Schloss Von Blurple

I was supposed to be asleep when I wrote this, so I didn't spend the time to do the math because I wanted to get back to bed.

If a half a 3.0cf bale (or 1.5cf) = 20 gallons of Faux Mix®/Praux Mix®, then 1/3 of a 3.8cf bale is 1.27cf and should produce 17 gallons of Praux Mix®. If you add 2 tablespoons of dolomite lime to each gallon of product made, that would be 34 tablespoons or 2.125 (2 and 1/8) cups. If in fact you did make 17 gallons of mix, and only put in 13 tablespoons of lime, you put in 38% of the amount you should have.
Thank you for staying up and doing the math for me...it makes sense that I was short on lime. I'm just bamboozled by the higher ph readings I'm getting. We shall know more tommorow once I slurry test that leftover faux/praux mix I used. I'd certainly rather it being more acidic than alkaline, as it's a easier fix...hopefully.

Update in Das Schloss

No water, no nutes
Light is at 21 inches
VPD is set for 23 C @ 53 % rh


Im struggling with some issues that Im trying to get to the bottom of. Slurry test of my leftover Praux Mix® has come in at 5.6.

I suppose my next course of action will be to work some lime into those pots. Im thinking 2 tablespoon each and rake it into the medium as much as I can, which Im imagining to be the top 2 inches only.

Looks like stretch is pretty much done, and on Wednesday it will be the end of week 3 and I will defoiliate.












 
Now its stuck in my head [/facepalm]
 
Your welcome! :battingeyelashes:

beautiful day here in Alberta! Hope your enjoying the sun! I’m in my back yard sun tanning as we speak! Shorts sandles, muscle shirt!:woohoo: for second summer! Lol just playin, I give it 4 hours and back to the negatives
Watchin football my man....slippers and jammies.

Go Saskatchewan
 
To me the plants look good. I see some Ca def starting in a couple of pics which typically happens a couple of weeks after flip. What's causing it is to be determined.
I dont think the pics are truly showing the lethargic look to them. The left side of the tent has good down leaf turn. The reset has seemed to stop or even slow down the problem at the front right of the tent. CBD plant back right corner is the most robust looking health wise to me. We're making buds though.
 
Ya I suppose so. It's hard to see the problems you described tbh. You smoke right?
Why yes....yes I do.

The droopiness might be wet feet, no? Maybe with all the rinsing she's a little stressed.
Perhaps, however they were curling before the reset.
 
Flower Day 20

Update in Das Schloss

6.5 g Megacrop / 4 L
Each plant getting 1 L
Light is at 21 inches
VPD is set for 23 C @ 49 % rh



Very light watering yesterday as the pots were 75 percent dried out from the reset. I wanted to give them a little something before I schwazz the plants tommorow. As I will be stripping a lot of foliage, there will be no reserve for the plants to draw on so I wanted to pre feed/wet them, schwazz them, and then full feed/water them tommorow. Slowly dropping rh everyday by 3 percent to land at 40 %

Get a last look at the jungle before I clear cut it.







 
Nice thick jungle you have there looking forward to seeing them after the strip. I usually do leaf stripping on my grows as well it can really help with the development of the lower stuff :goodluck:

Thank you sir, The risk is the plant/light/nutes/enviroment should be dialed in for post schwazz. Im too inexperienced to say, but I think Im 80 percent there.

Nice and green as they should be.
They are not the verdant they used to be, let me say this about that.

Having looked at the pics you posted of the the inside of the pots, I think drainage is your problem. There is very little air getting to the lower roots with the tiny holes ½" up from the bottom, and a reservoir at the bottom with stones in it. This keeps the bottom roots much wetter than the upper part of the pot, and wet roots can create any number of possible deficiencies. As the plant requires more nutrients as it moves into flower, it has difficulty accessing them.

That's my theory!

In veg, I tried hard not to fill those bottom reservoirs so I could get a good wet/dry cycle, and everything was great. Granted...thats veg for you. When I flipped to flower, I made sure to have those reservoirs filled. Things started to sour...but thats flipping for you. I do like your theory, and some pieces are starting to fit with your theory. I will be watering 4 L now instead of the 6 L per plant I was doing. Making a effort to not fill those bottoms.

You did notice that the medium and the lava stones are separated by that tacky place mat stuff? Socked if you will.
 
Day 21 Flower

Schwazzing und Frühstück in Das Schloss

6.5g MegaCrop / 4 L
Each plant getting 2 L
Light is at 21inches
VPD is set for 23 C @ 48 % rh


Not a true schwazz in the purist sense but it will do until a pure schwazz shows up. I borked one cut on the back left clone sister and lost the top to the biggest bud on that plant. [/facepalm] Price of doing business I guess.

Each plant received 2 L coupled with the 1 L from yesterday. I put 2 tablespoons of lime into the topdressing I did earlier in the week and watered it in with the said nutes. I intend to do 2 L every 3/4 days instead of the 6 L every week I was doing before.

Fingers crossed. I hope Im ok and I can eventually hit cruise control from here out. Ill update tommorow to show how they responded.
