out of mgmc
out of mg organic choice potting mix
in fox farm ocean forest (70%) and fox farm light warrior (30%) with a small small layer of perlite at the bottom of each pot for better drainage .
Man real page turner here---I love all the ideas. I use Miracle G's new soil
Yes it is on the 7 side of the green soil meter which BTW is abbrev in my journal WSPH wet soil Ph
The Dolomite lime was an interesting experience for me that stuff I have yet to figure and from what I read it is a time release type deal Like Months!
I have a pic to attach my first inside grow
I had the same issue except not for heavy Purple stems. That is a deficiency of sorts.
Yet a clone is the same as a 4 month old plant so you will see mature things quicker
(not mustaches or tits haha)
but stem streaks etc...
I think it is a Sulfur deficiency that makes the plant have a multitude of purple stems with the leafs lightning. Source the Medical Growers Bible.
Yet I doubt your soil is lacking it more like a nute lock out as Sulfur is an immovable nutrient. Your water is best served from the night before (as chlorine from city blows off) i don't wait always... 6.5 to 6.0 is how I serve the water. Also get a Ph water meter as they are different then soil.
Contraryto someone here but the PH is is OK down to 6.3 see some Seed growers sites and the recommendations.
Transplanting---as you maybe doing this right now and I hope you used vitamin B at
1 oz to 1 gallon plus a few drops of Super thrive take plant out of current medium and dunk into a 5 gallon bucket at that ratio if for some reason after adding Lime your Ph is going down crazy.
Getting Ammonium Nitrogen or something like that it says 20-0-0 is the stuff to lower your Ph in the soil and also is why it climbs after growing in it. the plant takes Nitrogen after a month of Lights on 18 hours and the WSPH climbs and that is why you add Nitrogen (very sparingly) as that will burn your shit like a Tijuana burrito.
Flush Transplant after setting in new medium with Vitamin B at mixture above at 3 times the amount of container size...
this will also help with a good flush of old used up salt nutes in roots and help with a soil marriage and not get an air gap lock out with your t-plant.
let drain do this in the morning early let her drain out and preferable outside or open air with good fans. Sometimes a humidity dome will help a girl out in shock. Yes, I know a lot of the soil comes out with that flush O.K replace with Pete Moss on the top so Roots are not open and will be great for feeding in a few days.
You got this and with hydro your mistakes are less tolerant. Yet the Results seem to be great as the videos you mentioned are good ones.
Perlite is nothing more then Styrofoam that absorbs water so the soil is drain able.
Pete Moss or whatever the Physo name is will also help hold your Ph down, Try this formula and see if you like.
Let it stand for a day then water soil and check WSPH Transplant if you like.
1 foot of Miracle grow soil about enough for a nursery 5 gallon container Not a painters!
Soil mixture 80% MG soil 20% Pete Moss
1/2 tablespoon Ammonium Nitrogen 20-0-0 blend
2 tbsp of garden Lime
see your soil sit at 6.5 there abouts see my plants after emergency T-plant as described above because Lime was crazy.
Remember at Flowering to leave a couple of inches to stir in a tbspoon of Super Bloom the first week of Flowering.
I also go every other time with food and when feeding the water and Nutes are at 6.5 or lower before watering as not to increase PH with Water or whatever food you are giving her. Actually the MG food for planted pots for use with watering buckets has a great blend of metals along with the right NPK. Every other time on that stuff Hope this helps... Long but I need the distraction.
Also that Nitrogen is sold for like 7 bucks for 20 lbs you can make a solution at 1/4 tbs to 16oz sprayer and use for natural bug repellent and the leafs love it.
Peace out 5000
but I have some good news, a couple of 5 gallon buckets and a pump and your growin hydro its cheap and the best part is it simple to adjust at any time. trust me man do some research and be creative. I have had hardly any problems since i started growin hydro. and the growth is amazing, good luk
