Day 22 of veg since popped thru substrate.
Shit - got some issues popping up I think itβs magnesium.. Iβm gonna run some Epsom salts thru them with micro only tonight.. itβs been so long since Iβve done a larger from seed grow like this in coco or in general. Maybe I should use a coco specific nute in the future but why spend the extra cash.. I can work it out and theyβll recover within a week or so.
Punch Line ones look a little deficient in N too..
Update soon
considerable smell for early veg.
UPDATE
Day 24 now and growth is ramping up..
Did a big flush and feed last night on all my vegging soilless plants.. Runoff was fine - 400-600 PPM, so my assumption is the issues I'm having are certainly from the coco. This is Mother Earth coco/perlite mix I've used for some time now.. I will definitely be doing more thorough rinsing and buffering of this in the future.
Ramped up the nutes a bit more, hoping that wont be a mistake.
Did a mix of
1ml Armor Si
3ml CaliMagic
Dash of Epsom salt to kick up the magnesium even more
7.5ml Micro
6ml Gro
4ml Bloom
This was based off GH website new feed charts they have. Fingers crossed they respond positively. Like I've said before, this is the first time I've done from seed in coco in several months - I guess got used to feeding clones or something cuz I'm surprised by these issues. Oh well, I'll get past it and this is another reason to run photoperiod plants - I'm not on a limited timeline and can make sure all the girls are healthy before initiating flower cycle. I'd be shitting my pants if these were autos and having the same issues.
Wish me luck
βββ - UPDATE- βββ
Day 26
Interveinal rusting/spotting stopped progressing within 48 hours of feeds outlined above. We can safely assume it was a magnesium deficiency.
Taking feeds down just a lick to the following
1.5mL Armorsi
3mL Cali magic
4ml micro
4ml gro
2ml bloom
Pinch of Epsom salts to up magnesium.
PH at 5.8-5.9
Growth has become aggressive for sure.. so happy to see these girls doing their thing and having issues sorted for the most part. Topping soon.
@BroMan65, thanks. I looked back thru this and realized I was so excited for ETHOS that I did document the shit outta this grow. Thanks for reading man
@BroMan65,
Thanks many appreciate that really. Iβve got less into the heavy documentation cuz Iβm not sure anyone reads it lol but itβs nice to see you did
@Ezzjaybruh, Thanks man but how many plants do you think i can grow with this light in my 4x4x6 effiently until i do get a new light and maybe a second 3x3 tent for veging then use the 4x4 for flower w a better light eventually. but for now how many should i do in this current setup to get the best yields everytime i do grow with the setup. how many plants would be best for best yields each grow i do.
@iiSNEEXx, that light is likely best for a 3x3, thats the advantage of these bar lights is that they evenly cover the entire 4x4.. so you can pack it in real tight. You could probably do a full tent like this - the ones on the sides of the tent just might not be getting optimum light. If you got $ to update light I'd recommend it. But getting a full grow under your belt with what you got also is a good idea. Good luck!
