03/14/2026 Week 10! She looks fantastic. 39" tall now. I'm wondering what's going on with the sugar leaves. They are all super dark and drooping. The rest of the leaves look fine. I don't understand. Readings: pH: 6.35 EC: 1262 TDS: 631 Temp: 65.6° 03/15/2026 Readings: pH: 6.7 EC: 1068 TDS: 546 Temp: 62° I pHed the water. Now I'm letting it mix in with the roots. Which btw are higher up than the basket. I also added a second air stone. I read one of the problems could be lack of oxygen to the roots. That is very possible with the roots being as big as they are. So I added a second air stone. We'll see if it does anything extra. Her buds are nice and plump. There's a bit of clawing still. But not clawing. Some of the top leaves are bowing at the ends, like the theres too much leaf and the whole leaf can't really hold itself up anymore. I dunno. It's really only the big leaves. There's a couple with random claws. BUT, the sugar leaves are all dark green and down turned. It looks exactly like nitrogen toxicity, but I'm not using enough nitrogen for this to happen. And I can't find anything online that makes sense. Everything points to nitrogen toxicity with symptoms, but she's drinking less than eating. Her roots might be too big and she's not getting the oxygen she needs. Hopefully that'll do it. If not, I can try to lower the light intensity, but that's really taking away a whole lot of needed light in the lower canopy. I wish I could super crop the top. But I don't dare do anything like that. It'll stunt her bud production. Her leaf temp at the very top and main cola is at like 72°. From what I read, it's fine. So I don't think there's light stress. The pH has been kinda wonky with this one. That could be it as well. Update: SHIT! My pH pen broke. Gotta buy a new one. Should be here in 2 days. No clue what I'm gonna do in the meantime. I think I have a cheapo one I can use to get an idea of how close the pH is to 5.8 03/16/2026 Readings: pH: broken EC:935 cm TDS: 482 ppm TEMP: 69.2° After top off with nutes. Readings: pH: broken EC: 1038 cm TDS: 521 ppm Temp: 69.6° 03/17/2026 Readings: pH: 6.25 EC: 1075 cm TDS: 535 ppm Temp: 63.3° Readings after top off: pH: 6.03 EC: 1079 cm TDS: 539 ppm Temp: 63 6° Noooo! She's taking in less than nutrients. Is this an official lockout? Who knows. I hope it's not. The. I would need to flush for a day. It's not a huge deal, but I have to pump the water out in order to flush. And I can't get to the very bottom because the roots own it. Whole bucket is roots. So I always end up leaving a gallon in there. The environment is looking good. Not perfect, but good. 45% and 73°. I'd like it to be at 75°, but 73° is fine. It's really dry today and a bit chilly. Ok, it's freezing out. But the AI system adjusted as needed and all I had to do was fill up the humidifier. I shouldn't be running the humidifier at this point at this stage, but as I said, its really dry today. Like 29% dry. Plus it's not like it runs all day. It only runs then the RH drops down to 42%. Then it kicks in, blows around for a minute or 2 and then shuts off again. Barely any humidity needed. She looks great! Nice and tall. Unfortunately I didn't get rid of all the lower branches that just aren't making it. I would remove them now, but I don't want to shock the plant or stress her out in any way. I'll ask around. Maybe I can. They are legit 4 pistils in these lowers. There's quite a few too. I mean, I'll put them to good use. Easy to make concentrate with them. So I can't really complain. Anyway, she has really good color, but there's one leaf that has some rust on it. I looked it up and think it's a magnesium deficiency. So all I need to do is add some cal/mag. So if I have to do a flush, I might add the cal/mag to that water and let her suck up the cal/mag and not be rusty. No clue how much I need, but I'll figure it out. 03/18/2026 Readings: pH: 6.33 EC: 1024 cm TDS: 513 ppm Temp: 61.8° Well, I searched and searched and found absolutely zero sign of male parts. I took a few leaves off here and there. I really want to snip all the little budlets.The ones that don't stand a chance of maturing. But we are already into week 4 of flower. 5 more weeks to go. Anyway, she looks great! Buds are looking super fat. I can't wait til they are nice and fat. Branches are kinda thin, so I'll probably need my trellis net. If I installed my side bars, I would have a lot of space to cover. The environment looks pretty good today. No issues. But it's kinda cold out today and it's seeping in and chilling the buckets. Not a bad thing, but it won't get warm above the canopy. The foliage down below is too thick. So it's hovering around 72°. That's not too bad. It's not 75°, but it is within range. 03/19/2026 Readings: pH: 6.03 EC: 1020 cm TDS: 507 ppm Temp: 65.4° Top off jug readings: pH: 6.13 EC: 1203 cm TDS: 601 ppm Temp: 65.8° After top off readings: pH: 6.03 EC: 1002 cm TDS: 505 ppm Temp: 64.5° She's looking pretty good. The only issue I'm running into is new growth being nitrogen toxified. No clue how it's happening. I. Not using nitrogen. Well, cal/mag has nitrogen. And so does the base bloom. Other than that, she looks fantastic. Big buds. Gonna have a great time seeing how big they get. Hopefully we get some golfball sized buds. That'd be cool. The environment is perfectly fine. However, I'm very concerned with the light distance. It's like 6.5" from the canopy and I can't lift it any higher. I was considering takingrh event fan out, but there's no way I'll be able to do it without crushing the plants. Maybe next run, I'll remember to only use the filter centered in the tent. That should work out swimmingly. But not this run. And if I turn the light down anymore, it won't get through the canopy. I need a bigger tent. 03/20/2026 Everything looks good today. I have to check the readings, but that's about it. I plucked couple leaves here and there to bring more light to the other tops and deeper into the canopy. The environment is pretty good too. Annoyingly the inline fan is running full blast now. And there's no need for it. Good color, nice fat buds. Tall colas. Smell isn't there yet, but I'm expecting that any day now.
