Set my timer to go ON for 12 sec every hour. We shall see if it's too much or not enough. I tried 8 sec, but that's not much time considering pump starting. This timer has a function to go on/off each hour, so I'm seeing how many seconds it needs to be to get a minor amount of runoff. I noticed growth from them since yesterday. The one looks like a completely different plant compared to the rest. It looks Indica, so It might grow a little differently. Leaf tucking for now, but I plan on bending the tops and training as needed. I have 3 Sour Stompers in my other area, week 4 and they are getting big . I am bending them and leaf tucking, nice structure so far. Did some Light defoliation today. I will be more aggressive with these next 4. I will prune earlier and train earlier. I will give them a week before I start to manipulate them. Need a little stretch.

looking good @slowandeasy !! subbed up brother

Thanks water farm, I am following your grow too! I am excited to see how yours turn out brother. I am sure they will be fire!

So I just went into the tent and one of them has 2 stems that I want to tie down. I am going to grab some green wire and go tie them down. Peace slowandeasy

Just tied that plant down. I tied 3 stems down. Could have done 4. But I will let that one grow a couple of days before I pull it over. That plant didn't grow a traditional main stem. The one in the back will have a single main stem. It is a Xmas tree shape, and I think she will want to be taller than the rest. The other 2 don't need training yet, just leaf tucking. I did a minor adjustment to timer, ON for 15 sec each hour. I had a trace amount of runoff in 24hrs at 12sec. So let's see if 15 gives a tad more. I am looking for a little more runoff per 24 hr. Because of the rapid growth and the Airdomes, I know within a week they will need to be increased to 20 sec per Hour.

Looks like 15 sec is perfect for now . Slight run off. However, I just made some new water and got a new pH meter. According to the meter my reservoir pH went up to 6.8. I dumped it out and replaced it with new water. I am going to keep a close eye on the reservoir pH from now on . I made 6.15 water just now. I am making one more jug and will set it around the same, so I will use about 5gal today in rez. Will recheck in morning for fluctuations. I have not used MC in a drip system, so we will see if it remains steady pH wise. I added an underwater fan to circulate the nutes too. I am sure things will be fine. Minor adjustments and monitoring is to be expected for a little bit. Will report back in morning with pH numbers. I have a feeling it will be fine.

Things gonna exciting soon. It never takes long.

a man who is controlling the situation, rather then the situation controlling the man. I don't have what it takes to grow as you do, but I sure enjoy watching you do it. Good growing.

Just checked pH of the Rest water. Slight increased pH, 6.25. However, I kept a cup of the rez water out of the rez to compare. It was exactly the same. I just want to keep an eye out for pH drifts. When I made my water I have new Sweet Candy, it looks slightly different than last batxh, so was the Calmag pro. With my normal strength the pH is 5.5ish when first made. I add a splash of UP and it lands about 6.1-6.2pH. So we know the pH went up a little, but nothing major overnight. The plants look good and I am going to share some pics later. It has only been 4 days since the last pictures. I will leave the back one upright for the pictures, but I'm gonna bend her over afterwards...wanna show the growth in 4 days. Compared to the one pulled over. It is getting taller than the rest and needs to be trained now.

Excellent idea of stashing a side cup of water for comparison to see if the ph swing was more pronounced due to being in the rez. Looking forward to seeing the pics

Day 19 from seed. 5 day update. Things seem to be going good. Airdomes have increased growth. I am keeping a close eye on my reservoir pH , so far so good. 15 sec on each hour is perfect. Just a wee bit of runoff in the trays. I had to turn the first one in line down more of course, due to pressure. I also started some Double Grapes and Chem Bubbly seeds. My Sour Crinkle seedlings are doing well too. Have to transplant a couple tomorrow. Quick pic, will update more in 5 days. I will be training the back one tonight. Peace, slowandeasy
