Indoor 2nd Grow - Automazar grow journal

[fakula]

Hi guys, after my successful 1st attempt I'm going for round 2 straight away, same set up as last time

-80x80x160 tent
-11litre pots (2 pots I drilled holes into to see if there is a differenceto the ones I didn't put holes in)
-400hps
-Biobizz Light Mix
-BioGrow,Bio-Bloom,Top-Max and I added Bio Heaven this time to see if there's any difference, also this time round I will be using epsom salts to help with a slight Mag deficiency that I had a problem with last time.

So there you have it, I'll update ye once or so a week with pics n shit hope ye enjoy!

Day 3

All looking nice and healthy, still waiting for my ph and EC meter to arrive, didn't use em for my last grow and it went fine, thinking I should pay attention to more detail as I go, monitoring the temperature like a motherfucker too, hard to keep the light cool when it is so far away from the small ones, the osc fan is doing it's job like a boss tho


All 5 are looking the same as the strongest of my last venture, I have a great feeling about this grow I can feel it in my bones, fed them each 250ml of mineral water yesterday, moistening the top of the soil twice a day,not too much just trying to keep the humidity levels up, also for this grow I've rearranged my carbon filter to be inside the tent this time instead of last time where I had it outside while the smelly air was getting passed through it, also made an epic fail of only using cable ties to seal the ducting over the filter, this time I'm using duct tape, fingers crossed it'll fix the problem

Day 11




The babies are doing great, feeding them water still, will probably give them their 1st feed after day 14 or there abouts, I can see a noticeable difference in growth rate from putting them in their final pot as opposed to using propagators, I know I'm far from an expert yet but I can safely say I'll be doing this method from now on,going to add a small epsom salt mix to my next watering, using mineral water (6.3ph) and will continue using this throughout the grow,with a feed/feed/water schedule, I didn't try this with my last grow either so it'll be fun to see how it turns out, now I'm going to enjoy some medicine from my widows

Day 19

Delighted to report that 2 of the 5 can officially be called ladies So naturally I'm typing and medicating hehehehehe some Gold patches on the leaves, almost coppery to look at, never seen em before so any advice would be sound! gave em just water today after 2 feedings, might just stick to that cycle and see how I go, sorry about the crappy pics too,using a shitty iPhone and it can't handle my bulb, besides I'll make the extra effort when they're in flower, also I'm on a 20/4 cycle, it is good to drop down to 18/6 to sort of replicate nature, or will a 20/4 cycle give me a bigger yield than switching back, thanx again for reading, this assignment is only getting started!!!

 

[fakula]

any one willing to give their 2 cents?

It's a struggle to tell you anything without some solid photo evidence but the moment you said gold coppery patches on the leaves my head screamed magnesium deficiency. I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will jump in but your first port of call is gonna be epsom salts. I've had no need to use any yet so I'm unsure of the ratio to use but again, someones bound to step in very soon dude.

Peace
