Greetings everyone. Welcome to my first journal and foray into the wonderful world of Auto's and growing! I am hoping that I can maintain a somewhat detailed and comprehensive journal to help myself and aid others in any way I can.
Please do not be shy with your comments, opinions and thoughts as I need all the information and advice I can get. I'm a big boy......it's called constructive criticism.
I am hoping to keep this somewhat perpetual, for a while any way. Wish me luck!
On to the show.
I am growing in a 2x4x7 tent with a 6" carbon filter/ 400 cfm fan hookup.
Soil: Fox Farms Happy Frog amended with dolomite lime, Azomite and 25% perlite.
Lighting: 18/6 - 2 Mars-Hydro 98x5 Reflector LED's (207 pulled watts each.) 24" above girls and CFLs supplementing as needed.
Pots: I have 3 -3 gal. Airpots and the remaining pots are 9x9 square 3 gal.
PH Testing: Oakton EcoTestr PH2 and a Control Wizard Accurate8 Soil PH and moisture meter
Nutes: Fox Farms Trio. I also have Botonicare CalMag+, Silica Blast, Canna PK13/14, Beastie bloom and ChaChing. (Not that I will be using all of these but it is what I have available.)
Water so far is tap water that has been sitting out for a couple days.
AND the stars of the show... My Girls! I have one of each of:
Bubblelicious and No. Lights from Nirvana
Blackstone from Autoflower-portal
Toof Decay and Alien X Triangle from Mephisto Genetics.
Bubblelicious, No. Lights and the Blackstone are 11 days old today and not looking too bad. They have probably been a bit overwatered...typical noob mistake. The Toof Decay just popped above soil yesterday so today she is 1 day old. The AlienX is another story. I popped her in the soil last Monday and she has been twisting and turning trying to find her way to daylight. I finally saw her poke her head out yesterday but she looks ill and I'm not sure if she's going to make it or not. I will give her another day or two to see how it goes. I got a little too ambitious with having 5 girls at the same time anyway. I need to do 4 then add 2 more in a month or so if I want to go perpetual.
To start, I noticed a problem already with my Blackstone. She has had zero nutes, other than what is on the soil. When I watered her Friday, she did get splashed on but I wiped it off the best I could. This morning I noticed rust spots already. I can't water/feed her yet as her pot is still too moist. Suggestions/thoughts? I have read that these can be nute sensitive.....but already? Perhaps. Foliar spray?
The 3 bigger girls have had a light watering on Friday. Soil is reading 6.7 on all pots, RH is 25/61, temps 66/84.
Bubblelicious Day 11.
No. Lights Day 11.
Blackstone Day 11.
Toof Decay Day 1.
And the struggling Alien X Triangle.
Thanks for checking me out. Please feel free to provide me with any comments, criticism, advice or anything else you feel I may need.
