Day 17 (flower)

10l water 30 ml A + 30ml B
Cal mag 5ml

pH @ 5.8
EC @ 2.2

Cut more leaves away yesterday because humidity reached 65% and was trapping moisture under canopy. Moved the clip fan down to blow on pots for better air circulation. Moved light down maintaining leaf temps 70-75F.

Can you measure your run-off? I'm curious about what you are getting.

When I feed my LSD plant in coco 1.5-1.8EC@6>pH>5, my run-off is around 3EC±0.5EC@7>pH>6 . My lack of precision with pH is due to using pH paper ranging from 1 to 14, sorry lol. To complicate matters, some of my nutrients do not register correctly with EC because they aren't salts (organic). They might however decompose into salts after a while into the medium.

Day 20 (flower)

Added 5ml Cal-mag to 9L water (helped lower ph) and will water 1L each per day for 3 days

pH @ 5.8
EC @ 0.4

Humidity becoming a problem @65% per watering so thinking of getting a dehumidifier. Bought a dehumidifier egg so will see what impact that has... Moved ducting from extractor fan down so it's just above scrog, hopefully will remove more moisture. :roll:

Day 26 (flower)

9.5l water 36 ml A + 36 ml B (tried to bump pH up to 5.8 but wasn't happening :wall:
10ml cal mag
30ml liquid seaweed

pH @ 5.7
EC @ 2.5

Defoliated again as recommended on grow weed easy as humidity stuck @ 66%. Moved the light to the back of tent to target smaller bud sites and move it forward again tomorrow. Will water half today and again tomorrow to keep RH down. Will flush in 3 days.

@BangPaf I water everyday in smaller amounts if RH too high. Otherwise I wait 2 days and water to runoff. I might be doing things wrong but they seem to be responding well :weed: Especially when I talk to them :lol:

Interesting, I have the opposite problem with RH. I must put a humidifier to get over 30% (doesn't always happen, like today).

Apparently, watering everyday or more often is what "advanced growers" like to do in coco coir. I've heard that you need less medium (smaller pot) to grow the same sized plant you would in peat and that you are "doing it wrong if you don't water everyday". It has to do with the coco's ability to retain more air in the root zone. Seems you're on the right track with the watering lol.

Now that we are done with the small talk, it's time to treat us with some pictures. :mrgreen:

You're getting an impressive number of top buds with your SCROG and everything looks pretty healthy. A far cry from the barbecued state they were in a few months ago. Nice job!

I know :lol:! Cheers guys! I use a laser thermometer to maintain a top temperature of 75F with a good breeze passing over them if that makes any difference.

Hey! I'm also exactly on day 33 of flowering...
Your grow is looking great, I didn't take so much care to set mine into my screen, your screen job does look good and better than mine but now is the time to note how to improve it next time (because there is nothing much else to do - watch and wait)
Cheers!
