I’m quite sure that wasn’t the lesson at all. Thanks though.
If there had to be a lesson it was “listen to your fingers”.
A bit of gentle stem crushing over an inch or two always helps a stem to go around corners.
I hope the graft takes

Thats got to be more than 300 gramsDay 69
Flower Day 30
Tent temp: 24C avg
Tent RH%: 40-50%
Previous PPM: : 1025 (falling)
Current PPM: 1023
Adjusted PPM to: 1023 (not adjusted)
PH: 6.5 reset to 5.6
Res temp: 25.5C (getting hot!!)
Water level: down
So, they've continued to do fairly well, and after hooking up the drain hose to the dehumidifier I had a nice surprise...a dry floor. But as is the continuous issue, there just had to be a slight bit of drama
(and I hate drama) when doing some leaf tucking- and deciding to move one stem over a square in the net...the top snapped....right off. Well lesson learnt, listen to DD.
Tried taping it back on, probably not going to take, but why not try eh?
So....I also noticed that the res temp was getting rather high with the heat. Chiller is now chillin.
And you remember that stunted one? Kept her on life support and she is now my 1st outdoor plant.

Lmao yup! Not the 1st time I've snapped one and taped it back up. Just the first time trying with a completely snapped top. I figured the top was headed to the trash so why notAw, So I won't be seeing the building of "Noah's Ark" in the near future aye!
Good deal! I'm glad that pain in the aarse leaking is done with.
Sorry, but,
I don't know... maybe if you were to cleanly line up the break......it would die slower, or not!
If it's not to late ..... you could angle cut the stem and put it in at least a glass of water... hydroponic cloner.....
Yeah that's totally what I should have done, just didn't think of it. Done is done, either it takes or it doesn't, just hope it didn't stress her too badly. Thanks DD, I listen better next time, hopefully lolI’m quite sure that wasn’t the lesson at all. Thanks though.

Thats both my thoughts and hopes. I'm thinking these might (hopefully) be the biggest I've grown out yet.Thats got to be more than 300 grams

Oh I hope so, don't think they'll hit your level of sparkles (yours always seem so nicely coated) , but the smell is starting...and it's nice that I don't have to worry about the neighbors smelling them

Day 70
Flower Day 31
Tent temp: 24C avg
Tent RH%: ~40-50%
Previous PPM: : 1030 (rise), adjusted to 953
Current PPM: 936 (drop)
Adjusted PPM to: 1010
PH: 6.3 reset to 5.8
Res temp: 22.1C
Water level: down, decent drop
So when I went to check the girls this afternoon I noticed they had taken a nice drop outta the res volume. There was a slight rise in PPM. This could have just been from the amount of the drop, but to be safe I topped up a bit with some RO (with 320ppm cal-mag). Then ph'd to 5.8.
This evening they had eaten and drank a nice volume again, the PPM had dropped a bit, so I topped up to 1010PPM (cal mag, ocean magic, liquid koolbloom, terpinator, Orca).
The top I taped up? Guess what? It didn't work, big surprise lol, i didn't think it would work, but she seems to be showing no effect.
Ohh and I found a little critter

Yeah. I can’t point at where that top came out from where I’m standing. That’s a very busy canopy. You are going to have so much pot!

Day 73
Flower Day 34
Tent temp: 21C avg
Tent RH%: ~30-50%
Previous PPM: : 996 (drop), adjusted to 986ppm (top off)
Current PPM: 995 (rise)
Adjusted PPM to: 995 (not adjusted)
PH: 6.3 reset to 5.8
Res temp: 18.1C
Water level: down, decent drop daily
So right now the three girls are going through about 20~30L per day of solution. While I'm seeing some rises in PPM, they are accompanied by decent drops of nutrient levels in the reservoir. This leads me to believe that they're hovering around 1000PPM and what I'm seeing is just a result of some elements being taken in more then others. I'll continue around 1000PPM and top up once a day, PH adjust twice a day. Ph isn't rising above 6.3 ish.
I've got some purple showing on the super skunk, that's a first for me!
Have a good weekend everyone!

It does look nice with the different coloured pistils.
10 litres per plant per day did I read that right? Hydro is a lot different to soil.

Thank you DonkeyDick! There is three plants in there, and yeah I've found it hard to believe myself- I've double checked on more then one occasion that I've not got a plugged drain again. I've been adding roughly 20L, maybe more (~4 inches of water in 100L tote) per day the last few days.

Your numbers fluctuating at this stage is pretty normal and as long as they r still dropping the mix levels every 24 hrs like your seeing there should be no problems as long as it never gets to strong.
The different strains r feeding differently as they do but still lots of vigour across the board.
Nicely done my friend and I’m glad to hear you have that system running well for ya.
play safe and enjoy everyone

Thanks KC, always good to hear when one of my theories of what's happening is actually more or less right
I'm keeping an eye on the PPM and my RO reservoir topped up daily.
Taking a quick look back- it's been a rough, but progressive month for the girls. Pic below shows the nice difference a month can make.
