kk, well timer has been flipped, res changed with flower nutes...

ph: 5.85
ec: 1.3
res temp: 66.9
tent temp: 79F


had to make another bubble cloner as i did not pay attention when i bought the last tote... the latches are in place with holes, and it was leaking, so i bought a rubbermaid, and sorted it out:

clones are livin, EC dropped to 1.0, and ph rose to 6.0... g/f raised ec back to 1.3, and ph'd to 5.8... clones are doing fine, have some lighter leaves on my flowering plants starting off so upped the level of N, i will be home in a couple days, and i think sunday im gonna push the ec to 1.5... other than that everything is going well, plants are still blowing up... sorry no pics today...

also, can notice the huge difference between using coolers, and using rubbermaid totes... temp swings a lot.

plants are drinking and eatin like crazy, but things are staying easy to maintain balance.... one of the clones showed a little bit of a root poking off, i take this as a good sign of good stuff to come from the clones... my girl said the plants are still getting big, and she should be taking some pics tomorrow...

well, fast update cause there is work to be done still... came home and inspected some small holes in leaves to find i have spider mites, and there is a bunch of eggs... i went and purchased hot shots pest strip under the recommendation of a friend, my scrog is real real dense, so i figured its the best way... moving bed to second bedroom, but i dont think the vapors will escape tent... gonna pick up some neem oil as well... also, trimmed understand of half of the scrog today, hope it didnt hurt the plants too much, but i figured it would be easier to control the problem if i got rid of the leaves my plant didnt necessarily need, and plant on trimming the other half tomorrow... there is mite eggs on my clones as well, which are rooting, but im not sure how i am going to tackle them...

Azamax!!!!! Used as a soil drench and foliar spray..... You can apply right up till harvest....and I just used it on my clones(well rooted in 1gal containers) for fungus gnats with no problems yet.

im using gardensafe fungicid3, which is a miticide, fungicide, and insecticide all in one, fights all sorts of shit, is organic (i believe), and can be used up until harvest...

i removed the hot shots pest strip, and drenched the fuck outta my plants with gardensafe...finished pruning the underside of the scrog, plants are lookin good so far, cept for the mites...

edited to add:
im growin in dwc, dont need to drench any soil lol...

my girl said the plants are growing as usual, but she didnt really inspect the mites, shes quite busy right now... started foliar feeding clones with rhizotonic. tomorrow she will be inspecting the plants for spider mite activity, i just ordered a doktor doom fogger and knockout spray just in case we need it... i really did soak the shit out of the plants with that garden safe so im hopin it beat them back a bit. if anyone has any experience with the doktor doom foggers, please let me know how it worked out for you, or anything else important... i also have some azamax that i picked up about a month ago when the hydro store was having their 27 year anniversary, but didnt want to mix it or try i out until i know how effective the garden safe is... also if the fogger works well i'd like to use those because of their ease of use. though it seems like it recommends spraying the underside first, so im not sure how much fog would come in contact with the undersides...

tent:
ph: 5.9
ppm: 850
res temp: 65.6F
tent temp: 76F
rh: 49

clone room:
ph: 5.6
ppm: 110
res temp 74F (am letting it go down in temp until we get to 68 since roots have started)
room temp: 79F
humidity: 45-75% depending on if just misted

btw, my clones are doin their thing, roots are growing and it seems like whatever the issue was with the clear stuff it was not fungus... it is completely cleared up, i think it was just the rhizotonic maybe, i must have cooked it with the hot water or something... either way, i didnt use a humidity dome, and apart from two clones that have a leaf a piece with some slight burning or something at the tip they are all deep green and looking good... lol i even left them for 36 hours unattended when i went up north, came back and the res was @69F and they were looking a little droopy, plus thats when the yellow developed... kinda had me shook for a minute, but they were fine =-D

thanks!

well, she had inspected the leaves after using the gardensafe fungicid3 (which i found out from my homeboy was a low concentrate of it because he dropped it off when my clones were still very young) and found that the mites werent affected... today she went over the plants with azamax, and that shit killed em quick... she went back and sprayed where she noticed some were still alive, and over the next few days she will be checking... anyways, everything is seeming to be cool:

flower tent:
ph: 5.9
ec: 1.2
res temp: 64F (kinda wondering if the temp being in 63-64 range will effect my plants much)

clone room:
pretty much the same as before

the plants are drinking shit tons of water and taking in nutes like crazy, id really like to push the amount im feeding em up, but i dont want to stress out my g/f too much... anyways here is some pics i had her take, to show the pruning i did (of which she didnt really take the pic from far enough distance back), also the stupid thick ass trunk that mangled the netpot lid lol...
