Grow Mediums Attempting 2nd Grow for the 4th time :)

[jtrain252]

Day 49
Ph 5.6
Temp 77
Rez 73
Humidity 45
Ppm 200

So when I reset this plant Wed when she was healing I set the PPM to about 400 today they're down to 200 and she only had two gallons of water in the reservoir so I put one gallon of water in and balance the total PPM to 480 now which took two ml of Bloom, 1ml of calmag and 2mlr of PK booster. Which in one gallon of water is about 1100 PPM The root system looks healthy mom says buds are appearing more and more I think they look bigger but I can't tell she has stopped growing in height so I'm assuming she's in full bloom at 21 inches tall

Yaaaaaay, dude she is back on the road to recovery! She is back to lookin healthy and those roots are starting to get back to a nice bright white. I would say that you have saved her my friend. I told you we wouldn't let her die on ya, way to go and way to stay diligent and not chopping her down

Day 50
Temp 76
Humidity 45
Rez 71
Ph 5.5
22 inches Max Height
Light from the top is 18 inches gonna leave it here and let her grow into it.
PPM's down from 480 to 330

2 gallons of ro water added with nute mixture
150 ppm calmag.
750 ppm bloom.
90 ppm pk booster
2ml hydroguard
Total ppm in mixture 990 ppm
Total ppm in rez 680

Now here is a question hopefully someone can answer. Normally I fill the bucket with 4 gallons of water. But when I was filling it the root system is so heavy that 3 gallons puts me at the same water level in the bucket as 4 gallons did. If i put all 4 gallons in my water level overflows out of the bucket can i store my nute solution that's pre-made in 1 gallon jug seal it and use it in a day or two or is it going to go bad.

It will stay fine for a day or 2 no problem. Your roots are looking MUCH better btw. ;D

Nice lady you got there.... looks huge! Whatever problem she had it looks like it's gone with wind. Happy continue growing... she will deliver!

 

[jtrain252]

O this was my first soil grow yield 3oz from 3 autos No meters/Tap water/Never grown before. They stretched as hell...So far my one plant looks like all 3 of my old ones

I appreciate it, Thats what im hoping for!!!

Good to know then i can premake a gallon a day in advance which will be nice.



My first grow was soil no meters got 1oz a plant, this plant looks like its going to beat all 3 combined. First grow is the 2 left pics......

 

[derek420colorado]

@jtrain252 yes you can totally store your nute solution for a couple of days, you just want to make sure that the pH is still the same and doesn't cause a crazy spike or drop in your rez. Also those roots are back to bein bomb for sure, they look really happy and healthy and so does the plant. And you are totally right your 1 plant this time looks like 3 plants of your 1st grow that is funny, just goes to show what can be achieved in good ole DWC

I feel like I shoukd defoliate this plant because she is sooo bushy I can tell the airflow isn't as great coming from the fan I have on the floor. I don't know if it would be a good idea though due to the stress she was under


Anyway ppms dropped 100 I'll check her tonight. I'm going to keep tipping her off with full strength until I find her max

Day 51
Temp high 79 low 68 average 77
Humidity high 46 low 36 average 43
Rez temp 70
Ph 6.0
Ppm down from 680 to 500
Plant height 2 feet
Light 16inches away from tallest cola 24 inches from lowest
Drank 1/2 gallon in 12 hours
Will refill her tomorrow morning same nute mix as day 50
Well after debate I trimmed her. NOT A LOT I lifted her skirt and first got rid of any dead crinkled leaves. Then I removed any about 10 big fan leaves from up top that were blocking main sites. After that i went back under her skirt and removed any tiny growth that is not receiving any light and any damaged stems from tucking. Now I'm mot touching her that was the only defoliatiom/cleanup I'll do. Hopefully she won't hate me too much and it'll help her upper buds shine.




Edit midnight
Made up 1 gallon of ro
6ml bloom 780ppm
4ml calmag 200ppm
2.5ml pk boost 130ppm
Added to rez
PPM's up to 650 from 500 in rez ph stable at 6.0 dropped down to 5.8

 

[jtrain252]

Ph seems to want to be stable at 6.0 lol. Ppms down from last night gonna use the remaining gallon to top off, reset ph then tonight let's see how she goes.


Is it normal for all the leaves to be angled upward almost like they are reaching for the light? I only ask because it's just the top that's doing it the middle branches go out like normal
