4 x White Widow Hydro

[snowbound]

So back home. Ph got up to 6.2, no biggie there. EC went down to 1.2. Had to add 20 l of nutes. I will clean out the reservoir and system tom to start with a new reservoir.

The one big plant was up into the reflectors on one light. Never even burnt up the plant tips. Says a lot about how good those air cooled lights are. But the height was just insane, wayyyy toooo high. I decided to give it a real close inspection to confirm a theory of mine...

Sure enough, I found those little bastard sacs at two nodes. Could not find anymore on the plant but that is enough for me. I will be taking that hermie out of the room. There is no way you would ever catch them all I think, so only a matter of time before flowers would open up and then out comes the pollen. Not having that.

I had my suspicions with the crazy height what was going on, was hoping to be wrong but not to be. That tall one will be removed tonight. Should give a much better light spread for the remaining three.

Shame to lose a plant that was looking so good hope all is ok with other 3 plants

 

[snowbound]

Pretty sure I caught it early enough. time will tell.

 

[Skunks]

Can they do that at any time in flower

 

[snowbound]

They can but usually happens if a plant goes through bigtime stress. I introduced the stress by way of super cropping that plant. Trying to limit its height.

All things being equal it's not a concern you should have.

 

[Skunks]

Ok cool just don’t no about these things so just a concern I have

 

[snowbound]

Hermie toast. It had a great root ball. The air stone was completely encapsulated in the root ball. Had to cut it out.

 

[Skunks]

That some seriously big roots

The three remaining girls have lots of time to fill in and make up for the fourth. To bad but better now then in a couple or three more weeks.

Did a complete reservoir swap out today. Cleaned everything out real good.

New 80l , ph @ 5.8, EC @ 1.3, water temp @ 67' Used the formula in the second pic for the reservoir mixture.

Looking good mate nice and big healthy plants

 

[snowbound]

Added 20 liters @ EC 1.4, ph @ 5.7, water temp @ 66'

Plants are looking good, no more stretching it seems.

 

[Skunks]

Looking good getting tall now

 

[snowbound]

Yup. Think they are done going taller, thankfully. The lights are zip tied to the top rail. They can go no higher.

 

[Skunks]

How tall are they now

 

[snowbound]

Not sure. I will measure in a few mins though.

 

[snowbound]

They are 38, 41, and 43" tall

 

[Skunks]

Wicked

 

[bluenoserjoe]

Alright they are tall enough. Now lets watch them get heavy enough to fall over. Really looking great. That 1000 watter really does a good job.

I have two 1000 watters in there
