Day 11
2022-11-03
Got a pretty good report today. The leaves returned to their normal green color after watering with ph 5.8 on day 8 (still can't believe my tap is 8.7). It is day 11 now and I am beginning to see stems turning slightly purple and the leaves just not looking very healthy, almost dehydrated looking. I know it isn't lack of water since I water them daily so I figured it must be time to start feeding. I had intended to use AN sensi ph perfect bloom for the entire grow but accidentally ordered grow instead. So, I went ahead and opened the grow and fed them 1ml / liter. The ppm was 300. I am a nervous nancy at the moment because I am worried about screwing up the nutes. This is my first grow that isn't organic soil. In soil if you screw up, it takes forever to fix and sometime it can't be fixed in time to save the plant. So, I am still in that frame of mind even though I logically know that fixing nute issues with these pyramids is pretty much instant. No pics today, feeling lazy.
Oh, one other note. The ph perfect brought the ph down to 6.7 so I still had to use lemon juice to get it down to 6. I am hoping that when I begin increasing the amount I feed them it will do a better job of bringing the ph down to the 5.8 range.
