Get some perlite. add a layer to the top @ 1-2 inches thick.
When you transplant add a layer of perlite to the bottom of the container covering the drain holes, add a layer on top. this encapsulates the growing medium, the fungus gnats won't crawl through the perlite.
make sure your soil isn't...
5.4 - 6.2 pH coco coir. as was mentioned 5.8 pH is good.
I agree pH your nutrient solution. IMO- I would also get a soil pH meter to test the growing medium. there really cheap. That way you have your pH Meter to test solution, and run-off, and the soil pH meter to test the medium. There's no...
Curing Marijuana
- 1 -
Once you have learned how to grow a crop the next step is to cure it. You don't want to always
smoke weed that's harsh and bad tasting. Here are some basic tips and a few advanced ones
you can experiment with.
Preparing The Harvest
Curing your harvest is an important step...
IMO- Nitrogen Deficiency,Phosphorus Deficiency, Magnesium Deficiency. and either Calcium Deficiency, or your pH is off. Possible Root Bound Plant.
Good Luck on Your Grow.
The shoots are usually hollow on the drug strains of Marijuana.
Hemp Strains shoots have solid shoots. More material to make hemp.
The Plant will heal over time, everything will be cool.
Good Luck on Your Grow.
the darker the better, but you can go by no brighter than a full moon.
It takes "x" amount of Lumens to start photosynthesis, and activate the photoreceptors in the plant.
How many Lumens? I forgot, but you can find it out on google.
Good Luck on Your Grow.
Harvest when the Trichromes tell you can.
Don't bake it like a cake. 7-8 weeks gets you in the ballpark. You want to see those Trichromes.
Once you grow enough you can tell when there done just by looking at them.
IMO- I see alot of milky Trichromes. you got @2weeks or so. Don't rush. when...
Dutch master makes "Reverse" it stops a plant from being hermaphroditic.
If it was just one branch, IMO- I would just cut that branch off or pluck the male pollen sacs if you can.
Tap water. (City water) I think your pH meter is off. city water will always be 7.0 pH or more.
You don't need a Humidity dome if you sowed the seed.
Warmer temps will help your seed germinate faster.
Yes, put a light over the sowed seed. Your seed is phototrophic, it wants to go twords a light...
Scratch the Darkness off your list, It's just a myth.
put it back in 12/12, and give her some colder temps.
Don't be scared to give her some cold temps. I had my flower room down to 19F one morning.
It's the period of cold that kills your plants.
Look at your Trichromes. Is it time to Harvest...
Let it ride for a little while, see what it does.
Make sure your humidity, and temps are in range.
Get a fan to move the air, leave the fan on all the time.
If it gets worse go to plan "B"
Good Luck on your Grow.
do the same thing you did the week before.
your nutrient solution buffers the pH, after "X" amount of days you pH down to get in Range again.
or
You can just run your R/O water if your unsure of your self. it's only a week right.
The thing about hydro is consistence.
You start with good water...
What your seeing is plant Transpiration. Your plant Transpires water through the leaf into the air. You put a leaf on top of a leaf, and the water can't evaporate into the air. You get moisture on the leaf.
IMO- it's nothing to get all worked up about. But you should have a little more air...
