Day 45

Couldn't pin down the N deficiency and I don't waste my time chasing issues. Did a flush on everything to discover a 3.6EC and 7.2 pH. It wasn't the most catastrophic lockout I've dealt with but it is enough to compare and know that something is not right.

Forgot to add pictures on the last update but growth has been stalled for a week or two. In that regard there isn't much to be updated on.

Still of the opinion that I will return to Liquid Karma, Pure Blend Pro and Tribus. Not in the mood to add humic/fulvic anymore. Money isn't an issue if I get better quality as these are my personal taste. I did note that I preferred more organics in my hydroponics than not for taste and smell to which PBP and LK were winners.

I'll still do my own PK but I can use LK with fulvic and be fine. A bit peeved with the situation around my vendors but I'm revisiting my cabinets to see what I can accomplish. There's the other issue if whether or not I'll keep my SSSC/Dinafem mothers as I was far from satisfied. Looking for long term strains with my wife urging me away from Landraces into FOTM cultivars...

I had a project in mind this is different never tested out. But what if you LST a plant main stem on the soil surface then cut sidebranches halfway so that they are still on the mainstem but half of it is cut. then put some root stim. and bury the sidebraches in the soil, so could the sidebranches start actually make roots and be half attached to the main stem??

Do you want to test this out?

Very nice looking btw! ;)

Sounds kind of like air layering and would probably work out but idk of any particular benefit.

Can't test out much of anything for awhile, sorry.

Thank you.

The benefit would be that the new sidebranch starts making new roots but still attached to the mainstem and it would get nutes from both ways. and would spread nutes evenly and better. just thinking idk. Was wondering if this could be done to an auto and get bigger yields.

I can't say that would provide any tangible benefit. If you aren't reaching 75g/sqft there's more yield to be gained through various other methods.

It takes 1-3 weeks to root a cutting, in that time many autos would be transitioning to stretch or flower. At this point, if I want more yield I grow more plants.

I was thinking also that when u cut the sidebranch halfway, it wouldnt stress that much and could continue growing and getting nutes from the maim stem while same time developing nee roots for the sidebranch. I thought about this because on my auto ultimate grow 3 years ago the lowest sidebranch cropped itself halway, slowly I think and developed some roots there, it looked very weird. And at the end of the grow that sidebranch looked like a new mini auto lol. It was 3x the size of other sidebranches.

I don't really know. I don't like training plants and I grow autos 20% of the time lol

Try it out though. Might pioneer a new technique

These guys around here veg their clones for a few weeks before flipping. Also, the cuttings have minimal leaves on them. The larger leaves they cut half or so off each leaf. Get that energy to the roots. Thanks for tagging me as I don't go looking for blogs :smoking:
