Ah, so many things have happened in a short couple days. I sadly have found the she's hermied out, and more than just one or two little nanners. (I think I did say this came from what I believed to be a seed that was from a plant that hermed out alittle and self pollinated itself. Was expecting this, but was really hoping it would happen later, and at a slightly less extent.)
I've pulled off about 15 so far, and decided to go ahead and chop most of the lower growth where it was all happening. Hopefully that will hold it back some and help the colas up top devolp further. Not a big fan of popcorn buds anyway.
Any ideas for all the pop corn buds I cut off? Threw them in a bag. Probably just gonna go in the trash unless i can think of something.
She's looking really nice up top. I havnt seen any pre-seeding so far thankfully. A couple sacs did open up and drop onto lower leaves, but the fan doesnt really blow on the plant, and that's about 2.5 feet above where the sac dropped.
Nothing hermed out up top. Just a bunch of rogue bastards on the lower nodes, and a few commando fuckers hiding inside of female flowers at the very bottom.
Got my TDS meter today, that was definitely a plus with the sadness of the Banner Nanners....
OK, so..
Tap water pH 8.1 ppm 115
Distilled pH 7.0 ppm 0
Nutrient Mix: ppm
Distilled Water 0
+ 5mL CalMag 181
+ *5mL(not 2mL) FN Bloom 856
+ 2mL KoolBloom 894
+ 1mL Floralicious+ 902
+.75mL pH Down 918
So, Roughly an EC of 1.8 and a pH of 5.9 is what I have been feeding at, higher than what I previously thought. Think I will take the FN Bloom down to 4mL.
I fed her tonight with those exact mesaurements, and the run off was a bit surprising. The pH was good at 6.1, but the ppm was pretty high. My pen was reading 1440 ppm, or 2.8 EC.
(I have a HM meter, which Im about 90% sure is the .5 NaCl measurement or whatever. Should just be 2x the ppm for EC)
Not sure if this is salt buildup in the coco since I have been feeding her every watering, or what really. Must be that actually I guess, can't imagine what else.
Should I feed with more run off, or maybe give her some water and just calmag, or possibly FloraKleen? I bought some of that for use in the final flush. Wasnt sure if I would have to flush at all through flower, or if I'd be good giving her feed everytime.
I usualy have about 10-15% run off, but this time I only had about maybe 5%. Just enough to get solid test numbers.
Oh yeah, and with that tap water at 115 I'd proably be just fine using that without calmag. Guess I'll be saving money here very soon. Right? I mean that tap ppm of 115 isnt too bad or...?
