started this week off with a bit of a downer. the leafs on plant #2 were looking absolutely horrendous. brown/rust spots all over the place and the leafage also looked wayyyy to dark for my liking.
Number #1 however was doing fabulous - on exactly the same nutrient regime.
I think i overfed with PK boosters a little bit, or it might just be the calcium deficiency (used Overdrive + plagron Green Sensation over the last 2-3 weeks).
pumped them with some extra calmag which i hadn't given the ladies in a week or 6 (pretty much stopped that on flower) but they were totally craving for calcium by the looks of it.
Maybe something to do with the (poor, i know) choice of medium? pure peat moss is just not the way to go ;)
but yeah , i guess that's how we learn!! another really interesting grow anyway and still have very high hopes for these ladies.
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) ?
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 🙌
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! 👍

@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 😉 i replied to your grow question if the answer suits you you can validate it 😊 if you need advice do not hesitate
May the strength be with you 💪
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.
