All good observations! As mentioned about this is all normal. Kinda cool isn't it.

You can get a cheap ppm pen just like your pH pen. Generally I run my pH in soil from 5.5 to 6.5. When I test my run off and the pH is starting to climb I use 5.5. If it's starting to decend I use 6.5. If it's staying the same I'll do 6. I've found it's best to cover a range. I'm anal...

Could not have said it better myself.

I do a week to 10 days on a resivoir change. 10 days in the beginning of the grow and maybe even every 6 days at the end. Just depends how fast they are eating. As long as you are running a clean resivoir (no beneficial microbes) good aeration, algi prevention and a chiller you could get by...

I hope you have to support all your buds by the end!!

Three weeks give or take for how I like it. Patience pays of in density and overall yield. You got to remember that those buds are mostly water. So to get a nice dense bud with good bag appeal after dry-down they need to be quite large and hard when you squeeze them. Cannabis goes through a...

I use both to achieve the best yield. All in one way or the other is just fine and definitely doable. The magic happens when you fully understand the features and benefits of both. Then you can take a synergistic approach to things. Each has their place and one is not better than the other.

No need to be embarrassed, we all here to learn. Ppm stands for parts per million. It is a unit of measurement for all the dissolved solids (nutrients) in the water. When you look at fertilizer feeding schedule it is generally given in ppm. You will probably want to get a decent...

Ocean and forest is in my soil blend as well.

A couple things I use to super charge my brew are chitosan oligosaccharide and insect frass. I add this to the tea just before the middle of the reproductive cycle. I wait until the buds have established them selves. At this time the plants are well into flower and ready to put on some...

I would guess you have multiple issues going on. I think your plants were overly wet for an extended amount of time, that's one issue. They were never watered to run off so things may have accumulated in the soil. The plants look deficent as well. I'm not sure if that is because the pH is...

You are correct, the Fox Farm Big Bloom is an organic fertilizer that is available to the plant immediately. When you look at the label on a fertilizer there will be three numbers telling you the ratios of macro nutrients Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium (N-P-K) In this case they are (0-.5-.7)...

Nice setup!! I've never done rdwc I built a system a year ago, about the time I switched over to soil. Are you running a chiller to keep your water temperature down?

Thats hilarious! Thank god I'm just a touch too old to be a Millennial...not by much.

Loling...this one does. Been doing it for years!!

Waiting for organics to be mineralized can be frustrating. Especially when you're trying to fix a problem immediately. This is exactly why I use the hybrid method I layed out earlier. My advice is use some salt fertilizers (available to the plant to utilize immediately)to get things green...

Like said above your plant your choice. When I started growing I harvested plants at different levels of maturity to see the difference. Over time I realized if in doubt it's better to wait. Now I wait until the plant has a certainly look like mentioned above. It's almost a white plasticity...

Absolutely. I do it all the time. I would not suggest doing 70% humidity on day one or two of drying. I am also pulling 900 cfm though my 3x3 drying tent when at 70% humidity. As the humidity goes down I turn the airflow down as well. I would much rater dry and cure at 60% humidity but...

No problem. One other quick thought. Use more butter than you want for the end product. In the batch I made today I started with 10 stick in (5 cups) of butter. After loosing some to after clarifying the butter ( good idea) and l the weed absorbing some I ended up with 6 sticks (3 cups) of...

I agree either lacking potassium or phosphorus. Either way supplementing with mpk will fix things.
