My apologies!
Not using sonoff but tp link smart switches at the moment. The problems I had looks to be more on the nutrients side so I put my smart switches back and am monitoring the thing. I'm waiting for a my Sonoff 4ch pro to arrive so I can clean up the cable mess in the tent and get less wifi sygnals flying around me. I still think its not the healthiest for plant (especialy young ones) or people.Hey T-Time!
Are the "Wlan problems" with only one Sonoff disappeared? I planned to use two for my new lamp(1x dual for main und UV lights + a single for a IR flower trigger), but if I see that you have problems with it, maybe I should re-think it again. Do you mean a single Sonoff is okay?
BTW,
nice lookin tent! Plants look better this time!
The "fast girl" is maybe a "fast version" or an "automatic" has made it into the wrong badge.
yo. not really anymore...maybe a bit of ph down in veg as id want it around 5.8 and it normally comes out at 6 to 6.1.You don't even add any ph up/down Lukio ?
Nope. Taking baby steps here. My ladies werent 100% so I played it safe. Next time I'll might try to go a bit more aggresive.thats not near naked..carry on!
Remember, the more runoff you have, the more dilute the nutrient inside the pot. So if watering 6x a day is producing a lot of runoff, you're actually flushing out a lot of nutrient. The trick is, if you are going to water multiple times a day, you either have minimal runoff each time, or you need to increase nutrient strength. By my calculations, you probably want close to 6ml per litre of combined nutrient if you are going to use the GHE formula you've been using. That 18ml per gallon I suggested works out about 5ml per litre, so even though it's more than you're currently feeding, it's still not a hot dose. Your mileage may vary depending on strain, stage of growth and environment!Thanks Prawn. I'll try that today and see how they will react.
They are now getting fed 6 times a day. They are thirsty but I might reduce that since there will be less transpiration with all of those leaves gone.
Top has nearly no run off. Bottom row has more. Since I've added no return valve on the feed line the balance I've setup at the start went a bit off and I have to readjust it. But even taking that into consideration the runoff is about 10% on the bottom with 6 waterings a day. I'll doublr check it tmrw as I'll have more time then.Remember, the more runoff you have, the more dilute the nutrient inside the pot.

Maybe I'll try that in the future but now I have different things to diall in first. But yeah... thats scarry stuff.good start..
..i wish i had time to defoliate more...because i would
the real defoliate..is the "pistilwhipt" method..now thats scary..
The tip burn doesn't look too bad, though I'm only going by your photos and can't see the leaves in real life. However, the GHE Micro has no phosphorous and much more nitrogen, so I'm thinking it should do the trick. I'm not sure if you have any GHE Gro, but to be fair the GHE feed chart does say to use it throughout and I can see why, as it also has a higher N-P ratio with a little more magnesium. If you're not getting great results using only two parts of a three-part nutrient, then that's probably why . . .Top has nearly no run off. Bottom row has more.

I addad micro so its as You've suggested and it came to 2.2ml of solution each and 4.4ml total.
I rather add some later if need be. I'm a bit concernet with those burned tips and want to see first how plants will react to changed ratio. Will adjust the strenght from there.
I really appraciate Your help here
Ladies didn't mind defol and looking as before. Chronic pushing strong and stretching in praying pose and N.Lights a bit wilted with slight nute burn but gaining bulk. Both a bit of the lighter side of the green. Hard to tell from the photos.
Some shots from today.

And solution before and after adding more micro.
That came to EC of about 1.26 before and 1.54 after.

Quick note. I've stopped getting the PH drift after coming back to old rutine of leaving the water for 48h+ before the mixing. Stopped using pond zyme as well as I don't think its necessary anymore.
Maybe I'll try that in the future but now I have different things to diall in first. But yeah... thats scarry stuff.
It all looks great T. One thing i don't like though is the leafs on the floor, should change that habit and put them into a bucket. Should you ever get bugs and not know, they will be all over the place after defoliating like that.Did try defoliation today. It's first time I took so many leaves and left girls so naked, but i think I'm starting to get it. Still a bit conservative when it comes to limiting number of branches but I'll get there
All the plants are slightly N defficient and are at different stages of flower. Hopefully when my bag of MegaCrop arrives soon defficiency will be sorted .
Two Chronics ( upper level on the left ) didn't started to flower yet and will be defoliated again in a week or two. Northern Lights (the rest) are between week 2-3 of flower depending on where You look and will be maybe defoliated in .... well don't know really when the leaves will grow back

Nice healthy roots coming out the bottom

Once again the tent wont be fully filled and that ruins my zen
Thanks mate. I will keep that in mind when doing it next time. I try to keep the place as tidy as I can to keep bugs at bay, but you never know...It all looks great T.

Keep up the great post
