Nice she looks good now.
Hoping she gives me some good bud.
What flavor ? Auto or photo
She’s a photo WW Fem
I have calibrated it recently, but I’ll double check.
I like to keep a fresh clean bottle of 7 solution if I have any doubt I will just put my meter in 7 solution just to verify if it reads 7ph I don’t need to calibrate. I don’t use it for anything else that way I know it’s not contaminated. The calibration of your meter is no better than the solution you use. Something else you can check if your meter is acting a little slow make sure you got new batteries. Good luck
It was a little off in the 7.0, so I re-calibrated. Same results however. In 10.0, out 5.4ph. TDS is < 1000ppm. This is actually my second grow (thanks for the welcomes everyone) and I had the same issue with the first grow. When first planted, the runoff PH is normal where it does not differ too much between input and output PH. Then over time it lowers and lowers. This second grow has shown the same symptoms as the first one too (brown/black spots). I am making changes with each grow in an effort to troubleshoot and learn.
@l3loom at this point I would probably do a flush. Salt build-up can drive pH Down. For example if you got a 3 gallon pot I would probably flush 6 gallon. That should help to get your pH back in line.
Not an expert here but I been told with FFOF no need to feed till it drops to under 1000 TDs and actually 800. This can go into as far as 4/6 and even as much as 8 weeks. In my case I think I added neuts too early. Probably shocked the plant.
I am super new to this, so I would not be surprised if I did the same thing. I have another iteration going right now where I am really going to try and hold off on nutrients wherever possible.
I’m still learning to read the plant instead of using a length of time as measurements. I’ll attach some useful photos I have come across along the way. Learn the language used as in mobile and immobile nutrients/deficiencies. That way when you start to see what appears to be a sign or symptom then you know. Can use the length of time as a window of when to really start watching the way she is acting.
Gorgeous
Thanks! Trying. I’m starting to think I may be getting within 4/6 weeks left??? Seed house says 8/9 weeks for flower (I know not to take this literally) I’m in aprox 6 week, maybe 7th. What ya think. I know the tricome
thing but have to get micro thing to see them as I cant use loops or other hand held devices. The earlier issue may have slowed the girl down a bit (not sure of this) though. But never the less I got to be within 4 weeks or so??? Input would be apprieated.
Looking good. I think you’re right . A lot can happen in 4 weeks. As far as finishing up Adding weight and more dense buds.
You’re about right on the timeline. Once those pistils start receding, it’ll be easier to see the trichs on the bud itself. They get in the way early on.
She is definitely firming up. I know it not right but I cant help once in a while reaching in and giving her a pat on the bottom. She’s getting some “muscle” there.
Hahaha nothing wrong with a “You go girl with yo bad self!” They are stimulated by positive energy so chat it up in your garden or play some classical string/woodwind music and watch them dance up to the light
My biggest and best grow was accompanied by music. I believe it does play a massive role in keeping them happy. My last 2 never made it to the 1st grow and never had music played for them. Believe I might get back to that strategy. Song birds are warming up their pipes before the sun comes up so I tried to mimic that. Plug in on a timer and 1 hr before the lights come on id have the music start playing and shut off after 1 hr being on. Then back on for 1 hr before lights off and 1 hr after lights off. Worked beautifully for recovery from transplant, topping, lst
