First Grow Attempt - Coerdringer's Soil Auto AK-47 Feminized Grow Journal - 2017

[Coerdringer]

Well, the temp right now is 30.5 Celsius, so technically it shouldn't be too hot. I also put my hand above the plant and it didn't feel hot, so I'm guessing that might be the deficiency. Eh, I'm afraid it's time for me to finally buy the nutrients, so I will probbably buy both the ph checker and the nutrients.
But what is the lock out?

And in that case, what would you guys recommend me? What exactly should I be looking for?

 

[Pennywise]

If your ph is too high or too low it will prevent the plant from taking up key nutrients.

 

[Coerdringer]

Alright. Then again - what exactly should I be looking for in the shop, to change the ph of the soil? I mean... Should that be something specific, when growing cannabis? Or can I use anything that adjust that?

 

[187budz]

Any decent ph pen with ph up and down will do

 

[187budz]

But then again im no expert lol ive never even held a ph pen.. i spent the extra and got ph perfect nutes cause im a lazy bastard

 

[Pennywise]

A product called Ph up and Ph down is what most use, a digital ph pen will save you a lot of headaches down the road.

 

[Coerdringer]

Alright, I found the Ph up Ph Down. Now I need to buy the Ph checkers. I think at the beginning I'll stay with the litmus paper, cause the pen is quite expensive, and I can buy a package of 100 of them, for around 1 dollar, so I'm gonna stick with that. I'll invest in the pen in future.
Since it's Sunday, I'll buy it tomorrow, and then I will keep you posted.

 

[Pennywise]

You can look on ebay or amazon for cheap digital ph pens also

 

[187budz]

And an app called "wish" but they can take a while to deliver but the cheapest shit ive ever seen

 

[187budz]

 

[Coerdringer]

Oh, yeah, found it. Jesus what a prices. How does that even work? Some of the things are free, you just need to pay for the shipping. And some of them are like 80% off, some pricey things. Where does their income come from?

And I just noticed, 4:20 intended? Or was it just really amazingly accidental?

 

[Pennywise]

No such thing as coincident so take it as an omen.

 

[187budz]

Honeatly wasnt intended lol

 

[187budz]

Great prices but like i said some times they take a while to deliver... but on the plus side i have gotten a few things for free cause they took too long, refunded my money then it arrived lol. My advice with that app is read very carefully. Sometimes it will show you a picture of 2 things and u assume they come together but its just one lol

If your ph is too high or too low it will prevent the plant from taking up key nutrients.

And just to add too this. Too much of certain nutes can cause others to be locked out too.. .

 

[Coerdringer]

Alright, so I need to be carefull of what I'm adding, and to control the Ph. Basically, it's better to give less, so I won't accidentally kill it.

 

[Flubbedgrower]

Rather get a cheap PH pen then those paper testers. You possibly going to have to get a 7.0 PH buffer to calibrate you PH pen. All these big words. Lol. It's easy bro. Don't stress.
But you said you growing in soil? If I were you I'd feed my soil and grow organic.
Just a thought. Hehe

 

[Coerdringer]

Hmm, but isn't organic growing connected with growing outdoors?

 

[Flubbedgrower]

If you buy bottles nutes you should be sweet. Don't worry. Start at a 1/4 strength nutes.

 

[Flubbedgrower]

Hmm, but isn't organic growing connected with growing outdoors?

Nope. You can grow organic indoor. Indoor you are just playing god. Controlling the light temp humidity wind etc etc. It can be any medium you want. I'm growing organic indoor at the moment
