Hello all!
Absolute newbie and just posted in the intro forum.
Ill try and keep this short, and thank you all for taking the time!
NL auto, seedsman.
I tried to get this to grow in soil, but i prolly have a black thumb, cause I cannot get anything to even germinate in soil. Not just cannabis, but lettuce, tomatoes, nothing. I was particular with my watering, making sure and doing as suggested. Failed and wasted maybe bout half a dozen auto seeds.
Suspecting the soil to be the problem, I started 2 seeds, one in coco, and one in the soil. The coco sprouted just fine in a couple of days, the soil did not. So I took the coco seed a week later and planted in the soil, 23 days later and the seedling barely grew, afraid to lose another seed, as a last ditch I build myself a DWC rig, and transplanted it in there. I am aware with autos im restricted by the genetic clock, but it was this or loose the plant. The below pics, as from the soil, day 23. The second pic is of the same plant after being in the DWC rig for 23 days.
Below are the pics from today. day 29 in the DWC :
My concern are the veins and white spots. The older leaves took a beating during the whole switching medium bit and I have been ignoring em.
I am concerned about root rot, and have these issues focused below.
My environment is running a rh of 45-55%, ambient temps are between 15-25C
For nutes, since I was pretty sure I lost this plant, I am using a local brand in 11 ratio (nutes, grow, bloom), for 3ml/6ml/3ml in 4L of water
I changed the res yesterday. And added 1ml of local CalMag, and to counter my suspicion of root rot, I got hold of Bactorr13 from the nutrient company, beneficial bacteria, and added .20g of it. Current reading is as follows :
Tap water.
Background pH @ 7.4
Background EC @ 233
Res pH : 5.9
Res EC : 1.3
Res temp : 15-20C
Bucket size is 10L, holding 4.5L at present. + 2 airstones.
Northern Lights Automatic from Seedsman.
My lights rig is self made. 3000K led bulbs without diffusers, for a total of 120W, with an efficiency of 100lms i think. I don't see any stretching of the plants, so I think im ok with this for the time being. Will invest in a proper grow light at some point. Also have 2 x 10W batons on the side, which are on now. Currently the lights are 12" above the top leaves.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. Ill start again if this is a no go, but I would really appreciate even a small harvest from this plant. Ill happily share any other details you may require, and grateful for any help given.
Thank you!
Cheers!
