Planted 10/12/19 at 4pm.
1st time grow...didnt calculate soil volume between 2 5 gal pots so i ended up having to use 2 half filled 5 gal fabric pots cut down about halfway...yea im retarded...
36"X 20"X 63" vivosun grow tent
500w parfactworks full spec plus dual cob led
6" intake and exhaust fans with 6 inch filter...all vivosun products
ExHale Co2 bag
Usb fan for inside circulation
Running fans every other 30 mins on a timer keeping avg temps between 75-90..avg temp is 82....RH is between 30-77% with an avg of 60%
Gorilla glue popped its head out about 36 hours ago on 10/15/19 at around 10pm...Tang Dream had complications and currently germing another seed...hopefully planting in the next 72 hours
Yes hello, I have a question. How do u alter soil PH and keep it between optimal grow range? Seems like no matter the PH of water i put in...the soil always drys closer to 7 or above....which makes me think that I have to physically alter the soil but Idk where i would start.
In soil you'll have no difficulties to grow with a 7ph even if a 6.5 in flowering is the average range. The soil have a self buffering propriety so it's mean that you'll be close to 7 each time you water except if you have a big difference between your nutrients mix ph and the soil ph for ex soil is 7 and mix is 5 but it will create a ph fluctuation. No need to check the runoff PH except if you'r growing in coco.
GG is takin off...TG decided to join the party late on account of my ignorance 🤦♂️🤣...great healthy retard strength growth...starting nutes in a couple days, sure wish sm1 could help me with my soil PH lol
My GG is safe to say that she is frankensteins bride...this past week has been the most stressful for both of us...from breaking the second main that grew from the first topping resulting in me topping it again, to thinking i was getting early stages of WPM so i milk solutioned both plants, pots, the tent..to realizing that the TG def had a copper deficiency which i solved with a flush with nutes and grow big foliar spray and is now showing great healthy growth...def a learning experience...dont let anyone tell u its easy haha...and if ur finicky and have adhd, just let the plant be, hardest part yet 🤦♂️ also did a pretty heavy defol and screen comes up within a week.
Notbtoo much stress this week....LST, Screen in place...bout ready to just let it take its own course as soon as the screen is filled....the TD is growing great...wanted to try FIM with it but ultimately just topped it while i had the chance...as i defol the GG i figured while im just tossing out useless branches i figured id try a few clones out, 🤷♂️🤷♂️ yea i know most think its a myth but why not?...anywho, stay tuned for the bud show in the next few weeks...surely to be quite the sight the way this GG is fillin this screen...salutaions growers🤙🤟
The GG is fillin up the screen pretty nice...next few weeks will be nice...TD is growin good, started training a little early with great results already.
This week was a breeze...found a nice routine...plants are healthy...nothin to it👏👏👏 until next time growers...waitin on this budshow to start in the meantime 🤙🤟✈️
@indoorontario, yea see i read that it does fairly well with nutes between 5.5-6.8...but i cant get the fucker under 7 🤦♂️...i get it down to 5...and then it drys and reads about 6.8-7.4...too high...although my GG is growing crazy in the 7+ soil...havent gave any nutes yet...plan on givin just PH adjusted water for the first 2 weeks so i can get the soil down pat...got the FF trio for any wonderers lol...soil is half FFOF, maybe 15% ammended autoflower living organism mix, and the rest perlite....also pretty much flushed the shit out of the soil with a couple gallons in the beginning cuz i was worried about the soil PH...first time grow is an anxiety attack, worse then the first born lol a fuckin headache i swear...but also ADHD so very impatient ha
@Certifyed252, I can't say I know a lot about soil by any means , but from what I understand is that you want your water between 6.5 and 6.8 and the soil itself will do some buffering which protects the plant. As long as you stay in that range you should be fine. I wouldn't worry about the run off ph unless you start seeing problems. Also I don't know how much water you are giving but you should really just keep your soil damp, you don't really need to have a ton of runoff unless you are flushing.
@indoorontario, thank u sir, hopefully with much trial and little error my first grow will be a high quality high yielded one.....right now, my biggest worries are soil PH, no matter how much i pour acidic water in, it always drys at about 7 or higher in some spots...leaving me with the only thought of having to physically alter the soil which at this point is pretty much impossible i feel like....any tips would be greatly appreciated, seems that i planted the tang dream upside down and never broke its shell, ripped it out and just planted another today
If ph is giving you problems get some Advanced Nutrients . It's formulated to be in the right range. Works great and I have no deficiencies and get 5-7 oz per plant! I don't top just LST .
@Wildotter , @indoorontario , i was randomly doin research and found the answer to the soil ph...aluminum sulfate.... 1/2 cup will lower a 5gal pot by 1.0ph...just for future reference...would start with 1/4 and work up to 1/2 as not to lower to far...but yes, the soil ph did lower to good zone with just one water and dry of the soil.
