Bannana blaze auto end of week 3.

[Watweed_2009]

Hi guys, first time growing autos or anything to be honest, just after some advice, using biobizz nutes under led lights, temps 26/27 humidity at 45 percent, they seem OK but not sure if they are a bit small, biggest ones 5 inches tall and pretty wide. I've got one runt that's 4 inches tall, it's the end of week 3 now. cheers pics are a bit gash apologies.

Thanks for the reply, no signs of nute burn, pests etc. Any tips on watering I ph rigorously at 6.5 after adding nutes. Spray the top inch of soil quite wet and hit the bottom trays with an inch or so, normally lasts about 24 hours till they are dry again, is that enough do you think??

hard to say unless you take picture under normal lighting and i use coco not soil so i cant really help there but a good rule of thumb with soil is water when the pot losses half its weight lift the pots daily and get used to how they feel after watering once they loose half that weight water again

@Watson1984 Welcome to AFN. Growers that have tried that mix here on AFN have not had good luck with it. You are kinda in a no man's land because coco is a hydro substrate and peat is a soil substrate. So do you fertigate for hydro or soil? Coco should be fertigated to 15% run-off every time the pot needs water and peat should be fertigated, watered, watered repeat and not nescasarily to run-off? Coco requires a little extra Ca, Mg and Iron peat does not. Nutrient readily rinse out of coco not out of peat. So you see the possible problems.

I am not saying it cannot be done, we just don't see end well often here.

And to your question as I had to Google what fertigate means hahah, basically I started off first week and a half wirh just ph water, I then started adding biobizz nutes gently, I've upped them now not massively but just a bit, and wet the pot till its heavy and make sure I hit the bottom trays, with a water sprayer pump thing. I kind of soak the top and bottom so it meets in the middle
