Akwaba! Thanks for coming back...

All is well on the hydro front. Growth is now accelerating. The EC and pH values seem to be stabilized. I do not need to be ammending the solution to make it fall in line with the requirements as often as I was.

The pH was around 6.1 but I downed it to 5.65 any way to ensure that any unsuspected rise will still be within or just outside the broadest recommended 5.5-6.2 range.

The EC was 1.3. I didn't add or take anything away on the nutrient front.

I'm very impressed with the overall development of the 12 day in to bloom clones. They stand between round 2" and 7" in height. The tiniest were very very tiny when added, but their development is very good so far. There are only a couple or three of these tiny plants if i recall.

In previous soil attempts I'd put rootless clones of a similar starting size into 6.5L Wilma pots and was able to achieve a single cola weighing around 28g dry & off the stalk.

These days I'm overly confident of Not loosing any clones for any reason once they enter the flowering room. Even if they are unrooted and placed under 12/12. With a little exra care and atttention, all plants that are not male in gender can produce fruits that only add to the final yeild.

If things in the garden do not go according to plan, I always maintain confidence and the desire to do a better and better job each time. We all have problems at some stage, but how we cope with them and the skills we introduce to overcome those problems is what makes a producer a master in their art. What a wonderful hobby we share in.

To round off; There seemed not to be any pest flying around the garden lastnight. I haven't applied anymore insecticides. I shall wait and see if any larve hatch over the coming day or two. If I see anything then it will be a case of no mercy and the smoke device will be used.

Thanks for catching up on my ramblings.
