So right after starting this diary one of the plants died. Which OK, was expected, I mentally prepared and moved on. Over the weekend, my roommates went out. So I cleaned out the NFT system cause why not? During this process another plant died... well it was died but I didn’t notice until the stonewool it was growing it completely dissolved in sink. The roots basically shrivelled up, seems like a bad sign.
Another thing I came across recently was the Bio-grow doesn’t do well in a tank. This was the main reason I cleaned it out. Moving forward I’m going to top feed it every other day, using a solution of nutrients listed on this grow. The tank will still be used for later in the grow and daily watering, with ph down and root juice and bio heaven. Just to make sure that it’s getting something from underneath.
Since only plant 3 survived, moving forward I’ll be referring to it as the main plant. Anyway, based on how much it’s grown and using my previous grows. I was able to feel confident with the amount it has grown and how much to expect moving forward. While I’m not happy with the top feeding, it’s a mild inconvenience that I must endure. As long as it produces a new set of leaves every week, I know I’m on the right track.
Also it was getting top heavy. Added a support and based on what I know it means it’s starting to reinforce the main stem for the rest of the grow. I don’t think the support will be removed for a couple of weeks.
The back up plant is in, waiting until it’s first finger leaves appeared. Since then it’s produced it’s first set of fan leaves. 3 fingers but still an accomplishment.
Finally, I have one more seedling that is just catching up. It’s only started germination about a few days ago but is already about to sprout. I’ll add to this grow since it’s starting to produce fan leaves.
