Snapchat annoys me, was trying to download it to my camera roll/export it it says exported, exported fuckin where? Not in any albums or files/downloads.

Lol

 

[Observer]

Gotta keep a flap open on minimal setting

 

[Observer]

41 seeds planted.

may do 1 more 55qt tote - fits 16 red solos - bottom 5-6 top
& 1 more 6qt tote - fits 6 red solos

for 63 total REGs -/2 = 31~ Females left over, ima have to do more lol.

that would be the last of my perlite, or little over.

 

[Observer]

If i had a bowl for every cent i loaded and then didnt smoke it right then - id be rich.

brb.

 

[Observer]

ill figure out the lighting zones once they pop up

may move the ks3000 over to the side and put some little panels

think i have em all, LM301 D/B/H LEDs and LM281b+ LED boards/panels now lol

 

[MDK]

Can't wait for this one to be in full swing

 

[Observer]

Right, starting to get excited again

Should see something tonight or tomorrow popup.
Rh and temps are 70+

I'll do another 100+solo run down the line, maybe in the next place if we can get moved after 3 months from now or so.

 

[Observer]

Got quite a few different things going on

Different ratios of coco/perl

Straight perlite
Straight coco

Solos cups, solo cups in an "aerotote" where the roots will be able to hang down in the air/chamber

2, like half gallon pots - want to see if there's a size difference just starting in different sizes by

And coco watering needs per % ratio mix difference

 

[Observer]

well im not even really sure why they offered me the light my grows never were that great but so far i love the light
and would be the ass im known for if they wanted the damn thing back lol not worried about the spider farmer stuff

Same, I barely have experience

Pretty sure it was just my crazy 210>110 solo cup run that got there attention

Just not dealing with all that watering and cups falling over.

Plus I'm about out of materials

best thing about being a stay at home dad is i can be a kid again (still am lol)

mixing a higher ec solution to increase my mediums EC

so far i see one seed that has popped up. daughter has my phone so cant take pics right now

Right now its your phone, next your wallet and finally your keys lol

oh yea, cant let her get the wallets, cards scattered everywhere lol

For now… wait till she gets a bit older

Dear god

I wanna keep her the way she is lol

Awe… so did i man… so did i.

 

[Observer]

I'm almost out of solos

Go figure

I had like 300

Was thinking last night, gotta spend more time with her during the day, you'll miss this when you're older and hate your self for it

Absolutely

assuming, if i want to push a higher ec ill have to drop the 15-0 ratio slightly and increase the 5-12-26 ratio and epsom (?)

You can pretty much run transition from start to finish at a slightly higher ppm

 

[Observer]

transition

what are you refeering to exactly? , calling transition

What nutrients are you using?

sorry, jacks 15-0-0, jacks 5-12-26 and just epsom salt!

 

[Aqua Man]

What the weights your using now? I would think about equal weights would be fine. Just watch for any sign of a Ca deficiency. You have cal mag?

nope just those 3 bags.

i stopped weighing, but can again, was doing


1 - 1/4epsom
1 - 1/4tsp 1-4 5-12-26
1 - 1/8tsp 15-0-0

now i know/hear youre supposed to do this by weight, which i did at first, i cant remember if i stopped because the scoops were close to the amounts i was mesuring anyways (?) but this is how ive been doing it for veg mostly and they are green.
PER GALLON

my last 2 jugs, on my veg tent i wanted to see if i can start pushing them more - increasing nitro and calc

1 - 1/8tsp epsom or 1/4 tsp
1 - 1/8tsp 5-12-26
1 - 1/4tsp 15-0-0

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

 

[Observer]

and ill water anywhere from 1-2 times every day

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

 

[Observer]

@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.

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 (?)
