Gave a little spritz of water today, Nothing significant just keeping the soil moist
The temperature is sitting around 76° while the humidity is sitting around 70° today
the moisture meter is reading right in the middle
Everything‘s good to go
There wasn’t much to do today. The top bit of soil was a little dry, so it went ahead and spritz it with the pH balanced water. The moisture meter was reading around 4 to 5 which seemed to be good.
heat and humidity are being regulated very nicely right now
Looking forward to seeing the progress in the next couple days
————
I checked back later after the workday and we had two pokes!
I watered with the mister today, Nothing to a significant just to keep the topsoil moist
I added 1 inch thick iso board under the tent into the side walls to help retain some of the heat
humidity and temperature are working pretty well so far
A little more growth happening, it is noticeable, but nothing crazy
Things are looking pretty fantastic. Noticeable growth since yesterday and the humidity and temperature are holding consistent; The poly iso board is very helpful. keeping the heater low to medium now. using an Edenpure quart heater
temperature has been sitting around 76°F today. The humidity has been fluctuating but staying pretty steady in the mid 70%.
did a little watering today in the morning, pots still felt heavyish, and the top soil was still damp. No watering in the PM.
made up some water with a 6.23 pH
I have set the blower to standby off that has helped regulate the humidity a bit better
The poly iso board is holding the heat in and the humidity is being controlled nicely by the ventilation fan
I ended up setting the ventilation fan automatic and setting the standby Speed to off, which is really helped to keep the humidity where it needs to be
When I need to bring it down it is good to know that I can pull that humidity out.
I will also plan on putting the humidifier outside of the tent near the intake when I need to bring it down during the flowering stage
there was no need to water today as the moisture meter on both plants was reading moist
I will water tomorrow
the pH in the back plant was a little higher and needs to be kept watch on
the back plant also has a little white on its backside leaf that we will also keep an eye on
It’s all looking good. I watered the center of the pots today. Moisture meter was reading a little bit dry, but I still don’t want to run into overwatering so I’m probably on the cautious side, but I will water more if needed
I moved the humidifier to the outside of the tent and actually I’m seeing the humidity. Stay stable where I need it to be and it’s gonna keep it from running all the time which I’m pretty happy about now.
Moving the light down an inch as well
I watered about a quarter gallon in each pot as a photo that light and they fell a little little dry
Humidity and temperature or staying stable gonna wait one more day and I will lower the lights just a little
I’ll turn up the intensity as well
I think I’m dealing with a little bit of wind burn so I went ahead and moved the light up just a little bit and I moved the fan up so it’s not directly on this plant if at all
The pots were pretty light so I went ahead and watered them with a quarter gallon each right in the center
Watered the plants until they were thoroughly moist at the top as they were a little dry
Humidity and temperature were well regulated today
The second plant (I moved it on the right) is looking much better
moving the clip fan up also seems to have helped
Both have shown growth74
I am keeping my light at 23 inches because I noticed a little bit of light burn so as I turn up the intensity and start to titrate that up, I need to make sure that the tips of the leaves aren’t yellowing
it seemed like Ronald had a little bit of light stress from it today so we’re gonna nip it in the butt now
Debbie still is showing growth, but still the runt
I watered them a quarter gallon each
I did not have to do too much
I came home for just a little bit to check on everything and check on the plant
There is still water down by the bottom of the plant so I know there’s still full and well watered
Ronald seems to have been doing a little bit better and we see that Debbie is actually growing a little bit too
did slight LST on Ronald
Temperature is 76° humidity is 64%
Water .25 gallons
We’ll start to think about adding nutrients within the week
Need the humidty higher like 70-80 mines still 70+ at 75 or higher put a dome on it for sure if u dont have a humidifier
I was keeping it at 72%+ for the first 2 weeks… Do you think I should just dome the smaller one for now? What would you use?
