My First Grow Ever! Excited!

[DominaMortem]

Everything's looking a bit sad from all the water. Hopefully will look better in a few days

A couple of my plants always look sad & wilty after I water; used to freak me out~ they normally come back in a couple hours~ looks like you're on the right track though!

I'm actually catching up on my notes right now. And it would make sense that the buffer would dissipate over time.

I thought of your log today when they announced the winners of the "Cursive Is Cool" contest.

 

[DominaMortem]

Just checked that out, it's a cool contest. I learned cursive in kindergarten and just stuck with it.

Cursive is a vanishing art. My father has an old military order signed my general Ulysses Grant that is written in elegant cursive. Today that seems like such a odd mix--sending instructions for battle in flowing handwriting...

Good Evening. So the GSC are on the mend but now the SD is looking funky (same problem as the others). Time to check soil again tomorrow.

Good evening. Glad to hear GSC OTM. Photos of funkiness would be fabulous if/when you have a chance.

So did I! Whenever I write in cursive at work; people look at me like I'm constructing spells or something.

So I have a question. I'm using Nectar for the Gods now and I'm wondering if I should mix each one separately or should I mix them together in a gallon of water?

 

[DominaMortem]

My husband jokingly accuses me of that all the time hahah.

With a name like DominaMortem, spell construction is to be expected.

RTFM?

It's good to make sure you're doing it right, though, by all means. For example, in my General Hydroponics regimen, you have to add the Ca/Mg supplement first, micronutrients second, and then either of the other two bottles (Gro & Bloom). If you don't do it in that order, some of the nutrients in the Ca/Mg and or micros get "locked out." (I think they might be in an alkaline solution and the others are acidic or something like that.) I guess this all comes under "Constructing Potions."

I would start with 3/4 of a gallon, room temp, water and begin with (Assuming you are in early-mid Veg looking at your photos): Medusa's Magic and mix it thoroughly. Then add Gaia Mania and mix. Continue with Athena's Aminas and mix. Next is Demeter's Destiny and mix thoroughly. Add Herculean Harvest and mix. Finish with adding Zeus Juice and the remaining 1/4 gallon of water - MIX!!!! I like to let mine sit for 24 hours. MIX again then test with PH meter BEFORE feeding. This is when I adjust accordingly and then feed.

Google it.

And I thought my feed plan was complicated!

LOL, come on Scientific- let me make it more simple then: Get water. Get nutes. Mix nutes and water. Measure levels of PH and PPMs. Adjust. Feed. Observe plants over time and adjust.

Any chance my pH problem comes from needing to transplant?

Previous picture was one of the GSC. This one is one of the Afghani seedlings.

I don't see how.

Nice roots! They definitely look ready for "up-potting."
