This looks great! Maybe do a bit more lollipopping on the stems to help focus that growth up top for best buds! :+1::+1:

Day 85 (19/41 flowering)

  • happy :slightly_smiling_face: to SEE more evidence of flowering :sunflower:

HOWEVER Support Ticket was sent in tonight

  • 12th week of drain/fills but bottle #5 did not disperse today

  • tubing was checked and not obstructed with roots

ANY HELP based on your experiences would be great

My bottle 5 wouldn’t dispense because my EC was high. Check your EC probe for build up. If it’s there, clean it off and do a drain/fill.

Thanks FireGuy!! :ok_hand:t4:

the Grobo Support Team (Danielle, Stephen, and Stacey) have all been great helping out with the Support Ticket that was emailed in

no bacteria build up but the EC probe :thermometer:needed to be calibrated :balance_scale:

adding 20ml manual doses of bottle #5 :baby_bottle: during drain/fills directly to tank while waiting for EC 2.77 solution to arrive in the mail :mailbox_with_mail:

God damn she’s purrrrrrrty! Glad you got your EC meter fixed. My #5 didn’t dispense the last two drain and fills but I cleaned it up with a brush and some soapy water and rinsed before I started my new grow.

After reading that you need EC 2.77 solution in the mail, I’m gonna possibly look into getting some. No idea if my #5 will dispense on my first early veg drain and fill so I’ma open a support ticket ahead of the game too and see how much manually I’ll need.

Good luck, you’re getting closer to the end!

Oh I would definitely extend atleast a week! I think you might be looking at two weeks or even three plus flush though to be honest in my opinion!

thanks Pyromancy!!! :fist:t4: support tickets are definitely “supportive:slight_smile: as they sent the complimentary EC solution…thanks for the advice as i’ll be extending for a week or so as she seemed to flower a bit later than others on AG

That’s good to know… maybe I’ll wait and open a ticket first. I still have some time before I find out if my EC was just dirty etc.

Again, beautiful plant… she has some nicely formed branches that are gonna really fill in here in the next 2-3 weeks I think for you nicely!

She’s purty! Frost everywhere. I always find that’s the longest part, is waiting on the amber to start showing.
