First Grow Day 3

[DCobeen]

after you apply bloom 1 time you are good for 3 weeks. the main thing is molasses or calcium every feed. mag every 3rd. see you plant needs allot when you set your soil it should have everythig your nutes dont like micro minerals. ground rock dust is huge. i use lava rock whole which the water does break down a bit. the roots do go into the water part of my setup. the more oxygen you can supply to them the better they will do. my grow is really good and i screwed up and almost drowned my plants. till it figured it out and fixed it. we all learn our plants and how we do it. i say this if it works dont fix it. learn your way. my way is my way. ask when in doubt but know you can do it just dont over do it. Ill help and be around till our lake melts then im not gonna be on but maybe a few hrs a week.

Hey guys my soil is getting extremely dry in 2 days. Will this be a problem or an advantage. I don't want to end up drowning them. Still using CFL's and about 3 in away in a 16 oz solo cup.

okay if you have soil that doesnt hold much water you need to water when its 75% dry. you can water every other day jsut dont feed but 2 times a week till they get bigger then you can feed every time.

I would assume that it would take longer to be broken down in the soil.

 

[DCobeen]

yes that is why yo add it every week. no more no less. then your plant will have the cal +mag and carbs also so your plant will be more fruity tasting. everyone who grows in soil should be using molasses(black strap unsulfered) not the ones with 30-70% iron in them. unless its just for the first dose. then again 1 time before flower. you can have 2 kinds on hand. I have well water so i have allot of minerals in my water so i try and stay low when adding any minerals except my lava rocks on the bottom of all my pots. even if you dont use a system like mine i suggest mixing lava rock with soil on the bottom 25% of your pots.

I will be getting the molasses soon. What is your recommended first dose? Also, do I have to change my soil after she is bigger? I like the idea of it being fruity!!

 

[DCobeen]

depends on pot size and age/size of plant. i would recomend 1/2 tablespoon per gallon to start. then as plant doubles in size so does amount but dont go over 1 tbls till flower time then its 1.5 tbls. then 2 when you are 2 weeks from finish. this is per gallon of water.

 

[Mello136]

Ok perfect. Should I have started with this yesterday? Lol.

 

[DCobeen]

start next watering. no i take and heat up 1 cup water then mix in molasses then add it to more water to cool it. i make enough to use within 24 hr period. it can sit over night then the water even helps to start breaking it down more.

I put 2 tablespoons of unsoldered blackstrap molasses in a gallon of water and aerate overnight with about a cup of earth worm castings until I get a nice little foam on the top. Keeps the soil super happy.

 

[DCobeen]

Do this to your auto plant. lst/mainline whatever its called.

Then in 6-8 hrs it will do this.

then a month or less you can have this.

i fimmed 1 time to get extra tops i wouldnt suggest doing fim or top. the laying the plant over is a no stess method to get more tops.

Very nice. im gonna start a worm farm maybe african night crawlers since they can handle higher temps.

But do you agree with my pictures as a reference that it is indeed the auto?

remember dont transplant her or top/fim nothing but lst. and they are getting bigger so i would feed every water just make sure to slowly up the amount. you should be at 1/4-1/2 nute amount right now. that is if you water 2 times a week. some figure how much water they use say in 4 days then divide it by 4 and water that amount daily with oxygenated water/feed mix. but i wouldn't do that with out a air pot made for that.

I feed all plants every 5 days. My two oldest are getting 1/2 nutes every feeding. I'm gonna try to tie her down.

The bad thing is my led is my only light and it's running half power(by choice) should I turn it up or will that destroy my other crops vegging? (I assume it would)
