420's Acapulco Gold & 3-00 Kush NextLight Mega Hydro Grow

01/06/2021 day 58 of 12/12
Outside 59 Rh 95% S 9 mph soon to change going back to winter ! Building temp 77.3 Rh 45%
Tent temp 77.4 Rh 51%
Canopy temp 82.2
Water temp 75.2 Water level Falling 2 gallons
TDS 604 ppm Falling slowing down
Ph 6.1 Static party time .
I have two decent size girls in DWC and the one I bubbled for 48 hours has hit a 4.9 ph . I want the last MC formula back !








 
That's crazy! Bubbling should raise the pH because of the additional air being dissolved in.

Stupid question, but would any residual nutrients not being absorbed by the plant cause that? If the water level drops, at same time, it would çoncentrate the residual nutes/salts?

Sorry if that is a dumb question, this is just one of those after :bong: thoughts.

No not a dumb question. I bring the reservoir back to normal level every morning then go eat breakfast before I get the numbers. It’s holding static so fingers crossed. I didn’t hit this problem till I hit 5 grams a gallon. We use to have to hit it with acid on the last batch of MC to bring the ph down . It did it in a DWC bucket this morning at 6 grams . I bubbled a bucket for 48 hours with only calmag , then mixed nutrients ph started 5.8 to 5.4 then I did one without bubbling has calmag and the one I didn’t bubble plus added 5 mL calmag was still holding at 5.8
That's crazy! Bubbling should raise the pH because of the additional air being dissolved in.
Do you have that tutoral on that ?
 
I don't, but I know that standing water pH goes up as the dissolved CO2 dissipates, so I was thinking that aeration would make it happen even faster. I could be wrong about the bubbling part though!
It worked with the last two grows bubbling away . Watched the ph rise after 24 hours !
 
01/07/2021 day 59 of 12/12 days of its life 99 .
Outside temp 48 Rh 61% NW 17 mph
Building temp 78.6 Rh 45% ink bird set at 47% Rh 2% differential.
Tent temp 78.1 Rh 52%
Canopy temp 82.5
Water temp 72.1 Water level Falling 2-1/2 gallons
TDS 521 ppm Falling
Ph 6.0 Falling but doing it slow !
Oops the girls under the MH are all 00 Kush , somebody got my other Acapulco Gold at least I still have two seeds .



 
Girls are lookin happy!! Great to see the PH is not dropping as fast!
I’m watching close as to when you hit 5 grams MC, that’s when it went crazy ! The clone I gave away the other day I have been checking on him everyday . I put 5 mL calmag, 20 grams MC , and 20 mL terpinator and the ph rose slowly in three (no dropping) days went from 5.8-6.2-6.5 . Took 2-1/2 mL acid 1/2 mL at a time to get to 5.8 .
Nice to be able to be in the grow room all day !

Been reading along and my ol feeble noggin just froze.o_O All the ph, grams of this, aeration etc... Glad I do soil, if it were me I would be dain bramamged:rip: by now.

Good to see some have the ability to do such a thing:thumb::goodjob:

Thanks EnrOn this nutrients had gotten a change before this grow and it hasn’t been playing fair . Not use to a falling ph !
 
I am interested in the Acapulco Gold, taste etc.., remember it from back in the day.:lot-o-toke: Same reason for my current grow seeing if it is as remembered minus the cottonmouth of course.
This Acapulco Gold is 70% stavia and suppose to taste fruity . We know the Acapulco Gold we had in the 70’s taste wasn’t fruity ! But the genetics show Central America .
 
I bought the microscope like yours only problem you have to have a steady hand .
It’s a solid microscopic! Try putting the plant on the ground, up against a table (or anything, that’s at the right height. Then put the microscope on the stand and slam er’ right up against a cola. You’ll have to gently fuck with it till you get a clear pic on you’re phone, but once you get a system figured out for you’re self, they’re slick little gadgets!!
