  1. imo, just top off and dilute a bit with ph'd water. bring it to around 280-300 and see if it rises or falls. odd are it will not move drastically, if at all

     
  2. .
    I would add water until its about 300 and then check again tomorrow
     
  3. Ladies just went to sleep so once they wake I'll have them ready.

  4. Btw, it doesn't matter if you interrupt the night cycle in vegetative phase.
    You can go in there and work all you want. But once you flip to flower, night cycle becomes sacred.
     
  5. I sometimes open up the grow boxes in their night time even when flowering, but I try to not do it too often or too long. I have never had any problems. I wouldn't put bright lights on though, or have it open for longer than 10 minutes, and never disrupt two nights in a row. 
     
  6. Northern Light Auto Day 26
     
    OK everyone. Sorry for my absence but I have been sick and it's just been a struggle. My lady seemed to have been having a terrible time for a few days. The fox farms was just not working for me. It's too thick and just not a recommendation for hydro. Not at least from me. 
     
    I got a new nutrient mixture and I put a little H2O2 in the water and the plant seemed to be recovering.I took a paper clip today and pulled the top to the side to get some light to all the leaves. I will let you know how the plant recovers soon. 
     
    The AK Automatic Day 14
     
    Plant has about 10 leaves on it right now. Nothing but water right now and a little root concentrate. It will be starting it's feeding on Wednesday or Thursday.

    That's good to know. Thanks for the info. I think for the most part I will try to do everything I can while they are awake just to develop good habits because if I don't I know one day I'll end up smoking opening it up during night and forgetting to close it. I do stupid things like that.

  9. Looks like I have a nitrogen deficiency. I am upping the nutrients to get more nitrogen in.

  10. Sorry I haven't been updating as I should but a lot has been going on around me. 
     
    The plants seem to be doing pretty decent seeing how I haven't had the best of luck in the past. 
     
    Current Conditions 
    Lights 18/6 400W HPS -I'm will be turning down to 16/8 today

    \nQuestion: 
    I'm concerned that with the limited room I have some of the buds won't get the lighting they need. Haven't heard much on autoflower defoliation. Anyone have any advice?

    AK Auto seems to be stressed. I'm attributing this to a pH issue that was unresolved for a few days. I was fixed today and I hope to see some improvement.

  12. I did a lot of defoliation with my auto's, but they werent flowering at the time. It would be risky to defoliate during that phase.
     
    Also, I noticed you did not lollipop them even though youre using a scrog. The lower bud sites wont get much light and will pull energy from the main colas above your screen. I would engage in defoliation and lollipopping prior to flower in the future.
     
     
    Best of luck!
     
  13.  
    I wish flowering wouldn't have happened so fast. Ever since it started I got freaked out I'd screw things up. Yeah it's got a lot of undergrowth but some light is coming through. 
     
    I won't be doing automatics anymore. I just want to be more in control. 
     
  14. Hey everyone!
     
    A little help?
     
    I have no idea how much longer I have with my plant. Can anyone give me their best guess on how many weeks until harvest?
     
    I want to make sure I put fresh water in a week before the harvest. By my guess I was thinking about 2 more week?

  15. Just counted and I'm 58 days into flowering.
     
  16. 2 weeks is a good guess
     
  17. 1390087739520.jpg here's a pic of it up close and personal. It's on straight water now. Harvest soon! Sent from my One using Grasscity Forum mobile app
     
  18. I never give my seedlings nutrients until they have 3 sets of true leaves.At this point I give 100 ppm's.I'm addicted to learning!!
