I've had the pH meter out every day with the coco grow, so I've been measuring the RDWC res more often. The Prescription Blend stays really steady. I've added 35 gallons to a 45 gallon res, though, so it's time for a change soon. I'm hoping it will be the last time before flush/harvest.

These ladies are fattening up nicely and getting frosty all over. The smell just walking down the basement stairs is incredible. I'm starting to see more orange pistils as the buds start to ripen. The only change I'm making now is lowering the RH, down to 60% day/48% night. I'll continue bringing the RH down over the next few weeks. There is lots of airflow in there, but I still want to keep the RH low as the buds get denser. I'm keeping the VSFD6500 at 85%. I've been reducing it at the end of the grow, too soon I think. For now, I'm keeping my foot on the gas, let's see what these ladies can do!

I finally got around to changing the res yesterday. It'll be the last res change with PB, I have enough to top off for a few weeks but not enough for another res change. If these ladies go longer I'll give them something else.

When I filled up the res I skipped the pH down entirely. I measured when it was full, and it measured at 1220/5.9. I was surprised the pH was so low, and as I watched it ticked up to 6.0. I went ahead and added 4ml pH down and came back a few hours later, and it read 6.0pH. This morning, it was at 6.4 so I added 5ml pH down. I usually add 12-15ml pH down on res change, but I've noticed the PB doesn't seem to need as much. I'll be checking daily for the next few days and adjusting accordingly, trying to keep it at 5.9-6.1.

These ladies are still healthy and putting on bud. The leaves started to look a little lighter but I'm hoping the new res will take care of that. The smell is really picking up. My son visited this weekend and said he smelled it as soon as he left the car! So, I'm considering doing something I rarely do... putting a filter on the exhaust. With a few more weeks to go, we may not notice the smell but the rest of the neighborhood will

Thanks Shed, they don't seem to be in any hurry

Thanks GH and me too, the colas are already pretty big.

Nose blind is definitely a thing. I never smelled my tent plants at all, but everyone who walked in the front door did!

Oh, I know my wife and I are nose blind. Occasionally, I'll blow my nose or sneeze or something and the first thing I smell is weed
