I'm starting to feel like my day-1-count is off... two of the three girls (the ones in the best light conditions) are still not transfering into flower, although they are still gaining size and looking healthy af.
I've performed a defoliation from below as well as some lollypopping on the 2 of them that are not flowering yet, and also i've let them sit in complete darkness for one night - just seeing if that might kickstart the flowering process.
Gave them a full watering on monday, with only Advanced Nutrients Bloom on half the suggested dosage (2ml/Liter) and pH'd the water down to about 6.3.
Low stress training is really showing results this week; finally i've managede to bend and secure the stems of most of the grow sites in such a way that most of them are now in direct sunlight. i hadn't figure this would be possible without even topping the plant once.
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.
