Hi, this is my first growth ever, so don't judge me too hard I am learning as I go. My setup is not finished still waiting for some parts and nuts to arrive. I will do a full tour of my custom 23 x 45 x 80 growing area, once I will have it finished.
The goal is to get the best quality bud, as I am growing for my own needs.
Sorry for the lack of photos for the first few weeks, originally I wasn't planning to do a diary, but since I am starting to become lazy with my growth, I will start document it :)
Week -2
Started cooking my soil. Canna terra seedling medium + worm castings + Living soil Grow Auto. Watered with not ph. tap water + Ecothrive neutralize to dechlorinate my water. Added some perlite and washed some Coco Choir. 80/10/10
Week 0
Planted Blue Dream directly into a substrate. 3 days later had to dig it out, because it was a bit to deep into the soil.
Week 1
Planted BubbleGum.
End of week 2 girls are doing fine, watering only if dry. I wish my blue dream was a bit taller.
Day 13 Blue dream was top-dressed with some Grow and Worm castings.
Ordered some Ecothrive biosys and molasses.
Fungus gnat arrived faster then my sticky pads :( no watering for a few days. keeping top soil dry.
Had this weird feeling that something is wrong. Leaves are whitening slower grow. I checked soil's ph it was 4.1
flushed plant with tap water it is 7.5ph, forgot to dechlorinate bubblegum tap water :(
Next watering microbial tea: Grow, Wormcatings, ecothrive biosys, Molasses.
1 day after microbial tea girls looking super health a specially blue she is loving the life :D
02/04 - Few leaves removed, second day after microbial tea
Happy Birthday 😎👏👊 Blue Dream is 3 weeks old and BubbleGum 2.
Leaves are losing colour, becoming white. Checked soil run off - ph4.1 😳😳
flushed plant with ph7.5 tap water. What possible could cause this ?
next watering microbial tea. Is there anything else I can do?
hey there NoTrix, You're right in your assessment and you've got the right idea with the microbe tea, these will stabilise the in-soil pH nicely , but it will take 10 days or so. What you absolutely dont want to do is to create pH fluctuations , so pH down your tap water to around 6.0 and maintain that pH throughout. Another thing you can do is use humic acid . this will equalise your in-soil pH to 6.5 . Hope this helps ! 🚀
Setup is only 80% complete. I will add another qb288 v3 301h 120w.
Still waiting for my co2 meter, I have a feeling that my co2 is 400+
04/04 - Blue is showing overwatering symptoms. I am not surprised flush followed by microbial tea.
spraying leaves with distilled water 2-3 times a day( don't have better use for it )
06/04 - Plants are thriving at the moment, they are as happy as they can get.
Massive Gains 💪💪😎
Tomorrow I will LST side branches for Blue Dream, probably defoliation as well.
@CRiSPrGrow Hi, should i ph+- my tea ? I don't have pump or air stone to brew my tea. Since I only need very small amount of it, I am planning to put everything in bottle shake multiple times a day and I will leave it open for 30-40h that should work right ?
