Week 6. So sadly the test was a failure. The AN grow, well, it was a disaster. Once the nutrient burn set in there was just no bringing her back. Idk if the heat got to the bottles. As its marked on the bottles the temps should be between 10-20c which is silly. Ambient fluid goes over 20c unless it's kept cold. As terra power bottles say to keep between 5-25c which is much more doable. The AN grow is taller but as you can see, the TP grow had very little trouble in her growth stage and she has much nicer structure and a much nicer looking plant. Have moved both onto TP. AN base nutrients even when mixing is much more potent. You can easily fit in 2ml of their bloom nutrient and the ppm is easy and much lower. Here an example. 2ml of part A+B and the B-52 for AN and La Sirena for TP gives 2200ppm for AN and for TP the PPM is 1350 big difference. As I'm growing in soil, putting in that amount of EC while trying to fit in the right amount of nutrients isn't possible. But the nutrient are fine for growing in coco. But for soil, no. Idk if its the fact that I have sensi coco but I knew this, and the only difference between the coco and normal line is the coco has a lil bit more cal in it. So, AN was a failure. TP is a true pleasure to grow with. They are a great nutrient. And this is my 1st run and I've figuring out how to use them. AN grow has been in damage control the last week. I was really thinking of just chopping her. But TP nutrients seemed to have brought her back under control. Am splitting the feed into 2 different stages. 1 feed will be with the base nutrients and the other will be all the bloom boosters. Enzymes will be split between the 2 feeds.
@gottagrowsometime, I'm just a dirty organic farmer so I'm no help, if I ever get my big growroom built I want to try some different stuff and growing in water is one for sure... happy growing π» π
@Cyrusdavirus, Yeah, they are. Seems like I am figuring it out. Much better growth this stage compared to my 1st round. Just gotta dial in DWC now lol.
They is some lovely buds, am new to autos, amazing to see how they turn themselves, sorry I'm old school, when I was growing we had very few choices. I'm only getting back into it, think I'll stick with photos, was looking at your SLH, as I've ordered them.
Are the ambient tents that bad? I've just ordered 1? Should I cancel the order? How bad are they??????
@gottagrowsometime,
Sry, English not great. Herd to understand, marmite?
OO, phew, good. Not so bad. 120x120x220 Ambient120+. And getting FC 480w. Am for sale in my country. Get from grow shop at 1/2 price from site cost.
@backatitagain1990,
Yeah, autos are like marmite, ppl either love em or hate em. Me personally like I like them. But am wanting to move into photos. I've boat load of seeds and I've sponsored seeds I have to run in August and they autos.
Can't go wrong with a bit of Super Lemon Haze. She's a multiple cup winner.. also ethos seeds have a SLH that they have used SLH from GHS and some stuff of their own to make for a more lemony profile.
Eh, it's not a bad tent, just put together badly. I'm putting it down to been so big. Like once you unwrap it, in no way can you fold it properly to put away. And I struggled big time putting it up. It took my 3hours to put it together and I nearly broke my back. The materials are good. Plastic connectors but they are industrial, you'd need a saw to get through these things, the zips are solid. It just looks like Jimmy White played a couple rounds of darts on it now. And the velcro strap you use to seal the end of the tent is a common thing with these, i'm not a fan, it gets blocked up with hair and dirt and struggles to close properly.. and leaks light from it. Few pin holes that weren't there when I got it, but not many, there was more holes by poor quality of fit.
What size did you get?
Hey there,
Thanks a bunch for growing our genetics, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a good one
I've done the same with AN in the past poisoned a few plants in my time with AN but I still stick with em, looking forward to the end result with the terra keep it up buddy
@Aldo90, yeah. I think I screwed mine. Most of the nutrients are meant 2 be kept at 10-20c and that is a hard thing to do all the time. Terra Power can be go 2 25c. Most my nutrients hit 23c. Now idk if the temp thing matters with all the nutrients but I know it does with the enzymes.
OOO. Great, am buying a Mars setup thanks for putting up the code.
Very nice diary, am an old school grower 1st time ill be using a led. Nothing like that when I started out.
