i have been growing seeds non stop for three years now, pain in the ass cloning is the way to go for quicker turn around.
Nice Coconutz mate, looking forward to seeing them grow out. I love starting from seed, it's much more fulfilling to me as a gardener to do that rather than cuttings.
Just wanted to query my feed EC at the moment. I'm currently mid week 3 of 12/12 and everythings going sweet. Just got rid of the fungus gnats with the neem so well chuffed. Anyhow, I've been giving them feeds of 1.4 up to 1.8, with an average of about 1.6. Run off is around 1.2, plants look 100%, no signs of deficiencies/toxicity etc. Based on this, I don't feel like I should be changing my setup. If I'm feeding them 1.6-1.8 EC daily, and getting 1.2 run off, that just means they're chomping the food and keep at it yeah?
I don't want to push 'em too hard too soon, they look too happy
@ stoned40yrs, my tap water is near enough 0EC. 6/9 at full rate gives me about 1.6EC. I add Si, Mg and humic acid, which moves it a point up. Then I dilute this down to what I want. Generally I'm diluting at least to a 75%, closer to 1.2-1.4EC
@ coconutz, I'm not concerned about their shade of green at the moment, they look exactly as they should, but will drop the EC a little over the coming week back to the range I was keeping it at.
I guess my query was on what the general rule of thumb is for to interpret the difference of EC in to EC out. Given it was running consistently at 1.0-1.2 for the past week, I figure that the plants are pretty happy - or have been. I guess I'm just preempting my next move if any
What are your plans for dropping micro and increasing bloom. What weeks?
Im sure it was the Larry#3.
Fuck swirl!
Everything else in my room is doing good.
Finally got a few things done in my work area to make things simple.
Its been a breeze!
Sm90, Aza and Spinosad are cool, but you might want to pick up something like Triple Action Neem, or something else to get a solid rotation going.
You want to alternate pesticides to have a solid IPM system.
Hot damn if I gotta battle all the little sumbitches that inhabit the microscopic world I'll surrender and quit growing, I'm part French anyway
