up untill a few days ago evry thing has been going perfectly,
3 out of 5 of my kc36 feminised seeds have germinated and servived (i waited a week and a bit then dug up the duds i could have had 4 plants) i germinated them in a a bowl of water then a cultivator floating in a 27c heated fishtank worked well thay were out and growing in a couple of days hence why i thought the outhers were duds,
then kept under 10w led floodlight,
once the leaves were at the edge of the cultivator pot (2inch square) thingy or the roots could be seen at bottom of pot i transplanted them to 15cm - 6in pots
& turned on the 150w minimax hps slowly lowering it till the soil was warming , watering consited of witing till the surface was allmost dusty - crusty the jhon-ings no1 soil was (sandy clayie) tempramentle over water it it turns to a block under water it it goes to dust and then a block when rehydrated,,, as i found with the seeds
the next repotting occured when i could see roots threw the bottom of my 6 inch pots i knew i had to buy some big one's but not to big for my grow space the best i could find was 35cm square pots i hope these will acomadate the plants needs,
i allso desided to go for westland multipurpous compost with mostier-lock (basicly wood chippings and mossy soil) the wole bag of westland went in to these new pots mixed with some of the jhon-ings stuff,
first time ive taken a brake and let the timers do the work and trusted the soil to hold enught moistier for 2 and a half days ha ha, electric had gone on my return amiture i know so plants have for the first time instead of reciveing 9am-12 (3hr) darkness got 9-7pm, second bad thing the soil looked like it was starting to mold with fuzz on it when i watered it it all disolved or something and to make things worse i notice a more pronouced lime green growing tips than before ive looked for problem solutions to that one but it may not be a problem?
the good news finally some new bits of kit turned up wether station clock for temp and humidity monitoring, ph testing strips, digital ones on its way so for the first time ever i gave them ph balanced water (i did use a soil tester on the soil wich resulted in ph6)
the wether station gave me bad news about the grow room it says avridgely 60-70% humidity with a temp of around 22c-30c both extrem cases normaly sits at 25c air flow is well leaveing alot to be desired i borght a carbon filtered extration kit off ebay sware its useless as the fan just cant suck enugth flows thare tho with no filter to make it worse i have an allmost air tight grow room sucking air from my upstairs nabours stairwell and am venting in to my living room which allways used to be cold as i cant mount any exterior vents without drawing attention, the only thing i can think is to pump more air threw thair with a new fan bigger filter ect as it is i think i need more light which = heat im shaw im on the edge of over heating the room as it is ?
i am still waiting for my recently borght duchpro ph- (i used viniger when i got my strips then the plants stood to attention ) a 12" ocilateing fan ,digi ph meter and my nutes bio bloom and grow ive been told to use nothing else,
cant wait to hear what you guys think i have no idea how well or badly thare doing really , i know soil molding is bad but im thinking thats related to air ,temp, curculation and humidity green tips im guessing are related to ph or haveing no nutes,
will add pics asap.
peace out pepole!
