Grow 2.0 kicks off!

[herbgrower]

Hey all! Hope you are all doing well. I am starting my second grow. This is an auto grow.

Doing three plants this time. All in 5 Gallon air pot.

Two are Cream Cookies from FastBuds. One is strawberry cheesecake from Seedsman.

Let's see how it goes.

Excellent, have fun with this, those are some tasty strains.

One suggestion would be to put the clear cups in a darkened cup while you start things off. Roots don't like light and can even begin to grow algae if exposed to it. Many people do the clear cups to check on root progress, but they slide it into another, darker solo cup.

[Venkman]

Good luck.
just started my first coco-perlite grow with GH trio and I’m a complete noob so keep the updates coming please 😁

 

[growell]

if u using a ppm meter u will get sky high results with gh trio dont worry as long as ph is good u alright i stopped useing my ppm meter and i use full nutes every feed just a heads up mate

 

[herbgrower]

Good to see you!

 

[herbgrower]

Thanks for pointing that out. I have had algae in my previous grow cup. I'll make it dark.

 

[herbgrower]

Thanks man.

 

[Venkman]

Nice one, appreciate the advice 👍

A quick update fellas, my pH pen is out of calibration and I am out of buffer powder. I have ordered one but it might take some time. Any suggestions for a makeshift pH balanced solution or substance? Any of you attended Walter White's chemistry class?

 

[ChadWestport]

Right on! I do like using that method though, getting to pull the clear cup up and seeing the roots grow is awesome. Where was this task in science class?

 

[growell]

Citric acid to bring down mate

 

[herbgrower]

I have the pH up and down solution but I dont have the solution which can calibrate my ph pen. As a result i dont know the true ph of the water.

 

[herbgrower]

Yeah man! It's like veins but only white!

 

[growell]

Were are u what country if i test something with my ph pen u can buy same product test it see how far u out mate

 

[herbgrower]

That sounds interesting but I just got a ph paper to settle things for now. My local store should have the solution by tomorrow. Let's see.

 

[growell]

Ok mate no worries

Day 10

Strawberry seems to be on a good pace. Both cream cookies appear to be slow. They are not in ideal conditions atmosphere wise. I don't even want to reveal temps and rh. They are that bad, yet the seedlings look ok. Do you see any signs of stress? Is this going towards stunting? This is my first time auto. I have known photos to be forgiving. Thoughts?
