after 48 hours 4 of them germinated. I hope the other 2 will come within the next days.
For the germination I have used 50 ppms of calmag to adjust the unstable pH of deionized water.
placed the light at 60 cm 50% dimmed.
remaining two seeds still not sprouted.
using the new app called photone to measure ppfd much more accurate than before. I adjusted it around 150 ppfd.
last week i placed 2 seedlings of sunset sherbet and one critical auto versions in the tent. they gonna go another place next week and germinated 2 seeds of blueberyy kush auto from nirvana seeds to replace those 2 afghani that did not sprout. other than that the pots are still wet from initial preparation almost two weeks ago. so i dont really water my plants first two weeks at all. Biobizz states that we should flood the lightmix soil before planting to activate it. because of that im not giving any more water for at least two weeks besides the humidifier. im open to any ideas.
hi these are my afghani girls. germinated 2nd of october. first watering 2 weeks later 1.5ml bio grow 4ml root juice 2 ml bio heaven. I only watered one time and they become like this. they could look nice to you there is something strange that i cant describe. light is 200 ppfd
Once?! She need water absolutely! Give them water to male the whole pot wet, than water a little every time the first 2-3cm of soil dry :) for example 250ml every 2-3 days like me :) Happy growing
And, keep attention to not give too much N, it cause P deficiency (Red stems) you can use 1-1 ml grow and Heaven or maybe only 2 grow :)
entering week 4 watering 2-3 times a week. try not to exceed 1.5 ml of bio grow. lights around 33 DLI. I see some pistils but its still vegetative to me.
Blueberry Kush at day 25. I watered her 3 days ago 1.5 liter now she feels almost dry but looks happy. Should I water her or not? im having issues about best time to water. should I wait her to droop? i started having problems due to watering after switching to biobizz nutrients.
Thats what you want is a wet/dry cycle in soil. The easiest way is to feel the weight of the pot to determine how much water is left.
No you don't want to wait for her to start drooping, that is to late and will have a negative impact.
Happy Growing
I discovered that my plants dont like more than 500 umols for 18 hours. I had to dim one of the boards to 40%. Now current draw is around 350w.
Buds started smelling so good.
Hi there! Last week I discovered that plants were very droopy. It was end of the day cycle so I dimmed the lights around 400 ppfd. Normally I would give easily 700-800 for 18 hours. Why is that happening now. Is it that my co2 ppm is very low? is it genetics?
More than one factor impacts how much light a plant can receive per day (DLI - daily light integral) -- Temps and atmospheric CO2 being 2 large ones,
If it was only for the last little bit of light cycle, i wouldn't worry too much but keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get progressively longer, then feel safe
If it was droopy AF for hours before lights out, i'd consider riasing lights, dimming or reducing hours per day (no fewer than 15, if photoperiods). One, a combination, it doesn't matter too much
FWIW, 700-800 PPFD over 18 hous is too much without increased CO2 and a tightly controlling environment to match optimal feed to increased metabolism or some of that extra co2/light will just be wasted. 800ppfd over 18hrs is 51.8 DLI. 700ppfd over 18hrs is 45.4DLI - still probably 10-20% high,
So, i would guess you have droopy plants for a couple hours or so?.
if i am right, reduce hours or raise lights. It does not take much distance to affect DLI at canopy (inverse square law). If you run lights at night, reducing total length while providing same DLI does not negatively impact yield... common sense .. 1-to 7ish hours/day light-torching it will not work i'd guess, lol, and 24/0 has some less deadly drawbacks too. Anyway, these 2 otions are better than dimming in bloom. I'd rather spread teh photons out more (raising) or just run shorter period of time per day than reduce photons emitted by the light (dimming). It may be only slightly more wasteful and what isn't absorbed by walls only benefits the lower areas.
With ambient CO2 and an autoflower on 18/6, start at 35-40DLI (referencing table is 550-600ish PPFD) and then fine-tune from there based on observing plants. They always have the final say. 16/8 cycle would be roughly 40DLI with 700ppfd, for example. Might need 1-2" of extra height at 40ish and possibly a bit more of an adjustment than that..
it was all perfect by the end of week 7 last week all afgani girls started showing weird signs. i saw tip burn and plain watered but they become worse. maybe it started after i reduce calmag because it was finishing. i think its the problem here. pistils become red last week..
More food = happy plants

Cheers,
its hard to determine how much nutrients to use as organic are not measurable with an ec meter.
this week checked runoff ph and ec. there no build up just the ph is a bit high
ph raised too much. i think it was because of the microbes product it always raised the ph when i added. stopped using it.
%5-10 amber. gonna chop afghanis in two weeks i guess.
Hi friends, currently im getting closer to the end of my second biobizz grow and first time using microbes. first grow was very well this grow around week 8 multiple deficiencies appeared it was due to high pH. im stronly suspecting that this product is the reason. not using anmy
Lot of good information here,
I suspect the PH is higher to help persevere the microbes in the solution. I have heard from quite a few people that BioBizz when mixed up with gradually drop in PH over the course of a day. also I doubt there other products are that high in PH, so if one is high and rest are low its not going to matter as they will nullify that effect.
One sure fire way to confirm this is to use a PH pen and test the after math of mixing it up, or its runoff from the pot. A EC pen is also a good investment to confirm you have the feeding concentration at a level you want it.
In short your plants look great and I don't think this is a cause of your problems. Given its only showing up this later into flower I would ingore it and enjoy the harvest that's about to come.

Best Of Luck!
just had a plant do the same its a P/k deficiency. plants tend to show purple veins on stalk and purpling like burns on leaves when P is deficient it also has drying of edges like a K deficiency so i would assume its deficient in both P/k. mine fixed it by adding some Canna pk13/14.
Had a look thru your diary that plant started going deficient from week 4 it started yellowing and burning. weeks 3-6 are where it will need the most and is where many think they are over feeding but in reality they are staring them.
as sad from what i see i would up my pk boosters a the purpling stalks always indicate a P def unless its genetics,
besides the ph fluctuation in flowering it was all good very healty growing strain. respond very well to LST and smells dangerous. not an innocent plant.
