Reservoir is filled with .5 ML/L of PH perfect Coco Sensi grow A and B, put in D Block to help keep the Blumats running smooth. Blumats are setup. Seedlings transplanted. We are full speed now. Probably won't need to top off the Reservoir for a few weeks. Fingers crossed for no run away droppers!
I ordered 2 separate BlueLab meters. One for EC and one for PH. I plan to record my PH and EC values after I mix PH perfect and my Tap water. I also ordered sensorpush and will use that at canopy level.
I am hand watering my Airpots once daily to runoff. This will probably continue for several weeks. Using a hand powered water pump to suck up the runoff from the water tray. I am debating if I should stick with blumats or just handwater. I find handwatering pretty easy and Blumats run the risk of flooding my tent when I am away. With 9 liter pots, I doubt I will do more than 2 waterings a day, even in flower. But I have already decided on my next grow to use a water pump and hydro halos for timed waterings. The thought of a runaway Blumat is giving me nightmares.
Anyway it's been about 5 days since my seeds opened up. So the growth is nothing impressive because at day 2 or 3 I transplanted into coco which probably shocked them and slowed down growth for several days. Temperature is staying around 24 to 25 Celsius. I am happy with that. Humidity is a bit low at 40%, but I don't want to run a humidifier.
So we have DAY 0 and DAY 3, germinates in jiffy with one drop (each) of "Take Root"(Dutchpro), nothing to report here, tomorrow I think they will go in the little pots and as soon as I can see roots, to the final 16L fabric pot, I will post pics of the little pot that I made.
I got sensorpush running and I'm pretty happy with my temperature and humidity.
Ordered some cal-mag from Advanced Nutrients. Looks like one of my plants has some early stage cal-mag problems. I am kind of surprised to have problems already, using Canna Coco professional plus. Anyway, today is day 7 so I increased nutrients to 1ml/l of grow part A and B. My light is running 19 hours per day. I am really hoping the plants are doing lots of root work, because they aren't growing as much as I would like to see.
Humidity 50 to 55%
Temperature lights on 77 to 80F
Temperature lights off around 72F
19 hours lights on
1 ml/l grow A and B
Water with 10 to 20% runoff, everyday
No stretch. Super happy with the light.
Day 11. Had some leaf burn. The Bluelab gear finally came today and I found out I have been watering with over 1 EC. CAL-MAG came today as well.
I reduced Grow A and B back to .5ml/l. That brought me to 0.6 EC. Then mixed in CAL-MAG. Brought me up to 1.3 EC. I guess I used too much CAL-MAG.
Tomorrow will be Grow A and B and CAL-MAG with a max EC of 0.8
My PH meter is hydrating as the instructions said. I will clean and calibrate in the morning.
