My pH is 6.3. It has been no higher than 6.5 since i got my meter. That one plant has been like that since it was a seedling. I'm wondering if it is just a shit genetic. And as dry as i can check by hand and the pots get super light.
Pot gets super light means its taking everything you throw at it. Too dry can cause ph flux too. Are you watering solid like plenty water or still babying them with minimal water?
My bad took so long i passed out yesterday. I dont mean to intrude on your thing here its just an automatic i see things n respond to em.
When all fluid goes dry it leaves a salt which then when you feed again begins to build up in the medium. . Not watering thoroughly the extra salt buildup is added to your input every time you wet it. . Making it even hotter. Good clean rinse resets that. Then water til runoff each time. Most say 20% runoff. I just flush til it dont look dark coming out cause i dont use the meter. But after salts are rinsed away they will uptake and dry those pots quicker. Meaning must add fluids(water,feed) more often. But growth will move faster too.Ill look back at pot size you might want to up it too.
Oh yeah you want to up size pots if you have any. The smaller one is ok.just rinse good The other wants room and a rinse.
Oh Yeah. If you have ever read the journal of the seeds he is breeding even someone with as little experience as i have knows his plants are definitely of a higher quality than what I ordered. I'm excited to get them started.
They can be my next run. Plus a friend of mine has asked me to pop her seeds for her. She has bagseed as well. But I'm refusing to do it until she gets her equipment. I don't want her struggling like I did. When she gets here, I'm going to gift her a few of the ones I ordered. They'll be better than what she says are possibly 12 years old and from 8 different states.The only prop I'll give the overseas seeds is that the ones I ran (and am running) are BORINGLY consistent, and consistently excelaverage smoke
So my stuff arrived and i can't pick it up. It is at my boss's house and her aunt just died so she is out of town. I ordered some 5 gallon fabric pots and some FFOF soil to swap them to. That is also where my ppm meter is so I can't say what that is. I let them get a lot of runoff but it is a soil that retains a lot of moisture.
And all good. I got a bit stoned and passed out trying to respond to all these last night. Lol. But i enjoy the feedback. It's why I'm on here. I want that input since i want to be good at this. Eventually I want to breed some plants and seeds. That is a ways down the road though.
I am thinking that watering when lights come on would be much better choice. With that being said the center one looks very dry. I can tell by the way the soil has receded away from the pot. I would say that one needs water right away. Then try to get your schedule over to a lights on watering.
I used to water at lights on - always. But, sometimes just before lights out is when they need watering. I think it doesn’t matter. In nature, it can rain anytime, not just when the sun is coming up.
Yup. They can take water. The bigger one for sure. Lights on is usually best as Captc said. But dont be surprised if the big one wants more. They arent gonna die on you. Once you get your pots n all uppot the big one. Chit uppot em both. I think theyll like it. The littler one is concerning but alive. How often does that one seem to need water compared to the other. I know its less roots but is it taking up water?
I just watered them. I didn't get to check them yesterday due to my work schedule. It changes so much which is part of the reason I did 2am to 2pm. Gives me the best chance to check on them daily. Is it strange that even when fully saturated that soil still pulls from the side? I'll swap it for the next cycle though. Where I'm at the sun is so hot i always watered at night so as not to bake the roots.
Yes, it does. I think it is the soil i used originally. The sides will pull inward even after being fully saturated.
I am not sure what he is sending me. After reading his journal it could be anything. I know they will probably be regs so I'll pop a few. I just got another light as well which i think will help.
Yea seems like they always will go longer than i think before showing any signs of being underwatered. I favor the morning watering trying to reduce moisture during lights out. Just gives them a chance to dry up some before lights out.
Well, that sucks. I already watered them. They should be okay though. They will look like they did before by tomorrow. It's crazy.
