I was using a digital moisture meter that was like $15 but blumat makes a digital 1 that is super duper accurate! It works same way as their carrots that distribute water where it’s like a clay sensor on end that has a water sleeve inside and as soil dries out it pulls moisture from the clay in some scientific way but it’s 1000X more accurate then the kinds with the metal prongs on them for digital readings! They also do make an analog 1 that’s a lil cheaper but the blumat u literally put it in pot and leave it there and just hit power button to turn on when u want a reading! Easy peasy and like $75!
So glad that the ladies are back on track now! My last watering I did go ahead and try to start the bloom feeds but 2 girls got minor tip burn in a few spots which I suspect may be the bloom ferment! I haven’t strained my full spectrum so used some from my stockpile and did mango/kiwi but lil stronger dose then usual which is prob the culprit! The 2 garlic sherbert tho took the feed and kept on a trucking!

Seems to be a mag hog! I’ll try to add something just for her! 1/2 gal each pot makes dosing easy! View attachment 1367425

Purple stipules and pistols already!

No pistols but also has the purple stipules!
And the 1/2gal every 3 days seems to be on point for now! Plants are happy and soil in every pot is happy and on point!

Will say the @Medic Grow LED is working great! Not sure I’ll need to hit 100% on dimmer but we’ll see! On 80% for now and keeping rh around 65% I can keep tent about 85-87 with intake fan and temp controller!
back on track, 7 more weeks or so
Looking good, happy you got everything under control.Been slacking on updates cuz plants had been giving me grief! Got em all greened up and started going light green again on me! Couldn’t figure out why they were so hungry but finally doing something in the pots I had to pull the mulch back and realized I’ve got fungus gnats or something running around in my soil! Now wishing I had ordered nematodes back when I set these pots up! Ordered 5million yesterday that’ll go out Monday to be here Wednesday! Til then not giving nutrients so I can instead water in a 4:1 ratio of h2o2 so I can kill any newly hatched larvae and then the nematodes can take care of the rest! I’m just glad I finally noticed them before they were so far into bloom that it totally screwed my harvest up!

I’ll try to update more often as I wage war on my soil invaders so we can see how quickly the nematodes do their thing! Not positive it’s fungus gnats cuz I haven’t seen anything flying around but they sure looked similar but were crawling all over top of the soil! Regardless what they are they aren’t welcome and it’s time for them to go!
Def ain’t got it under control yet I just know what I need to do to get em back on track!
) and seem to be heading in right direction now! Got 1/2 a batch of 10mill nematodes applied to the 4 ladies and been doing just water only to see how they’d respond and seems to be working! Think having some food in soil/ plus a topdressing during veg/ and my knf waterings been overdosing the girls! Gonna do few more water only feeds to see how it goes but not having gnats eating the roots up or whatever them creatures were it should help them get back to being able to uptake nutrients as they need to!
Even at 80% getting plenty of lumens and pretty easy to keep tent 85F/60% without intake and exhaust fans running nonstop!
