Bit of an update

All 3 seem to be going along ok still having some issues with the leaves
Still haven’t had a chance to get that cal mag or similar working to many hours to get to hydro shop
Here’s some pics of the ladies

Any Aussie growers no if there is something from Bunnings I could use? Might be able to get there as open longer

Those other 2 will be getting moved soon running out of room they are all growing fast even with a few issues

Turned the light back up to 600 Watts and I might be getting a bit of heat stress will lift fan up a bit and c if that helps

Let me know wat u think

They look lush! What is the temp above the canopy?

Was 26 in there but guessing bit more than that under the light iv dialed the light back to 400 Watts until I can get that fan lifted up higher
Got extraction fan in there to but dosnt seem to suck a lot of heat off of the light because of the reflector

26C is great. My tents are between 26C and 30C. For me it all depends on what the weather is doing outside. If it's a cold and humid day I can have all my lights on whereas if it's hot then I've got to sacrifice a light or two. I try to keep them under 28C but sometimes it's impossible. Yours look good though

They looking good stretched a bit cos not getting much light will be outside on weekend anyways
Flushed the big one with 1.5litress if same ph water it’s looking good couldn’t get a photo but lots of roots into res bellow it gets fed for 15 mins a day on a timer out of three tubes

Just worked out how to do that thumbnail shit haha

Temps today
Max 21.8
Min 15.3
Humidy
High 70 percent

Hi iv been keeping ph betweeen 5.5 and 6.5
My tap water is over 7.0 usually once I change the res I adjust and then add nutes and then check again.
Should I be adjusting ph of water b4 putting in the res? Or would that short amount of time before it is adjusted not affect the roots?

 

[Upngrow]

Ok have just flushed res overnight with some floraclean to get rid of any salts or buildup.



Changed res and added my additives and a and b nutes

I have topped her today after the 12th node




She seems to be doing really well I think anyways.





I’ll prob let her go another week till day 30 or so before I flip

Pretty sure it’s a female can anyone confirm this? Not sure if u can see can’t get camera to focus in there



Keep it green

I shouldn't think so mate, I was just curious as I didn't see it written anywhere. I am lazy though so probably missed it lol all is looking great, and I do believe that was a girly bit you are reffering to in the pic above
