Ph is rising, can't seem to stabilize
Weedhound,
I am going to start flowering as soon as possible. However, something bad happened yesterday
I got home around 9 pm to find my roommate fairly concerned. He is a very cool guy and knows that I have a recommendation for medical marijuana and such, but is still a bit cautious because of Federal law.
He said that the apartment manager called him and told him that the family below us had called the manager saying they had a leak in their small bedroom closet. Fuck!
What happened was my fill indicator tube that tells me how many gallons of water are in the reservoir had fallen over somehow and then the reservoir began to siphon itself out...onto my carpet...through the floor...down into the poor family's closet. All 15-16 gallons.
My roommate told the apartment manager that I had an aquarium in my closet (lol?) and that it had started to leak everywhere. Fortunately the manager wasn't mad but instead gave instructions on how best to dry out the carpet.
The manager is going to call sometime this morning to check up on things and I am going to say that everything is drying up real well (I've been trying to dry everything I can through most of the night.)
I am going to go and sincerely apologize to my neighbors tomorrow and tell them that I will pay for any damages that might have occurred. Maybe I should offer to wash their clothes that got wet.
My babies are in my tub right now and I have jerry rigged a 16 watt flouro and a 24 watt cloning flouro and set the time to the same as the HPS so hopefully their internal clocks aren't too fucked. The humidity outside the reservoir in my bathroom is at 70%, and I'm positive it's almost 100% humidity inside the reservoir.
I guess I did my res flush a couple days early, as soon as the water store down the street opens I'm going there and picking up another 15 gallons. I would have done this last night but I needed $5 in quarters for the 24 hour water machine but I didn't have more than a dollar or so.
I am hoping that my babies can survive for 13 hours without being sprayed with the nutrient solution. They are in RockWool that is still saturated as of now. Only about 4-5 more hours until my babies are fed again actively.
I can't believe what happened. Last night was definitely a rough night for both me and my girls. Hopefully it was harder on me than them, I feel so bad!
Fortunately my wonderful girlfriend has been extremely supportive about what happened and has said that if my girls die she will replace the crop with new clones, but I am not going to give up on them. If anything they are going to give up on me, I just hope they give me one more chance! (At least)
Remember how I said I have been working through most of the night? Well, last night when I got home I was super stoned, had 480mg of Dextromethorphan in my system (A dissociative), and had two shots of 80 proof hard alcohol (Last night was the first time I have ever had alcohol in my life, besides two glasses of wine at a birthday party a couple months back.)
I am curious to hear your reactions, impressions, SUGGESTIONS, and other comments because I definitely cannot go back to sleep until my babies are in a good situation again.
Thanks!
