Hi all, this is my first grow ever, so I am using this diary to keep track and maybe get some tips and tricks along the way from the more experienced growers. Planted on 22nd September. BioTabs Bactrex in the water used to inflate Jiffy, also spread a little bit of BioTabs Mycotrex in the planting hole. Kept the humidity dome with open holes and slightly tilted so there was fresh air. Humidity ranged from 65 to 80, but mostly it was kept in the 72-77 range. Temperatures were around 21 to 24 C with complete darkness. Extractor fan is kept working all the time at around 40% capacity, just to bring fresh air in. On day 3 after planting they were getting a little bit dry, so I watered them with 7-8 ml of spring water each. On day 5 - 2 of them showed up above the soil, but the first one still had the seed shell stuck to it, I applied a bit of water and it came off by itself. I suspect it's because I might have planted it too shallow. It looked a little bit stretched, but should be all right. I've turned on the lights, it's a Mars Hydro TS1000, currently 70cm away from the plants at about 35% intensity, LUX meter is showing roughly 5k LUX. On the next day I will have them at the same height, but at 50% intensity at 9k LUX. On the next morning the 3rd seedling showed though and looked fine. I will keep them in the Jiffy pellets for maybe 1 or 2 days more, then I am planning on transplanting them to 8L pots using BioBizz LightMix and the BioTabs feeding schedule. Still haven't decided if I should wait a week or so before adding the BioTab slow release and the Orgatrex. I was planning on just adding Startrex + Bactrex + Mycotrex, but waiting on the BioTab and Orgatrex for like a week so I don't give it too much nutrition - ideas are welcome here.

My experience with dry amendments is they take about a week to start releasing nutrients so when you go to transplant take that in mind.

Hi there THraCian, so basically when you use biotabs, sometimes there is too much N if you have such a short Veg. You can see there is too much N, from the " very green " or "too green" aspect of the leafs. The second thing is there is usually not enough Calmag in them actually. You can see this from the rust spots on the leafs. What you can do for that is make a calmag spray, and spray once a week, just follow the instructions on the bottle , maybe even add less calmag to the water solution and just spray the plants just before lights on. If you do this , the problem will stop spreading immediately and the plant will recover within a few days. I hope this helps ! 🚀

Noticed some brown spots on only one plant on the top leaves, it looks like potassium issue, but not sure if excess or deficiency. I gave it PK booster tea, but it had some undissolved residue from it exactly on that plant, so I am wondering if that caused it. Day 26 of flowering

Hi there Thracian, so basically it's still a magensium issue, you can see that from the discoloration on the serrated edges of the plant. Like i said above, a spray is much better. Uptake efficiency through the leafs is 80% and uptake efficiency through the roots is 20% so, it's a quicker way to fix deficiencies. Just make sure the water dropplets are quite dry after a while otherwise they can collect on the leafs and even make a burn like what you're seeing now because of the lights. otherwise just up the calmag a bit in the feed. Lack of cal mag is a very common problem in biotabs . That's because there is not enough regular chelation or something like that with biotabs. Everything else is fine growmie, just fix this and the problem should stop spreading immediately. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi, mate. Put your dehumidifier outside of the tent as it's fighting against extraction hence you have 45% humidity on display BUT 70% in tent. All your dry air goes through extraction.
