If anyone is interested in my checksheet, also if any of the items seem too much or too little please let me know where I could adjust!
Check the Temperature & Humidity:
Ensure the temperature is between 68°F-77°F (20°C-25°C) and humidity is at the appropriate level (40-70% depending on growth stage).
Monitor the Lights:
Make sure grow lights are working properly.
Light cycle should be adjusted depending on the stage (18 hours light for vegetative, 12 hours for flowering).
Inspect the Plants:
Look for any signs of pests, nutrient deficiencies (yellowing leaves, spotting), or mold.
Check leaves, stems, and soil for any abnormalities.
Watering:
Check moisture levels by feeling the soil. Water if the top inch feels dry.
pH of the water should be in the range of 6.0-7.0.
Air Circulation:
Ensure fans and ventilation systems are working.
Check airflow to prevent mold and pests.
Weekly Checklist
Nutrient Feeding:
Depending on the growth stage, use the appropriate nutrients.
Vegetative stage: High nitrogen.
Flowering stage: High phosphorus and potassium.
Always check and adjust the nutrient solution’s pH (6.0-6.5 for soil, 5.5-6.0 for hydroponics).
Soil and Pot Check:
Ensure pots are draining well.
Check the soil condition for compaction, drainage, and root growth.
Pruning & Training:
Trim lower leaves and branches to increase airflow.
Train plants using techniques like low-stress training (LST) or topping to maximize yields.
Check for Pests/Mold:
Use magnifying tools to thoroughly check for spider mites, aphids, or mold.
Apply organic pest control methods if needed.
Change Light Cycle (if needed):
Adjust lighting schedules when transitioning between growth stages.
Flush the Plants:
If you are in the flowering stage, a weekly flush with plain water (no nutrients) is often recommended to avoid nutrient build-up.
