10/10 Clone took lst off, she looks terrible, I had not watered for 5 days leaves clawing and took lst ties off. Day 5 for Autos true leaves looking a bit curled (not as much on Gelato) not sure if water PH issue or lights still? got PH meter, I was using my filtered water and when tested it was bout 5PH! Tap ruGH ph down. So prob locking out pretty much ALL nuits? Now boiling water first night before then watering with 6.5ish clone about 3 cups water (some run off I think bc soil was so dry even though I tried to mist soild surface to break water tension? And watered extremely slow to soak in and not find easy way to run out)autos like 2 tablespoons, dont ask me why lol
10/13 Poor clone girl not looking great with older bottom leaves but tops are more green! so what do I do to her? Bend her over of course! Easy bc she was so dehydrated? Lol used same ties. clone is taller so I think the ppfd on clone was about 500ish before? Now all about the same height autos round 300ish? Temps 75-79/80 RH 50-60% days and nights 45-50RH and temps around 65. Should I keep heater on at night at least around 70-75?? Water – clone about 700 ml, autos about 350 mls (rin off)
10/15 they are all greening up, getting water now lol, Clone took off ties and put on some small tent stakes. I have other 9gauge wire coming may make some of my own and 12 in garden stakes to look at. I still want to cut all those yellowed older fan leaves off, but not sure there is enough green on the new tops to sustain her? Day 10 Autos more true leaves and liking the watering of course! Moved light at around 22 inch per mfg and 50% ish now all about same height and 350-400ppfd? Still using the photone app but also a Lux reading (converting to ppfd I know not same thing or exact but with conversion it was with in about 50+- ppfd so I think it helped me dial in lighting? and trying to go between using both. I have a the VIVOSUN 6 Mil Mylar Diamond Film Roll but had trouble putting it up in one sheet as I didn't want it tight in the corners and tried to make it rounded and had trouble. Walls are not flat white more a warm color, so I know it would give better reflection, I think? May put it up or just paint flat white
10/16 Clone old leaves are terrible, I am tucking to give tops best light, but they are also touching soil which I dont want, still just want to clip them. New growth enough to sustain clone? Do it all at once or just take a few at a time? Day 11 autos, they are looking good I think? Node spacing good I think? First got the APERA AI209 then got the APERA AI316 Premium Series PC60 5-in-1 Waterproof pH/EC (Conductivity) /TDS (ppm) /Salinity (ppt) /Temp still learning it, didnt calibrate it just started using it, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed at this point. but first set of results didnt even take all measurements I could so these may not be the best numbers but will grab all of them next time: Tap water ph around 8.2 down to 6.5, tds/PPM 210, Sal .13 Run off from auto if I did this right as the tds I just have pushed something so reading was ppt in lieu of ppm but seems WAY high? - cond 2.3, tds ppt 170, Sal ppt 1.18 and ph 6.58 from what I read FF soils come adjusted at about 6.3-6.8ph, but does it buffer? Still confused if it buffers ph but still learning!
Still have all those questions and not sure what nuits I want. I do have Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 a I think both are a slow the 4-4-4 esp and also depend on soil microbes which I have no idea how mine are. And also have FF Big Bloom and Grow Big (from summer veg garden seedlings) I do have Recharge use it? I wanted to start additional nuits around week 3-4 for autos to give more but I also think they are SO small they ave not tapped into any of the nuits in soil but I want to top dress? Gaia? Worm castings? Liquid fert watering? I do want to keep this organic.
