Growing For Broke

[Grimmus]

Pots filled and presoaked. Seeds just went in damp paper towels. 8 red poison, 5 purple punch, 2 crystal candy xl, and 3 amnesia express. Rooms turned on and dialed in. sitting at 78f and 40% humidity before watering, Dehumidifier is set to 60%. Should be planting in 48-72hrs.:smoking:

48 hours and all seeds had good tap roots except 1 red poison and 1 purple punch. I switched them with crystal candys. I'll mist with distilled water until they get going. Raised lights to 40 inches. Rooms sitting at 55%rh and temps are at 78f.

17 healthy seedlings. Still waiting on one to show. Soaking a purple haze seed just in case. Just been keeping everything moist until they start drinking.

Just been keeping the soil moist. Trying to get the pots to dry evenly top to bottom. I made a really light mix (.5 no per gal) of calmag (tps organic)and R/O water and gave each about a 1/4 gal. They are drying out to fast with just misting. I bought a cheap Amazon water pump, sprayer, and hose
To make it a lot easier to water. I'll try to keep giving small sips and spraying for the next week or two.

 

[Grimmus]

Still just misting, and giving small sips every 2-3 days. R/o water with 1/2ml per gal. Im going do the same thing for this week. I'll give a full watering next weekend.

 

[Grimmus]

The small sips and sprayings aren't keeping up. Giving 1/2 gallon each of R/o with .5ml per gal cal mag, tablespoon of mollasses, and a sprinkle of great white, PhD to 6.5. Should last 3-4 days. Once they get a bit bigger I'll start giving 1

gallon each and let dry until pots are light.

I mixed in some nutes today. Figured it wouldnt hurt going into week four. I added 10ml cal mag, 40ml micro grow and bloom(AN) to 20 gallons of r/o water and PhD up to 6.5. Watered each until a decent amount of runnoff. Run off tested a bit more acidic than the water going in. Around 6.0. Most of the plants are doing good. Im seeing issues from 1 of the Red poisons. It's really light green and has orange spots. And 1 of the purple haze has similar spots. Im assuming I let those 2 get a little to dry. They are the smallest plants so roots may not have been as deep as the rest. I'll know more in a few days. The rest are doing ok. Really starting to take off. Most are in preflower. Im hoping I have a jungle to take a picture of next week.

Starting to blow up. And getting alot more thirsty. It's been three days since I watered. They were a little to dry. Going to start giving 1 gal every 48 hrs. I watered today with R/o water with 1ml of cal mag per gal. I plan on giving cal mag twice. then I'll do a regular feed. Rinse repeat.

 

[Grimmus]

The big girls are drinking a gallon every 48 hrs now. I mixed 1ml per gal of calmag to Ro water. PhD to 6.5. Gave all the big girls a gallon each. The 3 small ones just got a small sip. The red poisons are already showing purple calyx. I'll prolly do a light feed next watering. And feed every third watering after. I'll use calmag in between.

 

[Grimmus]

Mixed up 60ml of micro grow and bloom(AN) into 15 gal of R/o water.PhD to 6.5. Gave all the girls on the growcraft side a gallon each. Run off tested acidic(5.5) I'm not sure why that is? I've fed them once at the end of week 3 really light 1/2ml calmag(TPS) ,

2ml micro grow and bloom(AN). I used calmag for the next 2 waterings at 1ml per gal. And I fed today with the 4ml per gal AN micro grow and bloom. I've never used RO water for a whole grow cycle and im not sure if im over/under doing the calmag? I didn't have my phone charged so I didnt get very good photos. But I'll be heading out there tomorrow or Sunday to check on them and water the ones that didn't need it today. I'll get some photos of the issues im seeing. ( orange spots on some leaves, green veins with lighter leaves, curling/clawing? of some leaf tips, acidic runnoff) @Mañ'O'Green @Trichome farmer @420Forever @St. Tom
