So here I am starting a new grow report. I only did three (Edit: 4 runs) runs in my life, and they were all automatics. Now I am trying with photo seeds. Wish me luck. I will do no topping since I have little space in the tent.
First I presoaked the seeds for 2 days in water. Later I soaked rock wool cubes in 50/50 ROW/TW which had a pH of 5.4. I Prepared one week a go 40g of T.A. Silicate powder with 1,5l of ROW in a plastic Coke bottle and shook it 5-20 times a day. I let it rest for 2 days now and gave 100ml into the soaking solution. I also added 1 tip of tbs TNC Mycorr Hydro and Green House Feeding's Bio Enhancer into the solution. Plus some drops of 3% H2O2.
7 days later.
3g of Hakaphos Blau, 1/3 tsp TNC-MycorrHydro, 1/3 tsp BioEnhancer
Unfortunately Runtz #1 was found dead. the stem was broken and the seedling was weak laying on one side, leaves hanging down. And As I pushed the rock wool a bit away to c what is inside the stem fell down. Somehow it was broken. I don't know how this happened. But new Runtz seed is deployed. I call him now new Runtz #1.
EC: Beginning of the week @650µS end of the Week 750µS
PH: around 5,8
2. Runtz seed did not pop up after a week, So I decided to soak another Runtz seed, that germinated after 3 days. So I transferred it today to its location at the top right.
I saw that I used the wrong fertilizer Hakaphos Blue (15-10-15), which is for hard water. Next time I will use Hakaphos Ultra Soft (18-12-18) for soft water, or I mix them because my water is 3 parts tap water and only 2 parts RO water. Maybe this is why the leaves look somehow light green.
Since I put too much PH-Down I had to correct it with Kaisernatron (Sodium bicarbonate).
PH is between 5,5-6,5
EC is now @ 1,1mS
Edit: End of the Week I added Silic Boost from ATAMI 1ml/50l and 2g Hakaphos Soft Ultra.
14.11.2024 (3rd week after sowing)
Added today 2g of Hapakphos Soft Ultra and 1g of Calcinit mixed into 1 liter of tap water (0,750mS) = EC is now @ 1,3mS.
Some plants have brown spots that look like calcium deficiency. So, I added 1g of Calcinit. My tap water already has 104mg/l of Calcium.
I also do some LST to the plants.
The 3rd try of Runtz is 2 weeks too late. In my last grow, I also had Runtz, but from the company Seed66. There were also problems with this very strain.
In this run, one seed did not pop at all, one stem of the seedling was broken (maybe my fault I don't know) and one germinated very late with a slow growth rate.
PH: 5.5-6 (fluctuating)
EC: 1.23
PS: Fcuk!! I saw that Yara Liva/Tera calcinit has also Nitrogen of 15%. Didnt recognise that.
And yeah, I also had to switch the locations of the plants. The bubbler is not very powerful and has not much area covered.
Day 28 (4 Weeks) after sowing.
Unfortunately, the top 1/3 part of the Super Silver Haze's stem broke when I tried it to LST (was too much). But luckily it regenerates (I fixed it with a crepe band 2nd Photo).
2 days ago I added 5l of ROW with 5g of HaKaPhos Soft Ultra and 1,5g of Calcinit.
The PH was relatively stable this week, only today I had to correct it from 5,2 to 5.5 with a little bit help of Sodium Bicarbonate (Kaisernatron)
10l ROW during the week
15g---Hakaphos Soft Ultra 18-12-18 (2,4Mg)
1ml---ATAMI Silic Boost
3g----HansePepper Epsom Salt
3g----Liva (Terra) Calcinit
I also did foliar feeding with Epsom salt 0,5g/l
Low-Stress and also High-Stress Training (Supercropping) on some branches
Yesterday I added 40ml of H2O2 (3%) to give some Oxygen boost and some cleaning as well.
All plants except the little one were topfimmed.
I added 10l ROW during the last week with 10g of HaKaPhos Soft Ultra, 3g of Calcinit, 3g of Epsom Salt, and 1ml Silic Boost.
Tomorrow I will switch the lights to 12/12.
