My frist grow

@GanjaSmoker88, from what I observed on this stage you can turn on both modes: bloom and veg. BUT what is the distance between plants and light? The lamp you have is pretty good by the way.

@kubie, they are about 50 cm high. In the afternoon I load more photos to show you the progress. I haven't given him water for 5 days.

@GanjaSmoker88, Ok, we will make it :D Don't worry, first grows are always overcared and instead to help the plants we actually stress them xD

@MrRaid, my grow box is 1 meter x 1 meter x height 180 cm. I don't think the problem with this cultivation was the LED, I had problems with the recycling of air. If you see my other 2 journals the situation has improved a lot. I don't think my LED is bad or at least I hope (paid over € 600 ...).

@GanjaSmoker88, what light did you get for 600?

@MrRaid, sonlight apollo plus hyperled 10 (160x3w) 480w

@Med_in_Tropic, Hello My first language is Italian. For the soil I used Cellmax BIO Soil Mix: Organic Matter: + 86% Electrical conductivity (EC): 1.1 ms / cm PH value: 5.5 / 6.4 Fulvic Acids 80%, Humic Acids 20% Humified Grape Must: NPK 2-0-2 (Nutrition for Soil Trace Elements) Soft Natural Phosphorus: Natural Source of Phosphorus Rock Powder: Source of Mineral and Natural and Trace Elements Mara algae for stabilization pH: 45% (CaO)

@GanjaSmoker88, my language is Thai. Please pardon my English. I try to share my idea. I look up Bio Max. Fantastic soil. But I think it is too strong already. I think you can dilute it. 1 part biomax. 3 part inert soil. Add a little phosphorus (1/4 normal strength). Inert soil is pearlite/coco coir/expire dirt. Ganja likes easily drained soil. I fertilize too much all the time. My favorite grower is @Philindicus he very meticulous. I make problems and try to fix it. He does it correct from the start until curing.

@GanjaSmoker88, My soil mix 3 part worm casting (25% organic 1-0.6-0.5 NPK) 1 part cal mag iron sand 3 part coconut husk 2 part peat moss 3 part old expired soil Total 12 parts Please notice my NPK come from worm casting and this last my photo for almost two months. Good result for auto too. I have used manure, bat guano. I burned too many plants, stunted them, and killed them. Auto is great. But less is more - said Phil.

@@Dana83, For these Royals, I used Cellmax organic soil but I didn't like it, and for the new crop, I got Universal Cellmax soil. I almost abandoned these plants because I had issues with air exchange, but I've solved that now and started with another 5 plants (check the diaries). These new ones seem to be doing really well and strong :)

@GanjaSmoker88, I don't know him, but from the reviews, he seems great and very fertilized. Be careful not to add too many nutrients, keep using just a little. Yeah, I've seen them, they look good 👌

@criticalkushweed, Hello I'm not measuring the EC because I'm giving it little water and there's never any left under the pot. I think I gave too much water the first 2 weeks. I also had a problem with air circulation; the extractor wasn't able to expel the air properly. I've fixed that now, and when I turn on the extractors, the box canvas gets sucked in perfectly. I've now put in a new plant that's 4 days old, and I'm sprouting another 4 Sweet Auto Cheese XXL. Fingers crossed!! :)

@criticalkushweed, Hello I measured the ec: water to irrigate 1350 ppm, water coming out of the pot 1800 ppm

@I_and_I,Hi, thanks for the comment. I've been trying with less water for 8 days, I'm loading new photos tonight. Yesterday I added fertilizer for flowering (week 5 started).

@GanjaSmoker88, awesome, hopefully you get some good stretch in flower for some more tops, in my grow my smallest plant spread itself pretty wide and solid, and is a big yielder in the end after staying less than half the height of others, your strain may be mostly indica too perhaps, which stays short by nature

@Jwjoh, Thanks for the advice. I am thinking of removing 3 plants because they are not developed at all and I don't want to waste any more time. I try to put 3 other semi cars (because they are already available) and for the next harvest I use normal seeds. I hope to do better :)

@GanjaSmoker88, make sure to research the strain you're growing! Find a photoperiod strain that's reported as easy to grow with high resistance to mold/mildew/etc. I started with 8 Ball Kush, it's super easy to grow, very forgiving, recovers quickly from mistakes, etc.

@Doktorholland, I had problems with the recycling of air. If you see my other 2 journals the situation has improved a lot.

@Doktorholland,Thanks for the advice. Now I have to try what I have. ;)
