Starting a new grow. The prior one I had did wind up being finished, but between turmoil at work transitioning to the nonsense with Covid-19, I just didn't have the motivation to continue it. I made a ton of mistakes, and as a result, I've decided to change to autoflowers until I'm a bit more experienced. Autos have the benefit of a faster turnaround, so I can learn more. The most important thing I learned in my first grow was what I don't know. There's really not much to talk about for this grow. I have Oasis wedges to eliminate as much organic material as I can, as opposed to the Rapid Rooters I used before. I don't like rockwool, and I won't have anything to do with it. Oasis is probably the best middle ground for me, still not biodegradable, but at least non-toxic. I don't have anything else to report. We'll just let the new girls grow. I also am going to do this a hair differently. First, I plan to update each day, even if it's just a picture of each plant. Second, I plan to have some more fun with this for once. I have a habit of being a bit on the dry side, and frankly, it also makes it boring after a while. So, I will name my plants! Other changes to feel will be coming. Day 1 notes: The first seed came up! Gotta be honest, I am rejecting the urge to name it Alice, but I've spent too much time learning Information Theory, so no. I also don't want a common or obvious name either. And so, after WAY more thought than I'll bet you think, we welcome Tiamat to this world! The second seed is definitely still coming up, I can see it down there, but Tiamat wanted to come up first. See you for tomorrow's edit. Day 2 notes: Nothing much to report. Plant 2 is coming up, and should be ready for a name tomorrow, I'm thinking Marduk. Tiamat is looking nice. Day 3 notes: In Babylonian mythology, Marduk killed Tiamat, and I just don't want the association, so Apsu came up today! It seemed to have some trouble finding its way up, but there it was. The first seed sprouted day 3 in the rig, and the second after 6. I'm also working on a time lapse for the end of the grow, something to look forward to. Day 4 notes: I officially changed to an 18/6 light schedule today. I usually do 24 hours to germinate, covering the media to protect from direct light. Other than that, the little seedlings are doing great. Day 5 notes: Reservoir was getting a little smelly, so I decided to change it a couple of days early. Added a very light cocktail of nutrients. Day 6 notes; Nothing really to report. Seedlings are growing nicely. It wasn't until late that the nutes got added, so we'll see what they say tomorrow. Day 7 notes: Tiamat has a few roots coming out of her net pot. Apsu still hasn't showed anything, but both seem happy for now. Week update tomorrow. One interesting note was how high the pH jumped over the last 2 days. TDS is within error bars of original reading (255 ppm), so I'm just thinking the oxygen.

Long and short of it is that I'm wondering what's going on with these brown spots on Tiamat. The solution pH has been dropping rapidly, even though the PPM has only very slightly raised (250 - 275 over the past 3 days, whereas pH has shot down from 6.2 to 5.8).

deficiency, if only feeding/maintaining 250-275. A lot of tap water comes out at 250-300. A modest feed is still 600-700 + tap and perfectly safe for all stages of plant growth -- more likely if there isn't a cartoon graphic on the label anyway. low on plant, so it is mobile. That's an early leaf, so it may not be neccessary to worry much unless you see it spread. The plant could just be getting rid of it. Since other leaves look healthy, i'd say a K-def if anything, but it shouldn't be impacted by the pH too much. If you've been giving a significantly reduced feed on top of what you see, then that's almost certainly why you see the leaf problems. as far as pH, that's from the constant evaporation. you'll find a happy medium by adjusting up and down. As long as you maintain the same brand feed, you'll likely need just one or the other and a consistent amount per day or week etc if consistent otherwise, but good to have something to raise and lower pH readily available. Vinegar can work as a ph-down, for example. I wouldn't use sodium-bicarbonate, but you could use that to pH-up a time or two and not have any worries at all about the added Na+. Over time it will cause a problem, especially if you re-use the substrate. In a hydro setup, you are 100% responsible for that. In soil the microbes help maintain and buffer any large swings due to what you put in.
