Trying to dial my watering down better and kind of feel I would learn more going analog and having to actually go look at and touch the soil. Or is my mindset wrong because I have never use a digital meter? I got ac infinity controllers should I just bite the bullet and get their meter or go eco Witt? Just trying to not rely on ai and digital to learn the science better.
Happy 2 week birthday. Mephesto autos in 20 gallon of build a soil. (Mixture between light and 3.0) Colorado worm company casing, craft blend, root wise and Kashi. Blumats are on but haven’t started dripping yet. Right pot is at 70 and left is still 52. Planted 2 weeks ago both were about 40. Foliar spray with Buildaveg yesterday. Left is Figgy Smalls and right is Chemdogging
Hiya growmies! I started this Bruce Banner from Barney's Farms from seed in a solo cup with Buildasoil's Heady Start mix 2 weeks ago. I went to water it today and noticed it looked this way. I know I messed up but I want to understand how I messed up.
So my most recent grow is my third try and first real success. I wanted to ride that wave and I am sure I over did things.
I spotted the burnt tips a few days ago and that was right after I gave her about 60 ml of water that had some clonex and alfalfa meal in it. I was medicated so I messed up and didn't check the BAS supplemental chart and I'm sure it was too early. The next time I watered it was just plain bubbled but not ph'd water. In my experience when I bubble my tap water it ends up around 7.8-8.1 ph. This was part of my initial "lesser successes" because I didn't understand living organic soil. I also thought I had it at 200 ppfd or so but I just checked again and I must've misread because photone is reading 300 or so.
I misspoke and said I "didn't" understand living organic soil like I now do lol I do not clearly but I'm learning.
So I know I fed nutes too early.
I know I had the lights too high.
Did I also mess up by not ph'ing the water? I suspect there aren't many microbes and things in the rhizosphere to fix the pH of the water. What do you guys water your youngins with?
What can I do to save her?
Thanks for any and all advice 😊
These are 12 days out the ground. Autos. They seem to be staying so low. I have the app and the diffuser. It says 250 and 16 DLI. Seems like it should be in line. Am I crazy or are they really short? Does it have to do with being in 20 gallons and the roots needing to “hit bottom” before it stretches up?
Brothers Grimm Dream Widow 5x5 using 4 earthboxes. Buildasoil 3.0 2nd run. 1st run yielded 1.25 lbs with this setup think I may get more this time!
