Taking notes for my Walter white, my chemdawg is my first true practice plant!!
Transplant from seedling bag to 5gal bag by 4 weeks..
I cut back on the cal mag, sensi grow is doing all the work for me. LESS is more!!
My nutrients are Sensi Grow A/B at 3ml/gallon EC @ 900~ Tap Water EC at 360

My BT exploded with growth, so I'm letting her have some sun on the weekends!!

looking great happy n healthy good structure and neat looking pots

Nice! I am guessing those pots come undone so you can repot? That is pretty awesome if so.

It's pretty dope! Its Honor Grow bags and that's exactly what it's for. I kept it in the seedling bag for 4 weeks and the transplant was super easy into the 5 gallon. I feel like a 3 gallon would have been better since the structure is so compact!

EC @ 900~ Tap Water EC at 360

Ja, did you mean 0.9 nute Ec & 0.36 tap water Ec ?? = total Ec1.26 ? @what Ph ja ??........ as an Ec of 900 would kill em !!................ there are different Ec scales, you got "Hanna", which most use, and truncheon, if you are using the bluelab truncheon etc....... google Ec to PPM conversion chart, you can see the difference there ja ok................. use nitric acid Ph down (Tap water) in veg, and phosphorus PO4 Ph down in flower ok.....

I start my hanna Ec measure for seedlings at 0.3 (Nute Only Ec)................ in final flower i never exceed 0.95 (Nute Only)................ if you see the leaf tip, the first 3mm, start to go yellow, that means you are coming on a bit strong with the nute Ec............... back it back a bit, if you do see this. As to continue will lead to nute burn etc...........

now you have a Ph pen, you can check the health of your soil, around end of veg 5wks, get a 200ml run off from water coming out of the bottom of pot (Run Off)............... take Ph, you want to be between 6.3 and 6.8 at all times ok................ if your Ph drops below Ph 5.8................ the leaves (The Whole Leaf) will yellow with phos deff... google Ph to nutrient uptake chart............ you dont need to feed cal/mag untill the flowering begins, but as you are using (Alkaline Tap Water) you probly do not need to use calcium additive at all !!

Your plant is showing "Stretch" that is, not enough light power on it ok...............if you are using HPS lower it down to a height where when the top of your hand is at plant top, the heat from lamp can just be felt, (26c).......... get an infra red thermometer and check temperature at the plant canopy with that, much easier. it is very handy for checking water temperature is within 2c of the "SOIL TEMPERATURE", use hot kettle to adjust feed before giving etc.....

The infra red hand held temp gauge is also very important to take the soil temperature, soil temp is the most important thing, where nutrient uptake is concerned, as below 19c soil or above 27c nutrient assimilation is deffered !!................. hope that is of some help, ALR

@AutoLowRyder

Hey mahalo brotha for the tips!! I'm currently using AutoCobs with a coco/perlite mix!!

I noticed since I left out the cal/mag, they didn't change one bit! It definitely must be my tap water, the EC is around 300~ with a ph in the 7's.

Now my nutes are at 900~ EC for the big girls, but my seedling got fed the same at just a small nute burn showed up. So I dialed it down and made it it's own water lol.

Oh btw since I am growing in coco, i gotta use a 5.5-5.9 PH for optimal nutrient intake.

But I'm still trying to learn how to actually water my plants. Do i flood it or drip it or slow water? Idk lol
