California Dream Fem (1st grow ever)

[Letsgrowmore]

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

thank you and thank you for the TIP

Day 85 (19/41 flowering)

• happy to SEE more evidence of flowering

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

[FireGuy]

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.

[ChicagoCypher_CC]

Thanks FireGuy!!

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 needed to be calibrated

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

day 97 (31/41 flower)

• EC probe recalibrated and bottle #5 back to dispensing…grobo customer service is outstanding and accommodating

• plan to extend FLOWER an additional week …thoughts?

[pyromancy]

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!

[ChicagoCypher_CC]

thanks Pyromancy!!! support tickets are definitely “supportive” 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

[pyromancy]

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!

[pha720]

Very nice plant!

[ChicagoCypher_CC]

thank you!

day 118 (52/55 flower)

• extended flower stage two (2) weeks

• trichomes seem to be cloudy

• planning to extend flowering stage at least one (1) more week or more as waiting for amber trichomes

• any feedback is appreciated

[ChicagoCypher_CC]

day 139 (73/76 flower)

• still waiting (and waiting) for more amber before going to flush …

• extending week by week for a total of 5 extended weeks of flower…

• are there ANY ISSUES with staying in FLOWER too long?… other than nutrient usage as I’m almost at my 3rd bottle for #3, #4 and #5

[Fluffhead]

She’s gorgeous.

[ChicagoCypher_CC]

THANKS! learning a lot along the way

[pha720]

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

[pyromancy]

Good patience @ChicagoCypher_CC , plant looks wonderful and I think you’re gonna nail the perfect harvest time.
