3 White Widow & 1 BC Big Bud, Hydro Drip

[snowbound]

Do you want my mid flower nutrient recipe to use as a reference point?

That would again be most awesome.

 

[Scrogdawg]

Heres the mid and late flower mixture I use for White Widow. I usually run the late flower for 10-14 days before flush.

Many thanks. It really gives me a guide to go by for the next month.

In flush do you just use ph'ed water straight? And for how long?

 

[Scrogdawg]

I use RO water, General Hydroponics "FloraKleen" and Z7. I ph to 5.8 and flush for 7 days.

After you harvest put a long ash from a joint onto a clean plate and break it up. The whiter the ash is the better the flush you got.

Thanks Scrogdawg. I owe ya buddy, you are a wealth of info.

Added another 20 liters of mid grow nutrient mix to the reservoir tonight. Ph holding at 5.9, EC @ 1.3, water temp is 65'

I got these fuzzy white things growing at the top of my stems. I expect the smell will be along in short order.

 

[Scrogdawg]

The hard works done. Now just feed and watch the show.

Day 20 flowering

They are still drinking heavily. Added 20 liters of ph 5.8, EC @ 1.3, temp @ 65' just now. Two tallest plants are at 33.5" now, all good there.

Some of the fan leave tips are just showing the slightest bit of burn so i think the nutes are dialed in pretty good. I will relax the EC a little for the next 3-4 weeks.

I use two carbon filters and still have a faint aroma in the house.

I picked up a
GermGuardian AC5350B 28” 4-in-1 Large Room Air Purifier for Home, True HEPA Filter, UVC Sanitizer, Air Cleaner Traps Allergens, Smoke, Odors, Mold, Dust, Germs, Pet Dander, 5 Yr Warranty Germ Guardian

Zero smell!

Day 22 flowering.

Added 30 liters of ph 5.8, temps @ 65', and EC @ 1.3 nutrient solution. Tallest two plants are close to 35" high. Easy to see the buds on main stalks starting to fill in.

Got a pic this morning before the lights got close to full intensity. Plants @ 37"

Day 24 flowering.

EC is @ 1.3 - 1.4, ph is up to 6.0, water temps @ 64'

EC is staying pretty stable. Ph is slowly ticking up, takes a couple days to go from say 5.8 to 6.0. I think this is good and presents no issues. Water level down approximately 10-15 liters.

I added 12 liters of water with no nutes today @ ph of 5.6 This will bring the overall ph down 1 tick to 5.9, EC down to 1.2 - 1.3

Couple close ups day 24

 

[snowbound]

Playing with a new lens for my s9+. No tripod so its a real challenge with the macro shots. Not to mention the light from two 1000W HPS lights.

 

[Scrogdawg]

Takes pretty good shots for being hand held.

Takes pretty good shots for being hand held.

I ordered a tripod. Got to make the pic taking process much easier me thinks. The macro pics in particular.

Day 25 flowering...

Added 20 liters of nutes @ 1.3 EC, ph @ 5.6 , water temp 65' This left the reservoir @ 65', EC @ 1.3, holding steady, and ph @ 5.9

Seems to be bulking up pretty good for only 25 days, still have 4.5 weeks left to finish I would estimate.

Day 27 flowering

Another 20 liters @ EC 1.3, ph @ 5.6, this brought the reservoir back to 5.9. Reservoir temp @ 66'.

Pretty steady right now, going through about 20 liters every couple of days. I may tick up a little on EC next time, see what the plant shows me.

 

[snowbound]

Couple of todays pics. HPS lights doing me no favors.

Day 28 flowering...

I added another 20 liters today @ EC1.4 and ph @ 5.7 Water temps @ 66'
Reservoir sitting at EC 1.4 and ph @ 5.9, water temp @ 66'

Been adding 20 liters every other day for a while now but they really drank it down yesterday. EC didn't rise on it's own so all good. Ph still ticking up slowly so good there as well.

Day 30 flowering

Did a full reservoir clean out today. A fresh 80 liters @ EC 1.3, ph @ 5.7, water temp @ 64'

I take 4 clean buckets into tent, remove plants from their bucket and place in the clean ones I just brought in. I then clean out plant buckets and put them back in their own buckets. Turn on pump in reservoir and away they go again. Takes about 30 mins to do it all.

Got a couple pics with flash on camera this morning and a couple more when I had to move one plant out of tent to do a thorough cleanup.

@Scrogdawg

At what point did you switch to late flowering mixture?
