WEEK 3 - 28/10/2022 - 3/11/2022
1/11/2022 - Left the plants for 5 days with the automated watering and they seem to love it! They grew so big, I had to transplant today. Mixed 50/50 coco/perlite and used 3 gallon fabric pot. Did a little adjustment with the drip irrigation. Rather than just one outlet for each plant, I split it into 4 outlet for each plant. This way the medium would be fully saturated without any dry spots. Perhaps I should add wetting agent for better water permeability. Tested it with a stronger water pump and worked perfectly. Prior to transplant, sprinkled a little mycorrhizae and top covered with hydroton clay pebbles to avoid algae growth from frequent fertigation. All 6 plants were growing well and it was difficult choosing the final 4. Finally went with two plants with wider internodal space and another 2 plants with tighter internodal space. Let's see how they different the growth would be until harvest. So far so good and I have a good feeling about this grow. :)
2/11/2022 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the following:
Si - 1ml/gal - 10ml
CM - 5ml/gal - 50ml
Mic - 2.25ml/gal - 22.5ml
Gro - 2.5ml/gal - 25ml
Blm - 1ml/gal - 10ml
HG - 2ml/gal - 20ml
pH - 6.23
EC - 0.95
3/11/2022 - Did first watering with the new irrigation system, and it took about 5:30 to get roughly 20% runoff. As this is the first watering so the amount is more. As i increase the frequency of fertigation, the amount should be less each fertigation.
