[Siz]

Yes that what i would do every thing same just a bigger pot

You think I should do that with these or are they too small? We have about a Month until the days get shorter

Just when you transplant yours do them all and the ones to go out side into the bigger pots

Yeah im thinking 7 gals for the outsiders.

Ideally I would want to put up a little green house tent but I am already late for that and not worth it for 3 small plants.

Im hoping to get my growing down enough by next year to have a decent little greenhouse setup ideally all organic fertilizers. But I know it takes a lot of time, trial and error to get there hahaha

Yes thats it trail and error and findinf out what works best for yourself, i wish i could grow outdoors but no good the uk weather for it, you are lucky to have dispensarys i wish it was legal over here

Anyway, to help with your issue. I would start feeding 1.0 EC once a day. Even if they are moist. It will probably take a week or so for them to really take off. But they will get going. If you were in soil I would say wait until they are about half dry. But that is counter productive in coco.

I personally avoid MotherEarth coco simply because coco can create pH fluctuations. I have used MotherEarth Groundswell High Performance with great results however transplanting freshly rooted clones into straight MotherEarth Groundswell High Performance soil will burn the clones. I have had good success using MotherEarth Groundswell High Performance soil with clones when soil mix is cut 50/50 with a base organic soil mix and added perlite

Yeah I think they all just need to be buffered with cal-mag. I just buffered 9, 3 gal pots with canncontrol cal mag and sensizym. Going to transplant tomorrow

Transplanted into 3 gals and took 3 out. 2 may have TMV. I just had to take 3 out anyway but sadly these had the thickest stems. They will go to 7 gal pots outside. The runt I will leave alone as I dont see it growing much more outside

Where does your water drain to

Where does your water drain to

The tray. I vaccum it out after about an hour. I let the run off come out and I use a shop vac. I had a drain hose setup but it raised my plants a little too high so I lowered them for space. I dont mind the extra work for now… Looking for a better system for next run.

 

[fbsv420]

Looking much healthier and green the plants aswell, are you going to be using a net or canes in individual pots, thats what i do the canes, yeah i have mine raised about 5-6 inch and set up drain in a condensate pump

I have some bamboo sticks and a trellis i think I am only going to use trellis. I stretch them by hand and let them grow with their own strength as long as I can before they get too bushy. I think this will help them support big buds.

Also been seeing people using nothing at all but silica and they have some nice branches that support heavy nugs.

I think I will wait a week or so then ill spread them out with the trellis net.

I fed with the spray bottle today. Much better soaking of the coco and not running right off, just takes 10x longer hahaha

I transplanted these 2 and had them outside since last night they look so happy. Just prayinggg to the sun! Hahaha!

I use silica also but have read sumwhere a while ago that supporting the branches and the plant can work on the buds rather then the stem to hold its self up! Since reading that i have always used the canes on each top branch afte there topped

Looking nice! I wanna see how they grow then add a trellis if they grow enough

It will still be nice to have the trellis so u can fill that canopy right out as they stretch in flower

Yeh man, you can remove all that dead stuff.

Just to reinforce everyone else here....

LED lights use IR diodes... and little plants just can't handle that much Infared at such a young age.

It's ok to let the babies stretch a little in the beginning stages. SO keep that light as far to the top of the tent as possible and dial it down as far as possible.

You want to let the plants "grow into the light" as you turn the light strength up and lower the light.

By the time flowering comes around you'll be a foot off the top of the plants and 100% power on the light.

Weeks 1-3 of veg 25%, weeks 4 of veg to weeks 2 of flower 50%, weeks 3 of flower to week 6 of flower 75% after week 6 100%. Keep lights at the top of your tent Never raise or lower them. only use the dial. Never turn lights up on sick unhealthy plants. Of course if your lights dnt have a dial then u have to adapt. Happy growing everyone.

Thanks! I just got an apogee ppfd meter and I was way under what I need to be. Under 300 ppfd. I just put them up to 70% and im at 310 in the middle just under around.

I was using a lux meter and converting x.0185 but the conversion was off. Now that I checked with the ppfd meter the conversion for Gavita 1700e LED is lux multipled by 0.0160 should get you in the ballpark.

I would need 2, would love to switxh over or to led

Im using the Gavita Pro 1700e. Quite a few people I know use them. It is a couple years old, there are better ones out there. But you can find great deals on them.


I have also heard LUX and HLG are good
