First Grow With LSD Fem

[1969gtx]

Looking good! We are only a day apart on our grows. I started the 6th. Lots of fun!
Are you sure on that ph level? Did you calibrate your ph meter? I'm a complete noob also, so I'm not an expert by any means. I was watering just slightly lower than the sweet spot, and I was getting nute lockout. That was around 5.9 ph. If you were at 4.9 ph, I'd think we'd see major lockout and nute deficiency.

Ok awesome @High Wally Thank you! And @1969gtx so I switched water for this last watering I guess I should have clarified that and that is what was sitting in my feed bucket now which I was going to use tmrw. I went from using tap water to bottle water that was sitting in the sun in the back of my truck to get rid of them but didn’t think about ph until after I watered them. This past week I haven’t had much growth so that was kinda what I was basing it off of but good call man! What I will do is when I get home I will take a sample of my tap water and see what the ph levels are! But you are right on calibration I just got it today didn’t even read the instructions so might have done it wrong lol

Update- it’s been a productive day. Plants love the new grow room and temps were steady at around 76F. I lowered the light today around 3” and will do the same tmrw maybe adjusting to 75% on the ballast? I calibrated my ph meter and mixed up a gallon of water with calmag first 1tsp let it sit for 5 min after mixing. Then added 1tsp of floragrow and 1tsp of floramicro. Ph levels were at 6.01 after the mixture. I watered until runoff which was quite a bit because I haven’t watered for about 3-4days they each took about a liter and a half. Now it’s a waiting game to see how they will take to the nutes and lowered light.

I like to experiment so I took the topping of the bigger plant from the other day and had it in water for a couple days. Stayed green and didn’t dry up so I figured I’d try putting it in soil to see what will happen. Nothing lost so I figured why not. Also if you look in the background I moved my jalapeño plants which I just repotted into the new 5gal fabric pots I just got and moved them into the tent. The Dixie cups aligned around the sides are orange trees I’m trying to grow and moved them in. Will these other plants affect the growing of my girls?

Shouldn’t have no effects for your Cannabis. Numbers look good so let’s see how the plants like there new feed.

Awesome hopefully there’s new growth. I kinda feel like they have stalled within the last week but idk maybe this will help them out.

 

[Pennywise]

They actually don’t look bad, let’s see what they do in the next few days.

 

[JustJus]

Ok thanks again for the help!

 

[JustJus]

Yesterday I lowered my light around 3-4” and turned it up to 75%. This morning I checked my tent and my heat went up to 85F and the humidity lowered to 40%. Is this ok or should I work on lowering my temps some and bringing humidity higher?

 

[JustJus]

Also my light is about 43” above my plants and everyday I lower it a couple inches until I get to 30” doing this since I just moved my plants to the tent

 

[Pennywise]

Try and get those temps down to 80 if you can. RH should be closer to 60% if you can raise it.

 

[JustJus]

Ok I will turn my fan up to lower heat. For bringing the RH up would I just bring some water into the ten in like a medium size bowl and also would it help to take a spray bottle and spray all around the tent or what would you do @Pennywise

 

[Pennywise]

You can try a bucket of water with a towel. Hang the towel with one end in the bucket. Use a fan to blow air across the towel.

Ok cool I will give it a try. Thank you!

 

[Pennywise]

Higher RH will get her drinking again.

 

[JustJus]

Just put a small tote with water and a towel in and RH immediately come up to 50% also put a duct with the fan from my ac that is outside the tent into it and the temps dropped down to 81F. Will keep an eye on it threw out the day to see what happens! Will this setup work better?

 

[Pennywise]

Sounds much better, do you have a VPD chart?

 

[JustJus]

No I don’t I will see if I can find one tho. How do they work?

 

[JustJus]

Ok just found one on google

 

[Pennywise]

Go down and find your temp then across to see what your RH should be. Here’s the chart that I have.
