Grow Room Wollkopf's Mephisto micro grow

@Wollkopf im here and ready to follow along mate.

i'll move it over here just so we don't clog up @awolace thread , anyways you shouldn't of had a perched water table in a smart pot so just disregard that, but for information sake its say when your running a pot with no drainage and you have a water saturation point where say part of the pot remains submersed or heavily saturated with un-oxygenated water which preventing roots from wanting to growing into it.

But i have a idea that its the opposite as in you were underwatering but correct me if im wrong but i'll read back through your past round later, but have you every done a saturation test of your media to see how much water it can hold ?

If not just take an empty pot and fill with your media of choice then give it a good watering till you have run off, now here the thing allow that pot to sit in a bucket or tray with that run off and let it sit for 30mins or so then come back and see if the pot has sucked it back up or not, if it has then you water some more till you have leftovers in your tray, but then let that pot drain once at that stage till no more runoff and then you know what a full pot feels like, you can also measure how much liquid you put in and take out if wanting to figure out volume wise.

But say in later veg and flowering your watering amount goes up quite a bit and if the roots weren't utilizing everything and you were top watering, makes me wounder if you were under-watering in the later stages.

A first thank you for your detailed answer and a second thank you for moving this to my thread!

I´ve never done a saturation test, so I don´t know how much my medium holds. In the end I watered them every second day, with 4 l for all 5 plants together. Maybe that was not enough.
I just watered my actual plants today with 1,5 l (for all 4) of plain water from the top and saw that the water drips out of the sides of the smartpots approximately at the half pot height. Maybe the top half was wet, and the run off was just not enough to get the bottom half wet enough, and due to the high temperatures (topping at 36°C for half the grow) I had during my last grow, it just evaporated. Do you think this is possible?

Now the temperatures are much lower, topping at 28°C over the last 7 days (did a temp check before I germed the seeds). Maybe this will reduce the problem... Maybe if the plants are a little bit bigger, I´ll do a (mild) saturation test. I think I´ll just have to figure it out... So thank you again for your reply!

@awolace nice to see you in my thread!

Does anybody of you use the biobizz nutes line and has some aditional advice or useful additions? I´m using Grow, Bloom, alg-a-mic, top mix and a little bit root juice. I also have a cal-mag supplement I use, but I don´t know of which brand. THanks in advance!

Day 7: They are growing very nice. Today they had their first mild feed with 0,5 ml/L biobizz grow and 1ml/L algamic.

Can't wait till the first two weeks are over and more growth from day to day will be visible.

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

looking spot on for a week.
quite a few of us using biobizz,most get great results just using grow/bloom or fishmix/bloom.check out hairymans grows.i have/use root juice 1st 2 weeks,throw some heaven at a plant the odd time.both expensive products so probably wont get them again when i run out.alg a mic is reasonably cheap id chuck in a couple of ml/L but again im not convinced any of the extras do a lot to warrent the cost.
sorry not the answer you were looking for,maybe others will pipe in with proper detail.
good luck n keep er lit.

Looking great pal, as for the biobizz you will find every one who uses it has there own personal preferences @Spanglish has very detailed numbers in his grows for feeding biobizz nutes, the best thing I think is to add microbes and that to your soil which you have done,,

I have trimmed back the products I use to just the fishmix and bloom, I introduce bloom nutes 10 days after they show sex and start the fishmix day 7 as it takes a few days to break down in the soil ,so ready for feeding day 10, I also add a dash epsome salts this should in my experience alleviate the need for additional cal mag when using with fishmix.

Alg/mic is also good as a foiliar spray but I no long use it,,,, so is fishmix

I agree with archie a lot of stuff is bells and whistles ,

Thanks @hairyman for tagging me in, and best of luck @Wollkopf with the grow looks like you are off to a good start

Put together some info on my Bio Bizz feeds a while back that can be found at the links below, hopefully you will find some knowledge in my ramblings there lol

[Wollkopf]

Thank you all for the information! I'll have a long read!

 

[Wollkopf]

@Spanglish Just had a enlightening read over nute schedule.

Just saw, that my grape crinkle is a little bit special with only one fingered leaves in the second leave set. What do you all think?

 

[trueSight]

I'd feed her and see what happens.
Those mutations are part of evolutionary process. Consider yourself gambling, who knows maybe it will happen to be the best weed ever.

I'll do that. Maybe its a one in a million mutation and the stealthiest strain LOL!
