@InTheShed seeing as yo herd the same as I here's a picture from today. Same top 1500ppfd down to 1300ppfd. Alot better.
Only other change was they was bone dry in Coco. No plants was showing it but I'll keep updating on this theory

Still need to supercrop so the lowers get more light but loving the natural look

THirsty thirday! still getting too dry but really don't have the time drippers and timer will be in on Saturday so will just be filling the resovoir from there.

The day after me last watering my plants was straight back to praying.

Today I raised the light to the roof and done some super cropping. Now my plants are at 900ppfd & We have a week or so left of stretch to recover and make a little height back. I'm hoping to finish stretch around 1000ppfd with a bit mor even canopy

Looking a bit battered but should be back by Saturday when I get to see them next.

As my system is still incomplete and I'm hand watering I haven't measured any of my run off.. usually by now my pH is dropping and by week three my leaves will start twisting that's my main concern. If my changes have stopped that then it will sway my thoughts on the praying again and I probably will enjoy the look in the future.

My DWC bucket drained and filled yesterday and she is now starting to flower and stretch so she may catch up with the other plants. Although she don't look as lush as the rest she is definitely my biggest looking auto I have grown.. two weeks and I'll mover her to the 4x4 with all my clones.. and lastly my clones are neglected but on purpose to slow them down but heres my two exo cheese clones waiting for their spot to flower.

Friday tomorrow finally the weekend is around the corner

​

Good morning 420! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I actually relaxed a bit which is unlike me so feeling great

As for the garden we're plodding along. I think my ladies have stopped praying so hard now and are looking more relaxed too at around 900PPFD. I tied some string around the branches that I cropped to give them some support. So day 19 since flip I think we're coming towards the end of their stretching stage and I only have a few taller ones on the outside which I don't mind.

I finally have my irrigation set up again but not quite how I wanted it. Firstly I had to modify the manifold as it was really reducing my pressure at the drippers so I drilled it out and moulded my own connectors to it.

Then instead of misters I had to chuck my ring drippers back in, the misters just wasn't making as much coverage as I thought they would.. I was hoping for a similar spray to what my pressure sprayer produces. Maybe next time but for now..

You can see the DWC In that pic, she's doing ok but nothing like the professionals on this site! I've just left her to it. Once my 4x4 is empty I'll finish her in there to give me room filling my Res. .

My irrigation is now set to feed daily and with these trays I can check run off alot easier. I'm feeding at 1.9EC/950PPM but run off is something like 2.4EC/1200PPM so they are really not eating much.. I'm going to reduce the input to 1.2EC/600PPM and continue a daily feed to see how they react. I will also be raising my solution temps from 19C to 22C to see if it changes their uptake.. currently it will take 48hrs for the top of my Coco to look dry & 36hrs to be bone dry. I'm also feeding at over 1L/pot to get run off so feel like they are drinking way more then eating.

Finally we're starting to get some frost and colour as the buds are forming.

That's all for today

And I never let my coir dry out. Wet feet's all day long! I feed every day to runoff even at two weeks from sprout!

Looks like the cookie stretch! Long internodes and golf ball nugs! Gonna be some dank in a couple of weeks!

Cheers bud!

Yep I was running both tents off one system but just got this one on a separate tank. took me some time to get this together. Will have them on a multi feed tomorrow hopefully just got to set my timer and watch a couple of feeds

Looks like the cookie stretch! Long internodes and golf ball nugs! Gonna be some dank in a couple of weeks!

Cheers bro, yeah that cookies be on her mother's side! I think the seeds stretched more then the clones but that could be from s-croping the mains.

 

[InTheShed]

Wall to wall flowers in there! Nice remodel on the manifold and I think the drippers are probably better than misters anyway. Wouldn't misting the pots naturally add some unwanted moisture to the air?

