New Grower Hypathetical Gardener - The Perpetual cmh/led log

[jingo]

Should make a big difference going down from 3 gallon bags to 5 gallon bags. I haven't reused soil before, when I reuse Coco it always seems to retain more water than when it's new.

 

[Hypathetical Gardener]

I noticed that the soil itself feels heavier this round than last. Perhaps its the coco breaking down getting more dense..
Or the perlite i failed to reamend. Either way... I went from 5g to 3g. Its why i was initially watering every 2 days instead of 3/4. Im also going to be estimating a bit by weight of container. Practicing getting the feel for each plant and going from there based on need as opposed to a strict schedule... Since im wanting to do a perpetual grow with organics, different strains, etc... strict watering schedules are out the window. Im also seeing a difference in needs between strains. The phosphorus def red stems are showing in my og WAY more than ak47. They have been getting the same nutes,same amounts, at the same time since being planted.

Think on it:
Would civilization get better or worse if humans focused on what was going well rather than what’s going wrong?

When i was in soil this is what i did, i felt all my plants at bone dry, remebered that weight and then watered like right before they got there[emoji106] Watering in soil was the the hardest part for me early on[emoji850] Yeah they will start drinking like crazy man! Ever since I bought a real ph pen my plants have been drinking over a couple gallons a day!

1. Thanks, i was wondering if i shoulda tagged you.
2. Ph pen for organics?
3. Thanks, guess ill just keep my bubbler going continuously for my water. Normally i let it rest half a day before kicking it back on.

Lol you can tag me if you ever want! You will want one if you do liquids/salts or dwc, unless they are ph perfect with DS water/RO that ph perfect shit says fuck you to my water[emoji24]

 

[Hypathetical Gardener]

I plan eventually to do the nftg dwc thing. But ill keep it simple for now. At least until im outta my current organic boxes. Maybe a few more plants and ill switch. Or run parallel.

good luck n keep er lit.

 

[KREATURE]

Topdress day. The girls all got their topdressing. Everyone seemed happy.
Domina is stretching but is basically at the same stage as ak. My concern is her size. Shes a lil small and i still need at least an ounce from her. We will see what she does. Shes supposed to be a long runner. I may have slowed ger down last jight as one of the lst strings got a lil tight for her and broke one of the branch tops (o promptly cut and planted it. Hopefully itll pop roots. If not, oh well.
Ak is bushy as ever. Og is coming along. Both are still showing me some red stems. (Does phosphorus def red stems go away when its better?)
I used a banana peel, some dirt from ak, some bio righteous, and seabird guano to make a small .5liter batch of tea. I watered it down half way and gave to the 3 older plants. The baby hashplant didnt need it yet. But whats some extra potassium and phosphate gunna hurt?
