I was given a cloned Sasquatch plant as a gift.
600w sodium, e-ballast, 12/12 light, 4x4 tent, 73 degrees tent temp, cooled hood with carbon filter.
It was very healthy looking and at the end of the veg cycle. I'm doing a 5 gallon dwc with 3.5 gal nute water.
It's the typical hydroton pebble basket with red bull sized air stone. I've done this before but had root rot issues because of Rez temperatures too high. This time they are about 64F.
I'm using the simple general hydro flora trio and hydro guard to prevent root rot.
I was using equal parts of the trio at 1.2 ec at the start of flower, then on 3rd week flower I switched it to;
4 tsp micro, 2.5 tsp grow and 5.25 tsp bloom
Then ph'd to 6.1
This gives me an ec of about 1.5 using my truncheon meter
After 2 days my water level is about 1.5 gallons down (which is good) but ph has fallen to 4.4 already and ec has stayed about the same (1.4)
I'll add that after 2 weeks of 12/12 light, only a few hairs have grown at the various budding locations.
I have read that Sasquatch is a slow grower so maybe slow to start the flower process too.
Not overly concerned about that just yet, but the falling ph has me worried.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
