So I believe this is actually the start of week 4 but I'm honestly a little confused when vegetation period from seedling actually starts so this might be end of week 3. Anyway, I started with a normal PHed 6.1 RO watering and then mixed up this nute batch that lasted me two feedings. The ppm that went in was 475 and that came out was still 675. So here in a day during the next watering I will mix up a higher ppm solution - probably around 500. The biobizz chart schedule has me with 0 bio grow and I feel that is strange as I'm not really seeing as explosive growth as I wanted, but I do realize these are organic nutes and I'm not gonna get any freak plants unless it's simply genetics.
I would like a feedback as to what would be the best option around 30 to 50 dollars to get that explosive growth that I want. Would be it dry soil amendments or maybe one not-so-organic nutrient to really get these plants going. I've seen what the drip systems are capable of and it's pretty impressive, not sure if that's what I truly need though.
Thanks for checking in and reading my first grow journal. Take care guys - as always any suggestions, tips, comments or critiques are always welcome!
I would do exactly what you are doing. Start at half strength and work your way up if you see more deficiencies. It is always easier to add nutrients then to take away if you burn them. I always found the PH and nutrient lockout was more likely to cause issues then an actual nutrient deficiency. Veg is just to get your plant ready for flower, so don't rush her and make sure she is nice and healthy before you flip. Good luck and happy growing! 👊
@AthanasGrow Basiccally any of the seaweed/kelp based supplements will do the same job as your fish mix just
be sure to check if they are suitable for hydroponics Here in Australia I use a product called Seasol and at only 0.5mls
per litre a bottle lasts ages. 👍
try dry nutrients at least once, it's really so much easier (and cheaper)... there was a study done on cannabis fertilisers 95% of them are identical to alternatives for tomatoes... if you're looking to save money, save money on nutes lol i dont know what other equipment you need but that's one way to save! 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow, I got some Down to Earth Organic Bio-Live 5-4-2 that I've been sprinkling on top via a salt shaker once a week since week 3. I will put it in the coco/perlite mix next according to directions. I'd love to get some worm castings as well.
I'm going to say one of your plants looks super healthy and short and fat like an Indica.
The other plant that has slightly yellow leaves is more sativa leaning and is crying out for some nitrogen. From what I understand when a plant is going through the "flower stretch" its using excess nitrogen to push those flowers up but in your plant it looks like ours taking it from the leaves. Growing different strains at the same time can prove challenging when it comes to feeding as each plant will have its own needs at separate times.
new growth seems to be healthier and like the bushy one is recovering, i wish i knew anything so i could advice you, but coco is something i know nothing about :/
Good luck with it! :)
Save yourself a headache and get an EC/PPM meter, for soil it is a big help, for coco it's a must. I would use full strength. Although i would recommend a coco specific nutrient.
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto myself. Got about 63 grams off her. I wish you the same success
Good luck with the rest of your grow.
I do have one but I haven't watered it enough to have runoff. My next watering I will do it though, it was 300 ppm going into the coco/perlite. I will say this coco mixture is very husky/rough nearly like mulch not like the powdery stuff I've seen from some other brands (mines cocoloco)
