Transplanted into 5 gallon pots with cover crop. Also sprouted some bag seeds I wasn't expecting 100% germination, but ill practice some training on them.
Topped the plants this week. mainlined a couple of the bag seed plants but i wont be focusing on them much this grow just playing around and learning for the next grow.
I have been watering with tap water that has been aerated overnight and PHed down to the 6.something range. My city water comes out of the tap around 8.2 ph and has chloramine added. This week i collected rain water and made a compost tea with 2 gallons of water 2 cups of earthworm castings about 2 tablespoons of backstrap molasses and about 1/4 cup of coast of Maine plant food brewed for 24 hours. My goal is to set up the tent with a no till bed and learn no till organics and Korean natural farming techniques, but for now I'm just trying to get a few plants to grow and learn along the way.
I have not kept any journal up to this point. i have been watering the plants about every other day adding a splash of fox farms big bloom and keeping the ph in the mid 6 range. I'm not going to get too specific with anything the plants seem to be happy so i don't want to throw a bunch of nutrients at them. The light doesn't come with any instructions but i have been setting it based on the par charts on the manufacturers site while trying to carefully find the limit of the plants. Kicked the rest of the plants out this week.
I'm wondering if i should be getting ready to kick it to flower? this is my first time growing I'm not sure if its starting to get over crowded. I know cramming 4 different strains in a 2x4 also isn't ideal should i consider a scrog to keep things at the same height?
Hi there!
You are no where near overcrowding the tent at this point.
You can check my diaries to get the idea. Basically if you use scrog net and you have 70% of the horizontal space used then the rest 30% will fill during the first weeks of flowering.
You can add the net in there to keep even canopy but if you have many lights you can just adjust the heights too
