Awesome!. Keep up the good work brother!.. We've tried feed, water, feed, water... but just did all feed last round. Kosher didn't like it too much but all the others seemed to do fine.

Do you feed/water everyday?

Oh no... just depending on the phase we are in, it can range from every 2-3 days to 5 days. We check every one, every day with a meter. Some days we may feed 8, other days 38 or more. Just depends on how fast they are eating. I dont think I have ever done one single plant back to back days.

What meter do you speak of? I would like to know.
Just a quick verbal update. Things are going okay, I got a bit of a Cal issue, but I am working on it. I ordered a Blue Labs PH soil pen the other day just to check and try to stay on top of things. The one and only Triple Whammy left is pretty beat up and taking it the hardest, this strain has been a pain in the ass the whole time, I look forward to never seeing this strain again.
I will get some photos up in a day or two.

Nothing fancy.. just one of those 3 way meters you get off of Amazon. Lifting every one of these is a pain so I just use the meter. You get a feel for how it reads moisture because they all read just a little bit different.

Well here are couple of pictures to get started with and some news to follow.
As we all can see some of the plants are showing some problems. I have been working on figuring it out. I have always had a problem with clawing the last 2 grows and always figured I didn't know how to correct it with NFTG's and looked into things on that angle. Also a couple other things here and there.
My Blue Labs PH Soil Pen came in yesterday and I checked it out this morning, yep soil PH is low. Its a learning experience.

Awesome. That soil pen is paying for itself already!
I'm a big soil dummy, so I'm no help. But I am here as a cheerleader.

So on Monday as I said earlier I discovered the soil PH was low, it was around 5.6-5.8 among all the plants. On Tuesday morning I gave them a feeding and went heavy on the Olympus Up (limestone) at 6.9. On Wednesday morning I checked the soil and it was at 6.2-6.3. In my brief study of the best route to raise it with NFTG a lot of people said Oly Up gets in and buffers the soil quick and I have to agree.
On another note I must say I am very happy with the new soil pen, besides my light fixtures this is the best investment I have made for growing!

I will do a proper update later today to let you folks know how things are going. Its okay at best, I feel my experiment with the feed/water schedule is to blame. Live and learn and this crop is almost done with just a few weeks to go.
Something I want to share. I spoke earlier about wanting expand my small operation, and in the background I've been working on getting somethings in order. So far I have made several smaller purchases, yesterday I made a decision to really amp things up. I am sure its obvious I really dig Timber Grow Lights, they make a fine fixture. I reached out to our good friend @RainDan who is always a pleasure to do business with, and a order was placed.
Two Redwood VS's are coming to the farm, and for the third time I am fucking stoked!

LOL, I get what you mean Teag, but I am my own worst critic. Plus I only put up some of the good photos, like in the first one if you look in the background you can see the Triple Whammy (TriFi x TK91) is a little fucked. I will say again I can't wait for this strain to be done and out of my life. The Fire & Desire (last photo) are smelling great, but all the leaves are yellowing out. I am watching it, maybe its an early finisher.
Yes Sir.......... In the zone for sure, I am guessing the whole round will be done around July 10th.

Verbal update. Things are growing and finishing up, which is good because I am about out of smoke! I got one Sundae Float coming down in a week or so, the rest got a minute.
I met with my electrician this morning and he will have me wired up in the next couple days, and I'll probably have the new lights within 2 weeks. Everything is working out and will give me a week or so break from growing, and should have the whole new operation running full steam by October.
