Indoor throxic's Winter Grow 2022

[throxic]

Do you feed everyday at full strength?

I lift the pot as they grow. When they're feeling light, I always water with nutes. Last week it was every 3 days, this week, it's every 2 days. Seems to be working out ok. Trying to keep it simple. One thing to keep in mind, check runoff EC. If it's >600-700 from the target EC, water to 50% runoff. That should flush some of the excess salts.

Day 48, fertigated. SS is stretching real nice. NL looks to be stretching now too. Happy New Years!

Water: 8gal added to res @ 2174EC 5.86pH. (3g/gal B1,B2, 1.5g/gal BulkyB), watered till 10% runoff.

Day 50, added 4gal to the res @ 2155EC 5.85pH. (3g/gal B1,B2, 1.5g/gal BulkyB). Watered to 10% runoff.

Great post.
I look forward to seeing more!

Day 52, added 4gal to the res @ 2248EC 5.88pH. (3g/gal B1,B2, 1.5g/gal BulkyB). Watered to 10% runoff. Also did a foliar spray, 0.3g with 300ml water.

Noticing a little underwater-stress on the SS so I'll probably start watering daily at this point. I'm still running the pump manually since they all require different amounts of water. I have shutoff valves for each plant when they've had enough. NL is turning into a monster, can't wait to see how she turns out. T and SS stacking up nicely.

Love that bushing they do at this stage. Always a good precursor to some monster flower stretch. Cant wait.

e: So nerded out over looking at plants. If you'd asked me 20 years ago if I'd watch someone elses progress on growing a plant I would have looked sideways lol. good stuff man

Haha, right there with ya! I'm glad we have this platform and great community to share the joys of this amazing and fulfilling hobby! I feel growing has been a great anti-depressant; sitting in the garden helps me break away from the stresses of the everyday hustle.

Day 55, added 8 gal to the res. @ 1614EC 6.1pH. (3g/gal B1,B2, 1.5g/gal BulkyB). Watered to 10% runoff. Not sure why the EC was lower, but I'm running with it for this refill since SS is showing some N tox from the underwatering. We're watering daily now to runoff.

Day 57

I've noticed some weird deviations in EC with the floraflex nutes as well, during my grow. I thought it was perhaps me not emptying my res completely, but seeing you experience similar issues leads me to believe otherwise. They look great though! Like you, I'm just going with it as well lol.

They go through the water so fast at this point, so any deficiency shouldn't be too bad. Definitely weird though, I'm pretty sure I measured it out right. I'll be mixing more nutes tomorrow and adjust to ~2.2EC if necessary.
