Lets start off with Thank You RIU!!!!
This will be my first time actually posting and interacting but i have been on this site countless times since i first started. I have a couple solid cycles under my belt now so its time to put myself first and go with something 100% Organic. I used fox farm previously so my feet are a little bit wet but now its time to dive deeper. I was going to wait so there was actually something fun to look at for all of you but it seems im having some small issues
(to some it might not be anything but I want this to be spot on). So my hope as times before the genius minds that roam this site can possible help a little bit.
The setup!
2x1000w quantum ballast with 2x6" cooled hoods, 4'x8'x7' tent = Flower
1x1000w quantum ballast(running at 75%), unvented 5'x6' area = Veg
Nuts!
The Go box(General Organics) the whole line up bought the kit to get all my little friends started then going to buy the real bottles when they are needed. ( i did read alot about the line and some say they have weak areas so i also have some Humboldt honey es+duece duece from a previous venture to put in if needed). I understand you dont need to check ph and ppm etc... with this line but i do anyway i just wanna exactly whats going in.
Soil!
Advanced sunshine #4
Promix (all purpose)
I got both because i heard pros and cons about both so its time to see whos right.
both mixes got mixed evenly with more perlite(lighten it up a lil) and Dolomite(ph buffer). Container sizes are a little diffrent ran out of the large ones but calling this a experiment too. I read a tap root can grow to 6" before true leaves even show(sorry i dont remember who posted it). so i wanted to make sure they had room for that. then the opposite side(wet and dry spots). Not sure if the large containers are to big for seedlings to go into it can obviously lead to dry/soaked- areas that kill new root growth. So well see what time tells.
My little seeds hit distilled water one september 3rd. 24hrs later they got taken out and put into rapid root plugs (clone trey) and put under 24hr light(2' t-5). uplanted into pots by the 10th.(typing this i might decrease that time next time seems to long to be in little plugs). I have been slowly raising the strenght of the nut solution and dropping humidity as time passes.
Temp 75-83
Humidity 60-50%.
Everything looks really good so far and has been growing faster then i have ever previously seen so smoke to that!
Now to the issue i am getting some small curling on my leaf tips with yellow-slight brown discoloration. im assuming not over fert since i am not to full strenght yet. was thinking maybe when watering some nut water got on them and burned or when spraying azamax possibly a little to strong for the little dudes(just not getting either of those feelings though feel its nute/ph related)? I cant figure out how to post pics so thats my next goal right now.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, im sure i forgot to add some important details already.
Comments and improvments are highly appreciated and the reason im here so please lay them on thick! I wont take any offense
Cheers!
