Yeah I just think they look funny. She's got them all over. She's doing okay but getting paler and paler. I did notice on the last feed that the drain holes were quite blocked up so I poked some garden wire in and opened them up again. Probably wasn't helping.

Yeah it's starting. That's come on over the last 2 days. She looks beautiful up close.

I'll bet her aroma is developing nicely too. :)

That quantum should do wonders for you.

She does smell nice but not very strong. Unless I'm just smell blind now. Ha ha. The quantum has been shipped and should arrive tomorrow. Sunday is my only day off work until the following Sunday so I'll be busy fitting it in the cabinet and trying to complete the veg box I've started to build. May get chance to put the quantum in tomorrow night if I'm lucky.

Ha ha! Me too, I'm front of the queue. Had a slight delay on the order as apparently they now come with a new dimmer box that took a bit longer to arrive.
 
Gave #2 another feed tonight. Same dose as the last one. Checked the ph of the water and the run off. Using litmus paper so it's not pinpoint but looks between 7 & 8 for the water and the run off was almost the same. Closer to 7 maybe. The soil should self regulate the ph to a certain degree but perhaps with her not having a lot of soil it's not quite doing it. Not far out though. Will try manually bringing that ph down a little for the next feed.

Both together in the cabinet and the ph test.

Just had notification the quantum board has been delivered. Woo hoo! The new beans arrived yesterday too. Christmas come early.
 
The quantum board is in. Yay! #2 looking pretty dreadful and some yellowing of #1's leaf veins now. Not so yay. Flushed #2 with water I ph'd down to what looks like bang on 7 with some distilled vinegar. #1 had a feed ph'd to the same. Things were going so well before.

Got it at about 3/4 power and will see how the temps are in the morning. Need to get this yellow shit sorted out and I'll be happy.

The quantum boards are decently intense. I have found that the plants seem to want more nutes under my 65watt 4K so keep that in mind when running that board.

Thanks for the heads up.
 
Absolute disaster struck last night. I ran the cable for the quantum board across the top of the old DIY filter. Didn't think it was putting any pressure on it but I was wrong. It fell out in the night landing on one of the big colas. Crushed it and snapped it at the base of the stem. Decent portion of my harvest gone right there. I've tied it back up in place but little hope it will heal. Need something to go right soon.

Proper raging with myself right now. Lesson learned though. Won't be making any changes to the cabinet unless I have the time to keep a really close eye on it for a good few hours. Was too excited to get the quantum board in there. Grrrrrrrr.

Thanks mate. Yeah really frustrating. Didn't have time this morning but I'll wrap some tape around it too when I get home later. Hopefully it won't cause issues with the rest of the plant. My own stupid fault.
 
get it in position and duck tape it asap, if you need to tie itnfrom above to hold it up do so, i am a master of snap and tape now.
do it early it should be ok!!! fingers x

if not and it has to go can it be salvaged to dry and smoke lol

shr luck man just when the exciting boards arrived!!

looking good in there with them now tho ay, the qbs are wicked
