Hello AFN,
How do you guys and gals measure your nutrients, as well as feeding your microgrows?
Do you guys actually mix in nutrients by the gallon measurement from the manufacturer's feeding charts / bottle directions? Or is it actually calculated down from how much water you are actually using?
For instance, the way I have been measuring it, is by using a 32 oz spray bottle, which is 1/4 of a gallon, and then if the bottle says to use only 1 teaspoon / tablespoon, I use 1/4 teaspoon or tablespoon mixed in the spray bottle, then I pH it. Afterwards, I just pour in enough until there are runoff.
Is it okay to be doing it that way? Or should I be mixing it in a full gallon of water with nutrients and only water enough until runoff? And if I do mix my nutrients by the gallon, is it safe to cap it, and then shake it every once in a while?
Currently it seems like the method I've been doing it, is not working so well.
I am in my 6th week from seed, and she looks really in bad shape. Her very bottom leaves turned yellow and dried out, so I did remove them. Now her leaves are starting to turn yellow from the bottom up.
They are growing in a space bucket, the container is a 1.2L tupperware which the bottom part is completely covered up so that way the roots do not get any light, the medium is
OF, the nutrients are Roots Organics Grow, and Bloom, GH Cal/Mag, and a Roots Organics Surge 2-2-0.5, which has a different N-P-K that's stated from the original website 0.75-0.1-0.5. This is also my very first grow.
