Indoor Zaaboot has gone to pot 2022 auto spree

[Zaaboot]

The ladies are getting on now and I still feel they are all very slow except for the NLxAfghan.
Anyway, after their haircut a couple of days ago they are back again as if nothing happened - and I am topping up my res with 10 litres a day now so they are having a good old drink at an EC of 1.6, lower than my normal but it is pure RO this time so it makes sense there is slight tip bur showing so will keep it at 1.6. They also got the first dose of Monkey Nutrients Boost - it was a freebie at an event so will give it a go this run and it will be coupled with Atami Rokzbastic which is their new PK and that sits at a ratio of 10-20 unlike the Buddhas tree which I normally use which has a ratio of 9-18.

Starting to find their feet now m8.. you've been spoiled with the speed of sawneys strains now everything else seems slow haha

Tell me.. do you do a weekly/bi weekly/ever full res change or just keep topping up with fresh mix? Is a full drain and full fresh res always necessary periodically??

I think you could be on to something with Sawneys being faster, also it just occurred to me that the last three or four grows I kept skipping away for a week/2/3/4 at a time so I missed all the boring bits

So the res change, it is highly recommended to do, but it is so much effort to change the res in teh wilma with four pants growing atop. So over the years I have learned to start clean, keep clean. Every couple of top ups I add a dash of H2O2 which cleans things up a bit, also for a 30 ltr res I would probably use a airstone to keep it fresh, whereas I currently use a water mover which is basically an underwater propeller that agitates the water constantly.
If the water is a bit murky which tends to happen at the start due to the coco/pebble fragments getting in there I will for sure do a full res change, and will do the same if it gets cloudy or I see any kind of film or anything that is not clarity in there it gets changed. I try to keep the water in the res clean, and clear and constantly moving

Hey hey - another day another watering, the ladies are now taking in over 10 litres a day between them, so I mixed up another 60 litres ready to top up with.
The temps are now flat which is good - sitting at 24 lights off and 26 lights on with no variance, and humidity is low at the moment sitting at 35%.

Had to give another Schwazz today as the one I did a coupe of days ago has all but grown out again - otherwise they are all stretching vigorously now.
The Afghan X NL is miles ahead - hoping the others catch up during flower

Haver a sterling weekend one and all!

Hello all - I must say I am getting a tad worried that a couple of these plants may not turn...as it stands only the NLxAfghan is flowering, the others looked like they started pushing out pistils but looking at them again today I dont really see any movement.

This is a suh a pain in the Wilma as ther res feeds everything and it is hard work having plants totally out of synch with the others, so the plan will be this if I dont see a change over teh next couple of days.

Purple Punch and Glo are likely to go on the compost, the Mephisto plant that is continuously topping herself could stay but she needs to she me the hairs fast is she wants to stay.
I will plant 3 seeds based on looking like having to chop down three plants. I will place them in the Wilma biut not connect it to water, and for a few weeks have to hand water, the downside to this is...I got bored so I am going back to portugal for a bit in October so I may have to work out some watering system, maybe even connect the stray plants that won't be feeding from the res on to my Blumat, with Bio Tabs and water.
If they do grow up and stop being shy they will stay...lets see

Either way, the NL x Afghan from SSC is doing well and already plenty of trichomes, this shows promise.
Current food, quantity is what I added to a 19.8 litre bottle: Green Haze Bloom A&B (60ml each), Root Tonic from Growers Ark (15ml), Monkey Nutrients Boost (10 ml), Calmag (15ml) all in RO water.

Temps are the best they have been for a while and teh tent is still sitting happy at 24 to 26 lights off and on.

Cheers

Hello everybody - hope you are all doing grand!
So after sulking and going to London for a couple of days I came back and a lot has happened in the tent - I bloody knew it! The secret to success is to go away and leave things alone, looking at them to often gives the impression that they are not moving. Anyway, four days have passed since the last snap and they have shot up, even the crappy Mephisto one, but the Purple Punch has gone nuts, it has taken over her corner and is attempting a coup in to her border state of GloF2ville.
Unless my eyes are mistaken she has started crowning unless it is not..burt I am thinking its all good.
So they are certainly drinking a fair amount daily now, the res is using up circa 12 litres a day now so I need to go and fill my bottles again at the Ro station.

The Afghan x NL from SSSC is a sugary little lady, very slender with nice formation, she will for sure fill out and hand over some medium spears, the Purple Punch on the other hand has gone nuts so not sure yet when she will stop behaving like a triffid and show where she will finish - tomorrow I will have to spend some time in the morning cleaning up again and tying things down to control height so I can keep the light in one piece and not split it out to cater for the different sizes.

The E.C is flashing between 1.6 and 1.8 (the bluelab truncheon goes up in .2 increments), this is made up of Bloom A&B, Root Tonic, Monkey Nutrients Boost, and calmag once again in RO water, and PH is sat at 6.2. it is getting nippy out now so the lung room is earning its space warming the cold air before being drawn in to the tent.

Cant seem to get the photos to upload right now so will try again in a bit (managed to get some up using the picture image along the tool bar )

Cheerio for now
