Glad your enjoying the journal Northern! Always good for a good laugh around here with some of the members that drop in.

I grew in nothing but pro mix for the last year and made the switch to Dwc with my current run. I do have another pro mix grow planned in the next 3-4 weeks that I will have on the journal. Any questions don't hesitate to ask if I don't know the answer some of the other members that hang out here will.

Nice strip and flip! Clean underneath and still can't see the buckets from above. That's a good use of your lights. Nice N!

Thank you Shed! I just opened the tent after their first 12 hour nap and all is looking good. They almost completely filled the top of the canopy back in!

Strip and Flip :hmmmm: Mind if I use that again Shed?
 
The technique or the phrase? Not that I made up either. ;)
 
That's all you Baron :thumb:
 
Here you are talking about stripping and flipping. I thought I was the only one who cooked bacon like that :)
 
It's day 2 since the flip and the girls are doing great! Stretch is on I am getting a little concerned with the height in the tent as I've only got about a foot before the lights are as high as they can go so I may have to move them to a different tent or do some super cropping but we will wait and see. Water temps have been a little cool at 62 degrees but they don't seem to bothered. I am also noticing it takes alot more ph down to keep them in the right range before I would add 2 drops of ph down to get them into range now it takes at least 6 drops. I'm thinking it's from the flip to flower but not totally sure as this is new to me. Other then that not a whole lot new gonna keep them on the veg food for the first 2 weeks of flower then switch to the flowering food. Should be a fun next couple of weeks.

There was a mention of the drift in bloom that is more noticeable in a res than in a medium, Barney86 had mentioned it in his coco feed thread.

Barney86 said:
It's partly to do with natural root secretions and partly to do with the change in NPK levels mate.
Veg has high N low pk. Bloom has low N high PK.
If you have a look at some different brands of nutes, you'll notice that quite a few have started calling their pH down "pH veg" and pH up "pH bloom" wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't supposed to fall in bloom.
Otherwise you'd be feeding at 6.5, it would straight away be rising out of range and you'd only have pH up to fix it with. Same with if you started at the lower end. Wouldn't be able to bring it back down cos again the bloom adjuster only makes it rise.

It's pretty hard to see this in Coco as you can't measure things fantastically accurately once they're in the media but if you put the Coco on a recirc pump with a rervoir you can see it no problem on the meters.
Also, most feed charts tell you to feed waaay more than you need. To strong a nute mix will overpower the natural processes and make the pH swing go up in bloom.
So yes, if you follow a chart that says the pH will rise in bloom then it most likely will but it's because the chart is saying to feed too strong.
Again, you can only really see it when you use a reservoir of some sort but I promise you it's there. We can see the ppm levels go through the roof.

Thanks for that Canuk! Reading that I may drop my ppm numbers a bit on the next res change as I am seeing my ppm rising on on a couple of the plants and the ph is rising from 5.8 to 6.2 pretty much everyday.
 
Unless you do a lot of post-stretch thinning I'm not sure you'll have much room for supercropping without covering up something else. You're pretty wall-to-wall in there!

Those buckets start you much higher than a pot would...

You nailed it Shed I don't think there is a place to even put a super cropped branch in the canopy. I'm praying to the cannabis gods for them not to get any taller... I think they are laughing at me.

That's really rearing it's ugly head now lol. Should have been on the training earlier. The delay was waiting for the Gz to ripen a little more in the tent these are in now. Still not very good at this whole timing thing :rolleyes:
 
Once you thin out after stretch there may be some space to lay some of the leaders flat. And you learn something on every grow, otherwise you're not growing! :cheesygrinsmiley:

After I thin them when the stretch is done I will have a better idea what I'm dealing with. They filled in so fast after the thinning I did before I flipped them it kinda caught me by surprise tbh. I have learned something on every run that's what keeps this hobby so fun!

Full house N4! That's good right? :)

I think it's good...maybe lol. They filled the space so fast I couldn't believe it. Gonna take a bunch of leaves when they are done reaching for the sun just gotta find something to do with them all... Mrs. N has been mentioning she wanted a new quilt for the bed:idea:
