I'm feeling very empowered by recent changes in how I feed my plants.

I'm using much less nutrients. I never had heat stress, the only burns were caused by the light physically touching the plants during some movement. What I had, was chemical burn.

What clued me in to this? The fact that my plant was showing signs of Potassium deficiency clued me in on the fact that I had far too much Nitrogen and Phosphorus going into the plant causing both a chemical burn, and Potassium lockout.

I cut my already drastically reduced nutrient regiment from 1/4 recommendation to 1/8 recommendation( meaning what they suggest on the nutrient bottle). I also paid much closer attention to the FLUCTUATION of my water PH.
So, ive started mixing DAILY feedings instead of WEEKLY.

This allows me to give the perfect PH for that day.

The secret to hydroponic wicking, daily feedings.

Pictures later on tonight, once my plants get a bit of todays "sun" (7:11pm-1:11pm is my plants "daytime")

Dont have the exact number. Will post of a picture of what I have been feeding as plus the color scale. I like to call it somewhere sweet between 5 and 6, definitely closer to 6. ((camera is charging))

Here is how I check my PH.
tumblr_m5l087qpe71rsopteo5_1280.jpg

Ideal Hydro PH is 5.5-6.5 according to http://howtogrowmarijuana.com/hydroponic-marijuana-ph
Ive seen other sources say 5.2-6.2. Some say 6.3-6.5. I Basically want to stay on the low end of 6.

I have quite the indoor garden going now.

Looking good! I like how stout your cannabis is, bushy little girl with a thick stem.

Edit: The basil are also looking great

This would be day 16 (at 1am) from sprout. Love how dense this sexy fucking plant is. I honestly wish I could landscape my yard with them.

Day 26

I kept running into issues with my setup, so I made it easier. Transplanted to soil. This is a failed hydro experiment. Learning what not to do can be useful :)

Smell is non existent. I need to get right up on it to smell. Lol. DONT USE DUCT TAPE. Unless your a pro. Need to be careful before leaving the plants alone with lights up on duct tape XD.....Ive made my mistakes.

Cool, i heard it was less stinky compared to many others, but it's also not flowering yet lol. I was joking about the tape, it just looks like theres 5 rolls on your ceiling haha. I once held a completely broken swing arm on a 70cc dirt bike using duct tape..

You started nutes at 15? about how tall is that its hard to tell. Also what made you decide to start then? just curious.

Lol my idiot self decided to start them that soon. This is my first grow, Im doing a shit-ton(technical term) of learning. Im sure it will have an odor when It starts flowering, but it wont be "stank" i would describe it as an herbal, earthy smell.

Oh, wasnt sure if it showed signs of needing something. Yah ive been learning quite a bit already and im not even as far along hah. Even though my plant is 2-3" tall if i get close enough it has a little refreshing smell.
