Cali OG/Amnesia Haze & Blue Cookies 1st

hey man you want to have them turned on asap, just wait until they are rooted first and then it's off to the races ! Now would actually be a good time to turn them on - go for it ! good luck , great set up, will follow along ! dassit 🚀

Awesome. Just cut my Cali's down myself. Looking forward to the review.

The science behind the fact you can have problems with the res... this comes from experience and hours of research! It all has to do with the nature of the bacteria. Certain strains of bacteria and fungi are present everyday, you could go into the supermarket touch something bring it home to you’re lovely clean and healthy garden, and if you’re environment gives the fungi or bacteria chance to multiply and infect your grow space well to be frank you’re fucked. I had root rot caused by an infection in the res. I added boosters and flavor inhancer called terpinator. Then my res temp exceeded 20c in the summer. Due to the Cyanobacteria being an aerobic, by giving it air I actually caused it to grow... however I wouldn’t stop using an air stone or sufficient air pump as anaerobic bacteria infection is far worse thing to have. I could write for hours giving you advice about how I use my system but ultimately you’re going have to see what happens for you. Of course you may have no problems at all. But if you’re adding any form of H202 I’d advise to stop especially if you’re using a form of benneficial bacteria... I’m sorry but I won’t be reading the label for all those nutrients you’re using so your knowledge will help you decide what to do. If you are using h2o2 scrap that and add benneficial bacteria (microbes) instead. I’ll just let you know how I use them. And how others do too with success. Me personally I hand feed till week 4-5 making sure there is a nice size on the plants. Then I start using the res to bottom feed. In the res goes the base nutrients and Calmag only NOTHING ELSE I keep the res clean and clean the filter weekly, get some filter foam for fish tanks cut it up and replace monthly. Essentially everything else goes into the tray. So I make a batch of additives plus a benneficial bacteria tea and add that to the tray. How I do that is... come home from work turn off the valve to the trays so no more water is coming in wait till they all dry to the point where the floats are closing the aqua valve then add 400ml to the tray itself. If all your nutrients and liquid form this is perfectly fine and you shouldn’t have any clogging issues as the mixture never enters the piping. Hope this helps you or anyone else using them if you do come to some difficulties👍🏼

Thanks for asking :-) Once I transplanted them into the 2L pots I made the mistake of upping the PPM on my nutes and adding a few nutes that were meant for vegetative stage. They were also placed under the LED for their 1st 18 hour cycle under the lights. The next morning I experienced very, very slight nute burn on 2 of my 6 seedlings Little ones were not ready for a higher PPM yet. It was too early. I flushed them all right away yesterday morning with straight water (distilled) and put them back in the tent....since then they have been through 1 night and 1 day cycle....NO MORE NUTE BURN OCCURRING!😀 These were also on the first set of true leaves, nothing showing on the second set that are growing. ***Update.I just checked on them again now and they are booming. I posted a picture of the nute burn....

Adoreable setup............ and have fun with the dark devil,,, shes abig eyecatcher...smeller and tasty

Have you filled the res yet?

Yes, I’d recommend you either get them under stronger light or get them closer to your existing lights. If you can’t bring the lights any lower you may be able to raise the tray instead. You can also bury the plants lower in the soil when you transplant into larger pots. Good luck 👍

Ok, seen it. First at all wowo great setup......!!!!!! Very well prepared. lovely. Buuuut your "seedlingsstation " lacks" some light. Do you have one more of those small Lamps i think its between 25-50 watts. that not enough for the lil ones. Option one is one more small Lamp Option 2 is difficult^^........can you slow down the output of you big lamp to maybe 100 Watt=? or 200 If yes do that and put the girls on a tray and rise them up to 15-20 cm but pls very carefully

Nice job on the training ;)

Hi @DKBJJ! Well, my guess is that those babies suffered from heat and too much humidity in the air. Do you measure the temperature inside or outside the dome? For your information, domes are made for clones, not for germinating seeds. Seedlings don't need high relative humidity, they might even stop growing in a constantly wet environment. Now about your light, yes you can use the 900W LED, just make sure the plant<--->light distance is safe and double-check that your apical summits are not getting too much heat (hand test). Finally, if you don't want them to stretch anymore, you may consider using a tiny fan. A slight continuous breeze helps in building strong (and non-stretchy) stems. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Update: Day 18 - Pictures above. ***One of my 3 Blue Cookies plants is smaller than than the two other Blue Cookies. Cali OG Amnesia Haze X all look good. TROUBLE SHOOTING: Temps Good, Humidity at constant 60%. LED 900 Watt Lights @ 36" from plants. Watering Daily at first lights on. PPM Runoff under 300. PH at a solid 6.2. All other plants seem fine so I am hestitant to change anything. Hoping perhaps I just have a dud......

Congratulations!!!! very nice ones well done

Looking wonderful good job fella!👊🏻

Lookin very nice ...."glitzerig"...<------------bling bling baby

Good Job, nice Flowers

I just read that long post back and realised that I missed you don’t actually need to add anything to the trays at all as long as what your putting in the res is not organic. Or any form of sugary carbs or h2o2. H2o2 kills everything good and bad, so by adding it with any form of bennies (beneficial bacteria and fungi) your wasting money as they are being killed by it hope thats clear. Bennies to the res will fight off anything in the res. The reason I don’t add something like voodoo juice, hydroguard or any other Bennie is because I’m tight. If you want it easy and expensive by all means I would advise you to get something like that to pour in with your other nutrients. I personally like making a tea it’s a hell of a lot cheaper but that’s just me.

Your training is great! My advise you to do some leaf tucking and when 1 branch really stretches past the rest try to restrain it rather than making any dramatic new bends✌️🏻

How do the lil ones do=?.... coming nice=?

Good luck with the grow ;)

Transplanting into 2L pots Tomorrow. Roots are coming out of the bottom now...
