Back to basics - Big Bud Original

Day 8: Soil is still moist. No watering yet. ________ Day 9: First true leaves are looking not good. Will wait for the second pair and decide if it’s worth to go further with these two seedlings. Still waiting when the soil dries up a little bit to start watering with Voodoo Juice and Root Booster. ________ Day 10: Reduced DLI to 9,5 by advice of my friend. Will see how it goes in few days. ________ Day 11: Added oscillating fan to dry up soil faster. Also raised lamps, and increased power to keep the same DLI (10). That should increase VPD. Pretty sure the slow start was caused by overwatering and very low rate of evaporation in combination with VPD <0.9 kPa. Algae on surface. It’s still too early for watering. Looking forward to start treating seedlings with Voodoo Juice and Roots Booster. Will also add a layer of perlite. That should help with excessive moisture in soil. Worked well in previous grows. ________ Day 12: I’m not happy with the speed of these two seedlings, but I will fight for them. B-52 foliage spaying tomorrow. ________ Day 13: Foliar sprayed with 0.5 ml/l B-52. Watered both with 0.5L of solution with Voodoo Juice (2 ml/l) and B-52 (1 ml/l). First side shoots are coming out. They are getting better. Analysed the situation. I was using bad tap water (220 ppm) when making final flush of soil mix. Didn’t bother to check ppm again. Probably last 2 litres of such water caused all problems. Normally, my tap water is 40 ppm and it’s fluctuating after rains. I’ve no idea which salts got there. Also, extreme humidity didn’t allow the substrate to dry out at usual rate and I had to wait for so long to begin treatment. Thank god the seedlings didn’t die from my poor mistakes. Will think twice next time. ________ Day 14: Seedling on the left (#1) has a beautiful second pair of true leaves! Seedling #2 looking not that good, but I hope she’ll get better soon.
