Hello Everyone,
This is my first grow and grow journal so hopefully you'll be understanding if im not some elite grower immediately but after a couple months of research and reading particularly of the capn style method I decided to pull the trigger and give it a shot. I understand my method may not be exactly capn style. I'm trying to stay as close as I can though.
What strain is it? Blue Dream and Crimea Blue
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Veg
If in Veg... For how long? I've had the blue dream for a week today and have had the crimea blue for 3 days. I received them both very rooted and in 2 inch rockwool cubes that I transplanted into a 6inch netpot of rockwool mini cubes. The 6inch netpot sits currently inside a 1 gallon nursery pot until I feel its time to go bigger. My focus like the capn method is for them to have a daily wet and dry cycle and be significantly lighter and need water every morning. I was told the blue dream had received 2 weeks of 24/7 light and i didnt get a estimate on the blue crimea but having much less growth i assume 1 week of light for it. Its one of the surprisingly hard things I noticed when you get clones, you get bs answers as to how old they are and I am not educated enough to tell completely myself.
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor, in a 4x4x7 Apollo Tent.
Soil or Hydro? Soil-less rockwool minicubes
If soil... what is in your mix? 100% rockwool minicubes
If soil... What size pot? 6inch netpot sitting in a 1 gallon nursery pot.
Size of light? 4 light T5 6500k.
Temp of Room/cab? Can be seen in the pics I will post but 77 degrees and I try to come as close to 50% humidity as possible. I try to stay at 50 or under for powdery mildew fear lol.
PH of media or res? 5.8, currently being hand watered.
Any Pests ? No
How often are you watering? Daily but checking a couple times a dry for dryness of the rockwool.
Type and strength of ferts used? I'm using the GH three part that capn recommends.
So starting off i'll give you the brief history of how my first week has been. Its funny how you read so much material and obsess over the details and still make the mistakes of things you remember reading lol. I also found some things to be true that I didnt read or see posted commonly. I started off with just the blue dream and I fed it the full capn line of GH products. I did 400 ppm of a 3-2-1 G-M-B. I added all of the additives first as well mixing properly individually, etc including PH after. Additives included the calmag, silica, florablend, and floralicious. PH was at 5.8 and i fed it for two days with this. Maybe it was too much i'm not sure but first lesson learned I on day three waking up. What in the hell, why do all my leaves look droopy and have the claw really bad. Well appears it was nitrogen toxicity. I fed for a day with only RO water (which is what i've used for the start) and after I switched to a 300-400ppm of 1-1-1 GMB per gallon with 4ml of calmag and a couple drops of silica to fine tune the ph up to 5.8. This has been working well and i'm going to attach progress pics of what i've seen progress ways from the last fews days of that. I'm curious when I should switch to the 3-2-1 and when I should top the blue dream as well which is the plant on the left.
Hopefully it is a productive grow, fingers crossed.
