Start growing on 4/20 for the first time!
DIY Grow Box
soil + perlite (3 L)
2 CFL 100W 6000K for vegetation
1 LED 200W 2700K for flora
Simple germination with paper towel method. Warm and dark place.
Day#1 - I left the soil moist on the first day and kept it moist with a sprayer on the following 2 days.
Day#2 - I took the helmet with a cotton bud
Day#7 - First water meal (100mL tap water - 6.5 pH) on
Day#10 - another fresh meal of tap water (150mL - 6.5pH). Maybe next meal with nutrients!
Day#14 - 1st feeding with Compo Sana Universal 7-3-6 (1/4 recommended dose) + watering till run off = 6.2 solution pH
@Medicanna, I'm so confused I read that on the RQS manual to alternate the PH :/ My plant is on day #7 and only have done 2 waterings so far with a ph of 5.8 what should I do in the future?
@dalilama, Hey man I never heard about the alternating pH. I would actually THINK it would stress the plant and microbial life in the soil to keep alternating pH ? I also meant to send this chart right here: http://homegrow-pro.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/marijuana-growing-ph-chart-soil.jpg
You can clearly see that what you just said is absolutely correct, but if you try to choose one constant value, 6.5 pH is used by most soil growers I know as it meets all nutrients "requirements".
Cheers for discussing that one out, its an interesting question yet often asked :)
@Medicanna, Oh thanks for the tips, also I read that you should alternate the range of PH water you give your plant because some nutriments are better absorbed with ph bellow 6 and some are better absorbed with a ph above 6. I was giving 5.8ph water before but I will try alternating now.
