***** Week 2 - November 21 to 27, 2020 - Days 8 to 14 from germination *****
Pretty solid first week. She has been going on her own and not a lot of help from me other than a support for her stem and working getting the light at the right height for her.
At the start of the week we have two sets of leaves and she is working on the third already. Good solid progress. This week will likely introduce all the veg nutes that will be used and expect her to get wider and leaves to get larger all around. This is an important foundation week........keep her happy, microbes going in, ensure environment doesn't mess up and she will start forming more roots to further help with nutrient uptake.
Daily Details..........
Nov 21/20, Day 8
- 500ml - RO water with Sensi Grow, Velokelp, CalMag+, Microbial Mass @ 1ml/l = 500ppm and 5.8pH (Adding the CalMag really increases the ppm in a feed)
- this is a stronger feed but she has been going hard so will see if she wants higher nutes as well.
- Her stem is slowly gaining some weight and getting thicker.
- Actually had some runoff water today......close to the right amount going in for now.
Nov 22/20, Day 9
- Nothing today. She seems to be doing well and green......let her ride a day:)
Nov 23/20, Day 10
- 500ml RO water with Sensi Grow, Velokelp, @ 2ml CalMag+, Piranha @ 1ml/L = 850ppm and 5.8pH
Nov 24/20, Day 11
- 500ml RO water with Sensi CalMag @ 2ml
- more of a plain watering but with RO water still adding some CalMag.
- side branching coming out now and visible.
Nov 25/20, Day 12
- No top watering today. She has been given a fair number of ML’s the last couple of days so will leave the media along and give a little folier spray.
- OpticFolier Overgrow applied to her today as given to purple lemonade so I decided to hit this girl as well.
- happy and don’t see a number of burnt tips after application😀
Nov 26/20, Day 13
- 500ml RO water with Sensi Grow, Velokelp, Piranha, CalMag+ @ 1.5ml, Vitathrive @ 1ml
- 750ppm and 5.8pH
- she gave runoff so we are in the range watering volume.
Nov 27/20, Day 14
- dry out day.......no watering today.
- Spray with Overgrow again tonight to provide nutrients. Gave the tops of the leaves a good wetting.
- She has reacted well to no watering yesterday and is perky all day today.
Keep growing strong Growmies..........have an event free week😷👍
Hi @@ALTINPIPO, they are 12L. I am going to give some 5 gal try once my bags are done. Like air pots, I do miss being able to dump a bunch of water in the top though. You have to take your time with hand watering.
Cheers and have an event free week😃💪
Thank you for this massively detailed diary. May I ask a question about your lights? I have been following along and find that you are adjusting the lights each week to find the sweet spot. When you are trying to dial in your lights, what are you looking for to let you know that you are close to perfect? Is it a combination of lowing the wattage and lowering/raising? What is your secret light adjustment sauce? I read in the week 5 that you are looking for the leaves to droop a bit if the light is too intense/close. Thanks so much!
Brilliant mate I am Just about to order for first time off fast buds this gives me the boost a need think I will change from the coco to the nutrients you are using this will be my second time doin it keep it up mate
