Grow at night? The plants dont care. I run at night -the temp is low. It would be impossible to grow in the day during the summer for me without a/c.


As far as watering and soil. This works for me. I know some people will be saying really?

I grew up analyzing soil moisture for mostly pineapple and tomatoes. We never flooded. So this is how I learned about watering. I get no runoff from my pots in soil. I dont care if its always dry on the edges. What I do care about is there is moisture available where needed. An easy way we seen this 1st hand in school was to water a few pots of soil. We then dumped one every other day and seen the moisture cycle in the given environment without killing plants.

new clone in soil.

350ml per day.in 2 waterings of 175ml.

3rd node

450ml per day. 1 shot. I follow this till Im in the 3rd week of flower.

3rd week of flower.
I flush the soil at this point on day 21 flower.

700ml every other day. I want the flowers to be able to thrive. They should be well set and grow from many points now.

last 10 days

Flood with fresh water then after every other day 700ml.

Keep in mind this is a room that has 30-40% humidity and runs 78 deg. You might vary as you have Higher temps. If you are growing during the day switch to night. you can lower a few degrees easy if you do..


"i wrote the values cuz it asked, and now they mean nothing?"

They do mean something of course. If you knew the what, when and why you used other than dumping it in, it would mean alot more. Like if you knew your k was down and you use a fast acting 0.2-0-0.9, it would mean alot more.

ON CALMAg

If you are just using tap, most likely you will never need it. Its the basic stuff most all water has plenty of already. Now if your r/o user, then you will need to get about 1-200 ppm back into in the water before adding ANY other nutes.

"from my experience with with this strain ( about three runs this year, and some a couple years back). they always seem to to show signs of mag def around the second or third week, so i preemptively add calmag. once in the beginning, then about the fourth week. "

Ok you crossed a line, haha. This is one strain I personally use. I have never had a mag issue.

bluelab truncheon ec meter, works great for a few months then check it with the standard 2.77 ec solution and its off, reading at 2.1 ,2.2., even with recommended cleaning after damn near every time i use it. so i didn't bother checking these mixes, but by all means, recommend a ec meter that just reads ec and can be calibrated.

You have a great tool there, learn to calibrate it. Any meter will drift or be off at some point, just don't let it get out of hand, if so calibrate it, no big deal. If I had to recommend one it would be Milwaukee or blue-lab.


Im not a big sprayer. I have been able to wash alot of pests off with plain old water. If i need to spray pest its usually pyrethrin, right as lights go out and I never move the plants.


Cant wait to see them next week, I love growing....anything.
