Blue Dream SCRoG + Undercurrent DWC + CO2

I had plants that looked similar when I was under-watering and my pH was a little high. (I'm ebb and flow though) Calibrated your pH probe lately?

Yes my PH probe is calibrated monthly and alerts me when it's time to calibrate.

I ended up emptying the reservoir and replacing with fresh R/O water. I think I am overfeeding them. The PPM doubled when I went from the aero cloner to the undercurrent DWC and I don't think they can handle that strength. I will add nutes tomorrow but I want to let them chill in water for tonight.

Sounds good

Bring the nutes on s l o w. What was your EC. or ppm s running at before the flush?
I always keep the ppm s under 700 for the fist 7-10 days out of clone then raise it slowly depending on the strain. I am not very familiar with blue dream.
Is it a blueberry x widow?

Your temps sound fine. Could be a silica deficancy. Maybe get some pro- tekt.

I sure hope the flush helps.

The TDS (EC x 500) was 700 before flush and it is the second week out of the cloner. I have to go downstairs and check it now, but it was TDS 30 last night after I rinsed out the system and filled with fresh R/O water.

Blue Dream is DJ Shorts Blueberry x Haze.

I already had silica in there in the form of H&G Amino Treatment.

Thx

I just checked the tent and the plants still look sad but I think the new growth looks pretty good. I will check again tonight to see how the new growth is doing. By the look and feel of the older leaves I do think I was overfeeding them.

You can always see the changes with the new leaves, I can tell if something is off just by the new nodes.

Check your meter you have a PH issue no doubt!!! Blue Dream never go over 800PPM Cal mag at 5ml per gal

I like it. That's a pretty clever way to buffer your R/O water.

When I saw that I thought..whats the point of r/o if you add back in the shitty tap water?

I guess it is better than pure tap water though.

that and the res stacking. just sit back and let 2 or three of them fill up. enough for ur whole grow plus tea.

if u try to ph r/o water it skyrockets and drops with the smallest amount of ph up or down. the tap water is a buffer for the two.

smart mofos yo. i watched the whole 5 part thing and it was pimp.

I decided to put all of my moms except the Purple Kush into flower in the unused 5x5. A friend came over and helped me set it up with a 600 watt light and a 6" Max-Fan. I am going to take 2 cuttings of each and clone them in the aero cloner. Then I will make new moms in smaller 1 gallon smart pots. The Purple Kush mom is going to veg for another week or so until I can take 14 cuttings from her. Those will go upstairs in a new 4x4 tent with 1000 watt light and a flood and drain setup that we already have.

I was very disappointed in the yield of my last grow so I wont be able to get the chiller and all the accessories right away like I had planned. Not wanting to just have 1 tent up and running, I decided to press the FUCK IT button and try to use all of the equipment currently at my disposal. I will still get the chiller and proceed with my plans but it will take a few more months before I will get there.

The moms I put in the tent are:

• Afghan Kush
• Blue Dream
• Tahoe OG
• Bullrider
• Herojuana

I'd guess they add back tap so they don't have to supplement calcium/magnesium, and to lower the cost of all that R/O water.

Berkman I think you hit it right on, ppm's too high too quick. I bet they bounce right back after 30ppm for awhile and maybe going up around 350ppm over a week or so.

The Blue Dream plants look a lot better, at least the new growth looks good. The older growth is pretty fucked but there is nothing I can do about that now. The roots are also looking better and have new thick white growth as opposed to the shitty thin growth that I previously saw. I am going to keep them in just R/O water for another day before I add nutes back.

once the new growth grows out just cut all that nasty fucked up shit off.

Nice save. Im tuned in.

My thoughts exactly.
