Week 2 - Day 8
Smallest plant is quiet far behind the strongest now. Gave 100ml of nuits to try help. It should catch up in the next week🤞🏻 If anyone has any thoughts please let us know. Thanks! Will update on this plants grow in comparison the whole way now.
NPK RAW nutrients have arrived🤘🏻 - so will be using these from now on along with the H&G Roots Execl. Waiting to pick up a GHE silica product as well, newly released DEC2019. The RAW GROW we have contains a small amount but more is needed. Having used Mr.Danks in our first ever grow with great results - a more potent silica has been advised to me!
Picked up the pots again - still quiet heavy so won’t feed again, let the roots search.. Want to water or nuit to run off tomorrow to test.
Week 2 - Day 9
Fed 4L RO water to test run off, 420-427PPM (haha). Before was 500. Using the RAW for the first time. We are not technically in week 1 of veg, but still seedling.
Will feed RO for the moment, pots are not light but not heavy. Have the feeling the PK is too high, hence the yellowing on the inner parts of the leaves? The strongest seems to be steady, could potentially use a feed?
Week 2 - Day 10
Going to leave them to do there thing, away this evening so will check in tomorrow.
Week 2 - Day 11
Nice bit of growth. Pots still heavy no feed today.
Week 2 - Day 12
Want to feed today to test the run off.
Fed; 547ppm @ 5.8PH to the large three, then 450ppm @ 5.8PH to the smaller ones. Run off was a little low on PPM so needs more. PH run off too high, needs more through the medium for that 5.8!
Week 2 - Day 13
Looking better today after a feed yesterday, the run off is still off way too high in PH, but EC spot on and 5.8PH in.
Sooo....decided to get rid of the Medusa Trays for the moment. They are not effective enough for the space they take up and the limitations they have. This allows massive amounts of space inside the tent for more plants! 😄
Would like to ask a question about run off PH; have been trying to keep it at the ideal 5.8, however the run off has spiked to read 6.5PH. Have fed 5.8PH’d RO or nuits only. Passed 20L PH nuit through a 20L pot@4.5PH to try even it now 6.2. Very confused, keep going till 5.8?
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@Trying4Trees,if you defoliate it makes the plant take longer , I do it once at about 4 weeks , to try and keep them bushy , autos aren’t like photos , they damag3 easily and less is more 👍
@Fast_Buds,
Thank you for your reply! Greatly appreciated.
We are willing to experiment a small portion, whilst being careful. We will try our best!! Jump in and comment anytime on our progress :D
That is very helpful information as we will be using the RAW powders and can accommodate for this in our recipe as the plant grows and shows signs to us🤙🏻
Defoliation seems very critical, and also a personal preference. Opening up the developing bud sights to light is so important, and for light penetration. I tend to see little to no defoliation during flowering? At least not till near the end 13/14. Is this due to not wanting to stress the plant during the full flowering stage? Whilst allowing the lower fan leaves to show signs of deficiencies? (if any present).
@Trying4Trees, Hey!! So glad you're excited for the run! As far as pro tips go, really I like to let growers learn on their own trial and error, however, I understand a bit of advice is always useful haha.... so, firstly, I would say as far as all the training you mentioned goes, it's not recommended unless you are either 1. familiar with the growth of autos or 2. don't mind experimenting and possibly not getting the expected outcome. HST can potentially stunt the growth of autos, therefore it's only suggested to those are are extremely experienced and have nice and healthy plants at the time. If either one is your case, do what you'd like =)
I will say go easy on the Nitrogen levels as a lot of purple strains tend to be more sensitive to it. Other than that, she's an easy peasy grow. If you have any specific questions, hit me up!
@BigDaddyK,
Wicked, totally understand. Need the let the roots search more. Will be transplanting them from 20L to 11L to try help them grow back out. Will be careful on the water! Thank you so much 🤙🏻
@Trying4Trees,probably 5 days is too much , the thing is the smaller they are the less they need , until they fill the pot they don’t want to be waterlogged , you need to do this from the start as you ha ve slowed it’s growth , obviously when they get bigger you need more often , I would of thought once every two days in full flower
@BigDaddyK, hi man! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Greatly appreciated💪🏻
So, PH pen was fully calibrated before the beginning. Will do so again to double check.
Okay, but for coco would that not to be too long? Or because of the 20L pot the moisture stays for longer?
