Hi! I'm a newbie. Very excited to learn. Started growing 2 clones, blue dream and dream queen in September. I had no idea what went into growing when I decided to buy these 2 clones. I thought I'd keep them in the house like my succulents, lol.
Turns out it's a bit more to it. But, I'm enjoying watching them transform.
I'm struggling with the ph,ppm,ec though and I need to learn fast. I bought a ph meter but couldn't figure it out. Local hydro store suggested simplifying it and I bought ph kit. I only started trying to manage the ph a couple weeks into flowering. I can't tell what's going on with my plants but they seem to making nice buds-for a first timer. However, is like to give them the best care possible and I don't think I'm up to speed... I had them in 24/0 for about 6 weeks and started flowering about 40 days ago. I'm using 5 T5's (from the hydro store) and 2 led's (from Home Depot). They're in a 3x3 tent with a filter output vent, 2 fans inside and 1 going in from outside the tent. Temps range from 75F to 60F but has had a couple days where it went up to 80F. The humidity is appx 40-50%.
I'm using geo 5 gal pots/perlite/Mendocino soil/coconut coir/compost tea/worm castings/FoxFarm big bloom for flowering and grow big for veg/neem oil and dr bonners super suds on foliage for possible pests (only twice). I have never found mites but some leaves have white specs. I have a magnifying glass to inspect.
I fed them Sea Max a couple of times in the beginning. I'm planning to get hp lighting for the next grow....
I just want to master the ph thing asap but right now I'm super clueless. Thanks!
