Looking really good!

Is your reservoir completely light-tight? Sometimes a reservoir that isn't completely light-tight can contribute to quick PH rises. Also, as you get into bloom, the PH will most likely stabilize some as the plants cherry pick the nutrients slightly differently. The sure look happy, regardless. :thumb:

thanks xlr8 for stopping by, actuallly i did notice yestarday when i was changing res that i could see light coming thru the air slots around the vortex sprayer. would never had thought could have something to do with ph. i have the light blocked now. thanks again.
i have the ppms at 900 now.
:thanks:

Subbed! Looks like I'm right on time :). Hope you don't mind me hanging around and asking a bunch of questions heh!

:welcome: doc dee, thanks for coming along for the ride, would be happy to answer any questions you might have.:Namaste:
 
Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

defoliated today mostly bottom and middle leaves to get good airflow. they are really starting to eat and drink now. been adding gal of full strength nutes to controller every day. had ppms at 900 last night and they are 875 today. going to try and keep her at 900 for this res.
warpath1 got the main stem broke again at the last bend , must have hit the training string and didnt notice in time to put back together so i lost two grow tips. temps at 84f at canopy lights on and 70f lights off rh 50-60 co2 1200-2000 because its in my room when i'm in there co2 gets up there. thats ok cause its a sealed room so it will all get used. ph is settled out.
:thanks:

Wow. I love how the rf66 makes everything so bushy and filled out. Great grow. Cant wait to see the dried weight and smoke report!

the bushy and filled out is from the training technique used, thanks jon, but the rf66 does make the plants grow and recover very fast. :thanks:
 
Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

Have you had any problems with the temp getting high? Man down here in the south its hitting high 70's in the reservoir. Everything seems ok but I worry about root rot when the temps rise.

i have a water chiller so my res stays at 67f . you could use frozen water bottles to try and keep res temps at least in the low 70's.
are you using any beneficials for root protection?
 
Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

If ur roots are in Res (dwc) weight the ice bottles so they don't touch the roots, bad things happen fast when the roots are on ice.

i pulled more tips down and moved them to even out canopy. at the rate they're growing i wonder if i need to flip now. what do you guys think. and should i do a dark period before the flip?

Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

what strain are you growing I forget? I would say your not quite there yet bro, all of the tallest tops can be trained outwards until the lower branching catches up in the middle. If its a sativa dom strain you want the screen around 70% full and up to 85% if its an indica dom. you want to try and get all the tops a couple of inches past the screen before you flip, otherwise the lower shorter ones will get smothered. I woulpd say another week or so and you should fill that screen by the time the stretch is done:)
 
Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

thanks jon , the strain is og#18 supposed to not be as stretchy as reg og. will keep training till lowers catch up. do you use a dark period before the flip?:Namaste:
 
Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

Mmmm...og #18 is one half of holy grail kush and it trippled in size for me. I dont use a dark period I run 1 week for transition and then start the count. Thats just the way I do it im know lots of people count from the flip I just prefer it my way.I feel the plants get what they need at the right time this way and I usually go for 30% amber trychs, with the week of transition The manufacturers recomendation for flower time is usually bang on:)

tripled? wow i only have about a 2 1/2' safe area about the screen. what was the HGK sweet spot on the nutes? thats whats next for me and your using .7 convertion right? do you use co2 during the stretch? i was going to at the start and just see how quickly i ran out of room and stop if needed.
:thanks: for taking the time to share your knowledge
 
Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

Im using bpn and it is completely different than the gh 3 part I used to use. I was also running multipal strains so its tough to say bro. with gh I never went over 1000 ppm and right now with bpn the ppm's are 1500 without a burnt tip in the room. You want your ppm's to drop slowly and your ph to rise slowly.I think im using .5 conversion. I run co2 right from clone bro, you actually get better benifits from co2 during veg. 1000 ppm during veg and 1200 ppm for flower.once you start giving them co2 I wouldn't suggest taking it away. I dont know all the tecnical stuff about this i just know its not good to do.

Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

talk to heavy 16 today and they told me not to adjust my ph as long as its 4.5 to 6.8 and not to use regular ph adjusters. to use organic adjusters, he said the prime is a natural ph down and their roots is a natural ph up. dont no what to think sounds like AN . not really AN told me never adjust. their going to send me a sample of their foliar so thats cool. plants look super healthy now that i got the ppm's up over 900 even the yellow tips are almost green again. going to just follow their feed chart see how it goes.

i did a dose of half strength liquid light yestarday. and pulled down and trainned more tips today.
thanks for stopping by:thanks:

update

defoilated today mostly bottom and middle leaves to get some good air flow. trainned a couple branchs too. ppms 830 ph 5.8
when i change the res this week i'm going to move the location of my pump to before the chiller so i dont have to raise controller on restart.
thanks for stopping by:thanks:

the main stalks on the girls are about 2 1/2" thick and they're only 15" tall

The bottom of your plants looks like the size of big stalks of celery I get at the grocery :) way to go
 
Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

thanks AM, its all jons trainning technique the last plant i grew that had stalks that big was over six feet tall. these girls are under two feet.

the exciting part is about to begin:high-five:
