Those roots look great. But looking at the feed lines you may very well have problems with them getting clogged up. Hope not. They (seedlings) look great. Will be watching this.

45 days since germination update…

R/O using cropsalt at their set feeding schedule since the day they were put into RDWC. No big swings in ph/ec/ppm. W/runclean and bleach/hocl while tracking Orp (usually around low 200’s without help, and we only add if we have a slight scent or it dips below 200). Foliar spray Dune w/transport at rec strength once per week.

Averaging .8 vpd in low to low/mid 70’s. Up until a couple of days ago. Brought up to .9 to 1.0 vpd yesterday in mid to upper/mid 70’s.

Both are manifolded and mainlined.

Thank you! They’re fishing weights we got off amazon, acrylic broken link chain we had laying around and some hooks we cut. They work pretty well!

Damn, just got done watering my plants this morning…then came here. Your tent looks like a clean room compared to mine lol. They are looking stellar!

Would you happen to have a link to the fishing weight page on Amazon? I’m a fisherman too. Those look perfect for the riff rap under the spillways at the Lock and Dam in Alton IL. Go catch me some Blue cat before winter.

Thanks so much for the link !!

WAY to rich for my blood lol. The mighty Mississippi below the locks and dams was filled in with huge limestone boulders to stop erosion, it eats weights quick, can’t do $2.30 every 5 minutes…but it was a nice thought lol. Guess I will stick with the cheap cast lead weights.

Yeah! No worries!

Sounds like good fishing, but I wouldn’t either it would get pricey quick with them getting eatten non stop.

We’re really contemplating doing a borderline schwazzing on these ones! They’re both African x Princess 88 by Blimburn (cross between and “african durban area” land lace strain and jack herer). Does anyone have any background in schwazzing? Does this strain respond well?

Day 16 of stretch and things are getting a little out of hand lol… It is so hard not to defoliate now but we’re aiming to follow the schwazzing technique as close as possible and we’re holding tight until day 20!

Day 20 heavy defol (couldn’t quite bring ourselves to dedicate to schwazzing just yet but may trim some more), put in SCROG netting and lollipopped. Will check in a couple hrs to see how they’re doing.

Day 21 into flower…

Gotta say that we’re loving CropSalt in comparison to what we were running before (super simple mixing, we’ve had a lot of stability in our ph +/-0.15 pts, stability in our ec too +/- 1.5 pts, clean and clear water as well)…

Bouncing back great from the heavy heavy defol…

Question are you following crop salts chart, they advocate running hotter than most nutrients.

Thanks

We were following cropsalts chart. Through veg it did really well. Into flower good as well. Running all off of memory i believe we were very very stable at 2.0 ec and the ph stayed where we wanted it.

We fu*ked up at the end and switched to flush 1 week early… We didn’t realize until a week later and they started having ph issues… we doubled down in an act of stupidity and started dropping temps to try and get color… From there we had them go a lityle bit hermie… lol They still turned out really good just a few seeds…

We called cropsalt and they were really helpful and had excellent customer service.

Up until our own error Cropsalt ran really well and clean. We are running it again with a couple autos and we’ll be chasing ec on this one (wish us luck lol).

On this one we used Cropsalt, runclean, bleach/hocl with daily orp checks and dune foliar.

Well those are some dank looking buds for sure! Thanks for the input on the CropSalts. So what you are saying is that you started the cake a week early? Sure doesn’t seem like that would have much effect only being a week.

Thank you and you’re welcome. We definitely like cropsalt.

Yeah… we ran a three week flush on them :grimacing:. Could have been genetics or the additional stress we put them through. Really not 100% sure if thats what caused it, but we did kinda put unplanned stress on them trying to chase color. So maybe :thinking: still really new to the game. Whatever we did or happened it wasnt liked lol. This time we’re going to run a much tighter ship environmentally and schedule wise.
