Harvest
Ok, so I dropped the ball on keeping up with this journal but I wanted to pop back in to give a post mortem on the grow.
- Average yield was approx. 2 zips
- I had to reduce Dr. Autoflower's feeding dose by approx. 25% to prevent nute burn and salt buildup
- The best quality flower was from the first 2 plants, harvested approx. 70-75 days
- I let the other 3 plants go too long ( approx. 90 days) waiting for amber trichomes, the leaves dried out/died and flower was airy and subpar compared to the first 2 plants
- PH is important, don't trust the PH perfect system. Check and balance PH daily, 5.8-6.0 target
- I had good success watering the plants daily for approx. 60 seconds and recirculating the runoff back into the res. I wasn't sure how well this would work but it did great and since you are basically flushing the plants daily, there aren't any salt buildup issues (salt buildup caused lockout earlier in the grow so this will prevent that from happening)
- Need to keep light strength below 750 ppfd during flower (500-550 for veg)
- AN ph perfect coco nutes have enough calmag in them that extra should not be needed as long as PH is good and there is no salt buildup
- Aerate water for 24 hrs prior to use
- Add 10ml h2o2 per gallon of water
- Keep temp at 78f
- Plastic cups over plugs during germination to keep from drying out
