First autoflower run with Organic Living Soil. I am a novice grower so don't be shy to point things out that could be improved!
Seed germinated straight in medium. All "days" are counted from planting seed.
Light : KingPlus 1200w
Trying out Living Soil that was purchased ( see ingredients above ).
Feeding: Tap water dechlorinated/bubbled for 5-8h before use.
CEC : 33
Original water holding : 64%
added 5L perlite for more aeration as the soil was pretty dense. Hopping it won't affect the water retention too much.
Happy growing!
Slow growth even though healthy looking plant.
Suspecting:
1:watering issues as It is my first time watering in soil indoors, even more so with living organic.I always wait for the top inch to be dry and or the pot to feel lighter. (1L/feed)
2:light distance?
What do you think?
1 L/feed is too much water for such a young plant. With living microbes in the soil, growing organically its essential to keep the soil moist and not let it dry out as it will kill most good bacteria for your plant. But at the same time your roots need oxygen and especially in soil it doesn't tend to dry as fast as other medium therefore lifting the pot as your are doing is a good trick. Your doing a good job your seedling looks healthy 👍
Thank you @GreenHouseLab this is what I was suspecting.
This website is by far the most helpful platform for learning and understanding growing, thanks to you guys.
happy growing!
