Used the paper towel method on the 20th. 3 out of 3 popped out. Planted them on the 23th.
Gelato 01 and Auto Lemon came out of the soil on the next day.
Gelato 02 came out of the soil only on the 23th.
This is my first grow ever :)
One week that I planted them, just giving them water.
I'll let them grow a bit more so I start giving the nutrients.
Will keep updating in the next days 😊
Day 12 - Started to give nutrients for the first time. Let's see how it goes.
I'm following this guide here: https://www.hydrostork.com/ultimate-biobizz-feeding-schedule/
I started giving them nutrients last week, but I guess it was too early. I don't know.
Today I gave them only water because I think they had a nutrient burn. Will ask a question for guidance.
Some additional info:
- I didn't have my PH pen in the first week, so I gave them tap water (after that I checked and the pH was super high - around 8)
- One of them is very droopy (Auto Gelato 01), I don't know what it could be.
- I believe that I was not giving them enough water (around 1L for a 5 gallon pot), today I just gave around 3 L each (pH 6).
Hello, everyone!
Last week when I started giving some nutrients to my plants they started becoming yellow and one of them (Auto Gelato 01) have their leaves a bit droopy.
Added more details in the week 2 description! Can someone help me here?
Hey Growmie, if I read that right, there are a few issues. Less water more frequently at this point is better. I know the pots are big, but your roots are small, and could be drowning. Combined with the nutrients at that volume, definitely gonna lead to some wilty, discoloured plants. PH your water to 6.0 and 6.2, and wait! Lol, the pot will need some time to dry out , the top layer may get dry, but the plant will tell you when it’s thirsty again, just ease back for a bit, and hope they will recover. Don’t worry 😉
Hello! So this is my third week and I need some help to understand what's going on with them :(
So, as you can see, the bottom flowers are brown. Most of the new leaves are green but some of them are starting to appear some yellow/brown spots again.
- One observation that I didn't do in the last question was: my grow tent still doesn't have any ventilation. I only have the carbon filter but no fan inside. Do you think that maybe this could be the problem?
- Light schedule is 18/6. Also, I only put half of the nutrients to see how they would react.
- I thought they would be bigger by now, but maybe the pot is too big?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks :)
Hello, everyone! I'm still having problems with my plants and I'm kind of lost. They slightly recovered from the last week, but the bottom leaves are more brown now.
I don't know if it's okay and then the new leaves are grow green again? Left more comments in Week 3.
Them leafs at the end brother are from your last mistakes, they won't change with all the magic in the bud world. Increase ur cal mag. And other grow question was right too pots that big you should have a root stim and a micro, kinda defeats the purpose of growing in big pots if you aren't gonna stim youe roots. Yeah, increase cal mag. Get some basic npk grow and micro and you'll be laughing Amazon do a good trio for 18$ of general hydroponics or Advanced Nutrients are cheap. If you g9 with AN. Get vood0o+tarantula+ piranha this will deal with micro enzymes root stim and tarantula is both and also helps break down and root rot which you might get growing in soil and over watering. As for it now with what u got. Increasw cal 1.5-2ml/l and get some basic grow+bloom+micro if you already haven't got bloom. And if you wanna go all in for a few extra bucks get the AN gear it's great. Hope this helps.
The size of the pots is ok, when they grow in the ground as in nature, they have acres of room for root growth.
The lighting at 18/6 is perfect.
Lights at 30 inches maybe a tad too far away, about 24 inches is better.
No fan is no good, they need air movement to be able to transpire properly.
All your pictures look like a much too wet substrate, water only once the top 2-3 cm have dried out completely.
The damaged leaves will not recover, but your new growth should be fine.
Add a fan, reduce the watering, decrease the light height and start feeding more regularly, with half strength and things should pick up.
A dose or three with some seaweed tonic/extract would also help them recover.
Remember too, you are on a new adventure with growing and to get familiar with what it takes, takes time.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
