ViparSpectra KS3000 - 5x5 Solo Cup run #2

[Observer]

and ill water anywhere from 1-2 times every day

 

[Observer]

Yeah imo have to go by weight. I think your N is already higher so if you went to the proper weights you prob be great

ok let me bust out the scale and see the measurements again ill report back lol

maybe it was too much nutes? meaning id use less water.....hmm (?)

i wrote the recipe down on some page

 

[Observer]

@Aqua Man

1/4 tsp epsom = 1.1 gram
1/4 tsp 5-12-26 = 1.1 gram
1/4 tsp 15-0-0 = 1.1 gram





so in reality what i was apparently doing then
per gallon
@
1/8tsp 15-0-0 = 0.5 grams
1/4tsp 5-12-26 1.0gram
1/4tsp epsom = 1.1 gram

there seems to be a .1 variance in my scale but w/e negligible ish

per gallon of water, now i dont have an ec meter, and i do use tap water.

Im almost thinking you should mix at the recommended weights and see where that takes you. You can do equal parts of a and b but about 1/3 of those for mag sulphate and that should also be fine start to finish just adjusting concentration

@Aqua Man

Sorry it's out of order I wasn't scraping that shit around eachother lol

That seems like a lot of salts man.

We could use a nutrient calculator possibly to figure the ec besides my city's tap water - I can find that somewhere I'm sure.

Ok now after seeing those id just carry on man you can change to a more equal a and b but need to watch the Ca then and up the ppm a bit . Personally with no meters I wouldn’t fuck around and stay the course

and thats how i did the solo run too and just switched it up a little for flower with no ec meter either =)

but hey i have no problem listening to you and trying youre advice ofc

just talkin it out with ya

so we can see

im also trying to be precise with nutrient use and use little as possible, just whats needed.

thank you sir

makes sense as im trying to increase nitrogen as you can see the bottom is dieing off a little maybe but the top is going good, but for better overall health, slightly increase it a little/boost growth (?), and then drop my mg maybe why im also getting burnt tips cause i read somewhere maybe it was moe red, burnt tips can be incorrect nutrient ratios and ive also read stuff they dont assimilate will get pushed to the tips (?)

 

[Observer]

and the idea was to not have as many salts that dry back.

 

[Observer]

Half my outlets just stopped working

What tf

 

[Observer]

The power strips are fine

 

[Observer]

Ok my life flashed before my eyes
I was about to have a heart attack lol

I reset the breaker once, nothing happened, checked outlets around, came back reset the breaker again


Thank fucking fuck.

This shit is very hydroscopic, been keeping it dry in the fridge.

these next 2 gallons ill try

1/4tsp 5-12-26 = 1.0g
1/4tsp 15-0-0 = 1.0g
1/8tsp epsom = 0.5g


instead of
1/8tsp 15-0-0 = 0.5g
1/4tsp 5-12-26 = 1.0g
1/4tsp epsom = 1.0g

Seeing some others just under the medium not too far behind

[Aqua Man]

You think maybe because my PPFD is rather low that nutrient use is okay?

I'm trying to figure out my bottleneck, and maximize my growth rate.

Because those that were in the 2x4 were around 200-300ppfd

Or do you think that PPFD is appropriate for that size.

I think they are fine by the pics

I was sponsored by VS too but havent heard anything from valerie, she told me "everything will be fine, have a lovely weekend" that was when all the shit hit the fan like 2 weeks ago.

As far as not getting tall plants, thats because autos usually dont get very tall. Photoperiods are where its at imo.

I aint heard anything from them either

 

[GoodShit97]

I aint heard anything from them either

She gave me an email a while back to contact the farm and see if i could get my acct back but i never got a response from the farm so my guess is VS is just gonna let it be. I mean at the end of the day, what did they really lose if they were going to give us the stuff at the end of it anyways? We did nothing wrong so its only fair lmao

Guessing they aint gena come over to this one are they.

No because logic will permanently ban them if they come over. Theyll prolly pull the plug at the farm before the year is over.

They pulled out a while ago i believe.

just put the contact in the blocked or spam folder, lmao.

ive not heard from em either lol

@Aqua Man do you leave you're seedlings on 24hours low PPFD?
Or do you DLI them

Never 24/0 here… 18/6 always for me from start to flower

I just realized how dirty that sounds

 

[Observer]

Gotcha

I'll do that this run, if I run them 16/8 can I turn the intensity up to match DLI and get the same growth?

For the heat and spread from LED?
