Getting nice and bushy in there Hippie lucky on the lady bugs! I love them loads and they really do wonders. They are unfortunately in hibernation on my side of the world right now though.

Trying to get them tall enough to fill in the open spot in the back ! I’ve seen the ladybugs in the garden but not like this year !

Day 4 of 12/12
Keeping the light 12” to the canopy, growing two inches a day !
Outside temp 77 humidity 86% SE 14 mph 80% chance of rain!
Building temp 71.2 humidity 70%
Tent temp 78.1 humidity 67%
Canopy temp 82.0 ?
Water temp 65.8 down 1-1/2 gallons Falling
TDS 730 ppm was 791 ppm Falling
Ph 6.1 Rising hydro grow bible perfect raise the EC . Going to use 25% of Connoisseur part a&b and let’s watch the ph ! ! Mixing , in the first grow I ran 25% and couldn’t change the ph from 5.45 and after 5-10 days it will start to rise .
TDS is 998 ppm according to blue lab the conversation EC is 2.0 . Ph holding at 5.8 will check it later . The water is clear so I added URB 80mL , it doesn’t change the TDS! It said to add it weekly , looked used up . Right now I’m adding 5 mL a gallon, after two weeks in 12/12 I’ll up it to 10 mL a gallon! Recommends either or 5 or10 mL a gallon. Checked the ph still 5.8 Advanced Nutrients did bring it to at least the 5.8 ! Tied the girls down , the plant in the back looks bleached ! Just tied them down no breaks , no twist ! Pics

Damn,West-Imagine how they'd look if they weren't tied down?

It gets a little tricky tying them down when they're that bushy- trying to sort out which top is connected to which branch....I looked at my plants this morning,and my first thought was "uh-oh"... they grew an inch overnight,and there appears to be twice as many leaves as there was 2 days ago-
So I've got some tying down and defoliation on my schedule today,before they get away from me.
Beautiful plants you've got there,West

Thanks Carcass, I did a fim too late on these girls . I just laid them down towards the bare spot in the tent. Stuffing the big leaves under for more bud sites . Defoliation schedule day 21 hopefully!

Moved the light up to 16” , 83k lux - 78k lux across the canopy. Don’t know if it’s a magnesium or bleaching of the leaves ! The girl front right , the prehistoric one has none of the bleaching or short on magnesium or manganese it can’t get till a ph of 5.6 !

I'm lazy. What's "magical"?

 

[West Hippie]

Same as calmag techna flora does magical, magnesium & calcium. I use ro water I use magical at 100% then 4 or5 days later I add another 30mL !

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

Thanx, brother. There's so much info and shorthand on this site sometimes it's hard to keep up!

I’ll be back on Advanced Nutrients next week. I just use techna flora for veg and need a lot of magical in veg my best guess why is the ro water .

 

[Phaaaze]

Tuned in just in time! Looking good over there I have a similar setup and around the same day give or take a day!

Looking forward to following along you've been killing it so far

Had a few leaves this morning show N toxicity a little claw ! All three girls are showing it , I went on into flower with veg nutrients can be the only answer ! ? Won’t try this again ! Maybe change nutrients and water tomorrow.

Hey Hippie - i think you're right about that being a slight nitrogen toxicity . Them ladies don't need much nitrogen in flower, however i also keep with my veg nutes in the first 7-10 days of switching my lights to 12/12.
