Edit: fixed the exposure on the previous pic

Not this run. This is my baseline run, so no topping, mainlining or scrog this time.

Once I get better acquainted with these two cultivars we'll see what happens and what adjustments need to be made to hit my 2 lbs goal.

I guess you need to start somewhere.

Week 3 of veg begins, things are going good, despite high res temps and some fungus/mold in my airlines. I already ordered new light proof hoses and better airstones. I'm also going to try and insulate my buckets to get the temps down to below 68° consistently. I was hoping I wouldnt have to but should have known better.

I did a mold check with my black light, no sign of mold nor bugs on the plants but my air hoses lit up like vegas. I will replace them this weekend.

I reduced this weeks nutrients by half due to the bit of burn from last week's solution. I will continue to monitor ph and ppm.

All the plants look great and besides the issues already mentioned, its been good so far.

Im already looking forward to flowering these ladies. Im thinking 3 or 4 more weeks.

Weekly pic dump below, including all notes.

Any noticeable change since you made your adjustments?

Hey NS,

I havent been able to implement all the changes yet, according to amazon the air lines will be delivered today as well as a product called watermax. My plan of attack is to insulate the buckets and replace the air lines and stones and then flush using watermax and follow up with a rez change out using ro instead of well water.

Allegedly watermax is the bees knees when dealing with pythium, it also breaks up scale and calcium deposits, I've never used, just going off of a suggestion.

The girls still look good despite everything, maybe not as vigorous as they could be but no further nutrient burn or outward signs of stress.

Hey all,

My update is late and lacking this week. I am out of town and the lady is watching the garden.

Last weekend I installed the RO system, lightproofed the reservoirs, replaced the airlines and airstones. I did a res change and nutrients were added, ppm was 550, ph was buffered to 5.8

Blood diamond 1 and 2 as well as dogwalker 2 responded well with vigorous growth. Dogwalker 1 is showing serious issues. I also noticed that dw2, bd 1 & 2 all seem droopy. Not wilted but droopy.

They are getting to a point that I'll need to throw them into flower soon but I really want to get everyone healthy before I do.



Im getting frustrated trying to figure things out but I will keep working at it.
