Hello every one,hope you are all well and good.
Nothing has changed much other than the GWK fan leaves and me feeding 2x per day now.

I'm still scanning the GWK like a hawk and there's no invaders at all so hopefuly the double feed will help her out,thanks @Bill284 .

They have all recieved 2x feed since sunday, 1st feed is at 05:00-light's on(this feed is not always going to happen),
2nd feed is at 16:00-16:30 and this is always going to happen every day.

There feed at the moment is 4L water:
6ml each Bloom A+B
2ml BigBud
2ml B52
2ml BudCandy
PH 5.8-didn't PPM sorry.
GWK gets 1.25L
BBK gets 1.5L
CDCxS gets 1.25L
Good amount of runoff off each lady.

Things are smelling realy nice now aswell,mainly the GWK,there's a fruity peng on the go mmmmmmm,
she is putting on the weight,
just hope she recovers and stops browning her fan leaves now i'm feeding her twice a day.
BBK is also filling up.
CDCxS is maybe 2weeks behind her sister's i think but going along nicely.
Light is at 90% intense and 12in from the heighest lady.

Thanks for taking time to read this,here's our little tribe

Thanks Bill,it's realy appreciate all the time and help you guy's/gal's have put in for me.
Hopefuly they just keep getting fatter now and no more obsticles.
I think that our CDCxS will have the home to her self towards the end of the year.
Thank you

Hello everyone,hope you're all well and good.

Still feeding 2x per day at 05:00 and 16:00ish.
Current feed's are 4.5L water-
6.5ml CalMag
6.5ml each Bloom A+B
2.2ml BigBud
2.2ml B52
2.2ml BudCandy
PH 5.8, I did PPM but i forgot to write it down sorry,i think it was 580 but not 100%.
They get 1.5L each with decent amount of runoff.

BBK is chugging along very nicely indeed,she hasn't grew in height for a couple of days now so i think she's just sitting back and putting on the pound's.

CDCxS has started to swell up,she is still growing in height,a little behind her sister's.

GWK-i think it's getting worser now,even the bottom fan leaves has started to get brown/patchy.
I'm not to sure what's happening to her,i thought she would pick up now i've started feeding her twice a day...I now think i'm giving her to much of a strong feed.
From tomorrow i'll be feeding them 1ml per 1L Bloom A+B and the suppliment's will stay the same at 0.5ml per 1L,this is a slight decrease in Bloom nute strength,let's see what happens.


Everything else is allgood other than that.
Thank you for taking time to read and here they are.

Hello everybody,

First things first,i made there second feed as normal today and when i was adding PH down it seemed like i was adding more stick as i would normaly do(i have a stick which i dip into into PH down then into feed and mix)the PH was showing 5.8 at the end of mixing.
I thought i'd take runoff samples off GWK and test to see what's going on with her.
PH in 5.8/ PH out 5.2
PPM in 671/ PPM out 993.
I retested the feed and it was at PH 5.1.
I think thats telling me that by the time i feed them there feed it's to low PH.I will check tomorrow's feed's just before i give it to them to double check.
I did make a new batch and just left it for 30mins and rechecked and it was 5.8 still.Thinking about it now-when i made feed last couple of week's something didn't feel right.
Has any one got or used a bluelab PH multimedia-if so can i just leave it dangling in bucket as i mix there feed and PH down then just leave it for 10mins to see if it rise's or lower's,thanks.

Sorry about the rambling on haha,today feed was 6L water:
12ml CalMag
6ml each BloomA+B
3ml BigBud
3ml B52
3ml BudCandy
PH 5.8 - PPM 670,
they recieved 2L each with ample amount of runoff.

BBK and CDCxS are fighting fit and doing realy well,the GWK is the problem child,there's always one in the group isn't there haha.
Here they are if you would like to take a peep.
Thank you

All look great 2smokey but the bbk jumps off the screen at me!! real nice work

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Hello everyone,hope you're all well and good.
Only just realised when coming on here that i should of posted yesturday,,,sorry.

All in all our BBK and CDCxS is chugging along still-maybe a little slower the past week,i'm not sure why the imbalance of the PH of there feed hasn't realy effected them other than a little slower growth,,,strange.
GWK hasn't got any worse but i don't think she could of got any worse than she was anyway.
New pen should arrive by wednesday,can't come soon enough haha.

I have done the usual vigorous check's for mold/pest and i can report back with a big fat zero,nothing there with the naked eye and the best i could do with digital micro.

