forming an army in there with nuclear bombs on the build....The secret service of scientist is working on it
Just call me "M"...................
The idea that its my own grown staff it will make it even better...
there nothing like vaping your own, high grade, pure as driven snow vape liquid................ you know it is pure, you made it !!!!!!!!!!................. have a look at honey bee BHO extractor tubes............. for butane white'ty
pens are working ok. I have calibrating solutions and i keep samples of each solution in a closed little box for each solution where i test my pens to see if there is a misreading on them before i proceed to do any readings..
on the glass probe anodes, the salts of the nutrient adhere to the glass, this throws the reading, after consecutive "Dippings" the salts build up on the anodes.......... this is why you "Flick" the probe after dipping for a reading, this flicks of residual water, slowing the build up of nutrient salts on the glass anode....... you only nee to check calibration every couple of weeks................... as salts take time to condensate onto the glass anode................ glad you got re cal fluids................ is important part of culture, "salt Control" !!!
OK master? Light feed of EC until we raise the PH right??
Qs; Did You Get 3no pot of "Bi-Carb Of Soda" ?............... from supermarket cake baking section ??................ to add to our nutrient mix, "After" making up nutrients..................... we add bi-carb to raise nutrient Ph to 7.5 to 7.6, this absorbs the acid in the grow medium "Raising" medium Ph as we feed.
We can feed as normal during the Ph raising event ok................. not a prob, when using bi-carb white'ty,........... the nutrient only strength at the moment, i need it to be Ec "0.5" ok...... + water Ec0.3 = total nute Ec 0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8 total Ec....Fed@22-23c........ Ph'ed to 7.5 to 7.6 to raise soil Ph. let me know when you have bi-carb white'ty............. if you have read teetee's thread, you will know what i am on about.
On the 6th day she will take EC 0.6 nute feed and ph 7(?) (ph i will know exactly tomorrow how much it will be with nute EC 0.3)....
if your base water, in 25ltr bucket, after 24hrs aeration and warming with aquarium heater to 22-23c, Ph is 8.5............... after nutes added it drops to 7.4 ??............... we are only adding nutes to Ec0.5 at the moment, so the "Residual Ph" should be high, after nutes are added to our pre prepared bottled, "Base Water"........... your base water Ec is 0.3 yes........... let me know what Ph it is after nutes added.............. if it's 7.5 excellent, as we dont need to add bi-carb to raise Ph............... to begin to recover medium Ph back to 6.5
dont seem to have any major issues now...Just the PH and it will be sorted out in a week
it took 8 to 11 days to recover teetee's cocco Ph from 4.1 to 6.3...................... one is still low at 5.6 i think.............. not all ball bowled, hit a strike first time !!............ nature & science combined is a variable process.......
you are sounding more confident now re your culture outcomes................ your right, they will be monsters.......... not including the "little one".................. the three normal pheno's will quickly thieve the little ones light................... we may have to elevate the pot on a box,..... as tee has his little dame, to ensure she dont get swamped out by the monster next door...........
each will be 80-95cm wide, 90 to 120cm tall............. due to the height issues with growing in a cab thats 2.0m tall...................... we will have to 'Top" out the plants after.......... the fourth internode white'ty, around day 21-25........ this will lower the finished height of the plant, and cause energy to be evenly spread through the bows.................... giving fuller satellite bud on side bows............... and a twin colas bud............
your cab is 2m tall right ??? L1.2m x W1.2m x "H"2.0m...........=2.88m3 of grow space in the cab.............. capacity to change air is................ 580m3/hr !!!!!!!!! we should be able to keep down peak summer temps in the cab when air temp is 28-32................... ALR or "M" !
so to round up i need;
residual feed Ph
cab size = height
0.5Ec nute only feed
bi-carb powder
standing 25ltr base water Ph after aeration and warming (No Nute Ec)
Note;
when you update you only need to post the spec list i showed you, once, not for every plant, as all are fed the same nute and water etc............... all are on same temp and environment............... as list i drew up............ post that, then any comments re events since last up dates etc..........
the only thing you would post for each plant, plant specific is a run off test for that plant........... ALR
addendum;
white'ty said.......quote =
"I will make a 0.5 per litre of nutrient mix of Grow Micro Bloom and my 2 root stims Voodoo and Piranha @ 1.5ml per litre each....I think this will give me a ph of 7 and an EC of 0.3 + bottle water EC 0.3 = EC 0.6 total."
as mentioned making small amounts of nutrient at the start of a grow is allway's tricky, as you need to make it and feed it fresh right away @23c................
in your 25ltr bucket make 10ltrs minimum......as you are feeding 8ltrs every two day's.........
the black color that came out with the run off flush the other day, is just the peat color and or any humic acid in the medium................. nothing to worry about..........
when you have to worry is when you feed to run off.....................
"And Get A Whiff Of ROTTEN EGGS".............. This is Hydrogen sulfide, caused by anaerobic bacteria in a pot bottom, which has been kept continuously sopping wet for weeks......... drying out 'Once Every 8 days" (No Water For 2 to 3 days) lets into the medium, Oxygen, that eradicates the anaerobic H2o2, hydrogen sulfide........ turning anaerobic zones back into "Aerobic Zones".............. H202, is toxic to roots @0.05mg/ltr.........................that is as toxic as N02 nitrite !!.............. ALR
