Doing two to a cup for an experiment?

What’s the the expectation?

Idea was, hopefully guarantee a female per cup, 3 would definitely have better chance to "guarantee" it.

As these are reg seeds from my brief breeding period..

Or I get lucky and have two nice colas without stunting from topping.

Will these little ones be transplanted to bigger pot?

May keep em like that, get the root system to envelop the small space and start frequent fertigation, and flower



Shorter wet cycles, more oxygen to root zone

I got plenty of space for that 3x3 run now too =)
And time to start it.

Waking back up.

Been giving them more light and heat.


Getting on better footing.

And mimosa mints, did not sprout.

Dropping another round in water this time to watch germination.

Switching from 18/6 to
6/2
To 4/2 has stressed these babies out lol.

Expectedly so, but now they are looking "monster cropped" so that's cool.

They will adjust as I attempt to get things more dialed in.

Have been seeing more growth though since then.

Still having VPD/temperate issues but, as stated above, still dialing in this balancing act.

The tent itself is also in a bad spot right next to balcony doors.

I will finally be able to get some phosphorus acid so I can get the pH in the right zone and get nutrient uptake better off.

Had my second day at work this week.

Not looking that good at all right now but could be worse.

Been trying to make sure these seedlings also get enough light, but seems too much for the clones somehow.


They don't mind the unusual veg hours, it's just when you switch it back and forth, then they go - "what the fuck man?"

I'll be buying a humidifier as well when I can.

Maybe finally get ENV controller with intake/exhaust rigged as well ...just not been in the Budget, got a family to provide for.


get a decent grow for vipar, these lights are great still sofar.

I've been using a little lime juice to tweak the pH but it's not as strong and I don't want to use a lot of it.

Starting to get back on track moreso now.

Am all over the place.

I miss my 5x5 up but wife didn't want it taking space or time rn.

My unstable environment isn't very nice either lol.

I'll hit 80s F but 40s Rh...

No worries man. You’ll get dialled in.

GNick & Mikedin are looking at my girls ATM. Following the theory of overwatering and nitrogen toxicity I believe.

Only big change from G$ schedule was dropping epsom. Seems I over did it.

What’s the new job? Day two is nothing. By week two you’ll find your footing. By month two you’ll be in a routine.

Keep experimenting, keep it interesting.

Restaurants industry, I'm a sever, casual and fine dining experience.

Serving at fkin abuelos for now, in a little nicer area so its not too bad clientele.

Glad they helping you out, the one immediate sign of nitro toxic was the clawing leafs.
Otherwise still looking good, my plants are suffering from not having correct ph/acid. Gotta buy some this next week.



I'm finally seeing some more growth but yea they struggling due to the pH.

 

[Zen_Seeker]

Is that basil?

Glad the new gig is cool and in a good area.

Never done it but iirc good comfortable shoes and smiling are the two key parts. And get a stain pen.

I have a jug of acid I don’t need as my soil has dolomite in it.

I have read that in a pinch lime or vinegar will work but look that up as I only read it in passing.

Bout time, got some more acid

 

[Lockebox]

How much acid did you take bro that's a bottle of pH down...

Hahah I'm playing, id be lost without phosphoric acid myself and my 8.3 tap

Same here, in the bay area, the water usually gives me a deep blue with the chemical drop tests (PH 8.5+), but the water has around 40 - 50 PPM usually.
It has literally almost nothing in It as it only takes a drop to get it down into proper range.
Any fertilizer will pull it back down too, but silica which is already pretty high in the PH really pushes things to the alkaline side, but again it doesn’t take much to drop it back down.

Man it's been awhile now, but with summer rolling around, ahh


Starting to flatten out, had the lights too close.

It's been humid lately so now it's not as fkin dry.

 

[Observationist]

That was last nights post.



Getting dialed in here as they have been drooping away from the light.

 

[Observationist]

Environment and root zone/vpd parameters have been fucked off, finally getting it in control, the pH was the biggest factor and the ENV params for speedy growth.

 

[Zen_Seeker]

Got a lot of yellow on the bottom left. Trying something or just not dialed yet?

Have a great day man.

Just not having correct ph for them to uptake nutrients properly.

But few nights ago I got some more phosphoric acid