Dome for sure much easier till she gets too big for the dome
That’s a good idea What would I use to dome it properly? Plastic bowl? A tent out of chopsticks and plastic wrap? Those were my thoughts🤷♂️
Cut the bottoms off 2 liter bottle. Adjust airflow with cap and/or poke hole in the bottle
That’s awesome, easy enough! Thank you 🫡
🤙🏿
Mine are 4 weeks old look at my recent grow i keep them above 70 still i dont even cut holes just dont put it into the soil and when u cut it cut it sloppy so there is room under for air to get in but u can cut some small holes at the top like he said im just lazybneed to soak it then let it dry some then water its a big pot so shoild be able to h9ld alot those probes suck just use ur finger shove into soil up to first nuckle if dry give it some those bags dont hold water well i use them too i water pften
I put a dome over top of Debbie
This is recommended by users and community based on the slow progress she was making
I gave them both a good watering as well as the soil has been dryer lately from the perlite
Looking to make up my first batch of nutrients tomorrow to water Ronald
We’ll keep a dome over Debbie for about four days
Watered Debbie with a little mist just keep her moist and humidity under the cup going
I also watered Ronald and he seems like he’s doing a little bit droopy after the watering, but he should come back
I added 1/4 strength Big grow for his nutrients
Leaving the cup on top of Debbie still, we’re seeing some new growth, but the light burn definitely affected and stunted at her
Ronald is continuing to grow, and his leaves are looking pretty great
The slightest of yellowing is seen on his tips, I suspect that this is from the nitrogen feed
no water today
will water tomorrow with plain pH water on both plants
500 mL each
I would feed her. Shes eating herself.
Feed with big bloom?
What nutrients do you have?
The fox farm trio: big bloom, big grow, tiger bloom
Start with ¼ strength of big grow
Perfect! That was actually my plan when I got off work today Glad I had the right train of thought, I appreciate you!! You are defiantly saving my first grow!
No problem! I wanna see everyone thrive! You're doing great with the thought process 👌🏿👍🏿
I ended up watering the plants about a half gallon each
Keeping the dome over Debbie still
Seeing someone improvement, but Ronald is the star today
I moved the light up 1 inch to take off some of the stress of Debbie
Way too much water for the small ones. They need a lil dry back too brodi 🤘
It was more like 400-500ml I was lazy with the speech to text
But I was planning on that, how long would you say???
It's very difficult to judge the correct amount of H20 in larger containers when the plants are so small. But water about 2" from the stem to coax them out. They benefit from a bit of dry back so the roots can breathe due to the air to water ratio being so low. I go by the weight. It will stay wet down low a lot longer than you may think.
What he said less is more with water an up from that
Sorry not on here much anymore if you have a question pm me I give discord or anything else
An 5 gallon pots with fox farm dirt I water every 3 days an I use a lil strawberry jam bottle to water. Ya ok it's a pain but that's stops me from giving too much. An I only give two 538g bottles per plant but mine are on full veg. meaning on the third day that morning after 2 hrs after the lights have been on I water
I think I’ve definitely fallen into the over watering trap for this first grow I’ve backed off and it seems to be doing much better, The runt is showing some faster growth under the cup dome I have it under, and I moved thit light a bit away from her
It's not hard my fruity Pebbles Og is giving me hell all other look fine oh an my sunshine daydream but all 20 others look peachy Send me a private message saying hey then send me a picture of that runt cause you should only dome when babies?
