Update - one of the two kicked it. But the other one... Heart of a fucking champion.
Question - I used a loupe and the trichomes appear clear but the pistils are all red. See picture. Harvest time?
Yes I've swtiched to tap left overnight with a freshwater aquarium stone in it.
I'm using 2 part pro-mix bx and 1 part pearlite.
For a flush how much water do you use? And when do you add the nutes post flush?
I'm using Megacrop right now. I was adding to the PPM equivalents of the...
So I'm trying to right this ship (by doing less). I corrected the ph by switching to tap water, gave it a good flush until run off was clear. Let them dry out then watered again yesterday. The leaf situation is just not getting better although growth has gotten somewhat better since oh...
Thanks! So these issues started before I added any nutes which is why I added them. I think I was 2-3 weeks in before I added them - the plants have been super slow. But I have likely overcompensated now.
I guess my ultimate question is: what can I do to save these? Should I water with just...
I went to 18/6, raised the ph by switching to declorinated tap water, and added a bit of epsom on the last water. I've let the medium dry out since. These guys are still in rough shape and it seems to be progressing. Are these guys doomed? I feel like I'm 50/50 whether I'm doing too much or too...
Thanks will try changing photperiod.
For autoflowers I read that after germ you should go right to final pot. Do you still recommend the solo cup route with the added info it's an auto, or no?
Appreciate your help!!!!
Thanks for the replies.
First change I made is to tap versus distilled to try and raise the pH. I had planned to do that anyway. I initially did distilled to limit variables but it appears all I did was introduce more of them.
One thing I did not mention is these are autos. Not sure that...
I just recalibrated my pH meter and my runoff is actually more like 6.1.
I have some calcium carbonate lying around. I'll research how to apply it.
My tap water pH is naturally higher - wonder if I should switch to tap water (air stone for a few days to bubble off the chlorine) and pH down...
Using 2 parts Pro-mix BX to 1 part pearlite in 7 gallon smart pots - on week 4ish - it's my first grow and I have not kept proper notes.
In a 4x4 tent in my basement. 72-77 temp and 50% humidity. I have an oscillating tower fan in the corner and an AC infinity 8" fan and carbon filter.
I have...
