Hi! I planted this seeds with the idea of entering the giveaway, but now I m more interested on these amazing plants who popped and grew out from the floor in just 72 h,I ve never tried any auto strain and all thge buds ive had on my hands comming from ruderalis strains have been dissapointing , but seeing some diaries here Im begining to feel impatient about what they have to show.
For this grow I will be trying the solux kappa cob leds ( 4 bars from 100w ), and the complete Royal Jelly nutrients spectrum, they strongly draw my attention at an expo, they have a full organic grow line including the silica,enzymes,calk and the budenhancer,all of it made me decided to try them (As user from the plant Im an organic grow zealot).
Entering the second week full of doubts, are they stunted? I transplanted four of them into 8 l airmax pot.Also a little bit of something similar to mold appeared on the seed shells (grey little hairs).Can it be the mycorrhiza?
I began adding Royal calk, cause i heard and readed that the autos need it since the begining(this one is susprisingly concentrated) and inoculatethe first time with the microbe photosynthesis plus,3 ml/l the first time and 1,5ml/l the next weeks along with a sugar application once a week in order to feed the microbes and fungi from the floor.
Here we go 3rd week, This is a completely unknown world for me, I have never grew any autos, but the actual results are prety cool,all off them are growing healthy,only 1 from 15 seems to be stunted.
From now Ill start to add nutrients to reach 1ms from the actual 0,7.I also will innoculate the soil again with the Royal mycro,and Royal zym in order to provide a healthier enviroment for the plants.I sprayed the Royal zym over the soil,mixing 0.2 ml with 0.05 ec water they enzimes are pretty cool cause they use bacteria who make the nutrients avaliable so quickly,also making phosphorus more avaliable all in one bottle,The ph was perfect (6.5) without need of boosting it in any way, but I prefere a lower ph at early stages so I added 0.5 ml/ L of Royal Ph.
Hi, it is my first time growing autoflowering strains, so I have a lot of questions, I ll try to reduce them to the fundamental one.
What increase on the nutrients amount is the correct?Im using a fully organic scheme.
Thanks all for your help,Have a nice month!!
Hello. First, I want to say both of the previous answers are correct. Deficiency can be caused by too much nutrients, and you do have signs of overwatering, however the most common mistake is incorrect ph. For soil, I agree with @ValhallasGarden that 6.5-6.8 is the range you need to dial in. This is most important.
Second, @Athos is right about letting the plants suck up existing nutrients from a nice, healthy potting soil. You should not need to add much nutrients in the first 4-5 weeks if you start with good soil. Then, you add small percentages of recommended nutrients and watch how the plants react. I have been guilty of going overboard with the nutes and using incorrect ph multiple times and it always turns out bad. Less is more with nutrients in soil. Good luck, and please pick one of the other guys as your grow answer, not mine. They provided the answer between both of them.
All right this week, but in this one I made a mistake that will cause several headaches for the next weeks,I hope that theres some reamaining hope.
Output Ec was 0,5 ms over the income water,Ph was right
The plants suddenly began to yellow,all of them with the exception of the little ones that I planted on the second week,I think maybe the reason could be overwatering, cause Im feeding them on low Ec for this week (1ms),also some stems turned purple,.Any help will be highly appreciated.
Ec output was 1,2 ms Ph 6,5
This week is being the hardest, some of the plants are improving their health but the others completly freezed his growing.The stems and lower branches are turning purple and dark red, leaves yellowing,surprisingly theyre flowering at a "normal" rhytm.I think that I overwatered them so I added an extra fan to move the air through the pots.
Ec output was 1.4 ms Ph was 6.5
My hope about this grow still alive,they are flowering nice,considering the troubles they have been through,the fruity smell who emanate from them is just glorious,nothing I have smelled before.I have considered that all the nutrients matter comes from mg defficiency and overwatering,since I changed those parameters all seems to be okay.Ec aoutput was so low only 0,2 ms over the income.Ph was a little bit lower 0.3 under the input.
Maybe they are not gorgeous or healthy at all, but if they taste can keep a reminiscense of their smell the effort will be far rewarded,I learned a lot about Leds and thi specific nutrient brands, and I hope that for the next one they will be higher numbers.Ill flush the substrate two times,first ont the day 1 and the second on the fourth day of the week and then let it dry until the harvest.
-Ec output on the first watter was 0.55 second was 0.20
-The ph output was 6.5 both times
Please can someone tell me tips for growing autos under led lights with soil? And maybe two of the best organic nuttes brands whos avaliable at europe? Thanks
hey mary, good question ! the newest lighting technology is basically what is called "fluence-like" lights, LEDs that can increase yield 30% from HIDs ! all the newest LEDs basically have warm white for veg and cool white for flower, so no more of these purple lights. what's the color of the sun? is it blurple ? anyway I'm getting some of these next gen lights from nalite in china http://www.gznalite.com/grow-light-bar/pl024.html check it out, see also @silverback_guerilla he shows these lights in his latest grow, and it's a very nice grow ! for nutrients i stay bio always, and i'm not using liquid fertilisers anymore, too much pressure and it's hard to control, just mixing some home made powder for veg 12,3,3 and powder for flower 3,10,10 into the soil then plain water with a cal mag +kelp foliar spray and some amino acids during end of veg and mid flower... see @mad_scientist latest grow on GD for the technique... it should be easy ! anyway i got some biotabs aswell and i'm just following their schedule because it's really easy and it works really well with some autopots, but autopots are not necessary... see @biotabsf69 thats the official account you can see how well and how easy it is. That's just my personal experience, hope this helps ! 🚀
The only negative thing about this harvest is that it has been reduced to minimalisn,less than 20gr per plant,not even close to the media,but it was possibly my lack of knowledge what provoqued this,anyway it was a positive experience,I ve learned from my mistakes,the next one will be completely different,also the strains will be tangie matic and pinneaple express.
