Day 15

Still got those brown spots taking over the lower leaves. Will add calmag to every watering from now on.
But they still on track.
Got some leaves curling but I do believe it’s because of to much fan

what medium are you using?
twisty leaves could be from watering, the light, gnats..

 

[knidik]

Biobizz light mix soil
Lights are 32 inches away at 55% (450ppfd)
I water when pots are really light. Haven’t fed them yet. No sign of pests… I’ll look closely at the soils today.

 

[GNick55]

i’d like to see your grow space as in how the plants/equipment are situated.. your temps humidity seem fine..
soft water and led lights, than yes calcium could be needed, but im not sure that’s your issue..
im going with your watering habits are slightly off, especially letting it sit in water for 30 min? no no..

 

[knidik]

Yes I let them sit in it so the soil can fully absorb what’s needed… I’ll stop that and see how things go from there.
Thanks :)

Day 16

All going good. Lowered the lights a bit to get ppfd to 400. That might’ve been the cause or at least participated in the browning… I think getting it to 450-480 so soon was a bit premature (even though they didn’t seem to mind it, I think that’s due to co2 levels being around 1000-1500). Especially knowing I didn’t start feeding yet.

good move with the light..
i think you’ll be fine from here, just think you were trying to be perfect, just be careful watering, no soaking and let them go basically dry before watering again..

 

[knidik]

Thanks. Yes I’ll definitely water less (couple drops runoff) and won’t let them sit in it :)

Day 17

All
Going good !
Hope they keep it up

Day 18 -16 from sprout

All clear. Hope they keep it up!
Haven’t watered them since transplant last Sunday for some of them except one who’s pot was really light and leaves starting to droop.

 

[knidik]

Day 19
Going to have to up pot again this week. Will put them in 3 gal pots and up pot again 10 days later to 6 gal final pots 2 weeks before starting to flower.

 

[knidik]

Started to lst 1 of each strain. Will be scroging the rest when they get to their final pot.

Are you sure it's the quest 155? The "quest 70" isnt 70L its like 30... I use the 155's (2 per room with four tables (4 x 8's) with a 3 ton AC. I can't imagine that you need two for a one bench 3 light room? Why do you have 8 fans in a 1 bench room ?

 

[knidik]

It’s the Quest 70 yes sorry.
I turned off 3 of the fans due to too much air circulation. I actually had 9 because I really wanted good air circulation.
I live in a area where mean annual humidity is 80% so I didn’t want to get tricked.
This is my first time designing such a « big » room, I didn’t want to regret it by not having enough stuff.
Also having 2 in case one fails is imo a smart move if you can afford it. Like engines on liners. You can fly with one but they all have 2.

 

[knidik]

It’s actually 70 pints which makes it like you said about 30L :)

Too much wind slows down photosynthesis because the plants have to spend more energy on making thicker stems to keep themselves upright instead of making big flowers, more isn't always better brother. A good quality silica supplement used as a foliar spray once a week will get you thicker stems without having to grow the plants in a wind tunnel, just don't apply after the first 2 weeks in flower. You have some nice equipment to play with there, definitely makes things easier with a proper setup like that.

 

[knidik]

More is defo not better. What I have here is definitely nice but you have to learn to use it. It’s like riding in a Toyota Yaris for 20 years then buying a lambo. You gotta learn to ride it cause it’s damn powerful and you can easily mess it up!

Why did you decide on going with soil? Wouldn't it have been easier to run higher plant counts in coir especially when using bottle nutrients and smaller pots anyway?

 

[knidik]

Like I said, first grow this size and for various reasons I can’t go wrong with it. Only have soil experience so I decided to go with what I know I can get right even if it’s more work. Plant count doesn’t matter that’s why I’m not cramming it.

Day 20

You can guess which ones were fed.
Transplanting tomorrow the ones fed today into 3 gal pots, and that might m’be their final ones. So I’ll probably get the net set up this week.

Are you planning on taking cuttings from these plants?
