Hi AFN family,
Another week gone and trainwreck is really starting to flower properly now, WG has now flipped also so not sure if she'll make her min height of 70cm (currently at 61cm, 24"). The two CWW aren't flowering yet and growing slowly. I really think that the heat wave we had and the effect that had on trying to keep good humidity in the growing stage has been a big factor in slow growth, first time I've had to deal with this so practice needed.
Thanks to @Corum59 for the ppfd app and all your great help and advice. Now know that my fear of light damage to my girls meant that I'd put them on a light diet and not realised it, sorry girls. After adjusting everything the light situation is that its currently on at 90% power, its 18" from the canopy for all but TW ( she's at 16").
Current temp is 26.7c and 71rh.
Still feeding twice a week with alga grow for all but TW who is now on Terra flores bloom feed, WG will also be swapped to this this coming week. Still adding 1ml/l of calmag to both feeds then ph'd to 6.3.
They both also had their first spray of Playgron retro forte sugar leaf spray last night and will be getting this weekly.
All the girls had a feed of cannas cannatonic on Tuesday to clear out any old or dead roots and any salt or nutes build up, this is once a fortnight.
They all had canna root stimulator this morning at 2ml/l , TW 1200ml, WG 900ml, CWW 1 600ml and CWW 2 600ml.
Ppfd readings for each were TW 717, 61.9 dli : WG 540, 46.3 dli : CWW1 485, 42.5 dli : CWW2 600, 51.8 dli

Pictures with heights below, thanks for stopping by and have a hippy, hoppy and happy week guys and girls :yay:

its looking very full and happy in there, keep on rocking those girls.
Thanks mate, the ppfd app has really helped light wise. Wanted to ask you a quick question pretty please. TW and WG's leaves are getting very pale green, I think its a nitrogen and potassium def, these are the two that are flowering, what would be the best nutes for this? I have canna terra flores which is what they're having and has previously been enough but I have changed soil for this grow to avoid gnats etc and extras are needed it seems. I have some Mr magic npk which I think I'll give them today, with calmag. Any suggestions gratefully received :)
 
I saw that they were looking pale on the outer edges of the leafs with the yellowing lines going in, not something I have ever suffered from, and my first thought was that you have been burning them,especially as they seem to be the upper nodes, but you stated that they were starved of photons, so I decided my comment was not informed enough to bring up. :smoking:

possible cause may be "zinc deficiency" caused by Ph issues or root issues caused by over watering or watering too often..

this might help, compare the pics with your plants 1st hand. https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/zinc-deficiency

i grow in a soil mix with very simple nute mixes, and very rarely suffer deficiencies, if I have problems its from watering too often.
I feel that most people over feed, rather than under feed, and its difficult to know from just a pic or two.

If I do feel during flower that "IF" I am missing some micro nutrients I can give them a single dose of bog standard tomato nutes/garden nute stuff as it generally contains higher levels of micro nutrients and a dose of nitrogen, just in case, but I only ever feel the need to do this one time.

I dont really offer advice on deficiencies, as I dont have them and so dont feel experienced enough to advise anyone, however GWE has some great stuff for you run through and compare to make an informed decision based on your own experience and current practices. I am sure it will work out though. :smoking:

Thank you so much mate, I'll check out the links etc. I've never had deficiencies before either, had a little right at the end of my last grow together with the light burn. Height wise the last light is as high as it goes so have turned down to 80% as a precaution and still have a good photon spread. I feed Mr magic to my tomatoes so will give them that today and will cut back on the watering a little too. Then follow whatever advice I get from your links etc. Thanks again, have a beautiful canna day
