Yeah i was thinking putting a cfl light in there lower down. As this is only my second grow i dont really want to start cropping and chopping leaves at this stage and i end up killing them.
Thanks so much W Dragon this is what i wanted to here. seeing as your a soil grower aswell,what soil are you using as i dont like the plagron batmix that i am using now as i cant judge when to add nutes etc?
ok, i gave them some PK13/14 a couple of days ago with my bloom nutes and was told to only do this for 1 week with the pk13/14?
No worries love, I use plagron light mix and bio-bizz all mix 50L bags of soil about £10-£12 a bag, I also use bio-bizz nutes £10 grow,£10 bloom and £20 micro a litre and they're idiot proof, just have to adjust the ph a little, most strains out there will do fine with the nutes mentioned but some will need a little cal/mag supplementation, this may depend on your local water, I never needed to use it before the last 6-12months and that maybe due to my local water
my water ph has to be adjustedas normally 7-8 ph.
I don't use it, I've experimented with boosters and additives and have mixed feelings about them. If I were to be using it I would start at a quarter strength and slowly work my way up and see how things go, if your plants look healthy and keep producing, just keep doing what your doing with minor adjustments that you feel comfortable with, minor adjustments are easy to rectify should you do something that your plants dont like so much
ok so with this grow shall i keep using the PK13/14 and the bloom? or the bloom and the grow together?
Could be a little lower, I run my between 6-7 and vary it with every water for example if I water at 6.2 the next watering would be 6.4-6.5 then 6.6-6.8 and then back down adjusting a couple of points at a time, the reason I do this is because different nutes are better available at different ph ranges, I haven't run a side by side to see if minor adjustments up and down all the way through make any real difference but it's how I started and have continued on since then and it has done me well so far
Sorry love I can't really answer that for you as I haven't used it myself personally, If you want to keep using it I would say crack on for the recommended amount of time and then go back to what you were doing before with the exception of adding a little N (grow nute), If your adding small amounts of nutes you could possibly add a little grow now and cut back on the others slightly so as to avoid over feeding (burn) but it's hard to judge over the net not knowing how they been fed up until now and not knowing how nute sensitive the strain is your growing, Unfortunately these decisions are the ones you need to make based on how your plants are doing and learning to tell if your plants are healthy and what they can and can't take is part of the process, the only thing I would suggest when adding anything your not sure of is to think is it needed? and if so what will it actually do? and always start off under the recommended dose at maybe a quarter to half strength and work your way up slowly and watch carefully for any changes
Thanks for letting me have some of your knowledge and i might have to ask some more questions in the future if you dont mind?
