Seed planted directly in soil (BioBizz light mix) in the final 26L (7gallon) fabric pot, updates to come once germinated.
As a first time grower I have spent months investigating and learning about everything from equipment to organic soil life, and over the past few days I have finally received my long-waited equipment. I tried my best putting together a setup that works well for my needs, but as I have not yet had any real experience with it, I might have to do some tweaks over time and I am also happy to receive any comments and tips. I will be growing in 2 smaller end tents with near identical setups just in slightly different sizing, this Auto Ultimate will be run as a single plant in a Secret Jardin DS60 tent (2'x2'), I will soon also run few other Dutch Passion autos in the 2nd larger tent, in the future I'm likely to keep the smaller tent for veg/preflower and bigger for flower, so I could circulate 3-4 plants every 6-7 weeks. Growing my own bud has been a dream of mine some years now, so I am very excited for this grow and hope to learn a lot and hopefully end up with something nice to smoke in the end!
Update : seed germinated after 5 days in soil. Lights will now be on 18/6.
I am struggling to get my humidity high enough as it keeps trying to fall to 30-40% and I'd like it to be above 60% - any good tips how to do this and how much it will affect the plant? Laundry hanging near tent gives ~10%+, I've also tried misting some water every few hours.
I personally put wet laundry in my tent, with the bottom soaking in water so it keeps wet. But at your stage, I put a half cutted bottle over my seedlings (with small holes to get air moving) and mist inside. It keeps a good humidity when plants are young.
Hope it helped
Have a good day 💚
I’m starting to be at a loss with this. Calmag issues earlier in veg, seemed to improve for a while but now bottom leaves started to die - I thought this was just due to beginning of flower but it’s getting worse and spreading even to healthier new growth. PH (should be) fine.
@Uk420Show she's still getting Nitrogen and got almost too much of it a couple weeks back so I doubt it's that - last feeding was 1ml/l Grow (4-3-6) 1ml/l Bloom (2-6,5-4) 1ml/l + Topmax 1ml/l and Calmag 0.5ml/l, I think if I gave more N I'd burn the plant, it's also an autoflower...
To me it looks the most like a pH issue, but all tests show normal levels - I was wondering if it can be just too little P or some root issues? She also seems to not grow the speed she should, so something is wrong here but I don't know what. No pests found.
I really don't know what to do next, just flush the whole darn thing and reintroduce nutrients, cut some of the bad parts off and hope for the best?
@Blarw, Thanks! This is my first grow ever so I must say I'm even impressed myself how well she's growing. I noticed your lamp was very high up though, maybe bring it a little closer, it could speed up the growth? I'm keeping mine 65cm (about 2ft) away and she doesn't seem stressed by it at all 😊 Good luck with your grow, I'll keep an eye on it!
nice first growth!!
