Sound good mate, im sure they will green up quickly, if you need to top up the EC over the week thou, add some more A&B, as we are kind of covering ourselves, incase it isnt cal/mag related, which 99% of the time it isnt.

The newer growth was looking healthy thou, so i suspect its more likely a little lack of nitrogen rather than cal/mag thou. As I mentioned in my diary before, one of the downsides with the way we feed in coco is your kind of keeping them on the edge of hungry, which means sometimes they are more hungrier than others and just require that extra boost :)

This is generally why you see me add the humic acid and the kelp every 3rd res change, as this gives the plants a boost of the trace elements that are not contained in base nutreints :)

Alright, just a little note to say we have some additional additives to work with now



I believe it's every 3rd rez to add these in. So by my count that will be Monday rez

I'll await for volumes to use

Rez I'm currently only filling to 20l as that does them atleast 4 days before needing to be topped up atm

Ahh nice one mate :)

These and the amino acids are my general RAW nutrients that I defintely use when growing. I have a few others that I use but generally only when they need it :)

In 50 litres I usually add a tsp of each, so I would say your looking at just a smidgen under 1/2 tsp for 20 litres.

This will green tem up quicker than anything, and with around 35 trace elements you find if it was maybe something else besides N or Cal/mag, this sorts them out anyways :)

Also fella, I forgot to mention, this stuff is really concentrated, so its usually better if you dissolve both into a jug of water, then add it to your reservoir rather than sprinkling it directly in res.

If you sprinkle it just wont mix properly :)

Sorry, been terrible student. I'll try keep more update buddy



So after the branch I snapped off I've been working to get the canopy level with 3 main branches

I've got and topped the leading 3 heads now and and just pinching and pulling them down to encourage them out

Nodes are staggered so she is ripe. We had pistils too but ya can't see em in the pic



So question of training; Do I start thinking the lower stuff to focus on say, 6 main tops? Or just keep working it out till it's rammo? Only I think I've over crowded my front gelato by keeping everything

Hi Gmo,

Looking good fella, she is looking a good colour :)

Training wise fella, all I I usually do is try and get the canopy as even as possible and try and work the bigger, taller braches to the edge of the pot, that way the light can get down below and the lower stuff can grow up the middle :)

Hope y9ur having a good weekend fella!

Looking nice and healthy. I usually remove them two big fan leaves but that's just me..or tuck them :D they hide so much of the lower growth sometimes. You two are doing great job ..apart from GMO being clumsy breaking branches :lol:

Just a flash update

Rez change today

1ml A+B per L to 20l rez and just half a teaspoon amino acid

PH set really low at 5.4 (I broke my syringe so that where it had to stay) I added 15ml silicone to bring it back up to that before the syringe broke

And I beat the crap outta her

Plants are really intertwined atm but 2-3 days and they go into the 1.2x1.2 on the Wilma large (75x75 4 pot 50l rez) and be spaced out a lot nicer
