Amnesia Haze Auto 05/2020 (Grow 1)

@@jcbud, Seriously. I’m glad I found the site. I’ve learned a lot as well. It is pretty weird, but it helps a little bit. I’ve read through the page and checked out the forums. It seems like my best option would be to increase the amount of water given each time. I’m thinking about 800mL, twice a day. It’s a lot, but it’ll help keep the salt build up in the roots to a minimum. It is a huge difference between the soil grow. It’s a shame we can’t really compare, but at least we’ll learn about watering different growing mediums in case we ever decide to try something different. Oh nice! I got some seeds from Seedsman. OG Kush and Lemon (fem and auto) and I got some free Bubba Kush, which I believe is photo fem. I’m thinking of doing two OG and two Blueberry next. I’m looking forward to seeing the colors on the Blueberry. Thanks again for sharing notes. Hopefully everything goes smoothly from now on.

@AGrowerNotAShower, cheers! I'm thankful for GD and the ability to search for others' journals and see the progress. Definitely learning a ton. Your wet towel method seems interesting...I might try that too!. Regarding watering, I unfortunately am using FFOF soil as my grow medium so I don't have anything to help with coco and your observations. Have you perused through Cocoforcannabis.com and the forums there? https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/principles-fertigation-feed-water-cannabis-coco/. I find it interesting that with my 3 gal soil grow, and with me only watering today 230 mL of pH'd 6.2 RO water + MegaCrop, the water volume differential between the soil vs coco is quite large. I'm still trying to figure out my watering volumes as well since I feel like 210 mL was too little before but the plants did well for 7 days! I increased my volume today to 230 mL so we'll see how that goes with my medium. I also got the Auto Mixpack! I had a tough time debating btw the BB and NL, but I thought it would be nice to grow the BB for the flower and color. My next grow after my current ILGM AH & BB will probably be my Mephisto Genetics seeds that I got from 4/20. Keep it up!

@@jcbud, Thanks! I’ve read through many great diaries (including yours) and gathered a lot of info, so I’m just trying to to do my part and share as well. Hopefully it can help others. I had the same issue with humidity levels. Hanging up some wet towels in the grow room helps a bit. I ended up having to buy a small humidifier, but even then I couldn’t get it past 50%. It’ll start to increase once the plants grow bigger and start taking in more water. For my grow I’m using a 70/30 mixture of coco coir and perlite using General Hydroponics CaliMagic and Flora Trio. I was giving them about 1000mL for the 5-gallon plants and 750mL for the 3-gallon with about a 20% runoff, and following the feeding schedule on the website Coco For Cannabis. They were doing fine until I tried to switch from twice a day to once a day, which they did not like. I switched back to two waterings, but they had already been thrown off. I had to flush the 3-gallon plant today because the EC in the coco was more than double what I was putting in. It seems strange giving so much water, but the plants are doing better this way. Hopefully the EC will level out. I bought the Auto pack from ILGM, so my next grow will probably be the Blueberry. I’m gonna continue learning from your grow. Thanks for commenting and happy growing! May we have great yields.

@Canna96, Thank!! I half expected myself to mess up more than I did, but I’m glad I did alright. I appreciate the comment.

@@jcbud, Thanks and likewise! Let’s hope we get some huge buds. Yeah, I now know that a 5-gallon grow with coco might be too big for my set up. I did alright with training one of my 5-gallons, but the other one is getting too tall. It’s 2” away from my light. I’m definitely doing my next grow with 3-gallon pots.

@sn1ck3rz, Hey! I have three and they’re taking up all the space in my tent. Luckily the branches are following the light, so they stopped growing wide, but the vertical stretch is incredible! I had my light on a ratchet and I had to take it off and hang my light on one of the tents crossbars, so I’m maxed out as well. And even then my tallest plant is only about four inches away from the light. It’s amazing, but a bit worrying. I’m looking forward to harvest! Thanks and good luck with your grow as well.
