Week 5 has come to a close. Dry amendments, compost teas, and seed sprout teas are finished for this run. It's just water and Flower 2 until the chop.
The week went very smoothly. I over fed a little with the Flower 2 trying to correct the deficiencies from week 4 which you can see in the pistils from the pics. The plants aren't quite developing as quickly as I would've hoped. They look like they're about a week behind. New lights, new room, new equipment, this is the break in run. Now that I have everything dialed in with the room, food/teas, lights, I'm really looking forward to harvesting this run and resetting the room.
Its frosty in here and it smells absolutely ridiculous in the room. Straight gas and fuel Terps.
@CRiSPrGrow, no I'm not measuring VPD. For seedlings and clones I run 24 hrs on for the lights at 60%-65% and 28 celcius. Veg I run 18/6 at 50%-55% and 28-29 celcius for lights on/26-27 celcius for lights off. First week of flower I run 25-26 lights on at 50%-55%. After first week of flower I try to stay in the 45%-50%. Last two weeks of flower I bring my hum down as close to 40% as possible. I dont bring down temps for late flower.
@Horticulturehobbyists,add the flowering week numbers to the veg week so instead of "flowering week 1" say "week 12 (flowering) " that should fix it, there's an edit button for the week where it should be easy to do... anyway wasnt dropping by about that lol , loving the sprouts tea... by the way are you measuring VPD too ?
Love the details. I’ll ask the question in this week, but I’m really thinking in the end of the vegetative state, for a light mix of various amendment and soil how long does a plant take to use up the nutrients? The rate at which a plant can access amendment compared to liquid plant food is clear, but I’m still not clear on how long it would take a plant to use up the mixed in food in a large final pot. Lets say I’m generally mixing 3 parts soil to 1 part various amendment in a final pot, am I looking at approx. 1-2 weeks of food, or a month’s worth of food? Any insights are appreciated.
Thanks Horticulturehobbyists, I’m learning alot in a short time with this journal.
@@BeanswithPork, it's hard to say exactly but from the time you top ammend the pots until the time the ecosystem you've built in the pot makes that food available to the plants is in that 7-10 day range. You feed the pot and the pot feeds the plant.
The red striping is something we've seen and we do a lot of Kush. Have generally gone with a touch of CalMag and time... but hard to say 'cause they always turn out :) This is a seriously crazy grow you've got.
