Itibitiguy First Grow

[Itibitiguy]

Hi friends !

This is my first grow!!! I finally got an opportunity to grow my own. So I started planning out a spot, and then a tent and light.
I ended up with a mars 2 700 and a 4x4x5 tent. So my spot is where it gets tricky, Of course I live in a more winter then summer climate. So I would have to come up with some insulation and heat (when it's lights out or very cold). Anyways had to go to a plan b but got it sorted out ( fingers crossed)

After I order my tent, I pick some CK Nycd auto feminized, ordered'em up. Once I got everything, I dropped four of them in a glass of water and got everything going. All four tapped out nicely so I gathered up something for pots (3 gallons) so for soil there wasn't much to pick from, so I got promix potting soil, I know it's not ideal but I'm hoping it will be good.

So this being my first grow I'd be looking for all the help I can get. I'll post some time line pics later

I've also got some questions about feeding my girls. When should I start feeding? And what I should start with N-P-K levels?

So it's when awhile since I had a chance to get on here. I've had some issues since and tried to fix. First my tent is in a cold room and insulated plus a small heater inside to keep things warm. I had some issues with the night cycle Temps being warmer then day cycle. But I switched to a 24/0 till my temp controller gets here (c'mon 28th) so Temps are okay now.

Another issue I got is fertilizer burn. I done a mix with 10-15-10 liquid plant food, I mixed to 1/8 the recommended strength and fed them all one day and then only 2 got another small fed. After this one started showing signs of fertility burn. Second part of the fertilizer problem I have is the soil I used. Promix premium potting soil, which has time release nuturants, that I've found out that I should have avoided.

Any help with the fertilizer problem is greatly appreciated

And some pics

Just ran some water through on of the girls and the run off ph is 5. I'm using my tap water and it is some where around 7.5 and I ph it to 6.5 - 7 with and very small amount of vinegar. I'm guessing I should ph up my water a half a notice and hope this helps the soil. I'm guessing this got me locked out of some nutrients.

Day 27

Got my temp controller . it works great. Glad I got it. Seems my thermometer wasn't correct ( off by a couple of degrees)
So now back on the 18/6 schedule and I also check my ph on my run off and it was back within range for nutrients. Looks like I'm getting some mag diff now, I'll be water later so I'll get some epson salt for the mag diff. Three of the girls are getting some lst, 2 getting more than the other and one isn't getting any so far.

Look like there taking off nice. Is that promix hp u got, or actual potting soil. If its the soil o think it has time released nutes in it.. Therefore u must be careful when feeding or u will cook them. Check the bag it should tell u whats in it...
Cheers

I will be subbed up for the rest of your grow brother. Hope you got the problems sorted out. I also have a 700w but only one. Hope you don't mind me tagging along

 

[Itibitiguy]

Hey Pat

Looks like the girls are sorted out . . .

I'll be watering tomorrow and checking the run off again. I'm totally paranoid of feeding them again, with the time release soil. So just water for now. I'll have some pics tomorrow. They starting to stretch now.

Sounds great brother. Yeah my plants get watered daily. My nute batch lasts the 2 days then I must make up again, LoL I am glad your plants got sorted out. My one suffered from Mag def and now it is the best looking one around

Got another fan (oscillating) and the girls are enjoying it.

Doing some more lst to try and keep them short as possible. Gave them some molasses last yesterday when I watered, and trimmed off some of the burned up fans.
