Jumping Right In! Brand New Set Up

[Goodthingsgrow]

I see growth in these ladies everyday!
Looking pert tonight!

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

Looking thirsty.
Yep, the bigger ones feel light.
Time for a recharge.

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

This calls for some tunes, some Pineapple Express distillate and some time alone in the garden.
Love it!

This basement is getting colder.
Using this old oven rack to lift the water bottles off of the floor. It’s carpet under the shower liner; but that is directly on the concrete and still gets cold. I wrapped sill plate insulation around it an I’m using a heat mat connected to a thermostat. It brought the water temp from 15*C (59F) to 19-20C (68F) in time for watering. It seems to be holding now at 22C (72F).

On tonight’s menu a dose of nutes and a side of ph down.

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

This is the ppm of the spring water I use. Didn’t realize it was so high to start. I will be switching to either RO or distilled very soon.

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

This is 2L or about 2 quarts of Micro, Grow and Bloom mixed as directed with the 230ppm water.

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

I then took that 2L jug and halved it into another. Then mixed another 1L of the starting water into each jug. The mix is a little light but, with hopefully cloning soon, I should be keeping the numbers down anyway.

Why does it smell like ammonia in here?

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

The new dehumidifier for the flower tent arrived today!
it’s bigger than I thought.
Going to be a challenge fitting it into the space.

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

Can never have too much isopropyl!

Oh shit!
And the Potassium Bicarbonate...!
Time to shut it down

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

Doh!
They look hangry!

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

Keeping it simple tonight.

The junior Bruce Banner is looking good.
Coming along nicely.

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

Something like that.
Will have to perfect it.
I hope the wheels come off. It rolls too easily.

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

Hey all.
Any idea why her tops are leaning?
This mornings readings were 79F & 60%.
I watered yesterday when the pots were light so I know it’s not over watering.
At a max lux of 22k, I don’t think it’s that.
She’s got me worried.
Any thoughts?

 

[Goodthingsgrow]

After researching other threads, I think I might be under watering. I may be letting the pots get too light.
I have also given them the Diablo Black which helps with water and nutrient uptake.
Once the lights come back on I will water again and see.

I notice you mentioned ammonia smell in your tent... what's your medium?

Certain forms of soil bacteria/root rot can smell like that fwiw and the droopy tops might be a warning sign
