pH: 6.1

Standard day. Nothing too exciting. The plant was starting to press up into the screen rather than grow through it, so I started bending her sideways just a bit. She's right on the verge of flowering, so I expect to see a fair bit of stretch in the next week or so.
Hi guys,
Not a whole lot to say today. I completed a nute flush this morning and also cut a top access hole in my reservoir. While I was adjusting the pH a little while ago I accidentally over-did it with pH-down, so I ended up putting about 2mL of excess pH solutions into my res. This...
Yeah... I have had limited success finding a concrete explanation as well. Some say mineral deposits / salts, some say mold, etc. I think the safest thing for me to do is take off the top layer of rockwool and cover it so it gets less light. This should take care of the problem either way. The...
Nice! It's good to know that I played a small part in someone else deciding to do something cool. Grassy ass indeed. I just picked up a half-oz from a buddy; it's exciting to realize that it may have been the last time I pay for herb.
Numbers for today:
pH: 6.05
PPM: 960
I was too...
Hiya endofwed! Thanks for coming. I'd be happy to answer your questions and look forward to seeing a similar grow :).
I haven't changed my container. I'm using 2L of nutrient solution (about half a gallon). It has been an interesting challenge to work with. During the first 24 hours or so after...
Here's the scoop:
pH: 6.05
PPM: 940
These numbers are virtually unchanged since 24 hours ago and the plant is looking great. I think I'm good to sweat it out for another day before a flush, and safe to push the nutes to 1/2 again. I may only have to do one more addition of veg nutes before I...
Hi all,
pH: 6.1
PPM: 940
My PPM took a big jump today. I'll probably do an early nute flush tomorrow night or perhaps Thursday morning. pH is staying relatively stable so I haven't had to adjust it since yesterday afternoon.
Here is a picture. Should I be at all concerned about the leaves...
Thanks, casper! I'm super excited.
Numbers and notes for tonight:
pH: 6.05
PPM: 800
I adjusted my pH down from 6.7 to 5.9 earlier today and it came back up to 6.05 over the next five hours or so. When I was taking my measurements tonight, I noticed my CO2 generator had stopped bubbling...
Hey man, thanks :). I really appreciate it. The most I can do is hope the thread can be informative and entertaining! I'll be getting some experience and optimizing my setup for the first couple grows, so I'm not planning on stopping any time soon. I'd really like to see close to maximum yield...
I did a nute flush tonight and made a tiny error that I'll try to turn into something good. I was planning on using 1/3 strength veg nutes, but instead I accidentally (read: stoned) put in 1/2 strength FloraMicro as my first ingredient. I figured "eh, whatever" (also read: stoned) and decided to...
Thanks electro, I'll keep an eye out for root stress as you say. Your plant is huge though! :P
Measurements for tonight:
pH: 6.1
PPM: 680
My PPM is getting up there again, so I'm set for another nute flush tomorrow night. I'll try 1/3 strength veg nutes this time instead of 1/4. She...
I woke up this morning to find that my plant's second true set of leaves have grown to be nearly the same size as her first true set. Her first set of bushy fan leaves is also developing rapidly. In an effort to get a bit more vertical growth so I can maximize my ScrOG, I moved the plant down to...
Hi everyone,
Again not much to report today. The yeast in my sugar solution still haven't really gotten going yet. I'll give them until tomorrow and then mix up another batch if I still don't see any progress. Here are my measurements:
pH: 6.1
PPM: 650
I'm happy with how stable my pH has been...
Hi all,
Please disregard my weird growth direction question earlier. I'm pretty sure it was all in my head... my leaves aren't really tilting one way more than the other, and the stem is just growing that way because it's the way it popped out of the soil. It really hasn't grown vertically...
I'm using a 3" net pot. I'd definitely recommend a PPM meter! The one I use is HM Digital TDS-4 and I have no complaints so far. I payed $27 for it on Amazon. I wish my pH was as stable as yours :). I've seen fluctuations anywhere in the range of .1 to 1.0 in a 12-hours time period. I guess...
Thanks, electro :).
I just finished a nute flush. I decided to go with 1/4 strength veg nutes this time. The recipe per 2L is 1.3mL FloraMicro, 2mL FloraGro, .66mL FloraBloom. This left me with a PPM of 550 and pH of 5.5 after adjustments. This PPM seems a bit high to start, but I'm fairly...
Hey rasta, thanks for checking out my grow and for the rep! Let me know if you have any questions.
I stopped by the homebrew shop today to pick up some supplies for making a CO2 generator. I got an airlock, a little drilled stopper and a packet of dry champagne yeast. I'll be using an old...
Hey guys -- Quick update here: Five days after germinating, here's what the little girl looks like!
Pretty nice root system going, no? As you can see, her second set of true leaves is starting to develop. I'll keep posting pictures every once in a while, but feel free to follow along!
