Newbie Journal (1st Grow)

@EmeraldReverie, i thought you were using plastic now o see a piece of the fabric, so sorry is the same, the air pots are diferent but i dont know if is better or worse, i think is similar, i also use the cloth ones... cheers

@CANNASIM, Thanks so much for the recommendations. I'll look up that information right now. Are the smart pots better than the cloth pots that I'm using now?

@EmeraldReverie, hummm i see, it will live though 🙃 Its had to kill cannabis, we do a hole science of it but is a resistant plant,if you see yhe first week of my diary i coul make them go thru a damping off and i though everything was lost. Its always possible to start over if things go wrong. The coco i meant is coco coir, you can have like a fiber or powder, i prefere the powder... check the ref: http://www.growweedeasy.com/coco-coir Smart pots you have a textile one and a airpot that is full of holes, it allows more air thru the roots! Check on amazon... Good luck all the best

@Hansbud, The soil I am using is from FoxFarm, just says potting soil: (http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/index.php/item/happy-frog-174-potting-soil.html) The ceramic pot only has one hole on the very bottom. I'm thinking I'm probably going to transplant it tomorrow into the cloth pot I mentioned. I purchased the Sensi Grow versions. I mixed both of them together at 7.5ml each in a gal of distilled water. I'll also be re configuring the cabinet to accommodate the LED light I mentioned before (7-Band 2.1 Series 180 Watt LED). I got no other income to get something else that expensive.

@Hansbud, Thank you for critiquing! I was hoping someday someone would respond to my diary.I have this light waiting after the plant matures some if it isn't too far gone: http://www.htgsupply.com/products/7-band-20-180-watt-led-grow-lightThe reason why I don't use it now is that I used it for my tomato plants (young at the time and in soil) but the light seemed to have heat/light stressed them out (not really sure) because it was so powerful in my little closet so I didn't want to use it yet on this guy.The first error I did with the plant here is that I initially used alkaline water at the seedling stage. It looked like it was doing fine at first but then the leaves started to turn a very dark green and curling so I was afraid either two things: nitrogen toxicity or over watering and not getting enough oxygen to the roots. The dirt felt compacted. So I poked some holes around the root system to try air it out some.When I was trying to correct the ph levels the next week around I was using ph up & down but it was for hydro systems, not soil friendly. So today I ran out to get ph perfect sensi A&B and I watered it just now with the mixture. Waiting to see how it does later today if it perks up. It's not looking great. I'm wondering maybe there is still too much alkaline residue in the soil? But I'm afraid of trying to flush it out and end up over watering it. I would looooove some input. Thanks again for stopping on by. Going to take a picture in a moment. She's in a ceramic pot. I just got a cloth pot today but I think it's too weak for a pot transplant and I don't want to cause it more stress or should I do it anyways and just be really careful?
