Just curious would you guys consider a window plant with (lots) of supplemental lights fans dehumidifier even extra co2 from my kombucha making kit near by indoor or greenhouse?
FYI it gets about 1 hour sunlight from east + 3-4 hours of sunlight from south west.
Indoor is a plant grown inside, generally in a tent or room with supplemented lighting.
Greenhouse is a plant grown in a greenhouse.
This is somewhere between the two, so I would not put it in either category.
How much light peaks through window? I know it cuts off a % but I know for a fact some light peaks through bc my plant points toward the sun.
FIY I have extra low spectrum lights fans and humidifier
Like Unorthodox mentioned. Download a free app for your phone and you can get a reasonable estimate.
Obviously which way the window faces makes a big difference. South facing to catch the sun is best but since you have trees and snow you're not getting a whole lot of light. Add in your short number of daylight hours and you'll be needing your grow light (whatever a "extra low spektrum" light is???) especially for autoflowers that can benefit from very long daylight.
I just checked and I get about 1'000 less PPFD through a dual pane window and screen than being outside which means I'm loosing over half of the light to the glass.
Has anyone ever used maple water from a maple tree as fertilizer for there plants? I traded my neighbor a nug for a gallon of sap water and lightly misted the soil top on my seedlings. FIY raw sap water is very healthy for humans it’s full of manganese + probiotics.
Hola. Nunca la he usado. Pero yo esperaria hasta la segunda semana para probarla. Ya que estamos en etapa plantula y es muy delicada como un bebe. Tambien probaria agregando a la dieta en partes pequeñan durante todo el cultivo. suerte
Growing well I gave it some worm castings at the bottom of the bucket which is know. As something called potted huegelmound. Added some oyster shells to add some slow release calcium. I experimented spraying the soil top with maple water and I think it helped. There seems to be some type of white substance on it but I believe it’s the oyster shells not powdery mildew but I will keep a close eye on it.
Well, given your conditions, it's certainly not mold - it looks like the leaves were flooded perhaps with water containing epsom salts or the oyster shells and it's residue from that... I don't think you have anything to worry about. You could take a clean, moistened tissue and try to clean the leaves off to see if the white stuff disappears... Try not to water the leaves themselves unless you're doing a foliar spray...
Good luck!
Is it safe to increase light intensity on this seedling yet? If not when would u increase light intensity? I have 1 main light on top and 2 side lights on it. I have 2 more side lights. I want to gradually add light from what I’ve heard. it get 50% extra natural light from window
Been I've no idea what lights you are using.
And your girls aren't stretching tells me your light is at the strength it needs to be.
500-700ppfd should be enough for your entire veg.
After she hits pre flower then turn them lights up. But as for now you can get her done on, this is just a guess 50-70% of your lights strength. You wanna keep the 100% of pre flower and so on
.
Good growing
Looking slightly droopy today as r a couple of the ones in the tent. Nothing too concerning but I know it’s bc of the low humidity from the woodstove. Keeps it at a constant 30% humidity. I just mist the soil a few times a day to keep it alive honestly
If anyone lives in central NY area I’d highly advise you check out greentree hydro and soil biocore trademark. They use my fav ammendments but my fav out of all of them is Biochar which has all sorts of benifits. I also like how they use more coco coir which is more eco friendly did a minimal amount of pruning and defoliation this week but you will notice it
Did some good slow pruning and defoliating taking off 2 leaves or 2 branches every other day. Gave it a locally made soil conditioner specifically made for cannabis plants in flower. For those of you in central NY check out green tree hydro store and check out there different bio soils. There bio all has given me almost 100% germination rate. The bio flower gave my autos a kickstart for flowering with an additional worm casting tea made of 2 gallons ph water, 2 handfuls worm casting, spoonful of alfalfa meal, spoonful kelp meal, 2 spoonfuls plain epsom salt, 2 spoonfuls unsulfured molasses(organic). Added an air stone and brewed it for 38 hours exactly. Got some good bubbles on it too. I don’t check the ppm or nutrient levels or whatever you super experts do. I just use dry ammendtments with either compost tea, molasses, or coconut water as a liquid nutrient. Keeps it more simple for me. Tbh I don’t even know what ppm stands for I’ll look it up after I write this lol
Did the final defoliation on this gal. We’re getting good sunlight this week which is great. It’s getting about 5 + hours of natural window light and about 17 hours of artificial light with about 450 watts of low spectrum lights from all views on this plant. I added a mini fan at the bottom of the plant in bc I’ve had some high humidity on Rainy days. I also use it only at night so I don’t overheat the fan just like all my other equipment
Try tentbuddy man. Free ppfd meter app for your phone.
Helps dial ur lights so ur not guessing how much power to give them ect . DLI and vpd calculators aswell.
Definitely helped me out with my new lights.
Best if luck !!
Many of y’all say growing in the window is a waste unless u have proper lighting.
I can tell you from experience that is bs. It gets about 1+ hours of eastern light
And 3+ hours of light from the west of sunlight. I’m giving it over 500 watts of these cheap low spectrum lights but any little bit helps. I grew strawberry pie by fast buds In the window with the same set up except one less light and wound up with over 1.5 oz. Check it it out I made a diary of it.
