DAY 26
Mom is just a little pissy today, (2) plants are still looking like dwarfs. Sigh.


I did a little leaf tucking and it really opened up lady [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]. Lady [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] (upper right) had a few leaves spring back into place before I could snap the picture. I have messed with her leaves so much today I think I will leave her alone till tomorrow.

I got my GreenLeaf Cal-Mag Pro today. Wow, they ship fast! I only ordered 3 days ago.

Next res clean and fill will be their CalMag, Mega Crop, and a little Hydro-guard for good measure.

They're looking great Mom, nice job!

Thank you hon. Wouldn't it be funny if we ended up with monsters, ha ha.

Well looks like mine are going into flower, we may both have stumpy, thick gals :smoking:I'm hoping for a little stretch. I'm hoping yours suddenly take off for you

Thank you hon, they are green and healthy, thats all a mom can ask (OK, maybe i can ask for a little more height before flower?)

I hope they do to. If not I will just care for them no matter how tall they get. They will get the same care and affection as any tall plant, LOL. I already have my mind on my next grow, isnt that awful?

DAY 27
TEMP: 80

Last night I emptied out the res, cleaned it real good and refilled it with 3 gallons of tap water (not RO) that had been sitting out for a few days to get rid of chlorine. My tap water is pretty good. It has low ppm and the Ph is a touch high, so adding the MC brings ph down to just about +/- 6. I am tired of buying RO water so I am going to give the tap water a shot. In the 3 gallons I put 12 grams of Mega Crop and nothing else. (no cal mag, no hydro-guard, nothing) What I do is take the 12 grams of mega crop, put in in a glass with a little of the tap water, make sure the little balls of calcium are dissolved, then dump it into the res.
Ph 5.9 / ppm 675.

This afternoon I opened the tent and the ladies look a bit larger and very nice and green. Tucked a few leaves, and Voila.

Thank you hon!

I love to do comparison photos. It keeps you positive when you think nothing is happening. Here is a day 25 to day 27 "cannabis collage" I put together.....AND, I think I might see a little sign of flowering starting

 

[MassMom]

I checked my tap ppm...170. Is that to high?


I mixed a gallon of RO water with 4g of mega crop...ppm +/-575
I mixed a gallon of tap water with 4g mega crop...ppm +/-750

I really prefer to use the tap water. It is free for starters, plus its PH is a little higher, and when I mix it with the MC it comes out to 6.0 perfectly.

I will continue to use RO water when doing seedlings, but once they are in the tent on the res is 170 before anything is even added to high?

170 is not high at all. You are ok with the tap water, but you just at least let it sit and dechlorinate it for 24 hours.

Right on track is wat it looks like to me. Keep it going now.

Cool, thank you! Yes, I always let it sit AT LEAST a day.

I checked my cities water report and they do use chlorine, not chloramine (which is mixed with ammonia and does not gas off like chlorine) so thats a good thing.

I might be different as I don't own a PH or TDS meter. I've gone from using RO to well water with megacrop and really don't see a difference beside I don't have to pay for RO. Just with city tap water I'd bubble it for 24hrs or more to make sure the chlorine is out of it and you should be fine.
