Two Godzilla Cookies (Herbies Seeds)

[1way]

I started two godzilla cookies (auto) Sunday so they are a couple days old now. I'm going to start them off inside the 4×2 vivosun grow kit 200w light temp 78 hum 67 - 70 vpd 0.9 - 1.0 light is set to seedling at 40% now here where thing get tricky for me what is a proper distance form top of canopy to light ? Right now I have it at 15 inches all looks well to me
While growing I always like to put together a plan ahead of time so I don't know if to use synthetic nutes or organic I really want to try synthetic ff trio ff cal-mag tps silica athena blended gh flora series gh kool bloom if any one has any experience with any of these nute lines can you please give me some help along the way

I can’t speak much on nutrient lines(I usually go organic-amendments, teas, etc), but from what I’ve learned using FF trio this last round is regardless of what line you intend on feeding them, there should be a feeding chart and it would be wise to try to follow it. I had deficiency issues because I was switching from one to the other whereas they should have been being fed in unison. Missing a part of the feed is just as bad as not feeding once the balance is all off and you start having issues. That being said most liquid ferts are pretty strong so what I’ve learned along the way is to start on the lower end(half or quarter strength) and adjust up depending on the plants response and how much feed they’re actually utilizing. Which brings up the next important thing, make sure you have a meter to accurately measure runoff so you can actually tell what your plant is eating so you don’t overdo it and cause salt buildup. Making sure to water to the point of runoff is also an important practice in preventing the salt buildup in general. I went without a meter and without following the schedule for my ferts and ended up having to flush mid flower and readjust the nute solution which wasn’t ideal or fun lol learn from my mistakes and make sure you’re checking/adjusting your ph to appropriate levels for soil. Even if you have the feed dialed in exactly it won’t do you any good if the ph is out of whack and causing lockout/deficiency anyway.

Also forgot to mention if you’re referring to this current grow don’t forget that organic means it’s going to take time to breakdown for the plants to utilize it while the synthetic is going to be immediately available. For organic you ideally want to have a good soil mix to begin with and amend throughout the grow depending on what stage the plant is in. Not to say you can’t still go organic for this grow just remember that if you do see a deficiency it’s going to take longer to correct versus if you’re using synthetic. Also, if using RO water or anything that doesn’t have calcium etc already in it, make sure you’re using calmag pretty much every watering or else you’re gonna have a bad time haha

Good stuff

Watering a small plant in a large container is doable but challenging

I’ve been using the FF trio, cal mag . Looking forward to your grow
