Watering week 1-3

Tamotsustarted grow question 5 years ago

How much water is required for around 20l pot bags (around 17l full with 3 parts compost [NPK 12-14-24], 3 parts peat moss, 2 parts pearlite, 1 part vermiculture) per 24h in the first weeks (1-3)? Thank you

Shagrathanswered grow question 5 years ago

Hi there! Basically the soil needs to be wet around the root area. So you don't need to give that much during first weeks and if you wet the whole 20l bag most of the water will just evaporate in to the air 'cos the roots cant drink all of it. Maybe ~0.5l would be a good to start with or even less. If the soil feels dry after this ofc you can give more but just dont over do it. Perlite helps aerate the soil so overwatering is not so easy to do but vermiculite holds moisture so yuou dont need to add trhat much water.

runoff PPM elevated, how does this approach sound...Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input, does this sound like an ok idea?

When to harvest?Beginner question: Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange. Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already. RQS says 8-9 weeks. Starting week 9 soon.

Genetics or budrot?Hi all, my Royal Jack Auto from RQS is in 7th to 8th week and on the tip of the main cola these red, brownish spots appeared. Humidity has been 50% yesterday and before 40-45%, plenty ventilation in the tent. Around 24 to 28 °C. Could this be the start of budrot or am I paranoid?

Auto(not)flowering One of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently. I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!
