Hi guys,
this is my first diary here and Im kinda new to growdiaries.com
I had sucess before outdoor and this is my second grow indoor. Previous indoor was in hydro with same LED.
So yea I really recommend this LED lights. Its new startup company in Poland spectro light. Im by no means an expert (as I mentioned - only second grow indoor), but I think its great value for the money. spectrolight.pl
This time I will use organic BioBizz nutrients. During this first week Im adding just the root juice, as plants are small and very young (as you can see on the pictures).
Watering - when needed.
As you can see on the pictures, I like to keep it all clean, tidy and nice.
Im wondering - in soil, with organic nutrients should I use watering schedule wwwn (water-water-water-nutrients) or - add nutrients every watering (as label suggests)?
I recommend this littile gadget as well - sensor push sensorpush.com
Also, as seen on pics, Im using air pums to pump air below the pots.
Anyways, I welcome all and any suggestions and encouragements :)
Organic nutrients schedule (BioBizz in particular) - should I use WWWF schedule (water-water-water-fertilizer) OR (as sugested by BioBizz) use nuts every watering?
Thanks!🙏
If you are using soil you will only need to feed once in a while or as the plant needs it. You shouldn’t have to feed for at least the first 2-3 weeks in soil rich with nutes. Definatly do not feed every day at this point in time or with every watering as this will cause nutrient burn. Hope this helps and good luck!
So i went for quick vacation/holidays to Georgia (love it!) and asked a friend of mine that lives nearby to take care of me babies 😊 so he watered the girls every 3,5 days on average (4 times during 14 days) with just as little as 100 ml per plant. Now I come back yesterday and I’m very happy with my girls - they look super thriving and eager to grow! I’m surprised as so very different they look from my previous grow in same setup except hydroponics - this time in soil in same day of vegetation they look much more dense and just thriving! Wow soil makes huge difference indoors.
I saw 2 top leaves (on pictures & on video) with light nutrients burn (no idea why - I just added root juice). Also I know for sure that my light timer has broken - there were days when light was 24h on...I don’t know what might that cause... but now is all good - light timer fixed. I think that I will just keep feeding them water. What do you think guys? Would love some advice!
Oh and pictures and videos are from yesterday. Before topping and after topping. On 2 girls I have used new topping technique.
Thanks!
Unfortunatly, as I have suspected, 3 weeks of non-stop light (due to timer malfunction - I was away on holidays and timer that controlled light somehow broke down - it did not turn off (was ON all the time...). A friend of mine was taking care of my little girls and he didnt recognize the problem (hes total newbie to growing and I had no one else to leave my plants with...).
So I kind of finished these plants that became miniaturized - bonsai like a bit. Small and they gave just a little bit of flowers...
Anywas, I consider this grow ruined due to equipment malfunction. Well, lessons learned:
1. Malfunctions can happen. It is impossible to control everythings. Misteakes can happen as well.
2. When leaving plants with someone while Im gone, make sure to list everything on paper - like a manual in bullet points (add *check lights on/off* to the maintnace list).
3. Accept failures. Learn, draw conclusions and move on. Time and money invested in ruined projects are time and money invested in education - always learn no matter you a pro or a newbie.
4. Have courage to try new things no matter the failures. One successful grow experiment that I try new things (or make new misteakes!) will make up for 9 failures.
Im already growing something else (Amherst Sour Diesel from clone - finishing flowering) and Im also starting new grow from seeds (OG Kush) so I will add new diary soon!
Thanks for comments and... well it was my first diary and first big failure with indoor growing so far! Hope next diary will be of more value to watch and read :)
Peace!
