Couple of Questions to shake off the rust
Hi hows it going, this is my first grow in awhile, I probably have about 5 harvest under my belt(all with 400 watt setup in telephone booth like space,ebb & flow & soil)but now I have my first bigger setup, 2 1000's,charcoal filter,wall a/c unit in a 5 ft wide 9ft long 6'6 ft high space w/ (a drip system eventually)for now I'm watering by hand.I keep the temp between 73-78 degrees, I want to get a humidifier so i can have the humidity on lock, but it generally stays between 53-63, Im a little new to the digital TDS meter and measuring your ppm in water, even though I had a ebb & flow before I was "very" young and inexperianced, I remember just using the back of the label on nutirents to guess kinda -lol...now I understand much better, but probably could still use some help...I was kinda using this chart for reference about PPM levels https://www.greenpassion.org/index.p...399-ppm-chart/
I just started the clones this past Monday(10pm-4pm), I have 12 bunched under one light(3 gallon pots) right now while there in veggie and when flowering starts Ill split them off under the 2 lights.
-I use a RO filter,Sunshine soiless mix as medium,(nutrients I use are) CNS Grow,Ripe & Bloom w/ Liquid Karma and Cal Mag. The Light started off at 36 inches and i worked my way down to about 21-23 inches over the course of the week. I started them off w/ a pretty low PPM at about 275 and 300 for the first and second day. then shot up to about 475 the third cause I just had a feeling they could take it(hope that wasn't a mistake) and were ready.(all the water given had a PH of about 6.5-6.6)
They seemed to respond well to the higher dosage(leafs perky, new growth already showing very green) so i stuck pretty close to that dosage for the next 2 days(500 & 510) and they still seem to be doing pretty good...there just not as green as i would like...almost seem a yellow shade but still green paleish...i only water them once when the lights turn on, and the soiless medium holds water very very well...maybe too well?
So basically Im just asking for general advice, Ill try and get some pictures up here soon, so you can see what im talking about...Since there still in the first week of VEG, Im going to lower the PPM in there water to about 350 for 2 days to see how they react...
Im also going to post how much of the nutrient solution i used for each day so feel free to chime in on that if you see something wrong
Day 1 & Day 2
1/2 tsp liquid karma
1/2 tsp cal mag
1 tsp grow
Day 3
tsp cal mag
2 tsp grow
1 tsp liquid karma
Day 4 & day 5
1 tsp cal mag
2 tsp grow
1 1/2 tsp liquid karma
