Lookin set for some glory there bro.

Hey bud .shes a cutie :High 5:.If I remember right it was Seymour who said the PH drop is an indication the plant is ready for bloom in DWC .May also be your EC to high though ?.

Now shes sexed a good few days id go for the 5.8 -6.0 PH range mate & not wait too long before you switch either.they wlll still go in bloom believe me !... & that tent aint the biggest mate & will be stuffed if she keeps going :smokebuds:

Hey bro, I will keep the PH between 5.8-6.0 as of today then, I've been trying to hold off on the switch to bloom for two reasons: 1. to get her as big as possible (this point may be void now if she's still gonna expand after the switch as you pointed out) 2. I'm ordering my second MS0006 unit tonight so depending on how fast GN can get it to me we could be switching to bloom and double LED power in less than a week. I want to switch to bloom the second my new light is ready and plugged in. Sound good? Also do I need to do a flush before switching to flores or is it just a straight res change? Only used organics before didn't worry much about flushing. :smokebuds:

Lookin set for some glory there bro.

I'm hoping so, her smell is so dank already : kinda getting used to all the monitoring and reading what the plant wants now - feels like I'm back in science class man :smokebuds:

Day 38

Just a few tent shots today, EC has stayed at 1.5 and I think the tip burn has halted - will continue to monitor and update. PH 5.8. As I mentioned above I should be ordering my new MS0006 tonight. Any ideas on how best to position them for one plant? I'm guessing like this / plant \ so at slight angles?

Looking good bro and angling them increases the intensity of the beam so perfect if you only have 1 plant but you only need to use the 1 light until she flowers.

Its all preference buddy ...but ,you don't need 2 GN's to switch to bloom ....if one gets added then great but for a 0.9m tent you are good with just 1 mate .So can't agree with reason 2 for not switching to bloom lol.
Reason 1 is a fair one !... my thoughts are its a DWC/GN/DP Grow bro .You will fill that tent !... the switch can be delayed no problem but from what ive learned from the top boyz is they generally switch a week too ten days after sex ?.I follow that rule of thumb & its worked great ....stretch wont just stop the moment you change to bloom nutes(from my experience with this combo anyway!) .
I say no need to flush either ?. again up to you & some might say different?. Some change gradually as well using some veg ,some bloom for a week ect.I just straight swap & be done (another reason I think flush is not needed).
Low EC is better with Canna mate (strong shit).Seymour said he knows someone who never goes over 1.8 with this range & ive only got to 2.2 max with the mazar ,so go easy yea.Looks like your doing everything right & finding the "zone" though

PS ...2 GN in a 90 tent? ... id get another 90 tent to go with the extra LED bro:dance2::five: lol.

I hear what you're saying bro, I just wanted the bloom switch to coincide with the new light going up Doesn't have to, I have a res change scheduled in three days, I will switch her to bloom then which is before my light will have arrived and then i'll just add the extra light as and when it does arrive. My tent is 0.8x0.8x1.6 so not massive - my thinking is that the two lights in such a small space will deliver a good lumen per square foot reading to give me an extra boost in bloom. I could be wrong for sure but as far as I know when the plant is in bloom, more light = more bud. If ever I was in the awesome position of a plant out growing this tent then I have a massive 1.6x1.6x2.0 tent for back up (it's in storage for when I can afford a bigger set up) so I don't have any concerns about her getting too large, the bigger the better in Pal's world : :smokebuds:

Day 39

Hey guys got some pics for you to check out, I topped up the res with 1L of water again today to keep the water level touching the net pot and to take the EC down to 1.4, still showing a few burnt tips but could just be the development from having the EC so high before now. I'll see how she looks at 1.4 although it didn't rise from the 1.5 I set it to yesterday. PH 5.8. Hopefully by the end of next week I'll have my second GN unit up and running so I'll keep you all posted as usual (even if you don't want me to :X's Evil Laugh x
Enjoy

Been waiting on my estate agents to sort some shit out (long) so I still haven't ordered the GN yet, hopefully will be monday latest I wanna get that bad boy in there for flowering (will be switching to flower on monday also)
