Second week of Seedling Stage.
11/10/22 Seed started in damp paper towel.
11/15/22 Transplanted to pod.
11/20/22 Transplanted to cup.
11/30/22 Topped.
12/3/22 Transplanted to grow pot.
12/3/22 Placed in tent. Looks healthy.
The next three waterings were to keep substrate moist, not saturated.
12/5/22 .25 gallons of RO.
12/7/22 .50 gallons of RO water with .25 tsp of Recharge.
12/9/22 .50 gallons of RO water with .25 tsp of Recharge. Topped plant. Raised light to 12 inches. Increased light intensity to 75%. Increased light time interval to 17 hours.
12/12/22 Raised light to 14 inches.
12/14/22 Watered with 1 gallon RO and light nutrients per FFs Feeding Schedule along with Cal/Mag and Manganese. Only 3 Tsp for Big Bloom and the rest at suggested amounts.
IN
PH 6.09
TDS 655
EC 925
OUT
PH 6.04
TDS 3140
EC 4400
A little surprised at the runoff numbers as they are very high. But this should make sense considering FFs OF is hot to start and the previous waterings were not large enough amounts to result in any significant runoff, therefore resulting in the first real runoff of any kind.
12/18/22 Watered with 1 gallon RO and Cal/Mag 1Tsp and Manganese. 50 Tsp.
IN
PH 6.12
TDS 425
EC 599
OUT
PH 6.14
TDS 5100
EC 7190
Again with the high runoff numbers. I calibrated my meter, as these numbers are still so high. I will call customer support on Monday to troubleshoot if my meter is defective. For now I will just record the information.
Vegetative Stage will begin on 12/20/22.
I will increase light intensity and feeding schedule slowly over the weeks until I get to full vegetative stage.
For now I am using 50% light intensity at close proximity and using nutrients sparingly. I have FF nutes on the way that I have never used before. I decided to follow FFs feeding schedule and committed to almost all available resources they offer. This will be new to me so I will follow feeding schedule very carefully.
Quick note: GD does not offer a Seedling Stage so the week numbers will represent vegetative stages only, except the first week which will include all Seedling Stage notes.
I intend to record the weeks my plant grows a strong root zone/system and call it the Seedling Stage. After that stage I will record the Vegetation Stage, where the plant really starts to grow above the soil or root zone/system.
says you went from lockout/pH issues then dumped a whole shit ton of water through it...
probably a combo of overwatering along with the fact lockout/pH issues don't resolve overnight even when you have fixed the resting EC of substrate or rez etc (same basic concept). Looks like Ca is having an issue, but more likely from the previous lockout issues you mention in weekly comment
so, when you ahve a problem don't dump 10 gallongs through it. If severe, just give plain water with a good amount of runoff. this alone will significantly drop EC.
Stop buying flushing agents.. they are retarded and usless. water alone is enough to drop EC.
If not severe, simply give what you beleive is a reduced concentration that will average out to a normal level.... make sure there's runoff. This is easier if you know previous levels fed. this is more difficult in a soil context to know with any precision, but can be an option when the problems are small and slow moving -- indicating things are not far off.
also, is this just a few isolated leaves at bottom? if so it'll probably not get worse as long as you don't run 10gallons of water through it in 1 day. ontop of lockout from before now you have a dysfunctional root zone until it can recover with very low o2 levels from drowned roots.
I have a couple bags of FFOF in my grow room supply cabinet and three bags of perlite, fine, medium and course.
I am thinking that after I use up the FFOF, that I will switch to Cana Coco Coir Bricks.
Okay bring it on...I am ready for your suggestions and comments. Let's go!
Wash that shit and then give it a soak in 1.5EC standard veg solution is usually what I’d use.. helps neutralize the CEC so it’s not robbing your plant of nutrients when you feed.
So I usually rinse it a few times, then do a 24 hour soak in the solution.. then rinse once more just to get most of that off and you’re good to go. Love coco personally. Put some fine and course in the coco once it’s primed.. I like to layer an inch or so of super course in the bottom of all my containers then fill with the coco.
@love_2_grow,
Your grows are not suffering from your laziness. But, yea...I am just trying to get better and hey the seeds are free until I run out, lol. With your success you don't need any help! So thanks for jumping in and sorry to hear about the light and scrog experience. I am not ready for it but am taking the plunge.
New picture? If it's that bad just dump it and start anew. Flowering takes a long time then there's harvest/trimming/curing all for some light airy leaf clusters that kinda have some buds mixed in... (I know from personal experience, Lol)
@@David369,
Yea, I get it.
Not sure, but she us coming back and flowering surprisingly well. I'm of the opinion that this strain is not easily grown for a newbie. She reacted poorly to the same DLI the other plants received. She responded poorly to the watering schedule the other plants received. She responded poorly to the feeding the other plants received. So, I just adapted to her needs. If she continues on the path of healing and thriving, I will take her to harvest. If not, then I will feed her to the rabbits.
