Hope you enjoy my first journal and feel free to add many opinions. I am noobie! But hopefull.

One of the many shades I had to remove yesterday.

Have you started feeding yet? She is looking a little hungry. Good luck on this grow!

Some pictures from today 6.3.22.. im still concerned they are so bulky and small? Is this a hydro think a old bushie needs to get used to?

On full feed..slowly over last 2 weeks. manufacturer recommends 1200-1400 or .22-.26 S/m from. Seed..mines almost always 1300 coming into week 4 soon.i had to harvest all the big leaves off it today as none of the branches below were getting any light and yellowing. So she looks thin in a few pics.one of the many shadies removed yesterday. 3rd branch up at 65mm with 11 fan leaf???

 

[geomikajak]

I test every few hours but am starting to trust my setup and technology.
Watered 20mins ago..will be almost perfect in few hours and stays like that for 30hrs atleast till it gets to 30% and .20- 21mS/cm and needs a drink.

Great setup man and the girls look great. How do you measure your light intensity? You have nice thick stems and very short internodal spacing. It also looks like you have a bit of curling / taco happening on your leaves. My guess is your girls are getting PLENTY of light, maybe a bit too much.

 

[geomikajak]

Yeah that's one tool I'm winging it with and have yet to purchase. Took me 2 weeks to reilize I had 5 choices..150..250..300 or 600watt. As beginner I set to 600.. after learning..its on correct setting now for close to week 4.. but yeah a 600watt and 2x 100watt clone lights to full fill tent likely causing my steroid type issues in early stage. Hoping they settle down now I've got everything pretty good..but? Is why I'm here..to learn of you Legends. The curling started as lower branches and shaddies were not getting any light due to huge shaddies. And yes mate.. reading plenty 420 flood drain I decided to go 24hr on. Now I'm to scared and not ready to go to say 18/6. I'll stick to 24hrs a few more weeks then 12/12 them.

And @LKABudMan is thick stem and short inters a good thing at this stage? Regards.

It's not a bad thing, it just makes it hard to LST until it gets bigger. I did the same thing on my first grow; started out with the light way too high and worried about what to do with the short internodal spacing. You can check out the link on my signature, but it turned out well Big stems hold big buds, and all those nodes tightly packed together made for nice dense buds. Definitely not something to worry about

And any thoughts on this product? Was far from the cheapest but not the dearest and seemed easy?.. using all related products now at 100% recommendations. Mines a 83litre tank..so im doing perfect maths on 80 litres just so I can't burn them.

Do you have a ppm meter?

Stay safe

[geomikajak]

Sure.. checked every few hrs. 5.8-6.1

That's pH. PPM/EC reads the dissolved salts in the water which will give you the relative strength of your nutrients.

Yep BudMan.. 4 of them. One In each pot. IBEBOT brand. Adverage .24 or 1300. Click app and bingo. Today's adverage..all very close if not the same. Water high atm I.M.O was told/read 20-40% is perfect.
mS/cm is as high as .28 when I first water dropping to .20 at 30% moisture. So I water when Salts at .22 atm.

Hope all is well in your world.
