Colombian Gold In Hydro By Gwhunran

Colombian Gold
Day 45 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling acceptably. Day 6.

The plants are still looking good and building flower. The change from Mid Bloom to Late Bloom on the reservoir nutrient load seems to agree with them so far. No discernible change.

Wow they have come a long way and look great.

Thanks Keith. They seem to like the Late Bloom nutrient mix. They haven't been nutrient sensitive at all, and that's a real blessing.

Really healthy and happy. It's hard to believe that you're on late bloom nutrients already. Those buds look fantastic!

I'm thinking they'll be ready within a month. I can do another one or two Late Bloom, then Ripen, and lastly water. That should get me to the end.

Gotta put a picture in. A new page without a picture yet.

Colombian Gold
Day 46 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is still bubbling at an acceptable frequency. Day 7. The next bucket should be the last.

The plants are looking good and continue to build very nice flowers.

Thanks Keith. They are growing in nicely.

Colombian Gold
Day 47 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is slowing down but can go till tomorrow.

The electric oil radiator heater has been hooked up to the inkbird and set to 55F/13C in case the room temps drop that low. I really don't expect the room to get that cold.

The flowers continue to build.

Day 48 since flip.

The grow room is running normally.

Fresh CO2 bucket being made as I post.

I checked the temp/rh sensors when I was up during the night. Ambient temps dropped to 34F/1C last night and the grow room dropped to 62F/17C for a low. So, the two 17 gallon warm water reservoirs, the de-humidifier, and extra room insulation, kept the room pretty warm. The heater never came on as it's set to 55F/13C.

The plants are looking good and the flowers are filling in nicely.

Colombian Gold
Day 49 since flip.

The grow room is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling strongly. Was concerned that reduced nighttime outside ambient temperatures would stop fermentation. The low temp. was 29F/-2C.
The grow area temps. hit 55F/13C for a low, so the heater probably ran some. The current temperature(11:00AM) in the grow area is 72F/22C, due solely to the lights,dehumidifier, and reservoirs. Outside ambient is 38F/3C.

The plants are looking good and the flowers are just wonderful.

Colombian Gold, Day 49 flower. Little buds growing well under the 2nd screen. I don't think they get any light.

Colombian Gold
Day 50 since flip.

The grow room is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling nicely.

The lights out temperatures running concurrently with ambient temperature lows, stayed within acceptable range. I don't believe the temps reached the inkbirds low temp setting for the heater.

The flowers are looking good.

Thanks Keith I think so too.

Awesome great work .
I did get the CO2 boxed just need to get by FedEx.

Heya GW!! I'm Scott...been around these parts for a while on and off. Your girls are looking very nice!! Still kickin white hairs too!! Starting to get a little frosty as well I see!! Well done Growmie!! Happy Saturday!! Can't wait to see you finish these girls out!!

Sounds great. I checked one place, a welding supply company closest to me. They're quite proud of their tanks They are asking more than $250 for a twenty pound tank and $80 something to swap them out. They don't refill.
I'll check the bottling/beverage folks before I buy one.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling nicely.

Still thinking on the leaf discoloration and did a little more reading. Something that I'd overlooked in my reading before, stated that running the PH too low in hydro can cause issues with Calcium. The normal below 6.0 ph in hydro the culprit, and I am slightly below 6.0, most of the time. The reading also mentioned the problem evidenced by leaf damage probably started as much as a month ago or more. So, bottom line, the plants probably won't show any signs of leaf improvement in the time left till harvest.

The flowers are growing nicely and looking good.

And you should.

Thanks again Keith. This one has been mostly a caretaker grow. Other than what looks like Calcium issue, the plants have been problem free.

Thanks Scott. They are looking really good to me too. I like the height they ended up above the 2nd screen. Enough for good support and bud separation. They are increasing greatly in odor production too.
