Fair play to you man! Soon brought her round :eyesmoke:

It's just funny that you have such a laid back approach :lol:

I hope it continues to look better for you. In a week she should look really nice at this rate. She is growing fast anyway...

Day 10
Res change ppm is 878 ph meter is telling me 7.4 but dont believe it n everything looks good, yea im pretty laid back in veg if i was to stand over it maybe i cud cut a few days from the grow but i think once its still growing dont worry too much about veg. Set up everything for flower thats wat were after anyway. My net is struggling to hold down the main stem its thick and strong and bushy as fuck i might have to start pulling some fan leaves just to see what im doing but dont wana start that till the net is full

Use pH as reference from day to day if you're not using for actual measurement because you don't trust it.
I think you just mixed nutes too high, so I'll give you some advise for you to find the absolute sweet spot of how much food the plant wants for maximum uptake and monster fat nugs. This is what you do, if you feel like it of course, I'm just typing some shit, you still doing good, dont take me wrong way grow brotha.

Check pH just for the reference number one day, and EC.
If the next day the pH has risen, and EC has dropped, you need to raise the EC.
If the pH has dropped and the EC has risen, you need to lower the EC.
If the pH and EC stays the same as the water level drops, you've pretty much found the sweet spot that the plant at that stage in life is asking for.
If the pH rises while the EC stays the same as the water level is dropping, you've found the supreme sweet spot.
= increased uptake, faster growth, bigger more nutritious buds in a shorter time, and perfect leaves.

but it really should be pH'd properly to begin with, with a working trustworthy calibrated pH meter brotha.

pH is best set at 5.4-5.6 in DWC to begin and let it rise to about a max of 6.3 for a complete diet through the pH range before knocking it back down, that is if you were to trust a pH meter and use it. :)

Good Growing. Just tryin to help for ultimate yields and success. It makes me happy. lol cu.

(Waterfarms is all I used to do, a bunch of them connected recirculating ;) Grow F'in TREES! Quickstyle.)

I hear ya bro i tried to balance nutes and water uptake on my pineapple chunk but i also only changed the res 2 or 3 times which i think wasn't enuf. so im guna try do a res change weekly that way i knw its got a full complement of nutes available.

I dont trust my ph meter and i dont have ph up or down so even if it was out of range all i wud do is a res change anyway.

But i agree 100% with you thats the right way to do it! I dont really have the time right now to perfect it. Im still learning will never stop trying different techniques etc for now i just wana get a few purple buds.

I think it was a combo of my lights being on 24/7 for the first few weeks and my extraction fan set to a low speed so i think temps stayed too high n low air exchange. I think the 3 most important things are light, nutes and air flow if you give the plant enuf of each it will thrive.
But the more i grow the better i will get i suppose

Day 19
Not guna tuck anymore just let her go now cleaned out a few leaves at the the bottom it is super dense down there. Im thinking of making a tincture with my pineapple chunk just out of laziness setting up the vaporiser is a bit of a pain n not very portable a few drops under the tongue sounds like the laziest way possible and very discrete, anyone tried it?

I tried a tincture from a dispensary in Co. and I wasn't impressed. But then again I'm sure there are more potent types out there
