9/11 - 9/17
Week 1
So the first few weeks, I had a few things wrong and it took me a while to correct them. Here, I was using tap water right to the cube to hydrate. But it comes out around ~7ph. I thought I needed high 6 to 7~ for ph so I thought it was fine. Other issues were light intensity and too many nutes per feeding. But this is my first grow on an ebb and flow system I totally built from scratch, so there's a lot of learning for me to do. Also, I initially had 18/6 for light cycle and somewhere along the line I changed that to 24/0. For now it was 18/6
The roots grow through the net bucket and a mesh net I use for containment. Micron size too big, roots grew through. The mesh bag was a 2nd attempt at root containment. 3rd attempt will be very fine micron mesh screen. What could be a good way to deal with this?
They're gonna grow through the micron ones, too. root hairs are outgrowths of epidermal cells between 15 and 17 micrometers in diameter when fully grown. I wouldn't bother trying to contain them, rather solve clogging issues via other means
I have a problem developing and showing signs through this week. Looks like at least a calcium and a potassium deficiency in one plant and a another deficiency just starting in another. Not sure how to fix this. First 8 are one plant, last 2 are another. Photos taken over a week
Your pH is perfect... and even though you do seem to be giving them a lot of different nutes, I would suggest you increase the amount of your PK boosters... I'm seeing the start of a potassium deficiency... and since it's very hard to reach levels that would give you a toxicity of either potassium or phosphorus, I'd even tell you to double the amount of those...
Good luck!
Beautiful work man πͺπͺ getting frosty and there's so much more to come you're in for a treat with these terps ππ good luck with the rest of your grow π
@DabbertGlobberfield, thanks man yeah she was tiny haha π€£ was terrible weather was raining for months and we copped really bad flooding so she's the only one that survived was a good session worth once dried, if you've ever tried musk stick lollies it tasted like them but more intense almost like gassy citrus fruitloops haha only way I could describe it, it was so nice π I'll be following along with your grow man keep up the good work
@BarneyRumble420, Thanks so much! πͺ I saw your photo of the month Dec win, congrats! Then I saw you did GMP, too. I loved that little survivor flower baby. π
I really am looking forward to watching these girls develop further with colors. I am excited for the smells to kick in. They are so tame in their smell right now. I'm looking forward to comparing to your description ππ
@Herbies_Seeds, Thanks! I think it went well overall. I am really looking forward to growing some other genetics from Herbies. This was a great strain for my first time that helped me learn about the versatility of the plant.
Good stuff from my point of view. What press do you own? I have a shit ton of questions Iβd like to ask you but it seems youβre at the same stage as me. Itβs gonna be my first time bubble hash run myself. I got a larger press and was thinking bubble hash was the way to go til I read this lol. Maybe Iβll dm you so I donβt take up comment space, but then again itβs a way to build likes and others can learn from usβ¦
@FrontRowAG_BrianG, Lol, all good. Ask me anything. What do you want to know? I will answer pretty much anything. However, I have a grudge against the manufacturer of my press so I will not be saying the name of it as to not give any kind of press for them at all. But it is a premade press, probably midrange in terms of size.
Typically it's Silica first, CalMag second, then everything else third. Silica and CalMag are heavy and can precipitate the others out of solution. If I forget to add them, then I make sure to dilute beforehand.
