Week 4 Update ā Progress and Adjustments š±
Itās been another eventful week in my grow tent! Hereās how things are shaping up:
GHF#2 Update:
I decided to let GHF#2 go and followed the community's advice to rename #3 to AN#3. Iāve been preparing my osmosis water with CalMag Xtra, bringing the EC to 0.35, and adding nutrients to reach a total EC of 1.2.
AN#3
This plant has been a challenge from the start, struggling with deformed cotyledons and unusual leaf patterns. However, thereās finally some good news! The roots are healthy and reaching the potās edges, and growth is picking up steadily. Adjusting the pH and nutrients seems to have helped a lot.
BioBizz#1
Iāve moved this one to the larger tent, and itās been performing well despite a slightly yellowish tint. Itās now on its way to flowering (currently at BT2). Unfortunately, the usual CalMag deficiency has reappeared, even with 1.3ml/L CalMag and 0.05g/L Epsom salt in the feed.
AN#4
This plant is thriving with no visible deficiencies, drinking 1L per day. However, I noticed pre-flowering signs while still on an 18/4 light schedule. Has anyone else experienced this with photoperiod plants? Otherwise, everything looks great, and Iāve been feeding it at an EC of 1.5.
Container Size Feedback
Iāve realized that 9L pots are a bit too small for my setup. Iām watering 3L every two days now, and I believe 12-15L pots would be ideal for future grows.
Timelapse Recovery!
For AN#3, I identified a potential issue with the pH of the drain waterāit was as low as 5.3 after its first feeding with Advanced Nutrients. Before that, it only received plain tap water. Iāve corrected this with pH-adjusted water (6.6) and nutrients at an EC of 0.9. You can see its steady recovery in the timelapse!
Overall, things are coming together, and Iām excited to see how the plants perform in the coming weeks. Thanks for following along!
