The Hat is back

Day 13
Going to change nutrient today. This is my first full grow with this nutrient and finding it keeps rising in EC for some reason. Never had this with previous nutrient.
Maybe because it has just being cycling for two weeks and not really being used as yet.
Either way toss it out and start with fresh.
Nutrient changed takes all of ten mins unplug and pickup trough empty into a bucket dead easy when there this size.IMG_20210318_064037_3.jpg
 
Day 15 second set of leaves have 5 blades reckon there happy enough.
Though am not happy with this nutrient. Did not notice before cos there were 37 plants sucking the nutes this time only 3 .
Am noticing EC is constantly rising never had this before
Bit of a pain but will get through this okView attachment 4858127

Day17
Signs are showing on the right hand trough where the nutrient was getting too IMG_20210322_085625.jpgfar out and caused a bit of plant damage. There a bit smaller at the mo.
Going to put a timer on the left hand trough to slow it down a bit and allow the other to catch up
 
Day 19 best trough has been on timer for 24 hours will probably be a couple of days for the other to catch up.
plants are getting pumps on for 15 mins every 2 hours

Day 24 back on track took a while to find the problem. 22 days of gently simmering the roots doesn't do them a lot of good anyway there bucking up and growing againIMG_20210329_075807_1.jpg
 
Had a few days off getting over a BP attack and sorting out WTF these plants are playing up.
Found a combination doing it. Boiling the roots and leaving them on full strength nutes.
The boiling had taken them ladder rungs of the roots so they could not pick up the juice.
Dropped the E.C to a remidial 1.6/1.8 an there coming back nicely.
Bitches are all over the place because of this but no worries there back LOL
Another cock up was using 1 inch blocks only LOLthe fookers fall over. So took action to hold them up with some Chinese scaffolding (bamboo canes).
 
Back in the right head again.
Started a bit of defoliation today and changed angle of plant bottom leftas the big mother may smother

Defoliation has started had a bit of a nest in the big plant and the one nearest on the left done a bit of LST on the big one taking the back arm away from the other plant. She will probably get some HST later as she's a tad on the tall side

For those joining a quick update
Currently at defoliation stage right tank is going well left tank is on remidial as I burnt the roots as they got nutrient sensitive after being broiled @26 degrees for four weeks.
In a way it shows you can burn them and still bring them back. Will they yield well? Let's wait and C.

Contrary to the supposed rules I make no PH adjustment. Because there is no need to.
I use a self PH InG nutrient and make no further P.H adjustment just add nutrient to water. Job done.
P.H is around 7 I believe.

Your comments are welcome. Certainly don't mind comments and questions even if others think them stupid inIMG_20210426_063213_2.jpg. But come in and slag off you will be fucked off double lively
 
Today's before and after.
Couldn't seem to load full size. Hopefully the open for you
