**2nd Grow** SpiderFarmer SF4000 , NFTG #4 -Sour Power-Hella Jelly-Strawberry Cheesecake- 3x3 Tent

[Shaded_One]

Okay sorry, I get that now, I saw a comparison and could quite grasp the difficulty Dothraki is having. I add the dolomite to combat the ph up I use......its a cheap fix at about $5 - 50lb bag

You realize you're chasing your own tail with this right PC? lol

Promix BX(and I'm sure HP) has Dolomite and Calilitic lime already added to the medium

Hey guys! I’m back!
Thanks to everyone on this forum (you all know who you are) I’ve been smoking on some potent buds the past few months. This time it’s going to be in soil with NFTG and….the new addition to my grow space..

Got 2 seeds out of 6 popped and in soil. Hoping to flower 4 plants in the 3x3.

-Grow Details-

3x3 Tent with 6” exhaust fan & carbon filter

Light: Spider-Farmer SF4000
Medium: NFTG #4 Soil
Nutrients: NFTG Sample Kit Regiment
Water: Tap water @ .5 EC / 8.2 PH (ouch!)
SEEDS:
Humboldt Seed Co. Feminized- 2 Hella Jelly, 2 Strawberry Cheesecake.
Bag Seed- 2 Sour Power seeds found in some dank delicious buds.

Starting in #4 soil in solo cups, watering with Tap + Herculean Harvest @ 6.3PH
Will transplant to 3 Gallon fabric pots when ready.

Light is starting at 40% power, 45” above dirt. Will adjust as needed.

Last grow my 1 Sour Power seed popped, became the healthiest and biggest plant…but then decided to grow some balls. Let’s hope I get a lady this time.

This will be my First time topping too. Gotta keep them small to fit at least 4 in the 3x3 during flower.

Please join me for the ride! It’s gonna get rocky…and I’ll need some cannassistance along the way.

looking good. question. i noticed on your ac infinity exhaust fan, you don't have the cover over the carbon filter. is that by choice? i have same one and the video i saw on how to set it up had the cover over it. thanks. mine works fine for past 3 months.

Yeah I pretty much ruined the cover in the last grow by dumping tap water into my humidifiers lol. I was like “welp, how bad can it be?” and the answer was….white chalky residue on everything and clogging up my filter cover haha. But honestly I think the filter would be better used to filter air coming INTO the tent rather that out, even if you have to hide the smell…nobody’s growing skunk anymore everything smells like cakes and cookies and candy now lol.

Slowly but surely…

ok i was hoping i was using it correctly. yeah i hear ya on the new smells.

 

[Dothraki]

I feel like they are growing at a normal rate now, after getting temps up and not using Herc to lower the PH. Have only fed liquids once so far. Since I got One Shot and EWC might wait until transplant to feed..which will probably be about a week I’m guessing.

Here they are today..

 

[Dothraki]

So it’s been about 3 weeks… definitely slower than my coco grow, I wonder what the roots look like, I’ll check maybe this weekend or wait until I transplant.

But they are looking like some troopers. Whatever they didn’t like in the 2nd week didn’t kill them, so I’m hoping it made them more resilient lol.

Only The Strong Survive

^^ That’s my grow philosophy

 

[dreamnfox]

Growth is slow but happening, i might transplant them sooner then later. if they dont have many roots then dust them with some mykos, doest have to be that brand. them replant in solo cups again. No more herc on those things

 

[dreamnfox]

These 2 are 17 days old

Yeah maybe that contributed…I’ll have to let Scott (nftg dude) know. Would you still use Herc in the feeding regimen once I transplant? Or should I wait to feed after transplant anyway, due to the nutes in the soil?

These 2 are 17 days old

yeah, that’s what I would like to see lol. Those look nice. Next grow I’ll have a better idea of the soil and nutes too, if nftg turns out good I’ll probably keep using it. I think the sample kit will be enough for a few grows, I think.

 

[dreamnfox]

I would swap out the old soil for some fresh nectar 4, no nutes, just put thr one shot and ewc on top. The water only. They should bounce back quicker that way. Make sure the are only getting 10-12k lux of light to. Too much light will slow there growth

 

[dreamnfox]

Plants in veg need very little herc. Its only about 5ml when they hit mid flower.

 

[growsince79]

How many holes in those cup? You might try square nursery pots.

I just checked and (according to the Photone app) they are getting around 10,000 lux. I plan to transplant this weekend. I’d like to get the cups leveled off with a little extra soil and a watering first, so I don’t damage anything. I’ll try to snap a pic of the roots if I feel dangerous lol.

About 6-8 holes the size of my pinky (I have skinny guitar fingers haha).

haha nothing wrong with having guitar fingers.

 

[Dothraki]

Topped off the cups with soil and watered it in with BTI or whatever that anti-fungus gnat stuff is, with a spray bottle. I plan to transplant soon.

 

[Dothraki]

haha nothing wrong with having guitar fingers.

I’m comfortable and confident with the circumference…but an extra inch per finger would be nice. All 11 of them.
