What a disaster of a start. So i was way over feeding, way over saturating nutrients and I reused some Coco Coir and stones from a previous grow that totally over concentrated my nutes. I ended up washing like 500L over them.
I started not knowing a good timing schedule, but its now once every 30m for 1 minute.
I had to add cup cutouts to the plants as the mist was so hot (nutes wise) that it would burn them on contact. This has effectively saved this grow, however they are weeks behind.
I would guess that i will get 25% of the yield i should.
I will see what I can recover :)
Not much to report this week. This experiment has taught me plenty of lessons about this method. I suspect this crop will be a pretty large loss. The soil is too hot given the amount of left over wash from previous grow, the new seed was doing real well early in the week, but as it reached out and grew roots it just food nutrient burn :|
One of the initial seeds (front left) has already started to enter flower phase. I suspect it will start to thrive a bit better , as it nute requirements will go up.
So this experiment is going terribly! LOL
This ulitmately taught me a few important things about this sytle of growing.
1.) My Frequency was way to high in the beginning. When i start over next, i will be going for 1 hr -> Spray for 1 min -> Wait 1hr (Repeat)
2.) Never reuse hydroton or CC. It ends up having left over material and nutes in it, which not matter how much you wash just make the soil a land mine of nutrients etc.
3.) Do no use rockwool cubes inside the medium, they hold onto water for too long leading to rot.
4.) Fill the buckets up right until about 2cm short of the nozzles that spay. Otherwise you lose too much water and nutrients to the misting, which spreads your nutes all over the enviroment.
Ultimately, even though this is a living disaster, I have learnt valuable lessons, and who knows, some of them still might produce smokable flower!
