Really Good At Making Mistakes
No pictures for this update.
Since I started flower at day 14 I was continually disturbed by the lack of growth and that no matter the Foliar or what I tried to correct pH wise I was still having issues. Last ditch effort was to flush.
So after the last grow I didn't do anything for a month in the pots - they began to dry out and salt build up got excessive. My mentor keeps his Sim mix constantly hydrated in a dark container and I believe that was my issue. I actually began to suspect that my tap water was the culprit but it led me to discover low cost 4 Membrane RO systems. I'll be considering one for future grows just to eliminate variables.
After flushing a .5EC of solution through 60 gallons of Growpito everything improved. Mostly because over half the pots were coming out at a 2.5 - 3.5 EC and everything had stalled except the Zamaldelica minus one pot. This was also part of my issue with cloning times rather than pH but also trying to root in 82+ temps really messed things up.
Lessons learned and the new EC is at a 1.0 but I will be lowering it a bit more to spray Switch.
