Day: 23
PPM: 570
PH: 7.4
I have to admit, I love update days! Today is something of a double edged sword. She's been looking quite healthy, however, she's also been a bit droopy. I made some changes to the setup yesterday. Cleaning out the pump column, air tubes, drip ring, etc. and re-centering the airstone. I also replaced the reservoir water completely, which I've been doing every four or five days. The fresh water was nuted to 595 PPM, so the fact that PPM is still declining a little while the water level continues to drop makes me think that I could go a little heavier with the nutes. The PH is slightly higher than I was hoping and I was wondering if this may be the reason behind the drooping, but it's not crazy high or anything at 7.4, I think. Any thoughts?
I accidently tore the aluminum foil covering during all of the above, and I may replace it, but for now I thought I'd leave it off and see if the increased airflow helps at all.
I also attempted a little LST testing, though she didn't seem to like the bending. For all the growth that I'm seeing, she's barely stretching. The main stalk is fairly thick and only about 5 to 6 inches high. So I may go without the LST. She is a stocky little indica.
Finally, I've started to contemplate putting down the scrog screen. I'm debating the height at this point (thinking about ten inches) and would appreciate any input.
Cheers!
