Hey Everyone,
Happy summer to all in the Northern hemisphere.
My typical outdoor season got completely screwed up this year...but with much debate and cursing I decided to throw together a last minute outdoor. Neighbors and city be damned!
This blueberry cookie from Dinafem got thrown straight into a soaked peat pod and sprouted 3 days later. She had amazing growth in the first seven days. I thought she was stretching a bit but I think it's actually from being in the pod and not having the usual support of a soil cup. I'm very hopeful for this plant based on her first week.
For this grow I want to try to Keep It Simple! So I'm going to attempt to keep grow technology out, and let mother nature work her magic. I'll let this baby spend a couple weeks in the window and under cfls but then that's hopefully it.
I looked up the water report for my area and it's showing our Ph is coming in between 6.5-8..I think that should be alright with growing in soil, plus the majority of any nutrients added usually brings my ph down.
Happy growing. ✌️
"Happy summer to all in the western hemisphere"
bruh... that's not how seasons work 🤦♂️
also. a ph of 8 will be terrible for you. at first you won't have a problem but after a couple weeks - you'll see.
I know many ppl are strapped for cash right now (myself included) but with just 15$ you can resolve this and get peace of mind. Get a PH- that will last you ages AND a PH test kit with drops. those things IMO are better than having a PH pen and you can get over 500 tests out of one. Once u get the hang of it you will only be doing tests like once a week so you see how long it will last you. I think u really should consider.
if you want DM me and I'll show you the ones I mean. get both products delivered to your door in 48 hours.
best of luck to you growmie. Wishing u a successful grow and bountiful harvest
@DaSofaSurfer, I definitely agree with you that more often than not, when I don't ph it goes a little wonky.
And a secret between us... there's a couple weeks coming up where things get a little questionable, but I'm not sure if its because of underwatering(chronic drought, i was so busy for several weeks), outgrown container and the roots bound up, lack of extra nutrients because I only feed once a week, or because of ph.
When i checked the initial startup ph it was showing 6.6 and my area usually has the 2 different phs, springtime and fall. Fall usually spikes up to about 7.7-8.3
@Treighfunky, thanks tre. You should see the finish! Holy crap she got so purply red with the cold temps. I'm cutting her today before it freezes tonight.
@Treighfunky, thanks Treigh, this one has definitely turned out to be beautiful and strong. I've gotten lucky with a few good, unique and beautiful plants this year. 2020Garden good...2020year not so good. Lol
