New Grower Al's 1st Auto Grow: Think Different LED/TLO

[Albert Eimstoned]

Day 25

I fed the girls their 1st growth tea. I bubbled it for a day and a half and diluted it to half strength. Next time they'll get full strength. They look great today. I guess they loved the tea! My friend came and got the runt (which is growing like crazy now) so now there are only 2 in the tent. As soon as they hit 8" I'll put the SCROG up and start training them. Now for the pics:

Day 30

Commence SCROGing! One is at around 9" and the other 8". I'll take a pic after the 1st bend.

Day 32



The net is at 8" above the soil. You can see the vertical growth is taking off!

Day 37



The girl on the left is starting to develop some sort of issue, check out the pictures:



Temp is a steady 81, humidity at 40%. I fed them their first full strength veg tea Friday morning. I have yet to check the runoff pH but will do so when I water them again in a few days. I've been giving them CaMg+ with every watering since they got their 2nd set of true leaves. Any help would be appreciated.

Bump. Problem seems to be spreading. Anybody got any ideas until I ph my soil?

Ok the admins have determined that I have a Ca/Mg issue. The pH of my watering solution was really low (5.2) so Ca is being locked out. I foliar fed with CaMg+ & yucca. I'll be using treated tap water from now on because my RO/DI water was susceptible to pH swings de to being too pure.

Day 43

I'm pretty sure she isn't going to get any taller. In a few days I'll give the girls their 1st bloom tea. The Ca deficiency seems to be slowing down, but I'm going to give her one more foliar feeding tomorrow. Since I'm watering with conditioned tap I'm hoping that the extra mineral in the water will help keep this in check. On to the pictures.

I think next go 'round I'll SCROG much earlier (if at all). My next grow is a photo (Barney's Blue Cheese) and I'm going to SCROG the crap out of it!
