First time I'm using air pots. I always empty the trays with runoff water (if there is any) and I noticed the roots on the bottom side.
They seem rather long? I was under the assumption they would be 'air pruned'?
I don’t grow in airpots myself but I understand how they work. If the long roots are only on the underside of the pot, that's fine... they just haven't been exposed to the air and therefore haven't been "pruned" ... none of them, however, should be seen growing wider than the diameter of the pot ... in other words, I'm sure you're not seeing them creep out from under the pot when it's sitting on the tray. They're actually getting pruned when they TRY to grow wider than the pot - you just don't notice it!
(And btw DutchDoobie, when your profile says you’ve got 4 diaries and one is mushrooms, one is a building project, one is a one-week harvest “report” and the other one show plants growing in ordinary plastic pots, you really shouldn’t be lying to this grower… just tell them you know how the airpots work and explain it!)
Good luck with the grow Jezbong,… looks great so far!
Redid the wires on the gorilla cookie to reposition the branches. Gave this one a little bit more Bio flower compared to others. She's starting to drink more.
Two widows are staying small with tight nodes again.
Blueberry is doing well.
Lamps are higher for more/better spread.
Bad start of the week or end of last week, not sure..
The middle cob led died so had to order some new lights.
Also having a lot of issue's with fungus gnats. The fly traps are packed :/
Update: Fugnus gnats are getting a big problem. Guess it is because of the pots. Hung some sticky traps and ordered nematodes.
Update; nematodes arrived and have been added to the pots. Also gave them another feeding.
New equipment has arrived so will probably install tomorrow
Update: new grow room installed! they seem to like their new home.
New week starting in the new setup.
They still seem to getting used to it. Lights are at about 75% currently
Seems like the GC is having a deficiency. Going to add some cal/mag.
Update: increased the light intensity by 10%
Update: still nt sure what's wrong with the GorillaCookie. I'm stillguessing Calcium or magnesium deficiency. Possibly potassium?
I tested the PH earlier and it was rather high at 7.3, so watered with ph lowered water till run off was at about 6.5
Cal/mag bottle will come in tomorrow. Will check again tomorrow, but will probably give a little anyway.
Maybe a little overfeeding? or lights too strong? Lower leaves and other ladies (BB) is showing some signs too.
So I've asked before if it was a magnesium deficiency on the GC and got confirmation based on the early pic, but now I'm starting to wonder if it is? Buds don't seem to fatten up either. Maybe calcium or potassium? Lights too strong? Overfed? Shouldn't have given Vega just flower
i told you last time, i am telling you now again - pH
make sure you put it right, re-calibrate your meter
small rusty spots and yellowing with pinky stem started on top - ph issues, roots are fucked. it started at top cola and progressed down , yes ????
let them dry out and bring a bit higher ph, do first two waterings at 6.5 with light calmag added, not more than 0.5 ml/l
Happy Growing !!!
Still struggling with the GC. Can't get the ph down. Waiting for the soil to dry and flush again.
edit; soil slurry test with top soil was 6.4ph
Others are looking good tho :)
