Let's start my first diary here! I want to track all the details because I think It will be very helpful. In the past, I've committed some failures due to not keeping track of the feeds and so many times improvising them. I think this is my 6th indoor growth and I hope this time goes well and for sure I'll continue learning! On the first days, the plants were placed near a window, because the ones in the tent have not finished yet. But due to bad weather these past days, I had to find out a place inside the tent. Then I placed the little plants at the floor level in the tent, but again the light was not enough. So I came up with an idea to lift them up and now it's ok! Because of this weird beginning, the plants have stretched more than usual and have delayed growth a bit. Hope this not became a problem when transplanting them! 🤞 - - - - - - DAY 0 - - - - - - · Seeds germinated very fast, in a day they were all out but #5, which took half a day more. - - - - - - DAY 1 - - - - - - 💧150 ml per plant 🍼 PH 6 - EC 0.05 · The small plastic pots (0.7 l) were filled with BioBizz Light-Mix and some Micorhizal spores and Rhizobacterias (Cellmax Product X) - - - - - - DAY 4 - - - - - - · Because of sharing the space with almost finished plants, the air humidity is lower than recommended 😞 · I've put some wet expanded clay in the bottom of the tray to keep the moisture in this zone.

At the beginning of this week, these little plants were also sharing the same space with other plants. In the middle of the week, I plan to harvest the big plants and then clean their Smart Pots to be used by these new plants.

Once the Smart Pots from the big plants were dry, I brushed them in order to remove as much root debris as possible. Then I put them in the washing machine and let it dry.

This is the first time I do LST, so it'll be training also for me! ❌ Realized that the plants are having 24h of light because I forgot to switch the timer 😓

This week I'm starting really feeding the plant and I'm realizing I'm a little late because the Light-Mix soil is lightly fertilized. Hope the nutrients will be available for the plants whenever they need along this week. Also I'm starting to decrease the number of light hours gradually to reach the initial plan (20/4).

Unfortunately, the oldest leaves from #1 and #3 have been getting more and more yellowish. I think I started feeding them late, but not sure if that's the real problem. I'm going to increase the pH this week to 6.5 and using less Calmag solution. Hope I can keep things right because now seems the plants started flowering 🤞 - - - - - - DAY 32 - - - - - - 💧 1500 ml per plant ➕ 3 ml · BioBizz Bio-Grow ➕ 1.5 ml · BioBizz Bio-Bloom ➕ 1.5 ml · BioBizz Acti-Vera ➕ 1.5 ml · BioBizz Alg-A-Mic 🍼 PH 6.5 - EC 1.3 - 23ºC ⚠️ There are some leave tips which are turning yellow or even brown 🤔 - - - - - - DAY 33 - - - - - - 💡 I decided to turn off one of the lights because I think maybe the two lights together are causing some stress to the plants

This week I started without feeding them and only added enzymes to prevent a nutrient lockout. On next watering, I'll add nutrients but letting drain at least 0.5 liters. And finally, I'll check out how is the level of salts by measuring that drainage's EC.

This week I decreased the number of light hours by 2 because I'm not sure if this new light it's al little overkill.

I'm worried about some brown spots and dying tips. It seems that the soil is a little overfertilized but not sure if this is the only issue or maybe the plants are getting stressed again because of too much light. Just in case, I decreased the light hours by 2. What do you think?

Bio-Bizz strikes again Your light is fine, no signs of bleaching or burning. The spots are calcium from either a lockout OR PH issues. The faded leaves at the bottom of the plant appear to be nitrogen def that may or may not still be present. I ran Bio-Bizz as 5ml/gal grow and 10-15ml/gal bloom with occasional adds for deficiencies, yeah bio-bizz its a trip

I know a couple of weeks ago you had a bit of deficiency going on. Now it kind of looks like you have that under control but is that a heat issue I see now? New lights? Heat test? Tested runoff PH? Flush? A curious world wants to know 😉

@@vapedboy, Seems to me they mature fast during flush. Just dont cut any corners and you will love it. Coco is all about prep work. Youtube is your friend 😉 Good luck

vapedboycommented5y
@rhodes68, I was thinking about trying coco so your words just convinced me about give it a try in the near future. For the next crop, I already have BioBizz All-Mix soil, but for sure I'll go with it later. I think I'll take a look at that book before I start growing with coco! About the current plants I have, it's so curious that this strain, according to its description, may be ready for harvest 7½ weeks from germination... mines are now in the 10th week and I think it will take 2 more weeks to think about harvesting. So because of that, I'm thinking of feeding them only with water in the next weeks. Thank you again for your comments, really appreciate your help!
rhodes68
rhodes68commented5y
@@@vapedboy, The pat reply would be to do a PHed flush of the plant next watering followed by a feeding the next time. Since you are in week ten that should not really affect the plant too much long as the pot is light to begin. Organics do not usually require a flush but when you do you want at least 20% runoff. Next feed just watch the dosing and that is the usual process. I swear if it not heat its nuet burn on those leaves. You have to watch Cal-Mag, it can burn your leaves which is why I have learned to use low doses and foliar feeds to keep that a non-issue. I see no cal or mag deficiency at present so might even want to put it away for a while, your call. What to do next time is a bit more of an issue depending on you. I had a lot of issues with organic soil indoors much as you have so I fixed it. I went to coco and Drain to Waste. Simplicity in growing Yeah I have to tend them every morning, but only once a day, and the yields have been remarkably improved. Dr. MJ Coco has a book on Amazon or the same info on his web site for free, it is what I grow by with only minor changes to adapt it to our situation. If you stay in soil its a LOT more complicated. Life is complicated enough as it is.... 😳 Follow directions to a tee ( and I mean to the point) and coco will make you look like a genius.

Hi buddy! Regarding the problem of the leaves, I personally believe that it can be due to a high temperature (very close light) and/or an excess of watering. I think @rhodes68 is helping you and giving good advice. 😉 Don't worry about failures, the important thing is to find them and learn from them. Sweet smokes, -Apolo

@BlogMArley, gracias por tu comentario! Creo que el problema ha sido el exceso de riego que ha provocado que las raices no puedan coger los nutrientes, pero tampoco estoy muy seguro. Para el proximo cultivo tambien intentaré ir poco a poco con los fertilizantes para evitar excesos, a ver si la proxima es la buena 🤞
