Abe's Up A Tree Stealth Grow

[Greenvein]

No i only use a slightly heaped 1/4 teaspoon scoop just the one for 3 ltrs of water .
I feel you might be ok at that mix but being in coco and perlite mix you may want to increase it a little ,not much id probably run it at 650ppm .
Some people may run things higher but i find plants will drink more if they want it instead of locking up from a high mix or build up of salts .

Safe place to start if your able to check run off ppm you will see if she needs more or less only in Coco coir though. Most other stuff holds nutrients. I check mine once a week but don't use MC @Stumped

What do you get Ph wise at run off, GV? Not checked mine in a year+ but it was in at 5.8, out at about 4.8 I think.

Veg was always in at 5.8 out at 6.2 upwards
Flower was in at 6.2 out at 4.0
After I started inoculating (EM1 & MYCO)
Veg was thes same in at 5.8 out at 6.2 upwards
Flower was 5.8 in and 5.6 out

This round I have added some organic dry amendments at each up pot with MYCO it contains alot of beneficials. Also I will be feeding with carbs in attempt to keep them boosted and feed PH will be back to 6.2 in flower.

 

[NickHardy]

Ok, that's interesting

Flower was in at 6.2 out at 4.0

That's about us, from last time I checked and 100% sure was in flower, with Myco. Veg less sure - but our mix comes out at 6.3 and I was surprised when it was coming out same/higher in Veg

So what's the EM1 stuff!

We run lower now in late flower, don't mind a 5.6 or even 5.5 in - feel like it helps the P/K uptake.

EM1 Is a small group of beneficial microbes. Also called lactic acid bacteria (LAB) great for decomposition.. I used this because you can make it at home so it was a bit of fun too

I find that if your PH is low you really have to feed your plants... You not so bad because your pots are large for plant size but for me smaller pots plants will get stressed and be demanding.

In as short as possible I think the PH drop is from plant poo from when pistils start shooting the plant will start a pushing alot more acids and sugars to the soil.. if your microbial life is low then your PH will stay low as they cant work through it fast enough. Boosting the microbes they will keep your root zone in check. Not just PH but they will work with MYCO for that nutrient uptake so you just simply don't have to worry about PH anymore.

This is my theory though so could be wrong. Not sure if you got clones to run but maybe try a side by side and see if it makes any difference. Just hand feed one a boost a few times in flower.

TYVM for that. I'll have a read around it tomorrow, appreciated.

Powering along

May as well get your net and nails out so you can scrog her on those branches above still no signs?

Yea she's starting to have a little stretch so i dont think she is far off flowering

 

[Porky82]

You sure it's an auto?

 

[-maui-]

In my experience with random auto strains you can never be sure at all. I got drawf plants, decent automatics and full on photoperiod all in one pack...like a box of chocolates

Thats what herbies seeds told me , it does look like its going to flower very soon tho .

 

[NickHardy]

What I've been saying!

In my experience with random auto strains you can never be sure at all. I got dwarf plants, decent automatics and full on photoperiod all in one pack...like a box of chocolates

I only ever had Dwarf Autos

I reckon by this coming Monday latest budlets though.

Yea its definately starting to flower

Lucky you this one is not a drawf version! Your grow rocks, will be exiting 10 weeks now

Yea i have a friend that only grows auto's and he said to make a note of where it was from because its a good one to keep a record of being that it vegged for so long .
Should be a good size when done
