Hi community
This is my first journal. I've registered on the site a few weeks ago and introduced myself in another thread Hello 420mag community!
Greetings from Chile I will be posting here to share the latest events and also to ask for advices as this is my first grow. As a heads up, the crop went from week 5 to 6 a few days ago, however, I will briefly describe what happened in past weeks.
Setup:
Feeding with little water every 1 or 2 days, only when I notice the soil is drying.
Around 100ml daily, purified water with a bit of CalMg to bring the EC to 0.5 (PH 6.3). On some of the feeds, I've added a small dose of root enhancer (I had Mills Start R on hand by then) and also mycorrhizae (Plant Success Great White) to both the soil (specially when filling soil in) and irrigation water.
Week 3-4
I started adding a very small dose of veg nutes (1/4 of recommended) and stimulants to the irrigation water in accordance with the Lightmix NuteSchedule
To a 0.5L base water, + ~0.5 ml Mills Start R, ~0.5ml BioGrow, ~0.5ml BioHeaven + ~0.5ml Alg-a-mic. After mixing, irrigation water has a PH around 6.15 and EC around 0.7.
Week 5-6 (3rd to 9th July 2021)
Plants are growing fast and leaves are crazy big. I am a novice grower so I'd appreciate some hints regarding when and how to prune leaves. @Bill284 @Tokin Roll @Buds Buddy
This week I've slightly incresed the amount of nutes but still at half the dose from the Biobizz nutrition schedule . If I go by their recommendation, the EC goes around 1.8 so I am currently dividing in half and the other half with base water. 1 liter per plant 1-2 times per week, watering only when the soil dries .
Week 5 Biobizz Schedule dose/ per liter:
Bio Heaven 3ml ---> 1.5ml
BioGrow 3ml ----> 1.5ml
Alg-a-mic 3ml ----> 1.5ml
BioBloom 2ml ----> 1 ml
TopMax 1ml ----> 0.5 ml
In case you have gone through the attached thread, you'll have noticed that I indicated 4 pots of 11 liters in it as well as in the setup above. The 2 Think Different were subjected to a transplant and did not survive
thus I started with 2 more autos (Lebron Haze from BSF Seeds) and are being planted on soil as I am writing this. My plan is to to use a cover with ventilation holes (see pic below) in order to have increased humidity for the sprouts, specially during the early days, whilst the rest of the tent is around 50-60%.
Will follow up in a few minutes once the two new pots are placed in the tent.

, I don't know if it was a germination error or light/space limitations. Your are probably right
