This week plants have been slowly making their way through the stunting. Have been just lightly foliar feeding with cal-mag and grow this week.
Pots are now light and looking for water so have watered with nutes.
Wonder Woman (showing signs that it needs nitrogen) -
Gave 4 litres of 6.5 Ph water with nutrients til runoff
0.25ml/l cal mag
0.25ml/l grow
0.5ml/l heaven
Total EC - 0.485
RUNOFF EC - 1.7
RUNOFF PH - 6.2
Super Skunk (seems to have enough nitrogen but needed a feed) -
Just fed nutrients in 6.5 water today, gave 4 litres to give runoff
0.125ml/l cal-mag
0.125ml/l grow
0.25ml/l heaven
Total EC - 0.482
EC runoff - 2.78
PH runoff - 6.1
Run off was very high on both plants, theyve both had no feedings other than foliar feeds since they were put into soil around 3 weeks ago. Why so high? Considering flushing them if i see nute burn but in a bit of a conundrum as dont want to drown them again and overwater doing another flush.
Also bought superthrive, heard good things so wanting to see if that will help the plants recover so made up foliar spray.
Im growing seedlings indoors in a window (they are only 7 days old) but ive been wondering at what point do the plants start needing circulating air?
Found limited answers online, they will be going out to greenhouse once theyre big enough but for now do they need a fan?
All you need is a small fan to make sure fresh air is moving around the plants. When they are out in the open fresh air circulation is a little less important.
The bigger benefit to air circulation is blowing a gentle breeze over the plants to strengthen the stems so they can hold more weight.
Literally all you need is 1-2 6inch clip on fans for cheap. I bought 2 off amazon for like $12.
@Epokwan, yeah greenhouse has got to be the way over in the UK we just get so much rain! Cant handle bud rot each year 😤
Ah sounds like they got the life, over in Spain? Went to Tenerife a few years back and the african sun is intense! ☀️ got to go somewhere once this is all past us i reckon 🏝️☀️🌡️
@Eagers, yea I don't have the space either for indoor. Greenhouse is super cool though, keen to build something next year... for now I start mine off under a mini hoop house and let them bask under the African sky after that
@Vincent11,Thanks mate, been checking in on youre runtz grow every so often but kept forgetting to follow! Its looking 👌going to be a nice harvest im sure! Been wanting to grab one of those seeds for a while, will be following along 👍thanks and wish you all the best with your grow! 👊🙏
Hey. Hope all is well. Your ladies are looking good.... What I do in the first couple of weeks if I'm using soil is mist them twice a dayz keeping the soil moist. After they outgrow their little domes I then water about 2 inches away around the seedling, forcing the roots to search for water. Happy Growing
@Geordiejesus, Yeah its all very well doing the research but getting to gauge the weights of pots now which is helping. Yeah I'm not sure either, bit of an experiment this one and will keep you updated as she goes! Will be getting them transplanted as though they're autos which can't really hurt I guess.
Nice one dude.
@Eagers, it's no worries dude it's all a learning curve. I normally water when the pot feels light and looks dry, get a feel of the pots weight befor and after watering to get a feel, you can judge when to water using that method... I'm not sure if you can tell if she's gonna be photo or auto until she starts to flower by herself.. I would mebbies on day 21 transplant them into their final pots just incase they are autos..
@Geordiejesus,
Thanks for the comment. Yes I had kept them under a small dome for 5 days and planned to keep them in there for some time just adding more airholes each day, then read conflicting things to say they need air to the leaves once theyre open no need for dome. Panicked and removed! Haha. But might have to learn from that one for the future! Ah thats a good tip, going to do that lightly tomorrow and give them something to search for. Do you usually water right in the morning or end of the day?
Thanks buddy will keep an eye on your grow!
@DreamOn, Thanks man 🙏 trying to exercise some patience before i can smoke it but im running low right now. Knowing its there, my hand just keeps creeping for those smaller nugs.. 🤫🤣
@Jef79,
Thanks bud! The other plants went pretty badly, these autos are pretty unforgiving! The smell coming off this one is 👌 though. Hope your good, plants are constantly comin on strong from your end! 💪😁
@Geordiejesus,
I shouldve added in the comments that they are actually seeds from a batch i got a while back so have no idea whether they will be auto or photos. Do you have any idea on when and how I will know or just find out once they start flowering? Was always hoping to give them a go and now seems like the best time during these odd times!
Have some auto blue dreams from Humboldt Seeds that im looking to plant after this trial run!
Peace
