Wow! What a difference a week makes!
They’re happily taking water almost daily (depending on how much I saturate). So it’s been about 1 gallon a day. They love the fish tank water.
I added the net this week. I’m trying to level out the two tall ones so the canopy is a bit more uniform.
I’m thinking I’ll switch to 12/12 in the next week or so. I’m excited to see these ladies flower.
Water: 55 gallon fish tank with 4 small fish. So not a lot of poop but there's algae and I'm sure all kinds of good nuts. I ph it down with lemon juice to about 6.0. PPM is around 140. The plants seem to love it.
For potential transplant shock, you could trim off the lower leaf's on the plant that are yellow or trim them back a little, adding kelp to the watering after you transplant helps as well. Some reports of using a little bit of sugar have been reported, but is anecdotal and may cause acidity changes to the water, so I would pH test if you do that before watering. Personally I would stick with kelp, always has worked for me.
They look great, even if they are drooping, I'm sure they'll be okay. Good luck!
@FreeRangePessimist, hey thanks for this! Yea I ended up trimming the bad parts, let them dry out then resumes my watering regiment. I use ph’d water from my 55g fish tank. All my plants seem to love this stuff including my lime tree!
Getting ready to post this weeks progress. They’re all happy and healthy looking!!!
