I water daily it's a about a 3.5 gallon pot I'm assuming on size alone. I water 3.5 liters nute free once a week and water around half liter of nutes ever 2nd day and a half liter of plain room temp water ever other day. Sadly 7.0ph but I work around it here and there.
Tiger bloom. Grow big. Big bloom. I gotcha!i got the fox farm trio, not sure of the names currently. they were from a previous grow. dont get me wrong though, when i need them i will use them
When you say 7ph is that water going in or runoff? I can put 7 in but I get way different numbers on runoff. The soil is a buffer for ph
That's 7ph going in and around 7-6.5 coming out I have only done a run off test once a week ago as I don't have a PH tester and used my buddy's.
itll be interesting to see how yours turns out and how mine turns out. when i watered my first plants every day i had ran into multiple problems. everything from nutrient deficiency to burning them, root rot and gnat flies. my soil was not ideal by any means. thats why im sticking to the once a week watering, first crop scared me to much. i just use water out of my faucet honestly and it comes out perfectly at 6.5 so im lucky in that aspect. i havent ever measured my runoff. im sure theres benefits to it though. im still new at this also.
Seems like depending on who you ask measuring ph for soil is a waste of time or essential lmao. I think the key is to have a reasonably stable ph going in and more importantly no hazards like chlorine and such
I may slow my watering down a little bit reading your post. I would hate to run into root rot issues. I raise my pot off the ground after large waters to allow air flow to help dry the bottom of the pot and to catch run off.
I let my water sit for 24hrs before using it the allow the chlorine to evaporate out of the water I have heard that works.
Yeah it evaporates off. I've been using rain water myself
Perfect. I'll post some new photos with some worrying things I have noticed this morning
again, it was not ideal soil lol i literally went outside and grabbed soil out of my yard. im sure there was dog shit and all the other wonderful things you find outside in it. ashamed to even say that hahahaha. i have my pots raised from the drip trays constantly. if a root pops through the drain hole it will just air prune and die off instead of sitting in runoff sucking up nasty water i may have not drained. and yeah, the chlorine in tap water is a danger but it hasnt seemed to bother anything yet luckily, and i also heard letting water sit for a bit lets the nastier chemicals evaporate. i bottle all my gallon jugs at once and let them sit for almost a week before they get used. i would love to run rain water in my plants but its illegal in illinois and im not up for getting busted for collecting rain water.
whats the distance from your light(s)?
I'd back off on feeding as well as water. But I'm a noob myself so idk
In the pics I raised it up for better photo light.
I can back off of both and post follow up pics in a week or so when the results would be in. Reading now I think I'm watering a little to much to often and I will cut nutes to 75% from where they are now.
id agree on the cutting back on the watering and nutes. but dont totally stop with the nutes, may throw it into shock. the watering i would just space it out a little more. the roots need oxygen also and daily watering will compact your soil bad. letting it dry out some is a good thing. but other than that i would sit back and watch to see what she does. are you training them or just letting the braches flow?
I won't cut nutes out completely I'll cut down to 75% of what it's at now. And I'll space watering to twice a week or as needed. I'll try 1.75L twice a week now see how she responds to that.
