Day 20 of being put into hydro, about day 13 of veg.
First 6 are ILGM fem photos of California Dream.
Second 6 are ILGM fem photos of Critical Mass.
Wondering what the white spots in some of the leaves are from.
Have humidity up to 40%, tent temps still around 84 with lights on.
First two are California Dream, they were topped this morning above 4th node.
Last one is Critical Mass, also topped above 4th node.
4 or 5 others should be ready to be topped in the next couple of days
Good morning, hope y’ll had a good new year.
Here are my ladies at day 27, or day 20 of veg, appear to be getting a little stretching.
PH 5,89, PPM 1200, tent temp lights on 81, RH 57%, with two humidors running, trying to get it up to 65%.
Umol’s between 857 and 1026, depending on where the lady is, lights 12/12.

8 of the 12 are topped, the other 4 are a little slow and/or very short and stout, some only having 1/4” between nodes.
I only have 5 days to make sure I have it all dialed in before my left hip replacement. Which sounds like I will be home the same day, but might be 4 days or so before I can venture out to the tent, will have to wait and see.
There is a some on here that run Lucas but I have not tried it, I have a lot of GH 3 part and GH 1 part.
Also have some Holmboldts but tried it once and wasn’t happy with it.
Have thought more then once to try Lucas when I run out of GH
Thank you for replying. I was wanting to know if the originator of the Lucas Formula intended for the PH fixers in the GH to stabilize the PH and users to run it that way. I have a thought thats what he / she / they had intended. With no alteration it seems to be settling between 6.1-6.3PH. I adjust to 5.75 PH . Wondering if I’m just working harder than was intended. Do you know ?
No, I do not know, but from people on this forum that I trust, in hydro, PH of 5.8 to 6.3 is good. I try to keep mine adjusted at around 5.8 to 6.0, not always successful
I run what I call Lucas +
Using the add back calculator from H@ck the grow and a few little extras.
When I mix my solution it’s usually 5.6-5.8, dump in the rez and reck 12 hrs. Same pH, ck in 12 hrs, usually up by .05. ck in 12hrs up a tenth. Ck next day, may pH down or let it ride another 12 hrs.
1st run on the season, just snapped this pic. Lucas fed clones. Had a whack start on my clones, my fault so not getting the stretch I wanted. I have 2 more runs before temps get to hot so next run will be
Do you mix your Lucas as directed on the labels? Does your PPM change a lot? My ppm usually goes up daily, have to keep adding water to the res to keep it down, would love to find something that works better.
