Unfortunately, you would need another refractometer for brewing. The refractometers for brewing vs plant brix use different integers but are essentially the same device.

I just struggle my tits off to get enough juice on the plate, so my refractometer just sits in drawer now. Once I was very curious about brix, now I'm very meh about it. Brix also changes depending on what part of the plant you are extracting the juice from so at a point I was getting different readings from different parts of the plant, and even time of day made a difference, so I just left it alone. If you can get consistent readings and provide that to others, then you are the man

You using a brix refractometer?

Harvest incoming ZxP

Looks like my organic tent! Had to double check what thread I'm in

Have you had any PM issues in the past? I'd be slightly nervous with the amount of vegetation happening at the moment in that tent and I'd probably start removing fan leaves starting from the bottom until I could reasonably see through the canopy from the top.

Finally got the net in

Checks out

I see you're getting the hard water option for the nutes. Where are you based and what is your water source?

Chances are this plant is way past done by now.

Bnb for the win.

Very l33t, very yes.

I just added a layer of leca above the coco/perlite mix. It helps a little bit with evaporation, and I don't have to look at crusty coco at the top anymore So the pot has leca at the bottom that just slightly covers the airdome, then a 50/50 mix of leca - coco/perlite, then another layer of leca. I have found this to be the ultimate thus far for the autopots. Quick to root, great drainage, not bad evaporation.

Bushy big tent, gave it its first proper trim. Still have to setup the net Before After Smaller tent is approaching harvest time. I'll push it to the last week of this month at least. I am really liking the stacking on this round of the ZxP. I feel I've got a good idea of how many branches to keep for optimal growth.

Big tent is a week into flip. Going well and starting to begin preflower. I must throw in a net at some point soon. Smaller tent is about two weeks to harvest. Probably one of the nicest finish to a ZxP run I've had in a while. Usually the fade is underway at this point but I'm glad to see the ripening is pushing a little later. The plants look overall still keen to keep going full speed ahead. Organic Tent™ is probably having one of the worst runs of the year. The OMGs in my opinion did not have a great run. I feel I overstressed them too soon with crazy training. The Wedding Cakes are probably the better of the plants that will come out of this tent. I will keep one of the OMGs and try a rerun when I pop some fresh seeds again. Harvest will be roughly same time as the smaller tent with the ZxP. I'll time the harvest around the Wedding Cake and the rest will just have to follow.

Ew!

That's a spooky picture.

I've been using AgriSil K50 for the first time and so far so good. Managed to revitalise some plants after transplant using it. pH was pretty high though and they recommend not mixing with any other nutrients when using it. I managed to pH the solution quite easily and used it initially as a foliar spray. I will do a soil drench with it in a week or so.

Let's see them links, King! Show us the guys importing for less, why you holding out on us bruh?

I have topped the plants in the big tent. Two of the plants at the most bottom right are showing those initial signs of deficiency I've been having in some of my recent grows and I am putting blame on the transplant this time. They had the least developed roots and are now stressing or the roots are struggling to uptake nutrition. For now I have given them a potassium silicate additive foliar feed and I went ahead and just sprayed all the plants. I am hoping that in the time it takes to build the canopy the two laggers will catch up. Smaller tent is developing some really nice bud so far. All the bud sites are looking good. I'm expecting this to be a very good run even considering the initial bump in the beginning regarding the medium pH.

Heads up. Meiju have opened up an office in the Western Cape and they don't look too bad at all. A few products in particular catch my eye. For somebody just starting out I'd point to this 240W. I personally have been slowly looking and waiting for what would inevitably replace my QBs when their time comes and I would opt for the 650W below. I've got another year or so I rate before I think I should start testing/replacing my first LEDs.

That autoflower plant isn't going to produce much, especially after a medium change during intense stress. That's the con about autoflowers in my opinion. If it were a photoperiod you could just keep it in veg until it's better and then flip. If it were my plant I'd chuck it and start again, but if I were you I'd keep it and try my best to get as much from it as possible, even if it ended up being only 5g you'll learn a lot from the experience. If you are using Tripart (Terra Aquatica/formerly GHE) correctly and following the ratios on the bottles you shouldn't be getting deficiencies. Something would then either be wrong with your medium or your pH. I would wager that your pH isn't low enough either in the feed or the medium.

Looks good for now. You will likely ditch those leaves at a later point anyways.
