Day 37 Week 5 update:
Not looking awesome.
Appears I have a root aphids or hopefully just soil mites “arthropods” and maybe thrips.. going to be fighting soil and plant pest.. :/
Update: went to store and grabbed Neem Max by Bonide, Alaskan Fish fertilizer
Got some yellowing so I added 1tbsp alfalfa meal top dressed for nitrogen boost.
Currently brewing a veg tea/ foliar spray.
About 2.5 gallons dechlorinated water
1 tbsp alfalfa meal
1 tbsp kelp meal
1 tbsp super fly insect frass
1 tbsp crab meal.
Half tsp molasses
Half tsp fish emulsion
Will feed/spay tea on day 39 (48 hr brew)
For veg tea.
Will spray plants foliage with NeemMax today (D37) to start fighting thrips or any pest.
Day 38 decided to feed with a bonide mixture. About 3-4 tbsp per 2 gallon split between the veg plants sprayed into soil and roots.
Aswell as a light spray for each plant in the flower tent although those plants seeem to be doing better I have yet to inspect. Wanting to keep areas as separate as possible while dealing with veg tent first.
Day 39 plants drank up the bonide mixture surprisingly overnight and feed the Veg tea about 40 hour brew. Looks prime time to use as well lots of bubbles indicating microbe activity. Also sprayed folliage with the tea and lights off for 15-20 to let leafs dry off first.
Also .. slight issue I’ve been measuring my umol incorrectly.. my measurement reads in lux and Foot Candles..
Basically I was giving my plants about 50-80 Umol instead of 400-600 like I thought.
Same for flower. That being said very impressed with what I have achieved with very minimal light.
Hopefully my plants won’t get stunted from the correct light.
