17 Sq' Oxyponics - 1KW AC - 1st Grow

[bunches]

day 98 (day 68 of flowering)
OG Kush
flush and fill, 150mL (what I've been calling 1/4 nutes)
I accidentally left the system bone-dry for three days last weekend. They seem to be doing okay, though. I feel terrible, of course.
Trichomes are clear & white... with some very rare amber exceptions.

whats the tricomes mushroom heads look like. and
5% or less of clear is good. white is what we call milky and is very good. clear or silver give uppity short duration happy buzz. amber more close to lazy couch lock effects[downer buzz] .

cuttings day 70 in cloner

day 104 (day 74 of flower)

starting to notice amber more often.

So sick of chasing pH, I can't wait to get the new "pH-Perfect" version of the nutes I'm using.

 

[gairbud]

real easy rule.tricomes
clear=uppity fast shortduration high 1hr or less. spiky with bells or what we call mushroom heads.
milky/yellow=long duration high 3 to 6 hrs or more.bells or mushroom heads.
amber/dark= short duration high on the down side 1 to 3 hrs or more. bells or mushroom heads.
all dark spiky= you killed it. all downer high. good for people who like that high and the old lady taste.
the description of bells or mushroom heads is a point of veiw comparison.
the industry recognizes mushroom heads as the normal discription. but your comparison is just fine.

yeah u clearly have ph issues. canna aqua vega/flores is a very stable nute designed for ur type of system. u still need to set ph but u rarely need to readjust.

Can't wait to see your next grow, I'd bet you'll end up doing better than your first attempt. Did you figure out what happened? Was the res. building up with really hot amounts of nutes?
good seeing ya

 

[bunches]

I did in fact figure out what I was doing wrong. I didn't read my instructions well enough that came with my Oxyponics 6 system. I drained the reservoir with a submerged pump, but I was supposed to follow up by draining the rest of the system at the spigot on the control bucket. That is where my "pH pocket" came from.
Thanks

 

[s1ingblade]

so glad you figured it out, your 2nd grow ought to be night and day different. can't wait to see it, please pm me when it's up, I'd love to sub up. +Reps for your journal
