New Grower Beginner grow - DP Think Different

Day 15. Looks like the 15cm increase in light distance has helped, I can definitely see upwards growth, she is no longer trying to escape. I will stick to the 60cm distance for now. I was planning on putting the light to full power this week, but I think it's not necessary yet - or perhaps at all...we'll see.

The soil 2cm down wasn't fully dry, but I ended up giving her 100ml water anyhow. I most likely won't have to water tomorrow.

I use an air dome direct on the bottom mat inside the autopot and put in 2l of perlite and then the 60/40 mix never had an issue also I use the canna range which includes cannazym and I also use humate . I'll post a picture of my led's when I get off this nightshift. Try and get my td in but there coming to the end with the leaves looking shitty

Ah yes, the airdomes.... I was looking at those, but at the time I was unable to find a pump with only two outlets (at least directly from the airpot vendor). I know nothing about airpumps, so I didn't (and still don't) know if I buy a pump with four outlets (only this was available), is there any way to close the two unused outlets? Otherwise it would just pump into air...and that is just silly.

But that's good point to use them, and thanks for the tip with the 2L perlite on the bottom. I was thinking about the spring / summer approaching, when it would make good sense to ressurect the autopots while I'm getting some much needed fresh air and sunshine ...so if / when I do, I will use your recipe

Lol its a 2x3m tent (6.6×9.9) so every 1x1m of grow space is covered by a 1600w led

Fair play there looking perfect mate. I'm still learning with my led's

With the spare outputs on the air pump 4 way valve you place a small length of 4 mm pipe on 2 of them that are not in use and tie knot in it. Air will not escape then and will flow to the air domes you have in use. My pump is a 60l one so split over 20 pots they all get 3l each.

Subbed up. Everything is looking spot on. Nice and green with good growth. Keep it up!!!!

Day 16. Nothing exciting to report. She did drink all the water from yesterday, so although I wasn't planning on it I gave 100ml for her to drink. Had to move the light up 1cm, I guess she grew! I think I will let her be for now, and will do another update on the weekend (unless I see a major change).

Oh I see, so it's just a matter of blocking the outlets - the pump will just not work as hard, but it won't break either due to the "clogging" of the empty outlets. Awesome, good to know, thanks very much!

Yes, will do, thank you! :smoking:

Day 17.

She is definitely drinking the 100ml daily now, so I've upped the drink for the lady to 125ml. Also, as a test, I've decided to turn the light from Eco to full mode for a few days. The distance is still around 60-63cm, so the next few days I will closely monitor if the light is too much, and if she is trying to escape it again. If so, I'll have to revert, or increase the distance. We'll see.
