The Growing Room

Heres the Bluni to the side, with the others waiting for more hot light!!

Things often get worse before they get better. As I sadly expected, noticing the mites meant they had already got erry-where. In the morning, 3 more babes had red beasts on them. I put together a sick bay off to the side of the room and seperated all the girls. I only got back in the room late evening to find almost all the others with mites.

To combat: mixed ludwigs with some very luke warm water and chopped an old t-shirt to make small finger size clothes. Put the ladies in the sick bay. I then proceeded to wipe down the ladies leaves, top & bottom and sprayed a light ludwigs solution onto their topsoil. From there I put a fan over them to dry, before placing them back under the LED's for the night.

This morning all the ladies are looking well. I think I may have burnt some of the leaves aith the solution?? Is this possible. Perhaps the leaves were not dry enough before going back under lights. The tops of the affected leaves have a browning with almost black-ish edges. Looks like it got too close to a flame kind of.

Ladies all got water again today. Ive been told our local tap water is way up 7-10 on the ph scale so ive been collecting natural spring water and have started with this. Think i will start fertigating from mon/tues. Help and tips please. Hope everybody is blazing their way through this lockdown, if it is affecting you. And happy happy growing homies

cool grow space, I just started mine, but had to build a room in my basement. I probably went overboard on wall wattage lighting. Sitting at over 1000 true watts in a 4x4.

Yesterday was a good day. Brought in 6 clones (wedding cake, black sugar,critical mass cheese, gorilla glue, blunicorn, slurricane) and hung two small fans in the room. All the leaves are dancing.

Must be nice to get clones delivered lol

Truly was. Tricky that they are all different strains. Just means Ive got to learn six times faster than 1 and I am up for it. I may need all the help I can get though.

 

[Pennywise]

It can get crazy for real. Lol

Wow. So much has been going on. No mite spottings. Have got a hygrometer (25 degrees celcius and between 65 and 75 percent humidty) Ive repotted 5 of my 2nd gen seeds that I have from a succesful out doorcrop. And started feeding with nutrients. Also sprayed all the clones again whilst i repotted the seedlings.....


....also also also, just got a ph testing kit. Exactly as I had been advised our local tap water is way up on the scale, tests close to 8. Luckily other local spring water tests at just about 5.0 - 5.5 and is very similar with the nutrients in.

I have fed the clones biobizz biogrow with their water this morning. 0.75ml /litre. They each got about 300 mls.

The seedlings: I have numbered the cups and put different mediums or mixes thereof. They are all being fed GHE flora-coco & flora-bloom as per the directed GHE guidelines.

Before I left the ladies they all looked happy, except for the blunicorn. She had a large leaf that has curled in and yellowed. Looks like its dying. Needless to say. I am going to go diagnosing right now. Happy smo-Kings

Not a joke evens. I feel not just like I have six babies, but that I have six babies and six different baby mommas, at the same time. If that makes sense. Whole different worlds. Trying to create a uniform process for all of them at once, to me seems too silly to even attempt. Each girl needs a name, cos she is gonna have her own game going on.

 

[Pennywise]

I used to name mine but gave it up.

Hopefully one day I will have had enough grows to make that call. Or hope to have too many girls, making it impossible.

 

[Pennywise]

I just got too busy and started giving them numbers. Easier for me to track

 

[Mickey Pearson]

Topped the Wedding Cake clone and have attempted to clone the top. Mites seem gone. Ladies are happy and growing fast. Couple of nuteition needs i can see through leaf colour... working on it.

 

[Pennywise]

I’d continue treating for mites, make sure there gone.

Thank you, I am for sure. Sprayed again yesterday woth ludwigs. Day before I used some diatomaceous earth on the soil. The war wages on

 

[Pennywise]

They doing ok?

 

[Mickey Pearson]

Clone is still alive. All the ladies seem happy. I want to pot them up, in a few days, and maybe a week after flip the lights to 12/12. Getting them more used to nutrients is also on the cards. Im getting some clawing. On a few leaves. Whats best for this? Otherwise, started a little low stress training. Will upload new photos in the morn

No Mites so far
