Week 4 and her lateral branches are all evening up! Looking at other FastBuds diaries, I was expecting to see some flowering tips this week. However in 25 liters of coco so I'm thinking roots are still priority, and I aint mad at it. Nutrient levels are a bit deceiving. A pot this size will need gallons for a proper leech, and I just don't have the means to remove the runoff at this point. Therefore, nutrient levels in the substrate are higher than whats going in. A coco quirk. Also probably not ideal, as toxic imbalances may develop. I will soon straiten out irrigation; more on that to come. Oh and to give credit where it's due, these nutrient levels are coming strait from a fantastic grower, NebulaHaze, who has an awesome project online with free info on everything cannabis cultivation!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I actually thought at this point I wasnt leeching enough while watering. My nutes were building up in the coir and despite using fairly low strength, I thought I was seeing nitrogen claws. Run off PPM was constantly higher than input. I cut it lower and lower, this would turn out to leave her pale and sad. Whatever the case, I give it to FastBuds DNA for her chugging along. I'll fix the irigation problem by adding a drain res. and grabbing a drill pump so I can push more water through this puppy without sitting for hours with a turky baster!
Loving the grow and its inspiring me to set my own up for the first time. I'm setting up my first 2x4 grow tent in the coming weeks. Im worried about temperature control in the tent how do you deal with that?. Also, do you mind sharing your tips for ventilation? Specifically where do you run you vent out to. Is it dangerous to vent the air from the tent into an apartment room? Does it need to go outside the apartment the be safe? Thanks again
