WOOF its been a busy week. 2 days ago my Toddler straight ripped off a fan leaf from a G18, so I suppose thats defoliated. Anyway here we go...
In the DIY tent temps are stable during the days between 73-79 degrees. All the lights are running at 100%, 18" from top of plants. Running a heat bulb at night is keeping the heat at 65-70 degrees till the sun comes back up. Humidity is around 35-45% depending on the last watering amount. The Purple Punch (PP1) had 3/4 liters every day for 5 days. Water PH 6.5/ PPM 199. Feb 23, PP1 still a bit moist, only got 1/2 liter today. 6.5/199. Feb 25-Mar 4- PP1 consumes 3/4 every day at 8 am. Ph 6.62/Ppm 58. Run off Ph 6.7. Run off ppm 208. Mar-4 PP1 Slurry Test - PH 6.95/PPM 83.
Sick G18- Feb 18-Mar4 Update. Sick G18 consumes 1/2 liter water x 2 daily, no nutes, PH 6.49, PPM 195 at 730 am & 730 pm. Run off PH 6.1, PPM 219. Last few days have a lightening of the leaves, I suspect a slight nitrogen issue with the soil at this point, will add nutes soon as slurry test shows it needs nutes w low ppm. Slurry Test on Mar 4-PH 6.58/PPM 95.
G18-1- Feb 18- Mar 4 update. G18-1, What an impressive plant, hands down. Larger every day, producing great resinous bud sites, reacted great to pruning in flower to expose bud sites to more light and not have them covered. showing no deficiencies yet and it still hast had any nutes! anyway..... g18-1 consumes 1/2 liter at 730 am and 3/4 liter at 730 pm. Water Ph 6.45, PPM 211. Run off ph 6.57. Run off PPM 574. Switched to RO water in the last 4 days. PPM 52, PH 6.5. Slurry Test Mar 4- PH 6.3/ PPM 757.
In the attached garage day temps are 70-79 degrees and RH is 35%-45%, Lights are max height now, 15" from tallest plant (g18-2). Here we have G18-2, Purple Punch (PP2) and GG4 (Cupseed). Cupseed is nearing the end of flower. probably has 2-3 weeks left at most, calyxes are going to start to do some swelling soon. plant is pulling nutes from bottom fan leaves and im seeing yellowing as I should at this stage, pistils are turning more and more orange every day. G18-2 is suffering from either Nute Burn or a severe mag def. I think it its a deficiency dute to lockout, last slurry put the PH at 5.6/ppm 355, so ive been supplementing with foliar sprays w 1 tsp epsom salt per gallon, other than that, great growth and bud sites, good main cola forming, I hope this will will survive long enough to harvest. PP2 is having its first set of issues as well, almost all the leaves are a pale green, slowly and ever so slightly yellowing, it has to be a nitrogen issue, the slurry today came back at PH 5.5/PPM 302, thats not good. im going to need to adjust the PH of the water in order to see a response with this one.
G18-2, Feb19-Feb24 consumed 1/2 liter 730 am and 3/4 liter 730 pm, Water PH 6.56, PPM 211. Feb 24- Mar 4 it started getting some nutes to try and combat the deficiency with the mag and phos. I half dosed Tiger Bloom by fox farms in 1 gallon of water. Ph 6.5, PPM 552. Run off Ph 6.23, Run off PPM 297. Slurry test Mar 4- PH 5.6/ PPM 355.
PP2, Feb 19-Feb24 consumed 1/2 liter 730 am and 1/2 liter at 8pm, No Nutes, PH 6.5, PPM 215, Runoff PH 6.2, Runoff PPM 282.
Switched to RO Water Feb 25, PH 6.6/ PPM 55. Slurry Test Mar 5 - PH 5.6/ PPM355
