Hi guys!
So this is my first grow - I'm 3 weeks in so starting this journal a little late. I have one elsewhere but I'm after more auto-specific advice and this place seems awesome
The Set Up
Medium: Coco Coir 70%, Perlite 30%.
Pots: Plastic 5L (Next time I'd go 10L at least - pots were purchased before I realised the lady at the local hydro store gives terrible advice )
Seeds: MSNL 2x Big Bud, 1 x White Widow Max, 1 x AK47
Light: 600W - currently running MH but will switch to my HPS for flowering. Digital ballast.
Fan: Good ol' fashioned pedestal fan.
Nutes:
Nutrifield - Coco A&B, Rootbooster
Ozi Magic - MonstaBud
CalMag
The Road So Far
I had a wee tanty during the germination after I thought I killed the 3 seeds I started with, and while I did save them, I don't know which is which. I also started a backup Big Bud during said tantrum so now I have 4 plants. I named the definite BB Bruce Buffer. The others are Chip, Nancy, and Luna. I think Nancy is the other BB but no idea about the other two. Oh well!
They seemed to start quite slow and pale. This was around 9 days after germination.
So I've been steadily upping the nutes, and they've been responding really well. Yesterday I did a bit of a flush with just CalMag as Nancy was showing signs of grumpiness. Will go back to 1.5mL/L on the A&B later today and see how they do. Anyway, here's how they look atm
I'm going to set up a second tray today so I can spread them out a little more, is getting crowded!
This is Chip, the eldest. Day 23 from germinating. She has pistils!
Luna, Day 22
Bruce, Day 21
Nancy, Day 22.
She has me a little worried with the leaves curling up and whatnot. Any ideas?
I'm a total newb so happy for any advice! Unless it involves spending money as I'm tapped til next payday I am super keen to get a tent to make the environment easier to control, but it will have to wait til the next grow.
My water always goes in at 5.5 - 6.0pH, usually sits bang on 5.8. I use Pure Water (no chlorine or anything). My coco perlite was from a premix bag. It's bloody freezing here so I've been running a heater most of the time (not pointing at the plants), and I use a humidifier when needed to counteract the dry air from the heater. It's usually 26C in the room. I like to sit there cause it's so much warmer than the rest of the house lol.
