Going along well, difference in growth between the two is unusual. #2 looks a little sad, possibly overwatering it a little, #1 looking a lot like a hybrid while #2 looking more like an indica, hard to tell yet.
Sticking with 860ppm/1.6ec for now, will up nutrients once in bigger pots and on an automatic watering system.
Ordered an uva led lamp for flowering and an another led for both veg and flowering to increase the wattage to what I'm used to playing with, may have to lower the plants a little bit for the mean time, not much stretch happening, seem densely spaced so far, time will tell.
No cats or plants were harmed during photography.
06/07 - popped a temp humidity dome over #2, definitely not over or under watering it, could also just be a slow grower. Definitely surprising with the difference between the two, #1 really wants to prove something, growth on it is unbelievable. Hoping to setup the auto watering system and transfer to final pots tomorrow, unfortunately #2 is gonna have to deal with it. If they were similar in growth I'd leave them a bit longer but #1 is outgrowing it's space at an alarming rate.
Going to up the nutrients once settled into the bigger pots, #1 looks like it's going to need it, 3rd set of leaves is showing already.
07/07 - setup the reservior and auto watering system today, was going to transplant over to the larger pots but found a leak in one of the pots, waiting for it to dry to seal it.
Setup grow a&b @2ml per litre, found it strange I'm only reaching 780ppm with a 100L res, possible the res is holding more then 100L, put 5x 20L buckets in, will adjust ppm once ready to transplant
09/07 - Transplanted into final pots, both plants root systems looking healthy and well developed
Just wondering if such compact growth is normal with a DE globe, used to having growth a lot higher by this point, have had the ballast turned down to 60%, until this week (read week 4 comment for details). All previous grows I have used a mixture of single ended HPS and MH
with that bulb you need roughly 50w/sq foot in flower 12/12 schedule if i recall... so you need 2/3rds of that if running 18hours in vege... if you haven't been 'near' that estimate, even easier to eliminate or blame the light forthe cause.
if it was picked out to fit the area of coverage for a 12 hours of operation, then you need 66% of that for 18hours of operation.
Read up on daily light integral. it's teh proper way to measure this stuff... not watts.
