I have run a lot of seedling threads and this is just the latest installment. I am opening my veg room up to the general members of Rollitup once again and everything is the same as before, T5 Lightwave unit, desktop fan etc etc. I just harvest a plant a week or so and my veg room simply needs to produce a plant ready to flower every week or so to keep my flowering room continuous, simples!
I grow short and fat, top early and Lst lots with plenty of pinching and bending in between to keep small for the flowering room. I yeild big enough to never have to buy weed from my local neighbourhood dope feind and only use Cfl's and flouros to do it, 600watts in total, 100watts in the veg room and 500watts in the flower room.
Simple soil mix, multipurpose westlands store bought soil, perlite 30%, Vermiculite 10% Lime 2% and mix well.
Pics show me re-potting up a plant from 4inch pot to 7inch final flowering pot. Notice the size of the plant for its small pot, Rootbound only just which is why im transplanting it. This is showing in the slight purpling in the leaf stems and getting a little droopy too.
Anyone talks about being rootbound and needing a re-pot then just make sure their about the size of mine first or basically you have cultural and environmental problems you need to sort out first. Some of the small ass plants i see with people saying transplant is simply ridiculous, false economy with todays soil prices!
So notice the roots and structure, so many people go on about the roots at the bottom of the pot! Big deal these are the first and fastest to form, try waiting for the roots to establish in the rest of the soil like me, notice the roots around the sides of the soil mass.
My water is normally pH8.1 but as winter approached it quickly dropped to pH7.4. Maybe my water supplier has switched resovoir or adding less to the water as its cooler and less bacterial growth. Personally i dont care and dont pH water as there is a big difference between the pH of the fertilizer solution and the Ammoniacal nitrogens effect on the soils pH.
For the watering in i simply added some Gnat off (stupid little gnats just wont go away!) and some benificials for the soil in the form of various funghis and bacterias. The other ingredients i might use are on the right, maxicrop seaweed, fish emulsion (veg fert) and a touch of cal/mag for my soft water. Peace
