I have to agree man coco is great, like you said its so hard to overwater as long as you have drainage so recovering from screw ups like mine is as simple as ever.
New Grower First Grow Ever! (Found seeds) Candy Kush & Trans Siberia Auto
- Thread starter Trubble
- Start date
[UPDATE] DAY 11 - DAY 12
I decided now to start feeding them some nutrients, I read that I should be keeping the EC below 1.0 and ideally should start at 700(ish), so I mixed a 1/8 tsp of micro and grow & 1/16 tsp of bloom into my cal/mag, seasol & 6L water mix. I checked the Ph which read 8, the EC was 1.1 & the PPM was 700 or there abouts.
Because the Ph and EC was too high I boiled 1.5L water & poured it into the mix once slightly cooled, this also brought the water to room temp which is good. I then added about 1/16tsp or less of Ph down to bring the Ph down to 5.0, I figured this was OK giving the soil Ph I tested earlier was reading 6.5/7 im sure the Ph will balance back to 5.5 or around there? Correct me if im wrong. Also the EC is now sitting at 0.8/9.
These photos were taken about 2am on the morning of day 11
The bite looking mark in the leaf happened when I saw a black flying bug on the leaf, freaking out as a new grower I tried to pull it off and as I did I took some leaf with me. In the end that was the only black bug ive seen, other than that ive seen a couple coco coir mites (little white harmless but sometimes annoying soil bugs that seem to only like coco)

Bro, are you sharking us? You talk and move around subject lines like a professional. I absolutely ABSORBED any kind of info for 4 months solid before dropping seed and still have a myriad of questions... but you? You have it dialed in. Like you've done this before... First grow ever! hmmmmm.

Brother I give you my word this is my first grow, I tend be a bit obsessive when I find something I like doing, which is apart of my so called "ADD" and I dont work so I have literally spent hours on hours researching while also putting things into action and learning along the way.
I started reading about 4 weeks ago when I found seeds in my bag, the seeds did not germinate so I stopped reading. A week later I found these seeds (I stumbled upon them in a krispy kreme box in the carpark at a train station near me).
I have no reason to lie for reputation, it took me some guts to even post this journey as im a tad paranoid of being caught, the only reason I did is because im so excited to learn and share ny newly found hobby
Fair enough.. when im learning something new, im all in as well. You just seem quiet knowledgeable about key issues with them having to be pointed out. Looks like you've done well with your studies. Nice job!

- are you special?

Thanks dude! I'm very happy with how it is going so far. Will post another update tomorrowlooking good
Another update: DAY 38
Plants are really starting to show their size now. The little one I believe is stunted due to FIMing and hard LST but it is quite bushy none the less.
I now have 2 400w HPS lights running since day 24 or so & I have hung these vertically and placed a car sun visor above the lights to give some reflection. I dont know how much this is actually helping or not but the plants seem to be doing quite well regardless.
I am now feeding them @ about 1.3 EC, mixing 1/3 tsp micro, 1/2 tsp grow, 1/3 tsp bloom per 6L, 5ml ROCK Resinator per 6L, 5ml Cal/Mag per 6L & about 2ml Seasol.
I am flushing with plain PHed water once every 2 weeks or so to remove buildup or if I start seeing nutrient burn or nutrient toxicities. Once flushed I will start with just cal/mag, seasol & water for the first feed then introduce the new doses of nutrients in the following feed.
As for run off, I am usually watering til about 20 - 30% but some times when the medium and plants are dry because of heat I will feed them with 500ml or so with no runoff.

Im beginning to really not know which strain is which, im sure the darker one is candy kush but I really dont know.
What do you guys think?
One is Candy Kush and other two are Trans Siberian or vise versa?
