I read somewhere that 48 hours of darkness and hitting the roots with ice water with help change leaves autumn colors, at least for strains with the genetics for it. Also supposed to boost trichome production since the plant thinks it's about to die.

Appreciate the advice. That's exactly what I'll do. :) Yeah, I'm really digging rdwc. It appeals to the geeky engineer in me. If I had the space I might try a high pressure aeroponic setup, but definitely happy i went with dwc for my first grow.

Question for you all.... how long do you recommended I flush, and when should i start flushing? Not sure that the prevailing wisdom is for DWC. Critical Kush supposedly finishes in 60 days, which would be 10/7. Also, when do you guys start checking for cloudy/amber trichomes? I've come this far...

I was sceptical too. But I found at least 10 experienced growers who've supercropped this late with only good results. Since I'm more interested in learning than yield, I figured I'd take a risk.

Finally got that oscillating fan installed... Not much growth the last few days. Should I expect the colas to fatten up any more in the last 3 weeks?

For an extemely efficient LED designed to replace a 1000W HPS, check out the HLG 550 V2 Rspec quantum board. I'm running its baby brother in my 2x2 tent.

Great point. Yep, I've had the same issue.

PH hasn't budged since the flush last night, so looks like too much nitrogen was indeed the reason it was dropping. I also said fuck it and broke three more colas. We'll see how it goes...

On second thought, maybe I could leave it at 90 degrees. Couldn't hurt since the damage is already done. I like the idea of blasting the side with direct light. Thoughts?

Well damn. I just broke the biggest cola being an idiot. The skin broke slightly. Taped the wound with duct tape and propped her up. A little late for supercropping or I'd leave it at 90 degrees.

Just spent an about an hour reading up on PH drops in flower. It's super common for PH to start dropping right around week 5 from I can tell. My roots look great, using hydroguard religiously, res temp below 68F, plant is eating and drinking, buds are still fattening up... so I'm pretty sure...

Yep, Hyrdoguard. I also have a bottle of physan 20, but last time I used it I almost killed my plant.

Which enzyme product would you recommend?

Thanks. :)

Good call. I'll add an oscillating fan tomorrow.

PPM is dropping at a slower rate, and the flowers seem to be bulking up quicker. My PPM out of the tap is now 125 so I was lower than I thought. 900 to 870 in two days. PH still wants to fall very fast though. Any idea why? I'm holding it steady at 5.9 by auto dosing diluted silica, but it...

Went with CK for my first grow. Here she is 36 days into flower. 7 gallon RDWC (18 gallons total) in 2x2x4 tent lit with an HLG 135 RSPEC QB. Already sticky and stinky as hell. :) PPM is 900 with GH trio, calmag, silica, and hydroguard. I was seeing some nute burn at anything above that. I...

Hi Growers - I'm hoping you can help me and your fellow growers out. I built an android app that uses the light meter in your smartphone to convert the LUX reading to PPFD. The app will be completely free once it's ready for the app store. The conversion factor used to go from LUX to...

Also, I did read somewhere that this strain (critical kush) prefers slightly lower PPMs. But maybe not quite as low as I've been running.
