With tips everywhere, she's filling out and bolting up to make space for buds this week. To start off I wasn't giving my coco enough water to properly leech it. When I realized last week I may have buildup problems, I began feeding with weak nutrients and flushing the pot with lots of water. This knee jerk response left her lime green, droopy, and hungry. As a revamp to my watering regime, I got a drill pump and a 10gal 'under-bed' tote. I drilled some holes in the tote lid and put my veggies on top of it. This lets me store almost a week of runoff before pumping it out with a drill. For now, I will try feeding transition nutes at a slightly more aggressive rate, but water first with a gallon of PHd tap water. Lights are at 350W. The drill pumps too slow, and there isn't enough space to pour. So for now I am using a 4ft piece of garden hose to water my plants from 1gal jugs via siphon.
@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
