The amnesia's have made a huge leap this week. totally hyped; these girls (espescially no #1 and #2) look like a little ball of lettuce. so compact, and so full and lush. i'm really happy with the way this is going.
this week ive started adding a little bit of nutes; mainly stuff to get that root zone going. intentionally started out with Janeco Lightmix so i have a higher influence on the actual nutrient contents of my medium. Started very low on the nutes; half of the prescribed amount (by my Advanced Nutrients planner).
first time ever to apply some foliar spraying with nutes. i've done this before with vegging plants but never with nutrients in it. trying to do this about 2-3 times everyday. i'm keeping an eye on my humidity, so if that jumps up i will know that the plant has started to transpire and has a big enough rootsystem to uptake through the soil. then i'll stop humidifying the room and also stop applying the foliar.
i'm doing my best to keep the humidity high, however my growing container is so small that any changes i make to the climate can swing the climate to another extreme within no-time. Therefore i'm using piezo elements in glass of water to get some moisture into the air.
some of the bottom leaves (all 3 plants affected) are slightly curling up towards the end. she looks pretty healthy to me, so i'm wondering if anyone here recognises this and knows what might cause such symptoms?
@levensfiets hi there my friend I'm thinking that this is a classic case of overwatering you need to allow the medium your growing in time to dry a little between
waterings this is to let your roots breathe .
(for more background, see Week 9 in diary)
Am i correct for assuming that when growing in peat moss (supplemented with perlite) i would need a hydroponic fertilizer because this is a soilless medium? thanks ! :)
Look into Coco nutes! I used ProMix during my first grow and I had to get the PH Perfect line from Advanced Nutrients ๐
Had to keep up with plenty of feedings once I dialed in the right levels. I backed off to a 70/30 Soil to ProMix combo for my second grow so I didn't have to keep up with as many feedings.
Best of luck! ๐
Trichomes on #2 are underdeveloped. Do you guys reckon it would help buying a UVB lamp (10 rating) 26 watt and adding those to both growrooms to compensate for the LED's lack of UV lighting? Maybe some Molasses in the feeding (never used it before) ?
@levensfiets I'm not too savvy on the uv lights but I can definately reccomend the use of mollasses in your feeds as it does wonders for the soil microbes
Remember happy soil= happy roots then that = happy Fruits I use a tablespoon per 10L watering can otherwise you could go with just a couple of teaspoons to start with
Good luck for your culture my friend ๐ i replied to your grow question if the answer suits you you can validate it ๐ if you need advice do not hesitate
May the strength be with you ๐ช
Congrats ! Im just getting into growing i was wondering how the LUMERI PNLVB1200 LED light performs. I was interested in buying it as my first lamp. Do you reccomend it ? .. I cant find anything regarding that lamp. Thanks in advance.
@elusion84, i think i like it, although i have nothing to compare it with yet. also a big downside to this light is that there are no available specs in terms of ppfd and things like that ('ve been in touch with the reseller and they are unable to give me any info)
however; if i'd have to buy a new one in the same pricerange based on my current knowledge i'd buy and optic 1XL or an optic2 i guess.
