Hi Guys ! 😀
Welcome to my first diaries !
Here we have a little BLUE DREAM AUTO from HSO, in 100% coco coir.
I am growing this crop on my window (south facing) and therefore do not yet have a grow tent. So it will grow in the natural sunlight of September. I have therefore chosen to put it in coco coir to optimize the nutrition of the plant as the light will not be optimal.
For this first week, I was confronted with the specificity of the coco coir:
- My PH was too low during the first 3 days of culture (5.2).
- After several light waterings without drains, my EC out was 2.4 on Day 6. The salts accumulated and I proceeded to rinse with 40l of water at 0.8EC, PH5.5 and flawless (2ml/l) to come back to an EC out at 0.8.
Then I watered normally with TRIPART fertilizers only at EC 0.8 PH 5.5 and the plant seems to be quickly recovering from over-fertilization.
[NEXT WEEK] : Gradually increase the fertilization, maintain the PH at 5.5/5.8 instead of 5.2, water to the drain (until 20/30% of the given amount is recovered).
See you soon !! 😄
Hi guys !
We are now in our second week of growth.
The plant is growing well, but slowly considering the natural light cycle (sunlight), and the parameters that I do not control (Hygrometry, CO2...).
I watered this baby with an EC at 1 and a PH at 5.5.
I'll probably plan to give him a tea before flowering: Molasses, worm casting and guano (24 hours in a 3gall pot with bubbler) to increase the nutrient before stretching).
[NEXT WEEK] : Increase the PH to 5.7 and the EC to 1.2/1.3. I will also start the LST during next week or at the end of Week 3.
Question : Wich growing led is the best between the SPIDER FARMER SF1000 and the MARSHYDRO TS1000 (dimmable) ???
See you soon !
Hi Guys, sorry i'm Late !! 😅
Everything is ok with the little one, just a mistake that I will develop below
I gave him a Tea compost to develop the roots and improve his development:
- 3L of osmosis water
- 6ml of Humic Fulvic
- 6ml BUBBLE ZYM
- 2 tablespoon of Bat Guano
- 2 Tablespoon of Molasses
>> Let it rest and 48H with a bubbler to oxygenate the solution and PH set at 5.8.
Knowing that there is no a priori risk of overfeeding with this type of contribution (seen on the internet). After 48 hours, the EC of the soup was 7, I still chose to lower it to 3 before watering.
[MISTAKE] : After giving the solution, I put two tablespoon of guano on the surface of my pot thinking of improving the quality of my soil...
>>>> I actually exploded the amount of nutrients in my soil and over-fertilized my plant : My EC OUT came out at 2/2.2 instead of 1.2/1.3.
[SOLUTION]: I flushed her with about 10 liters of water at 5.8PH and 0.5EC with only Flawless Finish to get back to an EC or 1.2.
So we go back to the daily routine at 5.8PH & 1.2/1.3EC.
See you next week ! 😁
Hi guys !
This week was a little bit tricky : I got bugs into my coco coir (Video above), and my EC out was a little bit to high.
I've tried to give her 1.5 EC because the blooming started (J29), but few hours later, the leaves of the plants was "eagles claw", So i flushed the coco with a bit of flawless to return to an EC out at 1.3. PH is still 5.8
The plant don't seem to be affected by the bugs.. But i've read that they could kill the roots..
I will treat the bugs tomorrow with Neem oil, I wish everything will be fine..
>> Please comment if you met this shit, and what have you done to solve this problem ?
About the feeding, I will stop the humic fulvic and start to ad slowly the pk boost when the first buds will come.
I also add 1ml/l of Calimag cause i use RO water.
See you next week !! 😄🕉️
Hey guys ! 😄
The LED is now here ! 🎇 One of my best friends lend me his MarsHydro II 900 340W (Full Spectrum) for the blooming of my little girl ! So, the plant grown faster than on the window sill.
I started to add the pk boost slowly.
As you could see, i've made a little watering system 💦 :
I have my 3gal tank with a water pump which send the solution to 4 dripper.
The drain go to another 1gal tank where i could check my EC out.
I've add some clay pebbles on the top of the pot (4/5cm) and about twenty matches to struggle against the sciaridae.. I also added a "fly tab rubber" in the space, and add some "Oxyboost" (Peroxyde d'hydrogène 12%) to try to kill them.
The oxyboost seem to limit the propagation of the bugs, i do it 1 time a week to not damage the plant.
NEXT WEEK : I will LST the secondary branches to improve the light penetration, and increase the EC to 1.6 PH 5.9
Happy growing ! 🕉️
See you soon
Hi Guys !
The plant suffered of a Nitrogen/Calcium deficiency, so I fed her with more FloraMicro and I raised the CaliMagic dose for the past week.
She's lookin fine today !
I think I killed all the bugs, I added some Neem Powder on the top of the soil and 3/4cm of clay peebles !
The blooming really starts and this little girls starts to smell weakly.
I just remove the leaves that covered the Bud, and I did some LST that works a lot !
See you next week, keep on growing !🕉️
Hey Guys ! 😁
Buds are coming !
We are in the last week of feeding, next week, I will start flushing for about 10 Days before the Harvest.
This week was quiet, the plant ate a lot : EC in at 1.8 out at 1.4 > 2 times per days.
This week I will increase the EC at 2.0 to finish her.
She beginning to smell good and to make tricomes !
There is only one thing : I got 3/4 branches that seems to be less developped than the rest of the plant > Light reflection problem ??
See you soon, keep growing !🕉️
Hi guys !
Sorry i'm late :(
I started the flushing yesterday by dropping my EC out at 0.3.
So I will feed her 10 days with only Flawless at the lowest EC Level as possible, 6PH and finally cut her ! :D
See you soon !
