Week 2 flower - Citral Glue

[greaze]

Week 2 flower
Cyco only full range (feed as per Cyco schedule)
Citral glue (ethos)
Mars hydro ts1000 (decided to use the smaller one to see what i can really push out with it)

**Pushing to get it done before i go to France & first time using smaller pots

Had issues with seedling stretch due to my laziness.

Few dramas along the way as you might be able to see from the shot. Bit stressful (but all a learning experience), but over all happy and healthy.


Bottom right hand corner is really lagging and there is a bit of trimming to do again on the other ones.

When do you guys think the next time to trim would be least stressful and assist with yield?

Love to hear you’re thoughts guys

They smell mental tho, such an epic strain.

Good morning @greaze hope you had a good weekend.
Garden looks great my friend.
Do you have a journal I can check out?
Just a thought though they are hungry.
That's cyco coco right?
Are you feeding every day with full strength nutrients?
At 5.8 ph?
No plain water?

Stay safe
Bill

Hey Bill,

Have never really done a diary - always a bit sus about posting things online etc. But yes

PH 5.5-5.8 and
The water that's from the tap & yes yes I know the benefits
Cyco coco also

I have not been feeding everyday maybe every 2nd at this stage, but we are getting to that point. Over feeding has been something I have done and it can be heartbreaking.

One thing I didn't mention is- I dropped the light approx 50cm closer from the canopy last night and I should have done this weeks ago in early veg - silly me (I had my 3000 strapped up there and just used the same rigging).

I will pump nutrients tomorrow and see how we go

also, its very cold here at the moment too, running 2 heats mats.

Keen for the insight mate - spread it on me

Here goes then.
Coco is hydrophobic, it displaces water when dry instead of absorbing it.
So unless you feed every day and keep your coco wet at all times it won't take your nutrients.
This is one of the reasons coco needs fed every day.
Also you should get at least 10% run off every time you deed.
This prevents salt buildups around the roots.
No deficiencies this way.
Coco also sucks CM from your ladies.
You must put calmag in your feed mix every time.
Calmag goes in first and then wait 10 minutes before adding any nutrients.
Then very last set ph to 5.8
This will also help with nutrient uptake by her.
Also no plain water ever!!
Nutrient levels?
The small one maby about 400 ppm or so but the others should be in 800 range.
I didn't see you mention ppm do you have a pen?
If not use the schedule for your nutrients as a guide, but go full strength according to the schedule.
Do not thin out your nutrients.
I add bokashi, insect frass and @DYNOMYCO to my coco.
Microbes and fungi feed my roots, it's brilliant in coco.
Give it a try.
I also use a product called potassium silicate.
It strengthens the cell walls of your girls.
Makes them stronger and more stress resistant.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Ask any questions you want.
These are a few of the things I do to guarantee a successful harvest.
Oh yeah, get your light strength up aswell, more energy is better.
I understand about your trepidation re starting a journal.
I was nervous AF, and I was 100% legal.
Don't know your situation, just wanted to say I found everything here safe and 100% on the up and up.
Do what your comfortable with my friend but tag me if you get one going.

Stay safe
Bill

Hello @greaze - exactly what Bill said
I don't do ppm; for most nutes the range is 2-5ml/L so I stick to 2ml for babies 3-4ml + PK/Kelp in flower
My first thought was high pH or chloride/fluoride in the water - a drop of lemon juice will solve that
Promising looking plants

Nice looking garden...I to would like to follow along if cool .. I was nervous about posting a jouranl at first as well...but like @Bill284 (hello good sir) said this place is iron clad.... It's a safe place. Either is ok journal or not....keep up the good work.