Tomorrow is week 5 of budding sched and i should apply Overdrive to there feed,i think this is to early for CDCxS so she will stay at week4 budding sched for another week.


The past 2 day's feed has been 6.4L water-
3.2ml CalMag
3.2ml each Bloom A+B
1.6ml BigBud
1.6ml B52
1.6ml BudCandy
PH hopefuly 5.8
They recieved 2.1L each and BBK had the last 100ml,each lady had plenty of runoff.

I have also turned light down to 75% and will stay until i get new PH pen.

Here's our little tribe if you would like to take a peep,all comment's and thought's are welcome.
Thank you.

 

[cjsbabygirl313]

The color on that BBK is PHENOMENAL! GLORIOUS! Pic of the month for sure!

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Thanks CJbabygirl,i'm very pleased with her at the moment.

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Hello everybody,hope you're all well.

First thing's first,new PH pen has come and has been used already,,,,so hopefuly now they have had 5.8PH.

Feed for GWK and BBK is 4.4L water:
2.2ml CalMag
2.2ml each Bloom A+B
1.1ml B52
1.1ml Overdirve
1.1ml BudCandy
PH5.8
PPM570

I test some runoff of the GWK and was:
PH5.9
PPM630
So its slowly coming down from the decrease in nute strength.
BBK has a couple nute burn leaf tips,this is why i gave her the same as GWK.All in all she is ok in my eyes but im at the inexperiance stage still haha.

CDCxS had 2L water:
2ml CalMag
2ml each Blomm A+B
1ml BigBud
1ml B52
1ml BudCandy
PH5.8
PPM not tested sorry
She is behind her sisters but going on strong,next week she will have the same feed just a little stronger.

Light is at 75% ,being increased 2% everyday-next purchase is a lux meter i think to totaly dial in the light.

Here they are and thank you

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Hello everyone,hope you're all weel and good.

Yesterday i gave all three girl's 8L each to get the medium in check(hopefuly),
into 8L Water=180PPM went:
4.9ml CalMag=80PPM
8ml eachBloomA+B=200PPM
2ml B52=30PPM
2ml OverDrive=32PPM
2ml BudCandy=24PPM
PH 5.8
PPM 446.
All of there runoff by the end showed around 440-450PPM and 5.8PH.

Today's both feed's,they all recieved the same 2.2L each,
into 6.7L water went:
4ml CalMag
6.7ml each BloomA+B
1.6ml B52
1.6ml OverDrive
1.6ml BudCandy
Ph5.8

GWK looks like someone has belted her with a stick,she is still slowly going along and hasn't curled over on me yet.
She smells the most out of the three of them.Still clear trics at the moment

BBK has had the same problem has GWK but i seem to have stopped that one in its track's,she has some wind burn but i'm not to bothered about that.
She looks the best in my eyes,so pleased with her at the moment.She also has clear trics.

CDCxS-What can i say other than a tiny little leaf tip burn off the nutes,i don't think she will ever have a problem,she's very robust with what's been going on....or maybe my feed sched/light/tent conditions are just more favourable to her,,,who's know's cause i certanly don't haha.

I have only missed 2 morning feed's in total since feeding them twice a day.

Here they are if you want to take a look,Thank you and stay safe

Wanted to add this about chasing ph or ppm…. but hope Bill284 will confirm or correct if I’m wrong….. its ok if you check runoff ph or ppms but don’t adjust your input feed numbers trying to get different number in the runoff.

Garden looks fabulous and I’m glad you‘ve got ph meter to keep you on track!!

Sorry for the late reply 013,i only change input if the runoff is anywere near double what's going in-if that makes sense haha,and or if i need to give her a flush to get the salt's? and bits an peaces build up.
I did flush and got all numbers equal.


I was feeding around 400 PPM when GWK started getting bad leaves,so checked runoff and was around 600 then one time off the top of my head it was just under 1000,isn't this her telling me she was getting to much nutes in her feed/this wasn't the only problem with her and that's when @Bill284 told me if it's possible to feed more than once a day which i have started to do when i was told,only missing a couple but still had at least 1 feed.
I also had trouble with my crappy PH pen so had to get a new one.

Getting some cloudy trichs now so hopefuly 2 of the 3 will not be long now.

Thank you for your thought's and comment's thow,they are realy apriciated and taken all in

P.S the flush was a light feed with nutes and CalMag
