Livinthadream grow #1 3x3 sf2000

livinthadream · Sep 25, 2023

What's up everyone!!
Sharing my grow with everyone...please feel free to add comments and tips as I am no where near a seasoned grower.

Currently have these little ladies going, gonna move the 4 mozzarella soon and I will be just left with 3 of the Skunk#1 for now
Plan on transplanting to bigger pots in a few days
G13 genetics
4 Mozzarella
3 SKUNK #1

they all popped out of the dirt 15 days ago
I germinated them on 9/4 (8 seeds)
all germinated in 2 days ( cup with water thru them in)
Planted 9/6
By 9/13 all popped up but one, lost one

They all have had one feeding of Mexican bat qauno,.otherwise straight water pH6.5
Now sure why some leaves are turning yellow
Have them in a 3x3 SF tent with a sf2000 on them...40% power 20inches away

they look a little hungry. i dont think bat guano is an immediate feed kinda thing. could also be overwatering. my $.02, get a bottle of veg feed and make sure the soil is well draining. you can add perlite to the soil to ensure proper drainage.

i only use bat guano say a week before going 12/12, and stop a few weeks b4 chop

Yea when I started them I couldn't find perlite locally and I wanted to keep all the soil I got local so I ended up ordering a massive bag of it...got to impatient n just mixed up my soil without it but once I transplant them they will have soil with lots of perlite in it

Also the qauno I am using has 4 different stages
And I really haven't been watering them alot...I think they have gotten 3 watering of 1/2 cup (they have always been super light when watering).

This is the soil I used, mixed all together

Transplanted all 7 today.
4 mozzarella are now in different room
Under a platinum LED series light (1000w)

3 Skunk#1 left in the tent
1 pot ready for Autoflower London creme cake
Plan is to start and finish the Auto while I veg the other 3
Adding another SF2000
Gonna top at probably 5th/6th node then start LST them
LFG!

Went to the local garden store to grab some nutes
Was gonna go with fox farm but decided to go with just some Gaia Green, mix it in the top soil and just plain water for now.
Got my London Cream Cake germinated and planted 2 days ago also

Updated pictures
Just trying to figure out what my issues are

livinthadream · Oct 6, 2023

Ok went out bought a soil tester, not digital but will give me good idea of pH and PPMs

Soil pH is around 7.2
PPMs are below 50

So I'm just gonna let them dry up and then feed them more guano tea that's coming in at about 370 PPMs, might add some cal-mag to the guano...also gonna adjust the pH of qauno down to 6.0 hoping that will help lower the pH of my soil

Be careful what you're measuring, or aren't measuring.

Organic nutrient concentrations are not accurately measured by a conductivity meter.

If you're referring to one of the ubiquitous 3-in-1"soil meters", they're useless for measuring pH.
To measure soil pH you need a real pH meter with the appropriate probe; and they ain't cheap either.
Alternatively, you can use a standard pH meter and do a slurry test to determine soil pH.

No bueno:

noted, guess I am going to put it back into the package and return it then....should i not trust the fert lvl reading then too I assume?
Also do you have a meter that you suggest getting?
Thanks

You need a real pH meter if you want to measure pH.
Apera, Bluelab, and Hanna all make quality meters.
The base Apera (PH20?) is ~ $50, probably the best bang for the buck.

Gave them a topping last night
Was told my soil is my issue
Gonna let these go and see how they turn out next grow I'll mix up a new medium
Gonna do straight RO pH 6.1 with lil bit of cal mag
