Start of week 3 and the plants have taken off really well. I'm a little concerned with some of the yellowbrown on the end of 2 of the plants. A bit of research is required.
Stakes have been removed after exactly a week - which amazes me, considering how skinny they were last week.
Auto-watering system is now in action, but needs a minor change. At the moment I can only water for 1 minute every 24 hours or run off is way too much. If I control the flow with the valve, the water is distributed evenly, so it has to be at least 80% open. The current plan is to put valves before each Hydro Halo so I can have the tank on full and control the flow for each plant individually.
The soil will be getting a dose of Dr Greenthubs Root Roids in 3 or 4 days to keep the bacteria and fungi replenished and fed.
Hey there!
Glad to see you got a diary going, thanks so much for growing FastBuds 🙌🏼
If you need any assistance, don't hesitate to let us know!
Happy Growing! 💚🌱
Good luck on you're grow, you're plants look great! I love GG - hopefully you get some solid nice nugs! How far away is you're LED from the plants? Min of 12 inch and up to 18 inches away is optimal otherwise you chance light stress - one of mine has gone through this exact process. I thought it was a nitrogen deficiency which I then tried too fix, causing it too be over watered and stunting some growth. All part of the tinkering process.
@Memkasa, That's literally what I'm trying too work out atm whether yellowing is from over watering or light stress, purely because coffee grounds hasnt changed the plant colour its stayed the same so my soil must still be nitrogen rich. Good luck working it out!
@Bashgrowsitall1989, thanks mate. Lights are about 3 feet away at the moment - due to be dropped to about 18 inches in the next day or 2.
I'm 96% sure the yellowing is from over watering. All the testing of my watering system has seen a lot more water go through than I would have liked - but yeah, it's all tinkering... and it's a lot of fun!
