Septoria, deficiency, neither, I don’t know?

I don’t know about the bottom watering. I just did a little bit. I just figured in case my initial watering didn’t hit all points at the bottom of the pot that the bottom watering may have helped moisten the bottom layer more consistently.

When I was preparing the water for the transplanting, I ran out of RO water in my pressure tank and forgot about the fact that the newly made RO water that I used on the last pot would come in at a different pH that the water that had been sitting in the tank. I used the same amount of buffer and it was probably a little too much.

They just look a little shocky I wouldn’t hesitate to give them a half dose of calmag on your next feed I don’t think it would hurt. How’s the root temperatures might be a bit cooler than in the smaller pots I’m just throwing stuff out there buddy for my own Stoney brain lol
 
#124
Yeah that’s true as well. I think the soil is noticeably cooler to the touch when I feel for moisture now that you mention it.

With my RO I use some calmag with every watering. Might up it a bit.

I find that once you start to give them it they become cal mag junkies I only use it on my seedlings if they show signs of needing it but I have both in my nutes. I only use it at 1/4 to 1/3 strength On my seedlings then once I start to feed nutes I don’t add it anymore. 23 plants outside this summer and none of them needed any additional doses
 
#126
Interesting, they get spoiled huh!? The strain is said to be very calmag hungry. Could be untrue maybe but I figured I’d use it out of caution considering that fact.

Could anyone share some insight into reading an EC meter? When I dip the two probes into the water, I get a certain value but if I submerge the meters so that there is zero air space surrounding them, the reading is much higher. Doubles honestly which leaves me totally confused. Are you supposed to have the probes just kiss the water or are you supposed to totally submerge them?

What is this a symptom of if anyone knows (and I’ll bet y’all do ;))?

Not losing my mind over it, just looking to learn.

It’s not “curling” down. Just has a ridge at the top that causes some downward facing. You can pop it into the upwards position from the creased pivot point.

Don’t want to jinx myself, but not too shabby for 35 days since germination for a first timer!? Many thanks for everyone’s support so far!!

You know it’s funny, I’ve been worried about vertical space but with training the mains down to bring up some other tops, now I’m more worried about a horizontal space crisis!

I could use a screen or two but I’d rather not on my first run. Are branch fan leaves being pushed against the tent walls a pretty bad thing? I guess the concern would be powdery mildew or bud rot. I do have lots of airflow and should be able to keep humidity at 45 or under during flower, if that makes up for the potential issue..

This is my first grow actually, so to be honest I’m totally ignorant with respect to how to help things as opposed to hurt them! I have read a good bit about the calmag controversy. I’m open to discontinuing it. My thought has been to just add a little so that my RO water has something to stabilize the pH enough to act as a buffer before adding a few drops of pH down per gallon in my context. The boron phosphorous deficiency to mention, is that in relation to that lower dying leaf, the fan leaf with the little dark spots or the developing fan leaf with the roundish yellow spot? Or all the above?

Okay I’m at 5 and a half weeks. Plant health seems to be excellent. They are all still super short, 6” from the top of the pot. It took 6-7 days after tying them down to create a bunch of interior tops that are pretty close to even in height with the 6 mains. Hoping to double the height from 6” to 12” before the flip. I’d say the overall plant mass has more than doubled in the last week. Hopefully now that I’m not going to keep tying them down they will double in height in 7 to 10 days or so?

My original plan was to roll with just the 6 tops and in retrospect I wish I had kept it that way. I assume I’ve probably increased my yield potential by doubling the tops but I’m starting to get nervous about managing all of them!

Think I can get away with not using screens or are they going to be the only thing to save me from a horizontal space crisis?

Super cropping and stakes. Or a trellis. If certain stalks get unwieldy, I super crop them out of the way……..

Well, I may have accidentally helped to tame the biggest plant today. Snapped a main. I taped it but I’m thinking I might just cut it off and consider this one branch topped.

I take a straw. Split it length ways, snap that around the break site. That should splint it and allow for healing. Keep it unless it’s a clear snap.
