Do you have a way to check your Rez temp? Because that would tell us the problem for sure, but I'm about 98% sure it's a DO issue now that the plants are going into the stretch full swing and growing hard. With no real chilling in the Rez, even with that bottle outside... I reckon it only takes 4 gallons of water about an hour or 2 to become the same temp as the ambient temp of the room. So 75-80f water all the most of the time.

My PPM meter has a thermometer on it as well. I can use that to check the res temps.

Also, you said you are 98% sure it's a DO issue...what does that mean?

 

[applejuicer10]

It means I'm very certain it's an issue with water temp and dissolved oxygen (DO). And as far so being 98% sure, without being in the grow room I can never be 100% sure of issues.

You got an updated picture of that growth that wasn't looking right?

Yes. The leaves are still curled down and twisted a bit. But she looks like she's improving.

 

[applejuicer10]

you look good man! they arent dark so it rules out N toxicity, looks like it was a temp thing. I see you insulated the rez, good choice my man. i would do some defoliation pretty soon on that sucker myself to make sure all those tops get even light exposure, you dont want some falling behind like my grow lol. HUUUUUGE pain in the ass to get light to them now (6.5wks in flower).
overall its looking like its on the mend and growing its little heart out

Week 8 Update (1 week into flower)

Her leaves are definitely recovering from the previous crisis! The curling and twisting is almost gone. It was definitely a res temp problem.



I did my last little tucks today. My screen is pretty much full. I also decided to mix in a small dose of bloom nutes yesterday. She seems to be liking it!





I also started to see the first pistols this week! Check it out below.

lookin good man, glad to hear the temp solved things for you if you have any sort of pk booster or 13/14 type of product, this week is the week to use them!

 

[joey.bagadonuts]

I did some more lollipopping today. That should be it as far as scrog maintenance. I'm very excited to sit back, relax, and watch the buds grow!

 

[applejuicer10]

lookin good my friend, keep an eye out on the under area because it has a way of bouncing back abd growing bullshit buds you didnt notice lol!

Week 9 Update (2 weeks into flower)

She has been stretching nicely over the past week. The growth is a little uneven but it's all good. I don't anticipate any problems.



I am counting over 30 bud sites!!!



Each one is getting pistols and starting to form pre-flowers.

I had forgotten all about your thread since my last post here I've harvested & bought a led & learned a wee bit ill have to go back & study your thread more in depth but you're moving forward & learning as you go hands on is best I think

I finally caught up with you... what is your ppm..ph..I think I see a slight nute proplem..
Little too much N. maybe..

 

[atrumblood]

Looking good man. If my clones would ever fucking root, I would be starting mine.

 

[joey.bagadonuts]

I finally caught up with you... what is your ppm..ph..I think I see a slight nute proplem..

About 700PPM and 5.5-6 pH.

 

[HydoDan]

About 700PPM and 5.5-6 pH.

Right where they should be..

Week 10 Update (3 weeks into flower)

My PPM has been rising. It went from 700 to 1000 in a few days.

Does this mean I'm over feeeding? I honestly have not used many nutes at all. Maybe 1/4 of whats called for on the directions. My tap water is about 300-350PPM on its own so I normally just give cold tap water.

Also, my pH has slowly been lowering. It was down to 4.0pH this morning. I added more tap water and raised it back to around 5.5pH. What does this mean?

Anyway, she is looking pretty good today. Lots of vertical growth. The leaves are very crowded but I've decided not to defoliate.






All the colas are forming nice little buds now. The leaves are starting to get sticky and even a bit frosty





Below is my tallest cola. It's about 8" above the screen!



Temps are around 79F in the tent. I am still putting frozen water bottles inside the res and around it. Humidity is 40%.

For size reference, my stem is about the size of a standard lighter.



Until next time my friends!
