salteeze As you can see here, it's a whorled phytolaxy seedling. I will update every Thursday on this strain. Looking forward to top feed this mf.
The only thing that is missing is a carbon filter with inline fan (on delivery) and 2 mini fans for air recirculation.
1st ques: Currently using 3 CFL bulbs total 4800lm, should i change to 200W LED for the whole grow?
2nd ques: Should i put a bit of bloom in the mix? Beginning of week 2.
3rd ques: Seedling has 3 leaves instead of 2, should i add up more nutes?
Slow growth, pls help.
You can switch to LED if you want; I start with LEDs now and I'm using 300w. Just keep the light at least 36" away. I usually start around 40" and move my way down slowly. You don't have any serrated edges on your leaves, so they're not getting heat stress. Just keep an eye on it -- CFLs can still put out some decent heat so just keep the lights at least 6" away. I wouldn't worry about your lighting -- whatever you want to use should work fine. Regarding bloom nutes, I wouldn't recommend it this early. Wait until around the pre-flowering or post-flowering stretch to make your switch (other growers can give you their two cents on this). The 3-leaves versus 2 is not a big deal -- some people actually prefer it. You'll likely see 3 bud sites on that node. It's not an issue. Regarding slow growth: I hate to tell you, but I've always had slow growth with DWC/hydro during the first 3 weeks. I was able to speed it up by at least 50% by adding a top feed (~5 mins every 2 hours, or just get a drip feeder). Even still, hydroponics does not seems to produce super fast growth in the first few weeks. However, around weeks 3-4 (once the roots have dropped and are fully in the solution), hydroponics leaves soil in the dust. I am getting super big plants starting around weeks 4 and 5. They are hard to contain, actually. But the slow growth is typical with hydro. Be patient. My biggest problem when I was starting with hydro was my constant messing with them. Make sure your pH is between 5.5 - 6.3, make sure they have plenty of water, and leave them alone! One other thing about nutes -- following my PPMs really solved my level of nutrients. I've found, specifically with autoflowers in DWC, plants can only handle about 75ppm while they're fresh seedlings. I can get up to 150ppm by day 7-10 and then start climbing from there. About 350ppm is where I'm at around week 3. I have never gone above 600ppm with an autoflower in DWC and NOT burned them -- so I'd recommend keeping them rather low. Your plant looks good. Be patient! Week 3 is when you should expect to see major growth.
salteeze Top fed week 2. Seedling development is way faster with co2. I could see new growth for a few hours. Worth buying the co2 tank. Should i continue with RO water or supply tap water? My tap water is at 90PPM and ph7.5. Suggestions?
#1: When should i top my plant? #2: How much co2 should i give in terms of litres per minute? #3: Instead of using co2 manually from the tank, is there any alternative way to emit co2 continously? #4: Should i stop top feeding or just continue?
You should top here whens he strong enough to handle it no less than 21 full days of growth and co2 ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐คyou dont need co2 for your grow u wasting money โ๏ธ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒif u want to know y i will surly explain โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐๐ป๐ป
1. For regular plants, during the 4th week of growth is the usual time; if it's an auto, usually during the 2nd week, TOPping (or FIMing) above the 4th pair of leaves. 2. Unless you have a closed environment, I would not use CO2, or you are just going to exhaust it out, and the cost will be ridiculous 3. I've seen videos of people using a DIY CO2 generator using yeast, you could check into that. 4. What do you mean stop the feeding? In hydro you must maintain a level of nutrients always. Only in soil you can stop feeding since it is a buffered media. PS. I would use your tap water 90 PPM is great range, if you use RO water you'll have to supplement Calcium and magnesium that tap water usually has in abundance.
Hi there! #1 ) Whenever you can but not until she got 3 or 4 nodes, otherwise if topped too young plants may not recover. #2 ) In order for CO2 enrichment to be the most effective, maintain levels up to 1500 ppm of CO2. #3 ) There are many alternatives that will cost you a kidney :D #4) Such young seedlings don't need anything but roots stimulator, watch out, they look overfed. I'll be around, good luck with these babies!

salteeze #1 Which is better for yielding, topping or fimming? #2 Why do the leaves curled from the sides? #3 What is good for foliar feeding? #4 Does anyone want to trade seeds?
salteeze #1: When should i install the scrog net? #2: How high or low should the scrog net should be? #3: Is it true that the longer the vegetation, the more the yield? (If i want more colas) #4: When should i get the cuttings?

salteeze I need Hydroguard but itโs hard to get it. I imported all of my nutrients from Aussie but they dont have Hydroguard. Anyways, i removed my scrog net due uneven light coverage. Ill harvest the top buds first then let lower buds grow for extra 2 weeks. After harvesting, 15 clones are waiting to be transferred in. Theyโll be in coco this time.
