My goal: grow that topshelf goodness of Love.
Tips always welcome.
Lights:
I use Hortilight CMH 315w for 5 little gals, right now the wattage is on 145w as the lamp is quite close to the plants. Seedlings are quite small with their little leaves so I will increase the wattage when they go into veg with more nodes.
Soil: 70 coco 30 perlite because I want the roots to receive plenty of oxygen for a well established development.
I tend to water them a little bit at a time 250 mL/12 hours.
Pots:
The pots I use are smart pots with 11L. 20 hours of Light.
Lightbulb:
is Philips CMH 315w 3100k for flowering.
Watering:
Ph 6.2-6.1, EC/PPM unknown as of 19-04-2024.
Right now I use: first watering for Seedlings, I will up the dosage once the plants got their true leaves but I do not want to underfeed the plants due to coco coir having 0 nutrients. I will add magnesium-sulfate soon.
Canna Rhizotonic 2 ml/L
Canna Coco A 1 ml/L
Canna Coco B 1 ml/L
These will increase overtime to the feeding schedule as provided by Canna as the plants get older.
Temp: 22 *C so I hope it gets warmer but the light is recently on.
Humidity ranging between min 52-72 max but currently 65%.
All of them germinated and as the madman I am I tried to remove the seedshells manually as I thought that would speed up the process a little.
Air humidity is high but for these seedlings I think its good and I will lower it when they go into veg.
I will give them more nutrients once I see they need so including Magnesium-Sulfate.
I increased the light to 245w as the seeds became leggy in the first few days running at 145w realizing that I could not raise the plants close to the lamp as the lamp was at its lowest setting.
I am running nutes at 0.5 strength increasing it to 0.75 strength in week 2 and full strength at week 3.
Progress of the plant seems natural albeit a bit slow, regardless the plant is young so it would be silly to expect the plant right now to grow like crazy as it only has two sets of leaves. One still in development.
However I like that I see the plant grow everyday :)
Edit Edit Edit: Alright so humidity is high but I read that during the seedling phase which can be understood as week 1 - week 3, they do not mind it as much as veg-pre flower week 4 -5 and full flower week 6 to 10. Hence I am not happy that the humidity (75 - 76 % RH )is skyhigh but it is not the end of the world right now.
I tested ppm multiple times it is roughly 450 - 550.
Next times I will add mag-sul roughly 70 ppm per feeding.
Regardless, the plants look happy, their leaves are pointing towards the lamp which is a good sign, grow is steady and comparing my grow with others it seems my plants are on point for their time/age.
I am doing the followinf, obtain reservoir of water(tap) adjust ph to 6-6.1, read ppm (350) then I add nutes until 650 ppm. I do not want to overfeed plants as that might stunt their growth.
Grow seems alright. I have seen better and worse but for day 10 I do not think they are doong badly.
Looks good? Plants are Green and no deficiencies. They grow harder every day which is logical as more leaves can account for more photosynthesis.
If I rub the plants and smell my fingers it smell, herbal, sweet and slightly spicy.
I implemented the exhaust fan to keep humidity in 60% range. Plants look a bit sad because I moved the growtent and I didnt water them because I had to move the pots around. I do not want to make the house wet.
One show signs of pre-flowering. I hope they become large :)
my mistake: https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/ph-fluctuations
How I correct this in the future: get water, add nutrients, check EC, check PH.
I should find a list of where to EC values roughly per week.
Dear growers,
I think I have overfed my plants as the last watering I had quite high ppm. I use Canna Coco for Autos. My runoff is ph: 5.7 and 335 ppm. I recently flushed them to correct this. Ill do 0,5 x feeding schedule as a rule of thumb from now on. Any help and tips?
Your runoff ppm isn't very high and 5.7 is perfectly fine in veg for coco. You might wanna push it a little higher in flower. Is this just an issue on 1 leaf on 1 plant? If so don't stress it. Your diary Pic looks good.
Why u think its overfed? You can check several website and they all go for way higher PPM. I use soil, no coco and my PPM i feed is 600 and runoff is like 800, since is use plain water every second time. But you need little bit higher ones, because soil gives like +100-300PPM with the included nutrients.
I would go for 700PPM feeding in veg and up to 1100PPM in flower, runoff is always bit higher. You can check simple feeding shedules from nutrient-brands they give you an EC/PPM week per week.
"Coco feeding shedule "your favorite nutrient brand""
Plants looking healthy. After the mistake with the pH its first nutrients then pH
fudgin around with humidity, at day its alright, at night not so much
