.5ml/gallon, jacks 3-2-1 @950-1000ppm or 1.8-2 ec
Recharge…a couple pinches maybe a gram a gallon?,
I have not not ph’d the water last couple feeds. it’s coming in around 6.3 with no ph up or down after nutes and recharge/tribus/silica.
Now if I need to add some ph down to get to lower with my feed water I will if suggested. But seems ok now. It’s funny as I used so much ph up with the fox farms lineup. Im talking 6-9 ml a gallon and now i don’t need any. (looking at full gallon of ph up)
run off numbers. Now I had a few plants that had a little higher runoff than i would like 1300ppm. I gave all plants maybe an extra gallon (3) and got a reall good amount of run off this time around. that extra gallon in each plant brought them all to about 1000-1100 ppm and 6.1-6.3 ph
I had one plant that showed just a few hints of what may been magnesium or cal issues. that was one of the plants with the higher runoff. It got the extra gallon and that brought it down to abut 1000ppm runoff and got half a gram more of cal nitrate and a pinch extra Epsom salts.
Right thing to do? not sure but thats what i’m going with.
plant’s got a strategic defoliation 3 days ago and you cant even tell today. I went in and cleaned up interior leaves and anything down low restricting air flow and just a few larger leaves that were cover bud sites that i need to get light. Also removed sucker branches and branches that just aren’t going to make the cut. Well except for the ones that always get left that you are rooting for that don’t make it. Anyway, They are growing incredibly well so far.
I’m thinking about the net. It so convenient to be able to take the plants out of the tent still. I know that having the net will give me a better canopy I am just kind of dreading it. Not being able to get in there really well and move things if need be. I am glad I got some lst training in when i did as the silica has the branches hard a steel.
thats about it for this grow.
