Second Indoor Grow Attempt

[Boomshankar]

Total run off collected.

 

[chemistry]

As long as you get some run off all's good, keep it at three litres and see if your run off gets better as this week goes on, as you feed to run off, channels will form in your coco as the finer stuff is watered through, this is good. Means you can't over water and your coco is working, I was teetering on the edge about your run off. What's the PH and PPM of the run off?

 

[Boomshankar]

900 ml approximately
One full 500ml and the other 400ml filled. Have a look

Did not check Meters not arrived yet bro. Monday hopefully

That's ok, 2100 stayed in your coco, result. Stick to what your doing, that's a good amount of run off, means your free draining, so you can't over water.

Sneak the bottle into the back of the fridge until Monday. ;)

Bro can you elaborate the 2100 part, I did not understand

You put 3000ml in (3 litres) and 900ml (nearly a litre) came out, so 2100ml left in your coco (2 litres and 100ml).

Right!!

 

[Boomshankar]

I am waiting for the meters and lights to arrive

 

[chemistry]

Right!!

Just pick up your pots and get used to the weight of them after watering, and after a while you will develop a knack of when to water, and how much they need by the weight of the pot. If your going to master coco, then this is a good skill to master.

Yes I felt the difference today. As I had to collect the runoff

 

[Boomshankar]

Ok one more change I did today, earlier my lights would go off at 8pm and on at 2am. I have changed that to off at 11pm and on at 5am.

 

[Boomshankar]

I usually water around 11am

Should be ok with the light change, only 3 hours difference, I've had powercuts last five hours and suffered no ill effects.

Today I got runoff in all four plants from 2liter total feed. All four had different amount of runoff, and the runoff takes time after i feed. The ph was 7plus.

 

[chemistry]

Can you get the PH down a bit, going in high, and coming out around 5.8, that way as your nuits wash over your roots and permeate through your medium, the PH will drop, this gives your plant a good PH spread and helps to avoid defs. The time it takes to filter through your medium is good, if it just falls through your medium, it wouldn't have time to soak any thing up.

So around what ph should I feed?
