Lots of growth again. Started feeding 4ml per gallon of Advanced Nutrients Base Micro/Grow/Bloom. Cal/Mag at 1/4tsp per gallon. Finding the right watering schedule has been challenging. The soil worries me so much that i’m going to over water. I wish I knew to add extra pearlite to it from the beginning. I gave them btwn 4-5 cups of water every 2-3 days but once i went 4 days bc i gave 6 cups and it didn’t dry out fast. I started pointing my fan at the pots to help them dry quicker after I water. Im also worried about how bushy the NL is. I decided not to do any LST bc I’m new. I opted for tucking some leaves to expose bud sites. They still look decent i think? Lol i have no idea tbh. I added an oscillating fan and bumped the air filter up to lvl 5. I have been using the paid version of the Photone app which has been amazing for dialing in the lights. As a first time grower, it’s been a struggle to learn but trial and error is teaching me. When the Sweet ZZ looks droopy, i think it was the lights. I raised them a little and changed them to 75% and 100% I think it didn’t like the full 100%. It could also be when I was struggling with how much water to feed. I tried to learn from others journals which is why I decided to make mine. Hopefully by documenting my mistakes, other new growers will learn with me?
Thanks for all of the positive support! I need it lol every decision I make, I fear may be the wrong one. Getting into the crucial period of the plants I hope they don’t suffer too much.
