After pythium problems, and a smidgen of heat-stress - she's coming on nicely at 5/6 weeks. The root-rot drove the pH up far too much, I got lock-out, and then deficiencies. The burn in the pics is from that period in her life. It was a major disaster that was narrowly avoided by the skin of my teeth. The pythium is still present in the system, but i'm keeping it at bay with daily treatments of h2o2, frozen soda bottles, and extra airstones. Hoping that the yield won't suffer too much.....
Waiting patiently for the main cola to fatten up though. The fan leaves are just starting to turn yellow, so i'm expecting the buds to fatten up over the next couple of weeks, but I've been told that it's not really until the last 3 weeks that she'll really pack on the beef.... we'll see...
She's also a
really light feeder - the EC has not went above 1.0 for the duration of the grow. Well, it did, but she didn't like it. Course, she's in a bubbler as well, and EC values will be lower anyway.
