Thank you guys! I appreciate the info and I will try cutting the light off and turn on the room light for pics and see what I get. So over the past 13-14 days I’m have been watering with spray bottle and just getting the soil moistened prob about 8-10 squirts (gentle squirts). Should I move to pouring it in soon or should I wait on that?
Lol nah im good. Whenever I first started my buddy told me to cut the cotyledons off. I laughed at him but that may be one of those things. Im not trying it though!!
Lol he just got done growing an Ak47. She was like 4ft tall and he pulled like 20 grams off of her. He is the army buddy with brain cancer I just gave all my extra grow stuff to. He is a very close minded person and doesn’t take direction well. So I wasn’t gonna tell him his plants looked weak lol he woulda got mad at me
So when you guys say water to runoff…what exactly does that mean? I have ph up and down from atlas science, and I don’t quite understand all that stuff. I’ve been testing the ph of my water and it’s like 7.3-9 to 6.9. Do I need to order the fox farm trio big bloom…etc? I have another light coming on this week. I will be up to about 175 true watts in my tent then. I couldn’t afford to go the diy kit yet, and I want to have a better understanding of my process before I can convince my wife the money is worth it. Lol…
Refresh my memory what kind of soil are you in again? That would tell us what you need the pH the water to. and how old are the girls that you’re going to water? Sorry it’s early for me in the coffee hasn’t kicked in LOL
I’m using fox farm ocean floor and the ladies are about 2 weeks old. I know my light is very inefficient but I just want to make sure that’s what it is and not me missing something else
You want your pH to stay within 6.3 to 6.8 for that soil. If they’re only a couple weeks old I’m not sure if I would water to run off quite yet. I would just water very sparingly in a circle around the plant. You do not want to get the stem too wet at this point
@Missiles has you set. You don’t need to water to runoff right now. When your plant is bigger, that just means provide enough water that you get a decent amount to come out of the bottom of pot. Also in fix farms soil, I would set your ph at 6.5 and monitor what it comes out at before adjusting it from there
