Day 51

Soil grow
B - Plant seems to be stunted, roots feel firm and compact?(I might need to repot, I??m flowering in a week, was going to transplant before switch anyway) older leaves have turned yellow/ brown spots/ fell off. Growth appears horizontal now instead of vertical, there??s ??little trees? coming from the stems towards the light, complete with a set of new leaves.

C - since transplant, the plants seem to not have liked the change. There has been new growth, but it is slow. There are no new signs of problem leaves. Finally got FF don??t bug me and have applied several times, I mist plants lightly if I see any flying bugs. I??m going to start flowering both soil plants on 11/05.

Hydro
D - The system has been hard to control. Hard to control ph, hard to control root rot, hard to control temperature. The plants are now drinking about a gallon a day (which I did NOT know, checked the res after one day of not, 2 GALLONS GONE!!!, plants look like they are suffering now because of the lack of water) Root rot sucks, I get my roots looking semi good, then BAM, right back to crap. I have to constentaly add h202, rinse roots, trim roots, change res 2-3 times a week,, add ice 4-6 times a day. Overall the plants look good. Some plants have random spot patterns, burned tips. Overall the leaves are lush green, the new leaves do look and feel dry, but I think that is because they did not have enough water. The ph is another issue, again, I think it is because of the decayed roots from the rot. I know in fish tanks decaying material raise the ph?.. So I have to keep adding ph down?.. Res averages around 7.2-7.5 with spikes 8.0! I bring down to as close to 5.8 as I can, 8 hrs later back up 1.0! Plants range from 16??-10?, with a max of 11 levels of leaves on the largest one. Leaves have 9 ??fingers?.

9 plants total

On November 5 all 9 of my plants will be at least 8 weeks old. Most of the plants are in ??good? shape. I seem to have problems daily, but have been ??making it??. I guess?.. I??m starting the flowering stage on 11/05 for all my plants. I also will be starting my next ??real seeds? grow, I plan on doing sog, to harvest once a month (not sure if I??m loggin this one!). If I figured everything out correctly I should be harvesting around Christmas, sweet~!

If anyone has any suggestions/ words of wisdom?. Id appreciate it, im not sure if I suck growing or if I??m experiencing everything a new grower goes through. Sometimes I feel like if something can go wrong, it does! *sigh*

PurpleRoot Reviewed by PurpleRoot on . PurpleRoot's first grow log Hey all,:wtf: First time grower here, finally decided to give it a go. I have been very successfull in growing shrooms, have been doing it for approximately 7 yrs. I'm only in the begining stages of my grow life, still on the net 15-16 hrs a day learning, reading, watching, observing what others are doing/ have done. As soon as one of my babies sprouted I was hooked, and actually got my other half to go along with me on this project (amazing!) I was initally worried about growing MJ Rating: 5
