My perpetual grow journal

Right on I had no idea what those tubes were for either until you explained it just now.
For the time being I don't have water plumbed to my grow i have to walk outside and get it from the spigot one jug at a time. Takes me a dozen trips but I still greatly enjoy growing in soil. The girls can get thirsty once that root ball starts maturing but I wonder if you will notice a difference in smell or flavor of the final buds since you are growing hydro side by side with soil.
 
Big girls are loving life and taking anything I throw at them. Easily drinking a gallon of solution a day, each, and EC drops about 400-500 in two days. I'd still rather chase the nutes than over feed so keeping the schedule as is. The terpinator side has a lighter green tone to the leaves but that's about the only difference right now. They are all getting to about 5 foot, but two were lifted 6 inches at the flip to match canopy heights. Had to raise my light 6 clicks a day for this last week. I feel like the flower production is better on this grow but that could be just my hopes for the new light.
Also hung my GoPro from the light frame and have been taking a photo once a day, for the last week or so. If Campesino doesn't care if I make a time lapse like him then I'll put it together at the end or when it looks good enough to post. SoG (8 weeks tomorrow for 2/3) is coming along with amber popping up on the sugar leaves. Definitely drinking a lot more water than nutes. Seems a little early from the last grow of pineapple Express but first time growing with led. 20180327_005505.jpg20180327_005854.jpg
I have a slight issue with my soil grow and thinking it's a P or Ca deficiency but unsure so any thoughts would be cool. It's not all the leaves but a few up at the top under the new growth, say 2-3 nodes down. Water is about 6.8 pH before nutes but I don't check anything as a test for the pH control I mixed in. The soil tests at about 6.8 pH also. There's barely any P mixed in and haven't started adding any yet.

Nice looking canopy!
Of course I don't mind... Let me know if you have any questions - I look forward to seeing it!
It's a bit strange, but there are certainly signs that support a Ca deficiency diagnosis on that leaf. I'm not convinced, but treating for that couldn't hurt.
 
That could be, I don't check anything. They have been growing fine since the start. I checked the tap after it has been sitting and it's about 7.6 pH so that could be it. Not sure but could be getting close to being root bound also.
 
Man I have similar issues, 2/3 are great. One plant is acting like this one. I tried to let it work itself out, just lowered ph. It helped, but either too late or needs a little calmag as well.
 
Maybe I'll water to run off and check the pH to see where it's at. As you can see the brown is down a few nodes and the new growth looks like maybe a little tip burn. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. I am no expert, just playing around to see what happens. I don't have a lot of confidence in it turning out great but then again....unless it's building something or cooking, my confidence level is pretty low. I'm just glad I've gotten through what I have to this point.
 
Thanks attitude seed bank! Two weeks and it's at my doorstep. Lots to choose from but some are saved for a little project.

On another note, 33 gallons of water dumped into the grow room last night....so that was fun, moving everthing, cutting out the plastic, and vacuuming. Dehumidifiers are going and fans on medium. Ugh.... At least I get to reorganize 😅

hey Rosetta you did good only 33 gallons what was the ph afterwards ,Last time I flushed it took about 20 to 30 gallons per plant but after I was done it really took off .also I use to grow like you and never worried about ph then I had a lockout was able to save the grow . since then I have been checking and adjusting ph
 
This water went on floor ojh, and everywhere else for that matter. One of my reservoirs failed. On the search today for remnants of vinyl flooring or see what my friends have laying around. My supply of "acquired" materials is real low, haven't built houses for 6 years.
As far as the soil goes, I just need to get my ratios of acid to alkaline correct.
 
Remnants found and thanks to Easter it was half price! My buddy had a roll for the flower room but that's going to be a little more challenging, laying it down with a full net of plants will not be fun.

nice repair work Rosetta ,I'm kinda glad I grow in my cellar the temp swings can be a bitch but I dont have to worry about water damage with the dirt floor ,although I do get yelled at occasionally for tracking mud upstairs , My wife does not actually yell at me her quite works are enough , I am just flabbergasted that this women has not raised her voice to me in 21 years . So when I say yell its really like oh Honey look at the mud you dragged in. and thats enough to get me moving lol
