Fertigated Swiss Dream with 1.5gal 90% Wk 6 nutes to 15% runoff at pH 5.6.
Noticed that the pH of my nutes seemed to have increased from 5.7 to 6.2 sitting for a couple of days and wondered if this is what might have been causing the higher soul pH reading last year and this year. Soil pH was 6.4-6.5 after this watering. Was 6.7 last feeding.

Ferted Nebula CBD with pH 5.8 and no runoff with wk 3 nutes. This baby seems to be a slow grower.

Following the water irrigation of Swiss Dream, I am noticing some yellowing leaves. I doubt it would be a toxicity issue. It seems it may be more a deficiency issue. Pictures to follow shortly...

Cutting Nutrient strength may not be the best way forward. Most yellowing leaf symptoms are caused by nutrient deficiencies. Given that I did not fertilize the plant recently, it stands to reason that it is indeed a nutrient deficiency. Will likely go to 100-110 % nutes next feeding.

I have noted, on more than one occasion, that taking a pH measurement of the nutrient solution 1-3 days after mixing and adj. pH, seems to reveal a pH higher than originally adjusted for. One example showed an increase from pH 5.8 to pH 6.2 in three days. this may explain some of the trouble I had last year where the soil pH was substantially higher than the nurtient pH.

Fertigated Swiss Dream CBD with WK8 Nutrients @ 110% strength to 15% runoff(1.5gal tot) pH 5.6
Soil pH at 6.4.
Trimmed some yellowing leaves and others that were blocking light to flowers.

Fertigated Nebula CBD with WK3 Nutes @ 100% strength to 10% runoff(pH 5.6)
Soil pH at 6.3
In a week or two I will be introducing some UVA-UVB light for enhanced CBD/THC production.

Started using UVA-B light on the Swiss Dream CBD plant. The first night I gave it 5 minutes at 24in above plant. The next day I intended to repeat this, but forgot it for 45min
I kept an eye on the plant for a couple of days and it seems OK. Exposed for 5min at 24in today.
Reduced total Light time from 18hrs to 17hrs. Will be changing light schedule to 12/12 soon to induce flowering of the Nebula CBD.

I believe I found the "light-leak" in my grow-tent. I first thought it was the heater as it is like a blow dryer where the coils heat up and turn red when on. Conveniently, I did not need to add heat anymore so I removed it. I also covered a strip of clear plastic on my humidifier (level indicator) as it glows blue when on.

But after further investigation, I came to see that the entire chamber that holds the water (white plastic) also glows when dark! I disconnected the LED light from inside the humidifier. With any luck, this should show bud growth in a week or so.

Irrigated Swiss Dream CBD with pH 5.7 water to 5% runoff. Will be Using Flawless Flush next week prior to harvesting.
Firtigated Nebula CBD with 1.5gal pH 5.7, wk 5 nutes to 15% runoff. Soil pH 6.3.

Nebula CBD is now 22W x 18H or 23H without training.