I think at the level of tracking I am doing, with the ggs controller, imma just switch to photos in the future lol
Performed actiontype.watering
👍🏿💯💪🏿
It’s getting there 🤠
Get all that soil wet too so her roots can expand to new areas of the pot 🫡
Good to know cause I’ve only been watering the center still , I’ll soak her a bit more tonight🫡
Might I suggest bottom watering... your plant will go crazy. Water the tray from the bottom till shes done drinking. Its gonna be a lot at first but the roots will go crazy and grow out the bottom
I have been vacuuming out some of the runoff, I should actually do the opposite and put water in the black tray? I can’t wait till my second grow already 😂
I pushed Ronald over today
Tried to add another bud clip, but it needs another day or two for the stem to grow a little longer
so it turned into a little LST with just my fingers instead
Debbie is on the up and up and looking better
This is actually the first time I’ve seen her with true green leaves
Sadly, I think my mistake of doing LST too early on her is my downfall
her stem is purple and thin
Since it was my first grow, what I thought were to be nodes and leaves turned out not to be and Kohls me to jump ahead and schedule a little faster than I should’ve
Watered Ronald with nutes
Debbie got Some pHed
LST on Ronald; he’s looking good
She needs calmag buddy see how veins are neon not much but enuf to get her goin, first picture left hand side. I didn't look at others but it your doing the same for all up your calmag a lil 5th picture plant is flowering early jus a headsup
I gave her some, at 1/8 strength Bump it up?
Early mistakes during my first grow definitely set me back
It seems that I’m hitting the pre-flowering stage due to time
Definitely the last time I’m going to order any auto seeds
It would have been nice to have the flexibility of photo periods to be able to have time to correct mistakes
it is what it is
I received some help from this app and was advised to add some Calmag and silica
greatly appreciated advice, and the nutrients arrive tomorrow
I did give them a hefty watering to really just flush them
No worries bro we will get em figured out an watch the next ones your grow will be 💯 percent better. An I agree auto are a pain
I watered with nutrients today
Cal Mag
Silica
Bloom
Tiger bloom
grow big
Kept the ratios around the 1/4 measurement
took down the big grow (nitrogen base) down to 1/8
finding I might have to move my dehumidifier to keep the RH down
Debbie is getting frosty and I’m just hoping for one nug
Ronald is looking pretty good and would be doing better if I didn’t screw up early on
I love when people but details on what they are using and doing it’s out so much to understand what’s going on but they look great
Thank you! Just trying to keep track of all my fuck ups so I can fuck up less the next grow 😂
Me too I’ve been keeping a journal plus putting it on here trying to learn some new school ways I look at growing like a teenager sometimes they want attention and sometimes they want to be left alone but as long as you give them right amount of food and water and give them a nice place to live. And make them touch grass and get sunlight they will do good anything else is usually our fault or a bully 😂
I tucked a couple leaves , but that’s it
Just letting Ronald grow now
Buddy. Ronald needs to go to the gym
It’s an auto, there is nothing I can do now 😪
Lol. Keep trying bud you'll get it
I use waxed twine and I start YOUNG, tie them down to the pot and let them go!
Is that a moisture meter in the photos?
That moisture meter is a giant POS hahaha it kinda works, but I don’t trust it I need to get a better one for my next grow Right now I just lift and feel
Like by weight? That’s kinda what I’m doing. Lol I seen some on amazon but the parts that reads I wasn’t sure how that worked so prob have to find a video lol I know I felt old as soon as I said it
Yeah, just a lift and feel I know what it feels like when it’s dry, and it’s pretty easy to pick up So any resistance, I make a note mentally of how heavy/moist it is The moisture meter isn’t terrible, But I feel like I have to twist it and ensure it’s not hitting an air pocket for it to read right I do feel like it helps with the checking of the soil pH though, because I can leave it in there and it usually settles on where the pH is that actually seemed pretty accurate
I need to start doing that I’ve testing my water before feeding but I don’t really chk the soil right now
I did the same , and then I did check it once and found I was running a little to low🤦♂️
See I know there is prob tons of stuff like I’m missing
Looking good today
Your getting some good growth each day
It’ll start to slow now, The stretch is ending and I gotta really just make sure to beef up what little buds I have 🥲
