Opps...the girl on the bottom is not a happy girl.Hello guys,
Been 36 days now. Humidity was at 50% this morning and temperature at 27 C. I used the moisture meter on the plants and it was showing me that they are still moist. This means it wasn’t broken when I used it earlier and I had just been severely under watering them. Measured the tallest plant and it is at 8 inches now. Noticing growth on all but one.
Most are looking great. That top pick looks like a mag lockout. I have the link to the problem thread in my sig or you can google it to compare. I had a few lockout on me this year. Some never recovered but that growing for ya..lol.Hi everyone,
Been 45 days now. Finally gave them a watering after 11 days. Majority of pots were showing dry on moisture meter and were light to carry. Gave them two gallons of water split between 5 plants. I also added 100% of recommended nutrient dosage.
For each gallon of water I added following:
5 ml Micro
1.25 ml Gro
5 ml Bloom
The first gallon of water the PH was 6.51 and PPM was at 573. Adding this much nutrients in raised my PH significantly. The second gallon of water the PH was 6.68 and PPM was 782. I added a bit too much PH down and had to adjust it, that’s why PPM increased. Lets see how they respond.
I think you might be right. Wish there was to test and find out 100%. Will do some research.
Some are looking good. The others not so much. If you don't have a ph meter there's no need to flush. You have way to adjust. Happy frog is supposed to be buffered but I've read some places where folks were having if issues with out of range pH. If you get a ph pen research how to do a soil slurry test and see where you at. I'm guessing you be surprised at where they are. A tds meter is a handy tool to have too. Something to put on your Xmas list. Hang in there bro it gets easier as you go along and learn some basics.Hey guys,
Been 47 days and two days since last watering and feeding. Unfortunately it looks like a third plant is getting sick. The issue might’ve not been light burn all along. I have two that are thriving , two sick ones and the youngest plant is looking really sick. I don’t think they liked the feeding I gave them. Now should I flush the three plants that are sick and leave the two that are thriving alone? Let me know what you guys recommended. Definitely not using Happy Frog soil by itself next time. It looks like leafs are thinning out on one of the sick plants. Wonder if humidifier not reaching it.
Hey
Some of the leaves on the healthier ones look very plump which is a sign of over watering. Due to the early issues they probably don't have a strong root system and are in big pots.
. I’ll buy other nutrients and see if that helps the plants. Definitely starting a new batch tho
Frustrating. Didn't you say the nutes you had were for hydro? Also they had a pretty rough start and if the roots weren't strong to begin with the problems can just get worse and you're fighting a losing battle. You've learnt from this attempt so don't be afraid to use what you've learnt and start some more. I feel your pain though bro. My grow isn't really going to plan right now either.Hi guys,
Sick plants are not doing well. Full stem with leaf fell off one of the sick plants. I gave them their biggest watering ever this morning. 1 gallon of water for each pot. I added Cal-Mag for first time ever, 5 ml, then added 1.25 ml micro, 1.25 ml Gro and 1.25 ml Bloom for each gallon. The sick plants are getting super dry. The healthiest plant is showing burn signs on newest buds. I managed the collect some run off water and found the PH at 6.01. I need to search into what this means. The water I gave them had Ph 6.61. Will be ordering two other PH meters just incase mine is not functioning properly and will calibrate it tomorrow. I would like to figure out where I’m going wrong before starting new grow.
My initial research was correct. They are designed for Hydro, but work just fine for soil. The company promotes them for soil and Hydro. I did have a rough start with the under watering. Emilya is telling me that my PH should be between 6.2 -6.3. I been aiming for between 6.5-6.8.
Yeah I want to start in smaller cups, more perlite and maybe even mix two soil strains with lighter nutrients.
This hobby can be frustrating at times. This is a one player game really. You may get opinions and advice but in the end you are the one with all the decisions to make. It's good to see you did some research and found the problem.
