Temps are good 25-28C
PH 5.8
EC bumped to 0.8

Light readjusted to 24"


They were looking a bit pale today so I've pushed the ec up. Rhizo @ 2 ml/L and Canna coco A&B
I also gave them a foliar spray with Calmag @2ml/L
As you can see in the pics there are a couple of brown marks on the leaves, I think it might be where they got splashed during feeding.

Krofam has kindly, if foolishly, lol volunteered to Mentor me and I couldn't be happier. Big thanks to Krofam.

looking good man. keep it at 0.8 for now.
you rhizo at half strength every other feed.

how much are you mixing up at a time and how much are you feeding through?
what are your tap water readings again?

at this point feeding every 2 or 3 days or so is fine. you want the medium to dry out a bit but not too much. this makes the roots search and grow.

i pur in 1 ltr at a time. slowly around the stem at first so it saturates in the middle and all the way to the bottom then, upping the speed slowly untill it starts to fill pot creating a pool, i then stop and allow it to be fully saturated. in airpots, if too much water come out the side holes your doing too fast. this method pushes out old air and gives more frsh air to the roots.

lights on 24/7?
you could stick it on 18/6 but as mentioned before, you gota do it now. i say this cos heat is coming and better to be prepared. good time would be 10am - 4pm.

i do 24/7 cos i can handle temps.

PHd to 5.8

Today I mixed up 6 litres but it came out way to high ec. So what I did was took 1/2 litre of that and added ph 5.8 water until I got it to ec 0.8. My water most days is 0.3 but 1 day was 0.4 so I check everyday. So total ec today is 1.1.

I have filled the airpots and prepared the room for them. I have also added a 5" ruck to run alongside the existing 4". I am at present getting the temps right under a 600w Lumii Sunblaster. I fucked up a bit as I thought it was dual spec but it's not. I have a Lumii digital ballast which I have set to 400w. I'll see what the temps are like and go to 600w if I can keep it under control.
I have just checked and temp is 29 which I like but no way I'll be able to go to 600w without air con as bot fans are going full blast. At the moment I have 4" passive from the loft, when I get back from walking the dog I'm going to connect the 4" to the passive to pull more cold air in. I would really like to get 600w over the 3 girls. I may have to get a cool tube. I read somewhere you only lose a very small percentage of lumens but would need to check.

The girls are in the kitchen at the moment on the window ledge ready to go in the pots and I could do with some advice. I took the pots in the wetroom and ran a load of ph 5.8 water through them. No additives at all. They have been draining for about an hour. The girls have been fed in the existing pots. After repotting should I give them another feed, add feed to airpots then repot or just repot as is?

The dog is hassling me to go out so will post pics when I get back in 1/2 hour. This will also give the groom temp plenty of time to stabilize.

Back soon

Should I snip off the brown bits of leaves?

[The Solyom]

Forgot to add. No. 1 is in a bigger pot than the other 2. I think 2 & 3 are 3" and 1 is 4". Not that it matters as they are going into air pots some time tonight.

I would personally just leave them atm, once the plants fully established they will fall off on their own usually. If not I pluck em in flower. They are Cotyledons, there to give the seed its initial boost, not designed for the long term

[Krofam]

well said macca!

you can cut the cannazyme for now. i only ever use it a bit during flower and after transplanting.

they are looking great. keep readings as they are. i dont go higher than 1.5ec and thats in flower so raise it slowly.

dont pot up just yet. let them grow a bit more and establish more of a root system. actually helps when transplanting later. you dont wanna take it out of the pot and have the whole root ball fall apart.

this is the longest bit.

so its on the diary, how long do you plan on vegging? whats your goal? etc..
