WHITE CRITICAL EXPRESS (KALASHNIKOV SEEDS) FEMINIZED - ATAMI WILMA EXPANDED CLAY ONLY
Hi everyone, I purchased this Wilma drip system, but I water manually.
Unfortunately the seedlings are recovering after having suffered a shock of over fertilization and incessant continuous water, which is why I am now watering manually.
- The PH at the beginning was 7.8 while the EC was 1.8 so the values were too high.
The drip system was turned on day and night at maximum therefore after 2 weeks some problems occurred, which I resolved by lowering the PH values to 5.8 and the EC to 0.78 from the 3rd week, the humidity to 65% and the seedlings magically recovered and re-established.
- As regards fertilization... at the beginning I also administered Dutch Formula Bloom and grow so the plants suffered another shock perhaps due to having produced a high quantity of "bloom" in the vegetative phase. Now that they are recovering from the shock I am administering only the "grow" every 5 days.
- Regarding the ZEUS LED lighting, I lowered the lamp to 60cm with 3 bars, so only 300W.
That's all, if there are other problems... I'll report back!
Hi everyone, let's start this week by saying that the seedlings are growing well but they are always hungry. This week maybe I'll start defoliating the yellow ones underneath, I don't want to apply stressing techniques, I want to let them grow without overly stressing them, just some small defoliation on the larger plants.
The PH and EC are stable, the humidity always the same.
The roots are white and have reached the holes to find water and nourishment, there are many roots in the tank, the air pump transmits oxygenation, I change the water every time it reaches the surface of the tank. In case I have any problems this week I will update... so far they seem in good shape.
Hi everyone, this week I inserted another 100W LED, now they are 400W, I will proceed with a nice defoliation and increase the PH to 6.0-6.2 and EC to 1.5, the ventilation together with the humidifier turned on every 36 minutes, oxygenation of the air pump always on, that's all for now. I'll update the photos!
Hello everyone, today I started defoliation, intensive defoliation, the plants are doing very well, then I administered the fertilizers, I logically increased the dose for the growth of the seedlings.
pH 5.9
EC 1.72
Hi everyone, this week I started FLOWERING, I defoliated the plants again, intensive defoliation for the 3rd time, the plants are doing very well and have not suffered the stress of defoliation at all, in fact they have tripled. I started administering bloom and bloom+grow accelerator and enzymes.
Next week I will start inserting the extractor for a good constant exchange of air and the dehumidifier if needed.
PH 6.2
EC 1.90
Good week, today I defoliated and pruned my seedlings, to prevent excessive humidity which in the future would lead to the formation of mold in the lower part of the shoots so I had to prune them, also to increase more energy in the upper part of the apical shoots, more ventilation, oxygenation and vitality.
The pH and EC humidity levels are stable.
Hello everyone, after much defoliation and pruning, we have reached the pre-flowering phase, these buds are only 1 week old. In the pre-flowering phase I administered advanced silica, very complicated to administer at this stage, never overdo it with silica, I administered advanced silica with other fertilizers and it works perfectly! That's all, I'll keep you updated.
Hi everyone, today I defoliated and pruned the plants again and administered all the nutrients it needs. The Ph is 6.0 and the EC 1.75.
Today I will defoliate under the plants again.
I remember everyone that defoliation and pruning is very important for plants, for the assimilation of nutrients and energy, if you don't defoliate the plants you will get almost nothing, this advice is for those who practice indoors. DEFOGLIATED DEFOGLIATED AND DEFOGLIATED!
Hi everyone, this week I started to increase the dose of fertilizers and little by little also that of the pH. The buds are not swelling as expected, perhaps there is little space between one plant and another, but... better to be patient in some cases, you never know... I'll keep you updated
Hi everyone, have a nice week this week, the tops are getting fat and some of the upper leaves are starting to turn yellow but... you can't see much. I increased the pump power and increased the mineral fertilization. The pH 6.0 and the EC 1.95. The plants are doing great. I also increased the ventilation.
Hello everyone and have a good start of the week.
PH 6.0
EC 1.60
For the moment everything is fine and the buds are swelling, temperature and humidity stable.
