HYDRO New Grow Diary advice/tips/tricks appreciated

To me, 1350 ppm is too high and I can see some nute burn on the tips of some leaves. I never got above 1000 ppm during my DWC grow.

>1000 ppm is ok *if* you are also providing enough light. There is a balance.

The latest dose of nutrients is the highest in the TA series. I’m using a Viparspectra V900 and a Mars Hydro TS1000, so hopefully will get the benefits.

So, yesterday I was on eBay and bid on a couple of things and I accidentally bought another light... I don’t want it going to waste, so I “accidentally” had to buy another tent (en route) and some containers and bits and bobs for another setup.

Split the ventilation and filtration system this afternoon and started putting some of the irrigation and return plumbing system together.

The tent coming is a 150x150x200cm, I probably could do more plants in that space but I think 12 is about right for now.

LOL i'm on ebay also, got a few lights in my holding area. It's a bad idea for me right now but what else are we gardeners doing during winter

Like a glove...

Water changed, current stats:
PH: 6
PPM: 925
EC: 1.85

Should I thin out secondary growth leaving just the main colas?

 

[RetiredGuy]

Nice looking plants! If they were mine I would thin out a few fan leaves so you can barely see thru the top of the canopy to see the top of your reservoir. I just thinned mine after reading the defoliation tutorial on the main site.

Lookin good 👍
You might want to increase your phosphorus and potassium a little. She wants a lot of it right now. Her stems are turned red, and the older, lower leaves are getting a bluish tinge of color.

 

[Kajicky]

Cheers for the advice. I’ll definitely increase the phosphorus and potassium.

I went for the Ionic PK boost, arrived today so have now added to the tank. Will take some pics in a couple of days. Thanks again!

Did another round of thinning of the larger fan leaves.

I upgraded to a bigger filter. Overkill much? 🤣

 

[YYCannabis]

Is that for air into the tents? Or exhaust from the tents?
