Sweet Seeds Yozhik's Grow #2

[Yozhik]

hmmmmm........that there VARIED DIET........is that for you View attachment 531598 or the babes........View attachment 531597

errr ... I plead the 5th ... no comment.

I hear ya about the AN nutes........in case you weren't aware, the GH Flora Nova line is......pH Stabilized without much fanfare.....
I've tried different combinations with Flora Nova and various additives....... Canna Boost, silica, GH Ripener, enzymes, calmag, root enhancers and what not, and always end up with a pH in the 6.3 - 6.6 range, and thus my pH meter is mostly idly lingering on it's perch.......

Hmmm ... I'm not using the Flora NOVA line ... this appears to be the standard Flora nutrients.
BUT ... if you are telling me the Flora Nova line is similar to the AN 'pH Perfect' range, then once I finish these Flora bottles [in about 5 years], I'll take a look at the Nova range, for sure.

I'm really impressed with you maintaining this many plants, being your second grow. You could really simplify things if you ran an AutoPot system.

Yes ... and ... no.

In terms of the actual grow - I totally agree.
Autopots seem to be the logical progression and something I am busting a nut to do.

However ... with this ol' farmhouse, I have the little issue of getting water to the basement for the reservoirs.
At the moment, I'm hand watering, which necessitates carrying water bottles down the stairs to the grow area, every time.
To make the transition to Autopots - which i desperately want to do - I'm going to have to invite a plumber to the property to make it possible, which in itself presents 'security' issues given the current use of the square footage!

Life is never easy ...

dude if half my plants looked as good as the ones that are giving you problems I would be more than happy great growing

Thanks for the positive words!
Just hoping I can bring my harem of 16 ladies to the Pearly Gates of the harvesting afterworld.

Not necessarily. I have a friends who did it the "ghetto way". One who got some sort of hose attachment to his sink and ran it downstairs. The other, fills a 50 gallon drum with a sump pump and shoots it up to the attic.

LOL @ "ghetto way"


Given my location, would that then make it Spanish Harlem?

DAY 29:

Temperatures: ... Ambient Room 27 ℃ [+/- 3 ℃]
Humidity RH%: ... 40 [+/- 5%]
Lighting: ... 4 x 600w HPS
Schedule: ... 20/4

Nutrients:

General Hydroponics Grow @ 0.83 ml/l
General Hydroponics Micro @ 0.50 ml/l
General Hydroponics Bloom @ 0.33 ml/l
Bud Candy @ 2.0 ml/l​

pH of Feed: ... 6.3
EC of Feed: ... 1.1
Feeding: ... ~ 3.0L

Another feeding today.
Doubled the amount to 3 litres - the combination of growth spurt, raised temperatures, bigger pots and lower humidity, means the demand for water has dramatically increased.

Not much else to report - the pH issues in the leaves hasn't continued or progressed, so seems to be under control for now - fingers crossed.

If I was a gambling man, I'd wager the girls are enjoying life at the moment.
