Woot, we are on to week 2 and I haven't killed em! Going to start off on day 8 as things have been ultra busy around here. In good news, got my RO system on the way because this 420ppm from the tap is not going to work worth crap. Got my seed orders in today all at the same time so it was bloody Christmas (I honestly don't know what I will do with them all, and think I have a serious problem). Seedbanks were Attitude, JAHseeds, and Vancouver Seed Bank. So for photos we are going to have how cool these Method 7 Operator+ glasses work. I also got the Agent glasses which do not really work with my light but I will keep them for guests. Pictures of the current grow with details to follow. First off, I germed the rest of my seeds to make up for the lack of germing on a bunch of them. Currently 4 Early Miss, 4 Candy Cane, and 3 Trainwreck. Early Miss despite initially giving me a great deal of trouble is making a fast recovery and looking great. They are starting to get their first sets of real leaves. Trainwreck is doing awesome, and in my laziness and wanting 3 of them took my last seed and direct sowed it into a pot. I am keeping it well drenched and fingers crossed everything works out. They are running about 2 inches and got true leaves. Candy Cane has finally popped out but is way behind the others in size (maybe 3/8 inch tall). I have done some light watering as they were getting a little light but am trying not to newbie it and over water them. I am also waiting on the reverse osmosis system. I checked my towns water records and wow... It actually has arsenic it among other things. Day 10, Not much to report here.. everything seems to be growing pretty good. I added some more clipon fans to get some air moving and a gentle breeze on the plants. Today was their first "real" watering. The water had some cal/mag added to it, PH was 6.7, and 500ppm (up because of the cal/mag. Each of the more established plants received about 1.5 L of water, and less for the smaller ones. Some of them are getting their second set of real leaves going. Ill take pics later in the day to see how well they took to their watering. Temp is holding steady at 26.5C and RH just short of 40%. Day 11. Was going to post pics yesterday -sorry- but figured I would wait until I got my Canons transfer cable to take decent pics. Not much going on here, everything grew a little. Experimenting today, up'd the light intensity to 40% reds, 80% blues, 80% whites. I also lowered the light by about 6 inches so I will be watching that today and make a little more complete update later today. Day 13. Could quite possibly be 14, I am getting rather mixed up and could use timestamps on this thing. Alright lets get started! Lots of rain this week which has been pushing temps and humidity up 26-29C, and 54% humidity. That Trainwreck sprouted this morning sometime when I wasn't looking. It hadn't sprouted at 6am when I checked so sometime in the last 3 hours. I am happy about that, I wanted three of each, and now I got them! (Well actually 4 each of the Early Miss, and Candy Cane). As you can see the Trainwrecks are absolutely killing it on growth. In second place we have the Early Miss growing astonishingly well. Lastly, we got the Candy Cane! These gals seem to be a little behind the others but so far looking healthy -maybe they are doing most of the growing underneath the dirt! Everything received a light watering, and guessing with this humidity wont need one again for awhile. The larger plants (Trainwreck and Early Miss), got a light watering with 1/3 strength nutes. I did not want to tempt more than that as that was already 500ppm water. My reverse osmosis system should be in today, so that should alleviate the water issues. I am just gonna stand by and see how they react to the nutes, hopefully well. I am starting to realize I am going to need some supplemental lighting as the light gets closer and the footprint smaller and smaller. I figured with this grow tent build I would stick to the Kind LED theme, and wouldn't you know it they have their bar lights 50% off!! After excitedly throwing some in my shopping cart and checking out they don't ship to Canada -Fuckers! Well that wasn't a problem, my tent came as a package at a screaming deal from LED Tech Store: https://www.ledtechstore.com/ . I have had just awesome dealings with the guy in the past (and he is a Kind LED distributor), so I fired off an email and he is going to throw me another awesome deal. Its really worth talking to him as he will make a package that will suit your needs. Highly recommended. Well thats it for this week, on to week 3! Thanks for following!

Grow Questions

scruffbeardstarted grow question 7 years ago
Got my Bluelab EC/ppm meter in today! Once I had it calibrated I decided to test my tap water. It came out to 420ppm, I shit you not... God wants me to grow pot! Unfortunately this is also a little high as I decided to test my ppm with my nutes. Note: this water hasn't been left out to evaporate chlorine or anything. Using the Dual Fuel x Terpinator schedule found here: https://mygreenplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dual-Fuel-Terp-Feed-Chart.pdf I took 1 Litre of tap water, and added the nutes for week 3 -2ml Dual Fuel 1 and 2 (I dont have Vitathrive, totally forgot it at the grow store despite writing a list.) Well my ppms shot to almost double of the recommended amount of 850pmm. I am really starting to see why many people struggle with Ntox, etc if they dont use a ppm meter and account for what is in the actual water! To combat this I will probably lug 5 gals water from the grocery store until I splurge on an RO system. Maybe even a cheap Brita faucet filter might bring it down? Tell me what you think!

Sorry to hear you have such bad water. Unfortunately those cheap brita filter won't help much. For the amount of plants you plan growing, you are better off looking for an affordable RO System.
