I did reservoir change today.

PPM: 151
pH: 6.1
Nutes: 1.6 ml / gal for each fg/fb/fm/cm
 
I let my res drift from 5.5 to 6.0. 6.1 is a little high. Your plant has a nice shade of green and doesn’t look like it’s lacking but the ppm seems a bit low. Might want to slowly raise the ppm. I moved three diesel/glue clones to the tent today and set the new res @ 450ppm. There about the same size as your plant. What exactly is pond protection?

enyzmes and pH buffer
 
I added a gallon of nutes w/ 2.4645 ml of FG/FB/FM/CM each to the reservoir

pH: 5.5
PPM: 425

Does she look like she has P deficiency?

If you ph has been over 6 for very long it very well could be P lockout. Keep an eye on the new growth.

Did you buy the pond protector at a hydro store? I wouldn’t use any product that isn’t specifically formulated for hydroponics. Their website didn’t mention anything about hydroponic use. I use hydroguard.

Make sure your res temp stays below 70. I try and keep mine 65-70 which is much easier now that summers over.

Looks like your using four bottles for nutes. What order are you mixing? Needs to be micro first then grow/bloom in either order. Add cal mag last. Then PH.

I didn't know order mattered apart from pH last.

I have been mixing the nutrients before adding then to the reservoir. Right now I have 4 gallons pre-mixed for my next change and for topping off.

I have been using tap water I let acclimate uncovered 3 days, then add FG-FB-FM-CM-PFP. THE PFP is very low dose and only on reservoir change. Last I pH... Typically pH down.

I have pH and EC meters in an aquarium filter I modified to house the sensors. The filter pump runs continually to circulate the reservoir for the readings and to aerate the solution. I get live readings on my dashboard. Here's a chart of the last 24 hours.

PH is dark, EC is light and the red lines are when the feed pump circulates the nutes to the plant. 3 x day for 15 minutes. I have 2 drip lines going to the plant, 1 on each side. They each emit at a rate of 2 gallons per hour.

Hey Caddie... You got a journal I can follow for these ladies?

Looks like she's about 8" tall and starting to form the main cola.

I'm getting ready to perform my weekly reservoir change. Should I be sticking with veg schedule or am I supposed to start transitioning to bloom now?

I keep thinking one of these days I'll be done buying equipment for this operation.

She's about 17" tall now and starting to develop an aroma.

Looks like your getting everything dialed in. Your almost at a 60 day veg, when you flipping? You going to take some cuttings?
Click to expand...
She's an auto flower so I didn't think I needed to change light schedule. Also why I wasn't planning to do any cuttings. I did consider trimming those bottom leaves, but, as it's my first grow decided to just let her go and see what happens.

She's growing over 1"/day right now. White pistols all over. I rubbed a couple leaves today and they felt a little oily and have a strong odor.

I upped her nutes to 1/2 strength of the GH heavy veg schedule. Once she stops stretching I'll transition to bloom schedule.

BTW.. I forgot to thank you for cluing me in on the GH website. Found the right grow schedule and other good info too :thumb:
