Thanks for the kind words and encouragement everyone
@Gunny14 Everything changed for the better when I was able to measure pH and PPMs. Before that I was feeding them blind and they were under fed for fear of burning them. I got a pH meter and a truncheon stick to measure pH and PPMs.
@pop22 suggested I measure the pH to 6.2 and keep it there, and keep the PPMs between 700-800, which I have followed to the letter. I live in a somewhat subtropical climate so humidity is an issue, but the weather here is generally insane. It can be hot and humid one day, then cold for two days, back to hot the next, then rain for three days straight ...
Its really really hard to maintain a constant environment. This is probably one of the biggest tips I have found whilst researching how to grow good medicine. Maintaining the right environment is really important and fluctuations can be the difference. Medium used is coco with perlite, I bought mine pre-mixed but added more perlite to it, probably about a 70/30 coco/perlite mix. Feeding times are as soon as the lights turn on. I start mixing the nutrients and feed them by hand until there is runoff. There is a grower here
@archie gemmill who's posts I've followed. He doesn't bother the plants and lets them do their own thing, so I've tried to copy this by feeding them at lights on and leaving them alone for 18 hours lights on, 6 hours lights off and they don't see me again until lights on.
This is my dream ...
