Hmm. Keep lowering it to 5.8 once per day and if the problem persists I would do a full res change and clean out with clearex.

I ded a res change but i didnt clean the res. Pain in the ass. It buffered to 5.3 after i added hygrozyme i raised it to 5.8. Retarded trimeter i had is on the way back to ca because it was garbage. Nutradip trimeter on the way now. Just used a pen. Cheap ass ppm meter wasnt working so idk what. That is. Early flower on holland secret bottle. Hoping it comes down to stay at 6.0ish i really only added down to get it to 5.8 once and next day 6.8. I added some tap the first time because i had to have water and couldnt wait on the ro.

Yield has many variables. My last harvest I had a plant with 1.5 oz and one with more than 9 oz. Variables include genetics, training of your plants, veg time, and more.

Well rooted established in net pots pre putting them in the rails. I potted them and let the roots start coming out good. Then str8 to flower. Here are todays pics after 2nd round of lollie popping. The one of the table is yesterdays actually and the roots today

Def worth throwing down a few bucks on a nice meter, sound like you figured that out on your own.

looking good. FYI if your camera has an adjustable white balance setting you can adjust that and your pics will not turn out all orange like that.

After res change we had 5.7 ph i added5 caps of up and brought it to 6.2 it is now at 6.1 seems stable from last night to today. What dod i do differen got a nutradip tri meter for 1, didnt use any tap water, mixed nutrient to early flower on bottle, ppm says 1700 + but i think ots wrong i nee Calibration solution for ppm but thays not the main concern as the ph and temp which is 63 pumping nutrient straight thru my chiller works like a charm. I also raised my drains to half way and pointe . The laser sprayers down into the nutrient to creat major bubbles which in turn brings major DO into the nitrient

5.8 is optimal ph in my opinion. I don't touch it if its between 5.6 and 6.0 cause thats close enough... YOur ph is gonna fluxuate by a few points all the time.

Gradual increase in ph day by day. Its now at 6.2, once it hits 6.5 i will bring it back down to 5.5 and repeat not only staying in the correct range but aiming to hit each day by day.
Ya since it seems like thats what its wanting to do anyway. I have read some sbout that being good to do, were about to find out.
The roots are white but there is almost a tannish tinge to some. Not sure if its just because of nutrient maybe hygrozyme is the color. Holland secret is a pale yellow color when mixed with cali magic so i really dont think that is the case. Hoping my pump failure isnt to blame.... need to start taking better pix with better camera. Another round of lollie popping. I like to keep minimal branching because i feel the bigger the branch being cut the more stress u will get. Idk just how i have always done it.


Oh almost forgot. Possible HERMIE the place im set up didnt kniw any better and when the ac started making a noise he opend the door to inspect with an amber colored flash light. Ugh. Noticed on one strain couple different sites. I could be paranoid but let me know what 20160226_213319494.jpg 20160226_213323439.jpg 20160226_213330739.jpg u think
IS IT A HERMIE?
IS IT NOT A HERMIE?
