I’ve seen ph fluctuation due to algae growth and also nutrient lockout.
Thanks for the info ill look into it!
Pulled the plants and gave the buckets a wash. Everything looked good.
Ec now at 1.3
Ph 5.9
Day time Temps at 21
Looking good.
You might find going up to the EC 2 range is too high. I do crazy shit, but it’s only according to the instructions I have with the bottles I use.

Thanks for the tip! Still along ways from 2.0. I brought it up to 1.3 last night. Will leave it there until the screen fills up. At least another week…

5 weeks from seed
Both girls are hauling ass! I figure one more week and ill trim everything below the Scrog net, then a few days after that flip to 12/12
The ugly sister is super bushy. Resembles a head of cabbage or lettuce lol. Wish it would catch up to her sister and fill up that screen though!
This girl just doing great. Filling up the screen nicely.
Trimmed everything below the net today. Planning on going to 12/12 on Thursday which will be 42 days from seed.
The mutant had all these weird double fan leaves. Like two leaves growing on top of each other from the same stalk. Ill be surprised if it doesn’t end up a hermi.

nice mutation! I’ve got one that grows a single frond from the center of the leaf, and sometimes also a bud!

Day 42. 6 weeks from seed.
Topped up buckets with 1.4 E.C, 5.8 PH last night
Day time temp sitting at 22
Humidity as high as I can get it at 40%
Been misting the plants every cpl nights to try and combat the low humidity.
Switching to 12/12 tonight. The mutant could go longer but the one girl is more than big enough. Want to get this grow done so I can add two more buckets and really fill the tent.
Happy girl:
Ugly sister:

Only 5 days since last update, but today marks the end of week 2 flower. Trying to keep updates on the weekly for ease of reference in my next grow.
Feeding every 2 days with EC 1.5 and PH 5.8. I actually don’t have to adjust PH at all. Just ends up perfect.
Day time Temps are sitting 22-23C dropping to 16C at night.
Humidity still super low. I struggle to keep it at 40% during the day.
This girl is hauling ass. Looks like 4 plants not 1. Buds setting up beautifully. Going to be more aggressive with the preflower scrog trim next grow. I also think she could be taking a lot more than EC1.5, but I want to play it safe for now.
The ugly sister is turning into Cinderella. No signs of pollen sacks. Buds setting up nice. Altho alot smaller she may turn out good!

Here’s a few shots from lights out last night. 2.5 weeks into flower. Looking good. Feeding with 1.6 EC at this point.

bloom is well under way! They came close to filling the space, but they’ll probably grow more yet.

Yah I could have veged longer to fill the tent, but I want to get this run done and add 2 more plants. With the 4 plants, i should only have to veg 4 weeks or so.
Cheers!
5 weeks into flower
Messed up and stopped checking PH because I thought it was good. Ended up feeding with a PH of like 4.8 for 2 weeks maybe. Fixed now they bouncing back nicely.
Feeding EC 1.8
PH 5.7
Temps 25C day/16C night
Humidty 40%-50%

How is your ph is it fairly stable or need to be adjusted frequently?

Pretty stable as I am (now) adjusting Ph and feeding daily.
The ph mistake happened because I didn’t realize how much upping the EC would drop my PH. When I was feeding at around 1.3 the PH was sitting at 5.8 or 9, but when I upped gradually to 1.7 or 1.8 it dropped the PH down to 4.8 or 9.

Yah, I’m going to switch to Advanced Nutrients next grow. Guy at the hydro store said the product will self adjust its PH. Going to do some more research on it but it sounds good not having to worry about PH anymore.
