Indoor 5 tangerine dream auto in coco/perlite hempy buckets, 1800w (300w) led cob, 4x2.5 ft

[keineth00]

Title explains most the variables. 5 tangerine dream autos from growers choice. (First time ordering seeds went very smoothly from this seedbank).
Coco/perlite about 8:2, bottom of buckets are filled with 2" of perlite with a hole for run off. 5 gallon buckets that seeds went straight into 10 days ago. Coco was rinsed and buffered for 8 hrs with calmag. I have GH nova grow and bloom nutrients, sensi cal-mag, ph up and down, and an ec and ph meter.
I plan on using a 20/4 light schedule. Currently have an 1800w (300 true watts) cob led. 4 ft by 2.5 ft space lined with mylar
Led light has make shift reflector.

Light is about 30 inches away which puts my ppfd around 900 for 2x3 footprint (factory rate). Tower fan blowing constantly. During the day avg 85f 55rh at night about 75f 60rh. It is not a sealed room... i mist them every few hrs. Lights off between 1am and 5am. Feed about 3hrs before lights off. Around 2.5 cups of solution. They broke ground 7 days ago and for the first 5 days i gave calimag (225 ppm worth) and nova grow (225 ppm worth) for a total of 550 total ppm's with spring water having 15 ppm to begin. Phd to 5.8. Fed this once a day. About 2.5 cups worth around the seedling that gave a drop of run off. Did this until yesterday and today, I upped the 2.5 cups to 750 ppm to see if they can handle it. I know 750 ppm 1.5 ec is alot for day 7 seedlings but they've been eating 550 ppm since birth and loved it. I'll post single pictures of when they sprouted and what they look like today and then I'll probably jus load pics of the whole room in the updates. One of the sprouts had helmet head for two days but tryna catch up. April 26

And today may 2nd

Off and running and in good shape. One pic looks like you have the pots in a "House of Mirrors". Much luck the rest of the way and happy harvest.

a little detail log. Day 3 of feeding 700-750 ppm. Switched to distilled water with 2 ppm. Today is the first day i checked reservoir of hempy cause i have a feeling roots will be there soon.
Run off is 510 ppm (lower than anything ive put in) and the p.h is 6.45 (nutrient solution ph'd to 5.82 for fertigation) lower ppm higher ph should mean the plants are eating appropriately.
Very campact nodes. 8 days old today, all but the helmet head are on 3rd node ( 5 fingered leaves starting).

2 weeks old from breaking ground.

What's up. It's been two weeks since the 5 tangerine dream autos poked their head. Not much has changed and so much is different lol. They seem to be growing good. I've been feeding 750 ppm of calmag and gh floranova grow. Will be using grow for the next two weeks and then transition into bloom. Theyve seemed to be having a little ph problems. My guess is that the coco needs a good flush with a large amount of nutrient water to combat the build up from the light waterings when they were smaller. Ppm coming out is around 500 but ph of reservoir was 7.4.! Everyone says don't stress off runoff ph but fuck that. I'll see if a 700 ppm ph 5.7 flush will get it back in range. I plan on starting lst maybe next week. They show mild signs of heat stress. That i have to deal with until I'm able to get an ac. Solo pics are light off. Group pic light on 5/10.
