New Grower Finally after 5 year of waiting, decided it's time for a new Grow.

I sow into final pot. Like to keep temps in low to mid 80s. I keep my RH up and lights on 24hrs first few days.
This year I have been making an indentation in the center of my bag with a cup, 3" deep or so. I fill it with seed starter mix. 100% germination. Higher temps are key I feel like.
 
Hi @Bob's Auto's got a question or 2 for you mate , if you don't mind.
On the Biotabs Autoflower video it says to start giving the Bio PK on day 35, I'm on day 40 now, should I start using the Bio PK and at what dose please?
Also how regularly should I use the Bio PK do you think?

I'll get a picture or 2 up later of the girl in question.
She has been growing very well with just using the 'water only' method, not used the Orgatrex, as she never seemed to need any, as she's plenty green and had the odd burnt tip.
 
Got another question, when watering with the Bactrex or Bio PK do I add it per litre of water?
My plant takes 3 litres to be fully watered, do I only water with added Bactrex and Bio PK to 1 litre of water or do I water with the full 3 litres.
I hope you can see what I mean :biggrin:

Yeah, I know what you mean. If you need 1L to water the plant, just make a batch of 1L

Well there's two way's to go that route, but you were picking my mind, so...I like to add the Bio PK to every watering, but start it on the low end. Use 1ml/L water and see how they respond. You can build up to that, but never go higher then 3ml/L water, even if it seems they can take more.
To be honest I do prefer the PK Booster Compost tea, but that's just because I can brew it and therefor there's more bennies in it then when you use the Bio PK solo. It's in the last three to four weeks that I add the Bio PK to the brewing process, add two to three times the amount of Orgatrex and let it brew for a week. When you see foam you know it's working, oh that and the smell :gassy:

Thanks Bob :toke:
 
Various ages, 3 strains.
Well folks, here it is.
I finally managed to find my thread and add some pictures and also ask for a bit of help. :bighug:
Here is my grow

Colours on my phone seem a bit off still, will try to get it sorted.
All the girls seem ok up to this point except 1 maybe.
Anyway. Let me introduce the girls. Oldest first.
First up, Mephisto Ravenberry, day 44

I don't know if you can see the burnt tip ends on the leaves nearest the buds and slight red tinge to them?
Is it overfed. There was a couple before I started with the Bio PK, but there seems to be more now.
@Bob's Auto's, do you think I should either stop using the Bio PK or reduce the dose.
She has been given 1 ml per litre over last 2 waterings.
She has never seemed hungry and always had the odd leaf burnt tip and darker green leaves.
What do you think?
Apart from this, she looks great, keep having to take leaves off her, she was just so bushy.
Onto girl number 2
Seedstockers Northern Lights, day 26

Growing great, though she was leaning for quite a while. Tried to straighten her up.
Removed about 4 or 5 leaves off her yestereday. Looked great today.
Will try and keep on top of her, as she seems a leafy girl too.
Plant 3, a freebie from Mephisto
A CDLC x Forum Stomper bx Forum Stomper, or Creme Stomper. :headbang:
Day 23
Creme Stomper.jpg

Growing, but still small, she's in a smaller 5 litre pot, the others are in 10 litre.
I think they are all a bit small due to the lower temperatures, around 23c tops to 19c lights on, 17c - 14c (eek) lights off.
That Biotabs stuff, up to now is fantastic.
Hoping for a lovely potent harvest. :bow:
 
@Bob's Auto's, do you think I should either stop using the Bio PK or reduce the dose.
I would stop entirely with any feed. Let the pots have a dry spell, not bone-dry...you know what I mean right?
Then run 4L dechlorinated water with a heaped teaspoon Bactrex, 2 teaspoons Mycotrex and 20ml Orgatrex mixed really well, through that pot. Do it slowly. Use an airhose to transfer the mix, that's about the flow you want to achieve. Don't use the sediment that's left over.
I think your soil is already overfull with nutrients. Your lady is showing us that there's just to much for her to cope with.

If I'm correct, the pot size is 10L, right? If you use 4L, you should have some runoff. If you give the mix the time to run slowly through that soil, it will uptake some of those nutrients and run down eventually being expelled through the bottom. Less is more :d5:
