New Grower New Grower (3rd cycle) - 4x DP Daiquiri Lime

[Shiva's Mistress]

Wouldnt gypsum or oyster shell flour increase the alkalinity of your outdoor garden?

Oh, I've already got it pretty much sorted out.
I used some good quality fine dolomite lime mainly, plus another high pH high PK fert.
It was just working out the amounts, guessing rainfall levels, etc. that was the critical question.

Understood, I misread the tone. Clearly the true challenge must have been the dialing in of all those variables. Glad you got it sorted, glad to have you in the thread. I wouldnt normally water tonight, but the girls look a little down. I am going to lift my pot when lights come on and see if I should water again, 6L of plain. If they arent light, Im not going to do a thing, I may just be at the point that they are that thirsty. True width of that room film to film is 36" for reference. Tray is 24".

Nice to see four of the same strain.
Can see how stable the genetics are, and what phenos come out.

Alright, more has been revealed. So I tested the pH of my muni water after it comes out of the Berkey filter and it pHed at 7.2 and 7.6 (on each of the 2x $10 pH pens). I decided to add some Earth Juice Bloom again, as a acidifier, not necessarily as a feed as I am hoping to utilize AACTs, SSTs, and top dressings to supply the bulk of the nutrition. 5mL per 4L, far below the recommended amounts. This resulted in 4L of water that pHed at 6.36 and 6.55. i top waterer 1L into each pot, as the pots felt quite dry except the bottom 2 inches. I will check them again at lights on.

Lights just came on. Girls look much happier. Pots feel "right". I will check them tomorrow morning and if they seem to need water I will hit them with another 4L/6L for the tray, pHed with the EJ Bloom, probably at 5mL per 6L or 3mL per 4L) with a target of 6.6 - 6.8

Pots still feel right, might need water later tonight so I am aerating 6L right now, not sure what if anything else Im going to add to it. Lights come on in 12 hours, so Ill check them then and water accordingly.

They woke up and felt like they could use 4L. I gave them 1Tbs kelp meal, 1Tbs molasses, 2.5mL 7.6% AgSil solution, bubbled for 12hrs. 1/2tsp Recharge, 3mL Earth Juice Bloom (to bring pH to 6.62 - 6.86). Noticed some yellowing on the lower leaves of FRancine (4).

Looking mighty fine to me buddy
Happy growing

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

they all look good to me
first time i saw em they was all a bit rough.next time,left side looked a lot worse that right side.last time,bottom left was just a bit funky looking.
now it just looks like a slight pheno variation compared to the other 3.
water/feeds think we found that happy place PH maybe a hair out,but we can live with it :smoking:
getting it dialed in as they say you allready got the green thumb
good luck n keep er lit

So heres the latest shot. FRancine is continuing to show a little yellowing, any ideas? I am going to prepare a topdress tomorrow, consisting of Bu's compost, castings, fish bone meal, kelp, and barley meal, not sure on the ratios yet, itll likely be as directed. They are right around 5 weeks, so topdressing makes sense.
