Day 7 of 12/12 .
Excitement is flowing.
Another amazon shopping spree last night. digi ph meter, strips got tedious trying to decipher , humidity /temp reader, getting rid of the old outdoor ghetto one lol, jewellers loupe , and going to give that 4 inch ipower filter a try , not too concerned with odor but would like to controll it so you don't smell my house up the block.

Got lucky with this one lol.
Filter arrived and got put up. That was a pain in the ass. Temp jumped from 23 to 27 & got nice a negative pressure, once the clip on comes and airs moving around it shouldn't be bad lol. Turned my light around cause I noticed the right 2 weren't getting as good of light as the ones on the left. Been researching my bulb to see if I can hang it vert without reflector cause the moguls got a hangar on it & I'll free up alot of head room in the tent lol.

Day 14 of 12/12 , did a small trim last night to thin out the bottoms
Gave them their first flower feed 2 nights ago, wife & I were stoned and did our math wrong. So instead of them getting 1/2 strength . they got full and then some lol. Bucket I mix in is about 13L. Fill to about 12 (2l each plant). 3.7l per gallon. So approx 3gals. We did the math for 5 gallons so I've got some burnt tips from that screw up . was about 1700ppm (nearly 700 after just ph down)

Day 18 of 12/12
Watering last night 3L each .
R.o water with cal mag and flora bloom
Had to go back to strips cause my meter needs calibrating (getting distilled water tonight) strip said 7ph. Meter said 5.5 . so had to try and eye the strip to the low 6s lol.
The 2 autos seem to be coming along nicely, short as shit in comparison but the stems are probably thicker than the mysterys lol.

Sad day in the tent, one potential hermie showed its true colours , couple solid bananas came out during lights off. And well its no more.
Wife was happy she was right & even happier she got to examine the roots.
Rest of the crowd has a mag/nitrogen defiency . gave them some feed night before hoping it's turning around, made the mistake of cutting off nitrogen at 12/12 was under the impression it was harmful during flower .
& that's currently biting me in the ass lol.

Im sure your over this but you should be able to take that back without a receipt and get store credit, or If you paid with a credit card they can find it in their system. Idk how that works but it does.
Anyhow thought I’d check out your journal while I’m killing time, make sure your letting that girl in the plastic pot out of the corner once in awhile

I’ve been looking at feed schedules I’d recommend looking at the one for whatever brand you use. But it looks like they most definitely need nitrogen for awhile in flower, makes sense since they double in size before they start to flower.
Here is ff schedule just to give you an idea.https://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/images/pdf/canada-Soil-schedule-ENG_4-2018.pdf
I am basing my grow on the trio formula (green) even though I didn’t buy the big grow I bought the big bloom (not sure why it’s not in the Canadian schedule) and considering tiger bloom. It gets a little confusing because the directions on the bottles are different from the schedule. The directions on the bottle are only if your using the one bottle, the directions on the schedule are for using the trio or duo together at the same times sometimes lol. Seems excessive to me to give a plant a dose of veg and bloom and micros all in one dose at certain parts of the grow, however ff nutes aren’t overly strong with grow big NPK ratio 6-4-4 and tiger bloom is 2-8-4 even their flowering formula has small amounts of nitrogen.
Sorry if I’m confusing you the big bloom I bought is basically an iron supplement with trace amounts of organic nutes 0-0.5-0.7 made from worm castings, bat guano, kelp and something else maybe. For whatever reason it’s not on the Canadian schedule but it’s part of the trio here.

So even though I’m not using there veg nutes I’m using their schedule to get an idea of what the plant needs at what time, and to cut the strength if giving more than one food type.

They were close to a month old when I finally got the money together for nutes, that part I'm defiantly still learning. Tried some 20-20-20 stuff that we used in our outdoor garden and ended up with nute burn (1/4 strength too) so that lead me to the GH trio , they had rave reviews on here for simplicity so figured that was the best option lol. They haven't been given much for feed I've tried being light handed and still ended up with nitrogen tox & a bit of nute burn , so I stopped using the micro (5-0-0) that helped the toxicity , then came under the impression nitrogen was harmful in flower so I cut it off completely & now I'm playing catch up , plus found out my ph pen was out of calibration so that hurt too. Then had to switch to r.o water cause my tap water comes out close to 400ppm with lots of cloramine.
& yeah dumb me didnt save the receipt once it was plugged in and working, I tend to pay cash for everything , but I'll probably use it as a seedling light so it doesn't go to waste

I’ve heard some places started using chloramine and it doesn’t evaporate like chlorine.
Ya that chart seems more confusing to me, so many variations on products out there it makes my head spin sometimes.
Edit
Just looked at it again not so confusing lol looks like you use the trio through the whole grow... to be honest I like the layout of the ff schedule better but I think the GH stuff is more popular now days.
Curious what micros the GH line has in it gonna try to look it up been considering that brand too.

Yeah the chart threw me for a loop at first trying to decipher what stage to use lol. I had water airing out for days and still had a strong chlorine smell & guy At hydro store was telling me how bad the city water was he had it tested sits around 8ph, 400ish ppm & high in chlorine and cloramine , so after learning that I called up culligan and get 3 bottles delivered a month. But now I'm learning how much cal mag / Epsom salts I have to add back since its r.o lol. I honestly feel like I'm back in school with all the info I've had to soak up

Well yesterday afternoon one of the kids either put too much toilet paper or a toy in the toilet. Well that toilet has recently started to run and nobody had used that bathroom for a few hours.
So my basement is now flooded . luckily my tent and ballast didn't get wet. No longer have clean towels & the two giant area rugs had to be hulled up.
my dark period is 9am to 9pm . had to go down with a flash light to close the air flaps & unplug my fan, then pray I had no light leaks to proceed to clean it all up. And now the plumber said 7am and is still not here . we had to turn the water off yesterday afternoon to the whole house. Toilet shut off valve didn't stop the running & it will not unclog .
Had 85% humidity in the tent last night due to this crap. Back down to 45% this morning.
Then no school for kids due to ice, so gotta pay a babysitter And a plumber today on top of the stress of the landlord finding out about my tent .
Think I see a few grey hairs sprouting

Day 26 of 12/12
Ones on the right used to be on the left but they nearly touch the bulb and it can't be raised any further lol.
Autos are coming along nicely one at the fronts got some nice crystally sugar leaves and is fattening up, one behind seems a tad slower but catching up, noticed some calcium defiency spots on the autos, Guessing I'm not using enough cal-mag in the r.o water or they're just hungry buggars .
Still fighting my nitrogen / mag issue but doesn't look as dire as it did earlier in the week.
