Re: Bassman's 6th, BPN, RDWC, Hi-Defoliation, Hi-Yield Martian & Master Kush grow.
Update:
Day 19 in Flower, day 25 in 12/12
YAY!
We're on 240v in the tent!
I'll put the cover plate on after lights out.
This means I'll have 120v circuit available for 2nd tent and my 685 watts of LED or I can splice in another box for 240v and hps should I choose to do so. I have to clean up the other bedroom which is loaded with growing supplies, boxes in case of warranty returns, veg closet, trimming desk, etc, before I can set up the 4x4 tent. Once I do I'll put the led in and flower the 8-9 or whatever it is 2L hempys I have going.
The hempys are just a short grow while I veg some Kosher Kush to replace these in the 5x5 tent when it gets harvested. From there I should be on a 30 day cycle roughly. One tent each month. I'm still in need of a 2nd chiller for the 2nd tent. Can't get myself to pull the trigger on $400 when I got mine for $225 just 15 months ago. But I will go rdwc again in the 2nd tent. Most likely I'll set it up for 3 plants in 5 gal buckets, triangular spacing. At issue for tent #2 is width-area coverage with the LED. It's expecting too much for the size of the unit to fully cover 4' x 4' fully. I can't afford another LED from Grow Stealth presently but I do have a 400w HPS that can be added to the room. It just doesnt have the inches of depth for coverage. Interesting quandary really. But I'm more than 2 months away from having to deal with that issue.
Back to current grow:
Didnt add nutrient yesterday as I was hugely busy. Only added 0 ppm water @ 2.5 gals. So after adding another 2.5 gals today ppm is at 828 ppm or 1.6 e.c. on .500 meter. Clearly low, so I'll be adding at least a 3 gal mix of BPM nutrients today.
Picked up a quart of ph calibration fluid yesterday and a small bottle of 1000ppm test fluid. Calibrated tds meter earlier in the week, today calibrated ph meter, it was reading high by .18 ph, so adjust ph today was 5.59. It'll be likely 5.8-5.9 after I add nutrients today.
The girls are doing fine. Got just a hair more stretch out of short Master Kush, but she's about done still way behind the rest in terms of height, but she is a really nice pheno. She is also the first four pics here:
Here's the rest of todays pics:
I think all but one of the closeups are Master Kush girls. Notice how tightly spaced the nodes are. I like this so much about this strain and defoliation.
EDIT: Also backed off another 1/2 hour of lights on. It's now 11on/13off
