First grow - Mephisto Sour Crack and Toof Decay

[ReeferSpin]

Thanks josh, bulls and Jason, I won't worry too much

Josh, just water, don't know ph or ec, used biotabs starter kit, nothing else. Lights out temp about 20-22. Lights on 24-27. Rh is about 50 at the canopy. 60 at the pot.

Thanks for stopping by

I love rhubarb

Happy Sunday GR420!

About time for another update

Was reading the autopot / biotabs manual online and it said to occasionally cut the water for 24 hours, so I did that last night, they drank what they had left if their tray within a couple of hours. Summat to do with more oxygen to the roots, worth a try.

Also read to give bactrex, 1g per litre to plants that need a hand or just to be nice to them. Gave that to the SC before changing the res and did the same and also gave 5ml of orgatrex with the 1g of bactrex. Orgatrex is 5-1-5 NPK with other organic stuff - alfalfa meal, mixed molasses, kali vinasse, silicon oxide and rock dust as a basis for available micronutrients. Bactrex is bacillus, trichoderma and actinomycetes, for those that want to know!

Tune:



Sour Crack 62 days since broke soil, still looking frosty af and overfed but not dead, so does me :D









Mutant Toof Decay 48 days since broke soil









Thanks for reading, fingers crossed its all going to plan

What's up GR420, happy Saturday!

Things getting interesting in the tent.

Sour Crack 68 days above soil, looking beaten up. Few burnt tips and she twisted leaves all over, I can see a few amber trichs on the top cola, nowhere else that I can see. Pot was feeling damp half way up, so my theory is I stunted her early on, she hasn't filled the pot properly, and the pot is staying too wet as a result.

Got some extra autopot bits and put a tap on between her and the res and turned her water off on Tuesday. Soil still moist but pot isn't. Will water by hand when she's drier. Do I water til I get a bit off run off?

Really interesting how they differ on the same plant, like how the back left cola has some mottling on the leaves.

Toof Decay 68 days above soil

This lady is different all over, some darker, some yellowing / lightening of the lower leaves, and some dotted around. I think the bactrex in the feed encourages the plant to feed, trichoderma does that right? So she looks hungry to me, bulls suggested in chat she looked hungry and I might need bloom feed and/or a calmag foliar feed. I thought I'd get the proper pics up, to double check everything. I did buy some biobizz bloom nutes which is 2-7-4 npk, I have orgatrex which is 5-1-5 npk. These are the only feeds I have other than the tabs. I can go get some more if required and whatever else, grow shop 20 mins away.

Yellowing



Colour different even on the same leave






Thanks for looking any help gratefully recieved! I know I've picked an odd way to do this, bottom watering and slow release nutes! We love a challenge right

Another thought I had, was the last fill of the res I used the hosepipe which created a lot of pressure and lots of bubbles in the water. I remember reading that this can change the pH? Or is that only if you constantly run aeration? Dunno.

Cheers

Quick update, i've hand watered (2l) the sour crack, and will continue to do so.

Also turned the water off the toof decay, and fed orgatrex 1ml per litre, and 1ml of BioBizz Bloom per litre. (2l in total). Will be hand watering from now on on this too.

then my light went off from my shit soldering, lol - gaffer taped up this morning and will try and fix again tonight!

Thanks kbag, gmo and bulls for keeping me right in chat!

cheers
