Poor mans grow
Premium Classic Soil - did not read the instructions. This whole grow was put together haphazardly because i didnt do enough research
Germinated seed in a lunchbox, inside a cloth, tapwater. Put the lunchbox on my xbox to keep it warm.
Watering with bonaqua still water since it has a known pH of 6.5. Dont know whats in my tapwater so yea.
Water once top soil is dry for 5cm down
Will be adding 85w cfl the second week.
20/4 light schedule
Have a small desk fan constantly on
Closet grow, lined with aluminum foil
Built a light rig with all them cfls
Heat stress on other plants, moved the lights to about 12cm away. Also going to keep cuboard door open to let the heat escape. Dont have a humidifier, but i put a few cups of water next to my plants to help with humidity
Tested pH before and after adding nutes. Noticed that nutes make the pH balanced water more acidic. Going to experiment with water with a higher pH, add nutes and test the pH of that.
Hope they dont get nute burn😬
No problems this week. Seeing alot of new branching , plants getting bushy
Shes stretching alot. Giving her sunlight for about 5-6 hours, that's as much sun i can harvest. The rest of the night shes under 50w cob led thats equivalent to 150w hps along with daylight cfls i used for veg. Grow going strong, never had one issue. Gonna switch up the nute ratios hopefullly it doesnt cause trouble
Alot of stretching growing fast
Thinking about feeding every watering. Got epsom salts and busy making banana tea and will get molasses for next week or the week after thats feeding. Weary about feeding too much but still.
Feeding every watering did not work out bro. I think im seeing early signs of nute burn. I sprinkled Epsom salt over the soil then watered with nutes. Seeing the tips of leaves lighting up and some are brown. Ill safely assume, its burnt
Dont worry about small burned tips, just reduce EC of the fertigation mix a bit and make sure to get 20% drain next fertigation event.
Dont flush now. Consider flushing an "ultimate remedy". Flushing imposes all kind of rapid changes on your plant (fast reduction of soil EC, O2 reduction, possible temperature swings of the medium, etc.), hence its stressfull for them. Your plants look healthy and the tips are just very slightly burned. If symptoms worsen fast, then it might be nessercary to flush.
And btw, I am not a plant fertigation expert at all, but given that the GHE Trio formula is complete, I would be worried adding other nutrients might cause problems, possibly leading to incorrect nutrient ratio's. I would just use the trio formula and only add other products if I know exactly what i'm doing.
Will update after cure
Get a cerebral high at first feeling calm, at ease, laugh, lasts about 30 to a hour, after that intense body relaxation, lazy feeling. Munchies is sometimes side effect.
