Hello all and welcome back. We had a GOOD week. We are in flower and I couldn't be happier. This week was like most, just water when the pot is light. So here is the rundown.
Day 30 - This day I rotated 1/4 turn to avoid hot spots with my light. I also added a humidifier to the tent. I purchased a large dehumidifier for my house as the sunshine coast is in full WET season. This brought my tent down to low 40's RH. Humidifier was set up to a timer, 30 on 30 off. This kept me pretty steady between 55 and 60%RH. And she loved it. Just blew up.
Day 31 - nothing to do here but monitor the environment. All is well on this day.
Day 32 - on this day we water 💧 🙂. I'm doing a combination on top watering and bottom watering. I top dressed last week so I top water to flush the amendments down and bottom water to ensure no dry spot in Coco. It's working very well.
Day 33 - this day is a monitor day. Environment is holding steady at 26 and mid 50s RH
Day 34 - this day we watch again. Everything holding steady. In the evening before bed I checked in and noticed on a few leaves I have "rust spots." Only about 4 leaves but still, I was concerned. I removed the humidifier to lower the RH.
Day 35 - Continuing my only drama this week. In the morning, I watered, readjusted my LST ties and did some defoliation to the lower skirt any blocking prime bud sites that I can't tuck. I watered again this time with water ph set to 6.2. The rust looks like calcium or magnesium. Since I have Oyster Shell Flower (Calcium) in my mix and just top dressed a week ago, I thought it's more likely my mediums Ph swung a little high as my last watering was ph at 6.8 and I think my pen of off now. So I'm thinking small lockout. Watered with Epsom salts for Magnesium to be safe.
Day 36 - Today no new rust spots and the ones there are same size. I'll find out in a few days if I caught the spread in time. So all seems well.
Happy grow to all, and to all a good harvest!!
Hello,
I'm on Day 11 from seed in Coco/perlite using dry Amendments. My girls are yellowing from centre out and have been stuned a few days now. I'm under the assumption it's over-watering. I've air rated, dropped humidity to 45-50%RH.
Am I on the right path?
This is perfectly normal for how a seedling appears.
At this stage she is busy making roots and should shoot up shortly, again, perfectly normal behaviour.
I think your overfeeding already. Autos don't need very much food my friend. Pretty hard to overwater if your in coco. Make sure your feed for now is only at 250 ppm 0.5 ec and your ph should be between 5.5 to 6.0 with 5.8 being the sweet spot in coco. Those roots also want to spread so it is time to water to runoff, so you can check the levels inside the planter. Cheers and luck my friend. I grow soiless as well, so feel free to peek in. Max feed for autos in coco is 600 ppm 1.2 ec.
@GMSgrows, hi, I appreciate the help. First issue is, I haven't feed them yet. I'm using organic dry Amendments (Gaia Green 444, 284, and worm castings). Second is with organic Amendments I'm supposed to keep my PH between 6.2 and 6.8. If I keep it at 5.8, like bottle nutes, I will kill the microbial life as it too alkiline. Lastly I'm not supposed to water with run off as it depletes my Amendments.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, this is just how I understand to grow this specific method. I've been giving them an oz every 4 days or so.
I have a 3rd one in my tent, she is little (not even and inch above medium) in the same stalled place (first 2 serated leaves, second just growing) but no yellowing.
My coco is still damp under the first 1in or so, this is why I think over watering but 2 are yellow and 1 is tiny but green with praying leaves.
I'm stumped
