Omg thanks for the great advice! Today I'll raise the light, lower the pH some more and worry a bit less about overwatering lol. Oh and no worries on the CO2, I haven't added it was just curious. I'm gonna have to get another cool most humidifier today to increase humidity too.The drooping might be caused by the light being to close, if possible raise it up. you should see the leaves start to reach up.
Do not add liquid CO2 to your water!!! DO NOT !!!! CO2 is for the leaves to absorb, and only during lights on. roots need oxygen.
Since you are using smart pots (cloth) your water will dry out more, this is ok...better than not drying out. you can check your pots by lifting them,
when mostly dry they will be lite... after watering they will be heavy.
And you have seedlings, so you don't want to water, as to get a run off. your roots have not spread out far enough to absorb all the water. that is why your tester is reading that way. it will be moist towards bottom..no roots there.
Your ph should be 6.2-6.5
In veg it is best to have a higher humidity than 30-40% if possible raise it some. around 60-70.
I wouldn't turn the soil any, after your seedling has grown some, you will get the really small capillary roots that spread out just below the surface.
if its drying out to quickly, its because of low humidity, strong light, and cloth pot. you can put on a top layer of mulch, that will help maintain surface moisture.
And the 400 watt light is more than enough for your tent size.
I dunno but I was reading Jorge Cervantes grow bible and here is what it said:Yeah man I use hi-brix from earth juice and was gonna try black strap this current grow. Does it really sweeten things up? Not that I really noticed but the hi-brix is expensive so gonna try the blackstrap.
No idea yet lol, perhaps I'll research that as well but can't imagine going wrong with something organic. Just wondering how much to use. Further investigation into this topic will be had lol.Dude point well made! What kind are you gonna use?
Okay, so I've figured out a way to lower the plants and lift the lights and now they are 3 ft. above the plants which seems to be already helping cause there's no more droop to the leaves they are pointing up. I did switch to the 18/6 regimen last night, first night - I figured fuck I need a break they need a break we all need a fucking break sometimes lol.the splotches could be from over watering, and def change to 18/6 light regiment. your babies need some down time.
As cannapits said, the molasses is used in teas to feed the microbes in a living soil. some add at end of flowering, but I don't think that's a good idea.
Molasses has magnesium in it and you don't want that left in your plant. you don't want anything in your soil on final flush.
Keep it simple and just do the minimum until you get a few harvest under your belt, then adjust as you learn.
I'm slowly lowering the light back down again especially now that I officislly solved my humidity problem. Got some good pH test kits and pH is perfect so far. Had to be overwatering I suppose. I will say this - the OG is looking amazing and although planted after the white widow has clearly surpassed it bc I think, for whatever reason - the WW growth has been slowed or stunted.Just my opinion, 2 to 3 feet above your plants will increase stretching especially using an hps for veg. I use 600 watt mh for veg and keep it no higher then 18" above my canopy. I always use the back of hand test and sometimes the light is with in 12".
This keeps my plants short and stout. Then even when I flip I use mh for the 1st 2 weeks of flower then I switch to hps .
I think 3'-0" is pretty high. I think your issue is definitely associated with over watering
And pH monitoring is a must for a successful grow. With out proper pH levels in soil or hydro, your just throwing your $$$$ away on nutes.
Just my opinion.
Nice selection on plants! Never grew an og but my buddy just sent over a few beans for me so for my next grow.
Good luck
Fabric pots are okay. On the other hand, it's not like I have anything to compare it to. I've grown flowers in regular pots before but not cannabis so I can't really say which one I like better. I thought the fabric pots would be good because of the breathability. I guess I'm getting used to the "feel" of when the plants are dry or watered enough. Trial and error taught me that lol.How are you liking the fabric pots??? I am using them too. My first time using them and my plants seem to love them!!! I am using smart pots with handles and they do come in good use!
