The babies. Just looking for advice.

[Maddison]

Hi guys.

These are my three autoflower babies, I have them under a light at 25% I'm water spraying a little.. daily for moisture I give them a drink when I think needed prob every other day I gave them some nutrients 2 days ago (grow max) like 2 cap fulls in a litre of water and shared it between them.
I have a fan on them my heating is always on at home as it's freezing outside.
Only thing I haven't got yet is s carbon filter. These are about 2 weeks old.
One of them tends to be a little droopy but I think I shocked it when potting.
So what do you think of what iv told you and how they look??
Thanks in advance

coco or soil ?

Coco perlite

dont waste your money on a carbon filter , you dont need one , even if you get 3-4 plants to flower stage there is a good chance there will be no smell coming off them, .
don't give it anymore water , i think 2 capfulls of nutrients in 1 litre of water is way too much , especially at this stage. i use 1ml per litre. and i just mist the plant with water and a couple of drops of root juice,
its also worth checking the soil temperature, because if it goes below 18 oC it will slow right up and under 15 oC it will stop altogether.

Do you know the ec of your feed

Im looking after my neighbours autos
About 1.5 weeks old

I fed them about 1L every 2/3 days at 0.5 ec for the first week
Now I’m giving them 2L every 2/3 days at 0.9/1.0 ec

I’ll be into giving them 2L a day come Saturday (week3) at about 1.2/1.4 ec

Then You using the atlis 200w lumiteck?

I use tht light I have mine on 100% about the distance you’ve got yours at

Thank-you well that will save me some money I was thinking more to re fresh the oxygen in there or is that another device? Or would I not need to do that? When the lights on I could leave a flap open a little??
Yes I did think the soil wasn't really drying out thanks for that I'll refrain from watering for a few days.
How would I measure the soil? I have a baby thermometer for my little boy could I use that?
If it was low should I put a small heater in there.
Also should I turn the fan off??
Thank-you

Wow really even that young? Should I ramp it up then? There's another picture iv posted here for more detail
Well the bottle said 2ml to a 1000ml and its a small bottle ill post picture also below so I guessed 2 caps and shared it out between 3 plants I also have some left in bottle I didn't use it all I'm a complete beginner I find the nutrients a little confusing

Get a carbon filter and fan it will stink up the place in flower plus it draws fresh air from the bottom through your plants and takes the hot humid air out. You have a nice clean grow space and a nice light u are half way to a good grow next is nutrients Less is always better than more

wut ... carbon filter is a must to keep smell under control .... i had small flowering plant in small cup stinking the whole appartement ...

also when growing in coco you usually need to monitor feeding solution and run off ph and ec. (to prevent salt built up and ph lockout wich are more likely to happen in hydro like coco.)

if you feed at random in coco without monitoring pH and EC you will most likely run into some issues.

more info about grow max composition will also help.

EDIT:
Works with soil, coco, or in hydroponics. Universal profile.

GROW MAX

NPK
10-5-14

Nitrogen 10.0%
Ammoniacal 3.4%
Nitrate 6.6%
Phosphorous 5%
Potassium 14%
Magnesium 3.3%
Sulphur 19.2%
Iron 0.24%
Copper 0.006%
Manganese 0.1%
Boron 0.026%
Zinc 0.034%
Molybdenum 0.004%

doesn't have any calcium your prolly gonna need some in coco.

Send a photo of the ingredients on the bottle, my lights come on in an hour and a half, I’ll send you photos of my set up airflow nd tht hopefully put your mind at ease

With feed there’s
Ec / TDS / ppm
All 3 of these are basically the same thing
If ec is 1.0
Tht is equal to 500 tds or 700ppm

Tht being said it then comes into npk
N- nitrogen
P- phosphorus
K - potassium

In veg u want morn (n) than pk
Normally your feed keeps this in mind
And u get your pk boost from your additive in flower

With coco

It’s hydrophobic

It dosnt retain moisture

It’s verry hard to overwater in coco
Your plants will drink as the nutes pass the roots they don’t sit in the nutes if tht makes sence

it’s the opposite to soil with soil u let dry back happen to force the roots to grow

In coco the roots chase the moisture and will air prune itself if gets to dry

to summarise always add feed when watering in coco

I’m terms of ramping them up more doesn’t mean better

If you’ve got a ec/ppm pen we can figure out where to go interms of strength from there

Could you explain the pen what is it?
There isn't any ingredients in the back but someone advised me to use this until flowering?
Iv sent a picture below of what I will use next though?

ph and ec pen (google)

this will allow you to monitor a few important paremeter in coco.

So it says there 5% nitrogen
Nd 5.8% magnesium

Honestly got everything you need there in tht bottle

It says 5ml per litre

Is this your main fees or just a seedling started something to get started

Trying to figure out if you should do the full 5ml to the L or maybe only do like 2.5ml to start

The pen thing is a ppm meter
Just measures how much food is in the water

Assuming your using tap water tht will probably be about 100 ppm

After adding your nutes for a plant tht size I’d say around 350 ppm max slowly working tht to around 500 about week 2
Then up to 700/850 week 3
Then 1000/1100 week 4

I use a blu lab ppm meter u can get there pens for around $40 I think