It’s looking good though and I’ll take quality over quantity any day
Watered with just pH nutrient free water today
Did some leaf tucking on Ronald
He is doing very well, and I believe coming near the end of his stretch
we’ll start to drop humidity a bit tomorrow
I’m going to have to set up some netting on a couple of mine soon
Nothing to do today
Being that this is my first time growing, It’s pretty cool to see the stretch of the plant in the last couple weeks
Starting to get frosty. And filling in good 🤘
That 1st pick is cool if you look at the last couple of pics of that one it’s really cool to see how it’s progressed and grown
It’s doing much better, it’ll at least produce something 🥲
I had two that looked stunted early one but I kept fight with them now they only look like a week or two behind but one I would happy even if I just got a zip out of it
If I get ONE JUICY nug off the stunted plant, I’ll lose my shit with joy 😂
Dude I feel ya especially when it comes my super lemon haze that’s the one I wanted the most but it got stunted in the beginning then I got to where I could top it once and something took off one the two stems that grow back in after ya top so the struggle is real with this one but I fig what the heck try it
It was a little tough to regulate my humidity at first as well I actually bought the Spider Farmer humidifier because it was on Amazon prime day deals lol
I picked a couple things too I noticed they had a heater too on sale
Waiting for it to go more on sale… I need it too
Yeah I’m setting up in an out building and winters get cold here
Have you tried low-stress training? It will help you establish a much more productive canopy
Wet trimmed and got it drying 🤠
Congratulations on your grow
Dry time baby! Getting ready to be high times lol way to go bub
Good job far cry from when I met yuh !!!! Onto bigger an better girls next run for ya 🤞🤘👌 Proud of you dude.
Thank you!!
Thank you, I’m excited to finally try it It just so happens the curing will be good to go on my birthday 🎂
I appreciate it! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Dude that’s awesome and happy early birthday
Nada problem what you gona plant next??
What do you want? To see a spinning fan and a dark tent?
No but really, dry is going well and managing environment well
Nearly breakable stems
Still don’t snap though
No rush, just happy to see them shiny and mold free!
That’s the method I use too the stem snap but this year for the cure I’m ordering a bunch of those small hydrometer that shows temp and humidity and I’m stuck one in each jar
Next run id go a little longer. Who was helping ya tell when to pull buddy?
Probably coulda waited a lil longer but Congrats on the pull!
Just think as long as you keep learning this will be your wrist grow ever, you only get better with time
Congrats on the buds
It's way too much stress for this little guy to be in during this stage. Let him do his thing and get bigger. you can see it it in the leaves he isn't doing well
Would you say that for both plants? Ronald, my stronger one had some light burn I believe on the lower but has been green and great since Debbie is the one for sure I know is stressed… but since it’s on, I’m going to leave it and I’ll leave it alone going forward based on your advice I’d hate to stress it more by just taking it off now after it being on all day Thank you!
Dee is right. Too much stress. In the beginning, they use a lot of energy to build a root system to support the plant. Let her grow free till she looks better. Try to only stress the plant when shes at 100%
Thankyou!!!
No problem! 👍🏿
Is it an auto? I would start it in a smaller pot and up pot that what i always do i start with a coco pot with humity dome i would definately add one of those for sure since their so small i keep my domes even after i up pot into a 2 gallon for a while i get bigger domes the bigger they get then when thier too big i get my humidifer going kepp it around 70 75 they love it also that meter says ur dry so ur gonna need to keep up on the watering she needs to have more moisture
It is, a smaller pot to start might be helpful to control them evenly too
Ok so i just rembmberd it the same spot as where u would top ealriest so 5th node thats when its best to start bending them i just start bending there by hand should be easy to bend if it hard dont do it there once its big enough to get ur clip in between the nodes then just put it there https://youtu.be/lMmejhAdfKE?si=j4W7DmMPjHCtMPpq
That’s was helpful, I’m going to have to watch more lol First time Thank you!
Yea i done all my learning on you tube theres alot of help
Also check out my latset im not turning it anymore but not autos so i topped 1x and hand train daily
