Just rememberd I use lemon juice for acidity. It seems fine, my waters Is 110 ppm and goes to 160s with lemon and calmag to get to 5.9 PH. Anyone have problems with lemon juice and coco? The mixture is 65 35 coco to perlite I’d say. The peet moss still holds the seeds.
Since my runoff goes up .3 ph and ppm is probably only 100 less than what goes in – thus 300ish ppm run off. Should I think about doing flushes? I don’t really mind 1 watering with to 1 watering without nutes. I like having ample nutes until I see symptoms of burn. Plus I anticipate going 13 weeks or more veg, thus I don’t want to run out! Pots will only get 3L large, fabric pots (vs clay haha).
Also, I am growing herbs and tomatoes in this green house. I have ample space, I like having ample benefits. What are the risks? Sage, Dill, basil, peppers, basil leaves and sweet, tomatoes from seed, oregano, and maybe rosemary too? I can already smell them – again LED causes these to smell and HID doesn’t. but HID seems faster growth – thus I should use LED for flowering? Is that the idea.
Life has calmed down – thank god. Im not much of a griever – especially with how much weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Fuck 2017 worst year ever. And 2018 will do down in history I hope as legendary turn around come back. I am a lucky human
Look at this horrid tomatoes, anyone have any idea? I think adding nute water is helping – but the leaves are so friggen flacid and not happy with the environment. 3 tomatoes growing.
After 180 ml of water, runoff went from 385 in to 540 out… I think after 4 more days the runoff goes down and not up ppm. Also, ph does not go up more than .4, this one was .8 up to 6.6. Today was 5.97 to 6.3 and 160 to 260 (no nutes day). I have decided to water every day until further notice. I hope I can go to every other day watering once the pot enlarged about 12 times to 3L fabric. I am in no rush – need a baby sitter for up to 10 weeks…
Thanks for reading! Cheers

This seems to be your first Grow?...
Back you light off, you don't need nutes untill you put them in 1 gallon container.
There is no point tring to "LST" your seedlings when they are that small...
Be patient all new growers try to do TOO MUCH.. keep it simple and if you have a 600w hid it should not be at max light untill 1/2 into flower and it should FINISH 3 feet away...
Best of luck
Keep good notes... you will improve over time
@Fun_Growin,
haha THE PLANT DOESNT NEED ME 😭
I will have a much better understanding next grow I agree. For now I won't give up on my northern lights, life is a little messy right now with my father's passing, but I know these plants can pull it together regardless of my stupidity. LST at week 3/4 haha damn
Water is different thats for sure, the larger pot is way more absorbent. Thankfully any runoff goes right into my herbs and tomatoes. I will revisit these comment before next grow and I will get better. Eventually Ill grow some magical bud
yeehaw cowboy
