Hello all. I've decided I needed to ask for help before problems arise. I have a couple organics and 2 regular grows.
3x 15 gallon pots with 3lbs natures living in the lower 1/3rd mixed with cocoloco.
3x 5 gallon with cali hotsoil on the bottom and cocoloco on top per manufacturer spec
2x 5 gallon with all cocoloco.
I have some roots organic terp tea grow and bloom (bloom saved for later) in my cart on Amazon ready for purchase. I already have dyna-gro grow on hand (bloom saved for later). First question is on top dressing the organics. They can both be fertilized with the terp tea, but when is the appropriate time to add grow dressing? As needed or is there a good average point to fertilize an organic grow? Ummmmm...im pretty baked but I know there is more I want to ask...
Let's see, I'm in a 5x5x7 tent with 1x 6" intake, 1x 8" exhaust fans, 4x circulation fans and a 750w led. Aci controller. Grand daddy purple is the strain. The tall lady in the pic caused me to lower my light to probably down to 25-30in up on 25%. Running 24 until the new seedling pop up then when I have all 8 showing i was going to switch to 18/6 for the veg.
I attempted to germinate all my seeds in the big pots and was not successful in the 15 gallons. I let them dry out too much. The 5 gallon pots were almost all successful. I have 4 more seeds that were popped in a glass and placed in the small cups on top of their next spot. I did this last night.
For some back story and just because I feel its important to share for the purpose of helping aim any perspective advice that this will be my one and done with potting based medium grows. I started to build my grow environment with the intention of growing hydro. My reason?? Im a skilled in the arts of maintaining rdwc type systems that are automated and very big. I have installed a few chemical sense and dispense systems and do all the programming and maintenance. Im a mighty fine plumber. I can balance a system with several parameters to monitor. So if I can do all this why tf am I NOT already doing this? So I'm building. Started with creating the ideal environment for the weed (which is a new aspect of this to me) and that turned out be be a bit more demanding than I had originally thought. I had to buy a bunch of stuff. Got that stuff all assembled and put into place and stood back and realized I can grow in this. Im still in the process of aquiring hydro parts and that is going to take probably another 2-3 months of saving and buying and building so why tf not put my last 2 months of work to use? So I start looking up how to grow in soil. After nearly 2 years of hobby reading to prepare the most awesome hydros for a tent and sifting through different designs I had to cram in a quickie on soil grow. This leads me to this site. So I just jump right in following nebulas suggestions. Now im full of apprehension and a poo stink in my tent. I had a limited amount of funds to play with for my potting grow so I got as big a variety of stuff as I could do. I figured if I went with the same strain then the mediums being different wouldn't matter? Lol. If I can turn out some weed as im learning I will be satisfied. Practice training will be cool. But I need to get there first.