Cheers bro definitely getting there just want to get these feeds dialed in asap! Yeah didn't think about the RH if I was misting openly multiple times a day. Ill stick with the drippers

~~~~~~~~~~~

Whilst I'm here, today I fed the plants twice and got practically the same run off both times time wise..
1st feed 1.9EC/950PPM
after 24hrs it took 2mins to get run off & 3mins to start bringing the EC down
2nd feed 1.6EC/800PPM
After 10hrs it took 2mins to get run off & 3mins to start bringing the EC down

I have topped up my resovoir with RO to bring my Mix down to 1.3EC/650PPM so we'll go up to three feeds tomorrow with 6hrs inbetween.

For now I'm looking for a reduced time until run off so I know my plants haven't used up all the fresh feed and started attacking the Coco and also looking for a smaller difference between my feed and run off EC/PPM

Cheers

Sup GrowFam happy M.F weekend

Let's start with the bad news.. so turns out I was getting way more run off then I thought just half of it was leaking out the back of the tray all patched up as far as I can tell

Im finally happy with my feeds for now but will monitor ever last feed of the day and one morning feed over the weekend. I'm settled with three feeds a day 90s a piece. With this timing my plants should always have available food.

I have been setting my resovoir PH around 6.1 and leaving it. Run off still sitting around 5.8.
My feed is 1.3ec/650ppm in - 1.5ec/750ppm out so pretty perfect.

As for the garden their looking pretty good for a rushed grow. I didn't anchor down my super crops again so they have shot up. May see if I can pull them a bit lower tomorrow.

Few pictures from today

Lastly temps are lower untill Thursday as my other tent is drying so I'm sitting at low 20s lights on and almost a week before I can add some more heat.
Once the 4x4 is trimmed and bagged I'll get my DWC auto in there as it's really in the way. She's my biggest auto I have grown for sure but I have only grown them in soil. I think in Coco I could get them just as big. I cut alot off her due to being blocked out by the clones but she's stretched to the top of the canopy and in flower. I haven't been topping up bleach, water or checking PH/PPM but shes surviving on her own. I'll swap her resovoir out tomorrow on a low full bloom feed like my Coco has been getting. I don't even remember what strain it was I'll have to look back.

Anyways that's enough for now.. enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by

 

[InTheShed]

Love them frost rails, and well done sorting out the timing on the auto watering! I had an earlier version of the NeoPow timer but it started shorting out on me whenever I touched the plug. I hope they've improved them since then!

Now were talking! More feedings and wet feet's! The girls are gonna love it! Happy to see you're constantly developing and improving on your methods! Going for the dank!

Cheers bud!

Cheers Shed the plug seems a solid build so I need to get another ordered it works great

Yeah buddy! I really underestimated the saying 'make sure you're Coco is always wet' it seems they are happy to sit in a humid environment hungry waiting for that next watering. Judging by run off I have always underwatered without the symptoms.

Already excited for the next round

​

10 days later... It doesn't feel like this long but I have just broke out of trim jail . So last week I ran out of calmag for two days! I was hoping I would get away with it but deficiency showed pretty quickly. Also I forgot to start using maxibloom from day 14 this means my resovoir has been slowly drifting down throughout the day. moving forward I'll make sure we're sitting at 6.4PH.

Currently feeding at 1.3EC/650PPM which I will slowly reduce in an attempt to improve uptake.

Tuesday pics, I didn't plan on posting so will get some better pics soon.. definitely looking more stacked and denser then their mother's feeding daily.. visually looking a week ahead of their mother's at this age

The lighter green leaves you can see are that of the DWC.. she made the top of the canopy but her PH has been out of wack not that I have monitored it. My 4x4 is now clear so I will get her in there under better light.

Almost clone cutting and seed popping time

Cheers bro since running a warmer Res Im definitely nowhere near as purple.
Also my CFL bulb I was using for my clones blew today so that lasted all of three months. I'll have to find a small led for the next set of clones

It'll still be a nice smoke Bro
How warm is the reservoir getting? Bet that chiller would've come in handy now shame you sold it .
I'm surprised the CFL lasted that long on for as long as it was ,nowadays things are designed to fail .

Oh I'm sure it will be. Not fact just from experience purple buds are not as potent.. I know from different pheno's anyways but haven't tested same pheno but from stress.

I still have both my chillers bro lm just not using them. In Coco I should be good up to 26c so just running 2ppm bleach.
