    Grow Dots and Recharge for the Real Growers Challenge 2022

    Speaking of Stunting Your Grow Just to make the pain more obvious. I went out to Grow Diaries and pulled a photo mix of Super Skunk Autos at "4 Weeks" to compare what the average plant looks like at at this point. I see I am not the only one who stunted. However most folks are way taller and...

    Bubba73: Yours look great. Don't blame the "products" for the stunted growth. I take ALL the blame. :wall: I did two things wrong right off the bat after germination: • Kept the Solo Cups too wet, • Way overblasted them with lights. They look held-back by at least 2 weeks and it is...

    Day 27 -- Stats VPD is better. Mainly, because I added a Swamp Cooler. They may not really cool all that well, but they do add extra humidity to help with my purpose-built humidifier. Note: I see I was off one day on the photos above.

    Day 26 & Day 21: Nice growth. It looks like any problems from the start are continuing to fade into the distance. Plants are shut off from the reservoir, while I load up Recharge and some enzymes from the AutoPot valve chamber. Note how the Double Grape's initial light damaged leaves are not...

    I was thinking about your concerns for the lack of N during the flower stetch and I remember something I bought when I first started growing. Like a lot of newbies I was soaking knowledge. Part of that included learning about bio-stimulants like amino acids and peptides. So, I found this...

    Day 23 & 18 - Photos & Notes: Double Grape is starting to add to biomass. That's comforting. Super Skunk has the funniest Pheno with the split leaf. Photographer Note: No more Foliar with Recharge or Kelp & Seaweed. Those really made the leaves look horrible. I did put 8 oz of light...

    The nitrogen thing is good to know. I normally use Jacks and once I asked them what recipe with they recommend to make a Calcium Buffer for coco (if needed) and they sent back 1.2 grams per gallon of their Cal/Nit (Part B). I know that's Apples and Oranges. However, maybe if I do a folliar of...

    No bad luck with Recharge. My issues were with too much light, and probably keeping the roots zone too damp. They are both looking better. I think things have turned around. Once I moved them into their final pot they seem to be acclimating well. TIme will tell on the Grow Dots. I decided...

    Thanks for asking. Get Ready for a TLDR post. This is a subject I love. bongsmilie Before equipment, let me tell you about the man behind the camera.

    Day 22 - Photos & Notes: • Added Mosquito Bits as a "Cover" to Fend Off Future Fungus Gnats. • Re-Calibrated my Apera pH pen and set the Reservoir to 5.8 pH. • Used a 20 ml Syringe and gave each plant some very light nutrients and other bio-stimulants to encourage growth into the Grow Dot...

    Day 20 (07/26/22) - And I've got problems Let's start with the obvious problem. As you can see, there are some pretty ugly brown tips going on with my Double Grape. My guess, the discoloring is because of way too much light. Even though I was being careful with checking PPFD, etc. When I...
