What season is it there? Just outta curiosity. I see your temps are exactly where our mid-summer will be
. . . . . . . . . .

We only have two and right now it’s the Dry Season :- )

I dont know why I didnt catch it earlier, but your humidity is high. Can you get it down to around 50. I hit 40s because scared of mildew and mold.
It will br eaiser to figure out problems when theyre breathing properly.
Its our dry season now haha cant access water from ice and snow, indoor humidity dips to 20

Got some numbers, coir hold 80% its volume in water, peat moss 68%. Organic matter hold water well too. How much perlite? Can still water by the weight change of your soil

Yep - it’s the Thai challenge - high temps and insane humidity! Nothing I can do about it. My first two attempts have been really all about what strains work over here and what don’t. It has to be autos, as for 9 months of the year we have 12½/11½ daylight. Autos seem to go a bit silly (depending on ther their genetics) and I’ve had one Dieselmatic that went tall and skinny on me and all 3 Friesian Ducks (just cos they’re pretty) came out without webfoot leaves.

The big problem is Botrytis. I’m wise to it now and snip buds as soon as they show the first sign . . . it’s always the big dense colas. But It sometimes seems to work if I carefully prise open the top buds to let the air in. The smaller popcorn buds don’t seem to get it.

Chuckle back at ya - likewise ‘dry’, other than the temp and humidity! : - )
(My local bar - it’s the low season and right now I’m sometimes the only customer!)

Yes - I usually do it by weight - if it’s easy to lift it gets water (and nutes every other time.)

8 OR 9 DAYS LATER . . .
I’m still puzzled, as these two seedlings were germinated one week after the main batch, as the first seeds had a couple that didn’t take. (All of them autos . … . )

Some great advice from the posters here meant that in week 3 they were fed AN Micro/Grow/Bloom at half strength at 20 days. One week later all the paleness had gone . . . but they’re still little and stunted.

The main batch - the first planted - are all doing fine and are now in pre bloom at 35 days

I’m not complaining, as I’m now gonna get something out of them, and they may well liven up in a week or so with regular feeding.

But I’m still wondering why there’s been such a difference between the two batches, Maybe the Moon went out of conjunction with Saturn for the second lot . . . :grin:
